Piazza by Anthony
The latest venture by the Flinn family (known for their flagship restaurant Anthony’s in Leeds) is located at the Corn Exchange in Leeds.
The building, which is Grade I listed, was built in 1861 and is one of Britains finest Victorian buildings. Over the years it has seen a number of different retail uses and even stood empty for a while. So it is wonderful to see that the building has now been restored to its
former glory to house a Food
Emporium. The interior design is tasteful and really brings out the beauty and charm of the original scheme.
The Emporium includes a 125 seat brasserie situated in a central opening, a cafe, a lounge bar, private dining rooms, and retail shops. These sound just as inviting as they include: a Bakery, Patisserie, Chocolate Shop, Cheese and Ham Shop and Ingredients Shop. They also feature ‘theatre’ production kitchens where the customer can watch the food being freshly prepared throughout the day. This is a concept B3 Designers have successfully used in the Cinnamon Kitchen, where diners have a large view into the kitchen.
