Some of my best New Year celebrations have been spent with friends in restaurants. And after last year's efforts, which involved me and my group staggering about looking for a bar that was still open, maybe this year I should learn my lesson and plan a sophisticated New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants. 
After all, it needn't be boring with the amount of events being held on New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants. 

For a complete blow-out you could head to Bibis which has a six-piece swing band playing the likes of Billy Joel and The Jam. It's not cheap at £95 per person, but at least it's one you'll remember and it's sure to have you dancing.

However, there are also some quite cheap deals, especially when you consider entertainment is laid on as well. At The Arch Restaurant they have a gala dinner for just under £60 per person, or you can eat early in the day for just under £30. Other cash-kind options for a New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants  include the party at Room which is £60 per person. It's three courses and they have DJs until 2am.

And just to prove that you don't have to spend more than you should to enjoy New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants  The Arc has a stonker of a deal. They have a three-course menu on offer for just £29.95 plus, afterwards, there's a fancy-dress party based on the theme of Beauty And The Geek, so you can either go as a beauty or a geek. OK, so fancy dress is a tough one, especially if you're having a sit down meal - with your better half - dressed as a geek. Ah well, you'll no doubt be drinking!

If you fancy something a bit more chic, without a whopper of a bill, then go over to Trio. They're having a Black and White Ball, which sounds like an easy dress-code (think Audrey Hepburn), and they're serving up a three-course meal for £35.

But New Years Eve at Leeds restaurants couldn't be any bigger than the one planned at Chino Latino. You can eat enough calories for the rest of the year with their eight-course menu which is £65. They're also putting on DJs and the party is expected to go until the early hours. If you do go to this, and my goodness it's tempting isn't it, I can pretty much guess what your New Year's resolution will be - eat less. Don't worry, it'll be mine too.
