Our Story

La Palmera

La Palmera began as a family’s dream to bring the warmth and flavors of Mediterranean cooking to the heart of Roundhay, Leeds. With recipes passed down through generations, we opened our doors committed to using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients—a promise that continues to shape our menu today.

Guided by a shared passion for honest, home-style cooking, we believe that food has the power to unite people and create cherished memories. Every dish on our menu reflects our heritage, with a personal touch that celebrates the rich tapestry of Mediterranean cuisine.

From the start, we set out to build a welcoming space where our neighbours, friends, and families could come together to enjoy great food and the moments that happen around the table. At La Palmera, that spirit of togetherness is at the heart of everything we do.
