New city centre Tapas restaurant set to open

Tapas restaurant La Casita is to open its next restaurant as part of its rapid expansion plans.

It is set to open its doors on Granary Wharf on 17 November, with the restaurant featuring award winning traditional Andalusian tapas and a hand selection of wines and cocktails.

Following the success of its flagship restaurant in Ilkley, the brand has expanded with new site openings in Boston Spa and Horsforth. The new restaurant’s iconic arch way location and interior will feature a signature bar offering local gins, martinis, cava’s, sherries, sangria and Spanish craft ales.

Co-owned by Simon Miller and Oliver Renton, both chefs, and entrepreneur business partner Ben Riley, the restaurant will serve traditional Spanish tapas using authentic ingredients and Yorkshire produce for lunch and dinner to city residents, visitors and workers.

Simon Miller, co-owner and chef of La Casita said: “Myself, Oliver and Ben are really excited to be introducing our authentic concept in Leeds. We have ambitious UK wide expansion plans for La Casita.

“We recognise there is a lot of competition in the city centre, but we are confident that our offer is unique and our success to date brings with it a great reputation for fantastic traditional tapas and more importantly great service.”

The deal for the La Casita Granary Wharf site was supported by Watsons Law.
