The Engine House Cafe

After a recommendation from a twitter follower, we went down to the Engine House for breakfast. The cafe is located in Holbeck Urban village, in the area behind the Midnight Bell pub.

Outside there are plenty of tables and chairs, next to the 'Wonderwood' garden. There it is sheltered from the wind, south facing and away from the road making it quite a nice little place to sit. Alternatively inside you can enjoy the cosy atmosphere and the old industrial metal and brick interior of the cafe.

The breakfast menu is a traditional offering. We chose the salmon and scrambled egg with toast for £5.25.

Drinks were served promptly (good coffee and although not fresh squeezed, nice quality orange juice) and the food arrived not long after. We were impressed by the presentation and generous portions. The food was simple but had been chosen/cooked well.The total including 2 drinks each was £16.45 which I thought was pretty good for what was a good tasty breakfast in really nice surroundings. We noticed they do a 3 course evening menu including a glass of wine/beer for £16.95 which will be worth going back to try.

We went here in April and I must admit it was amazing, we had a starter and main and they were delicious - the quality of food was incredible and even though we used our hi life card I thought the prices were still great for the food that you got.
