Salvo's in Headingley designed a four-course set menu based on ingredients produced at Caring for Life's Cragg House Farm at Cookridge.
Beetroot-cured organic salmon (provided by a local fishmonger) with sweet pickled cucumber was served to start, followed by a winter vegetable soup with cannellini beans and barley.
The meal was topped off with a pot roasted shoulder of Cragg House white-faced lamb accompanied by Yorkshire Feta, olive and mint crumble and bubble and squeak.
All proceeds from the event are going directly to the YEP-backed StreetSmart campaign that each year raises thousands of pounds to help homeless people of Leeds.
Throughout November and December festive diners at participating restaurants are asked to donate £1 per table – 25p per person in a group of four – at the end of their meal.
All StreetSmart donations are voluntary and can be removed from the bill on request.
All money collected in Leeds is donated to charities working with homeless people in the city and surrounding areas.
Caring For Life runs daytime projects and workshops in agriculture, woodwork, arts and crafts and computing to help vulnerable members of the community achieve a settled constructive lifestyle.
It spent the £2,000 it received last year from the StreetSmart drive on a catering project that provides supported accommodation, resettlement support, therapeutic daytime activity projects, advice, help and friendship.
