Blue Pavilion is a luxurious East Asian fine dining destination located in the heart of Leeds at 90 Merrion Street. From the team behind Blue Sakura, this sprawling venue brings together centuries-old culinary traditions and modern flair, offering a refined experience that’s as visually stunning as it is gastronomically impressive.
Inside, Blue Pavilion is a feast for the senses. The interiors are inspired by Chinese culture, featuring cherry blossom light fixtures, zodiac statues, and white marble tables that exude sophistication. The restaurant includes three private dining rooms, one with its own karaoke suite, and an adjoining entertainment venue, K-CUBE, for post-dinner celebrations.
The menu, curated by head chef Benny Lee, showcases the depth and elegance of Chinese cuisine. Signature dishes include dim sum platters, peking duck with caviar, Japanese shioyaki wagyu beef, and Taiwanese sanbei chicken. Guests can choose from à la carte options, set menus, and a dedicated dim sum selection, with vegan and gluten-free choices also available. For those seeking a curated experience, the chef’s secret menu offers a journey through lesser-known regional flavours.
The drinks menu is equally indulgent, with premium spirits like The Macallan Sherry Oak 25-year-old and signature cocktails such as jiuzhaigou hu and eyes of the dragon. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in exquisite cuisine, Blue Pavilion offers a complete sensory experience.
Chef Benny Lee brings over a decade of fine dining expertise, blending authenticity with innovation. His passion for food as a cultural connector is evident in every dish, especially during festive occasions like Chinese New Year, where traditional recipes are reimagined to evoke comfort and celebration.
Blue Pavilion is a standout addition to Leeds’ dining scene - an elegant escape where East Asian artistry meets impeccable hospitality.
