Best Brunch Leeds: 15 spots for a late-morning feast
"Fettle is a slice of Scandinavian serenity in the heart of the city and it’s the perfect place to while away the hours with a coffee. They serve Limini coffee from Cleckheaton, and each cup, whether you go for an espresso, cappuccino or latte, is made with a double shot for a deeper, darker flavour. They also serve Sandows’ renowned cold brew coffee for something different, and you can tuck into a range of tasty Scandi-inspired morsels."
"Fine dining from morning until night, Fettle has come a long way since its days as a Scandi cafe. They serve beautifully crafted dishes using handpicked and always sustainable produce. By day, they’ll introduce you to new brunch favourites, like their Bokkeumbap, a delicious mix of pork belly and kimchi fried rice with an oh-so-oozy fried egg."
"Although it isn’t at the heart of the city, it isn’t far from it either. It’s located less than five minutes walk from Leeds Town Hall. This Scandinavian cafe and restaurant is a great choice for those who love organic and seasonal locally sourced ingredients."
"Yet another establishment found within Micklegate, Partisan is a trendy and independent coffee shop, which transforms into a restaurant in the evening. The menu’s diverse, and changes every week – as a result, it’s difficult to make a solid recommendation on which dish to choose, however, the principles at Partisan are clear – they value seasonality, allow the ingredients to do the talking and provide a relaxed, indulgent experience for diners. They were this year highlighted as one of the best restaurants in York by the Good Food Guide, which described “This distinctive arrival on blossoming Micklegate is principally a daytime café with a rustic ambience."
"Located on Micklegate, Partisan serve both breakfast and brunch. Treat yourself to French Toast, Eggs Benedict, Smashed Avocado and Melted Goats Cheese or the fabulous Partisan Breakfast."
"Brew and Brownie was a place that I wanted to visit in York for the longest time, but every time we went passed it, there were queues out of the door and down the street!. Thankfully, one day last spring, Matt and I managed to grab a table and even though I was recovering from just having my tonsils removed, I was determined to make the most out of our visit there!. Brew and Brownie offer an incredible breakfast/brunch menu including everything from a smorgasbord of egg dishes, avocado dishes and plenty of tasty sandwiches."
"Brew & Brownie have two locations in York, just doors apart from one another on Museum Street. One of the locations operates as a Bakeshop and the other as a great little cafe. Inspired by the seasons and the tastes from their countryside upbringings, the owners of Brew & Brownie serve a menu of sweet and savoury treats plus premium coffees and loose leaf teas."

"There’s an easy, relaxed vibe at Giraffe which makes it an ideal place to take the kids to eat. The self-claimed ‘World Kitchen’ offers a great selection of international dishes for the grown-ups, but there’s more traditional fare on their dedicated kids menu, including breaded fish fingers and grilled chicken breast. There’s a Katsu curry and a cheesy quesadillas to keep the global tagline going, however."
"Had the Hoisin duck noodle salad and it was tasty, loving the new options on the menu I'll be back again for sure. 26/05/2021: New menu is amazing!. Finally some flavoursome decent vegan options!!"
"At DIG, you get to discover only the most exciting archaeological artefacts from the 2000 years of history hidden under the streets of York. Our four excavation pits are filled with Roman, Viking, Medieval and Victorian finds, so you can grab a trowel and dig up the clues that show how people lived in these times.

"What: Issho – which means ‘together’ in Japanese – champions dishes that are designed to be shared among family and friends, and its weekend brunch menu is no different. Served buffet style, with hot dishes served to the table on request, this contemporary Japanese dining destination’s bottomless brunch offer includes a wide selection of sushi, ramen and donburi to soak up the fizz that flows freely for 90 minutes.Where: Issho, Victoria Gate, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS2 7AU"
"Issho is a stylish venue, serving upmarket Japanese food alongside trendy cocktails. The restaurant is spacious, and their outdoor terrace provides the perfect environment to enjoy their delicious (although rather expensive) cocktails. The spider rolls are great, and I highly recommend their Baos which are like little fluffy clouds of love!"
"With an incredible izakaya-style menu and a roof terrace equipped for heated outdoor dining in Leeds, Issho is winning points for style and substance. The perfect place for a special occasion, the restaurant and bar also has a number of signature cocktails available."
"Sushi are a slick chain sushi restaurant with dine in and takeaway options. You can choose from classic sushi dishes like a Dragon Roll, Dynamite Roll or Salmon Maki or Sashimi. You could also go for Takoyaki or a Yasai Roll."
"If you’re wanting a restaurant in Leeds that offers a serious slice of theatre with your meal, then Teppanyaki will steal the show. These guys whip up traditional Japanese cuisine before your very eyes, because each table comes equipped with its own ‘teppan’ hotplate. Choose from a sumptuous selection of grilled goodies, like sticky duck teriyaki, king prawn and scallops in Tokyo butter, or a scene-stealing fillet steak with lobster tail, then watch your meal be sliced, sizzled and spun straight onto your plate."
"Teppanyaki is famous for its theatrical preparation of hot dishes on their grill-top tables, but did you know they also did delicious sushi?. They have all the usual fish options, like salmon, tuna and prawn, but it’s the experimental combinations that set them apart. There’s spicy chicken katsu maki and mango California rolls, the latter of which gives the raw fish an irresistible burst of sweetness."
"Add a little theatre to your meals out with a trip to Teppanyaki. The Japanese restaurant is preparing your food right in front of your eyes, with chefs juggling, flipping and setting fire to a whole array of seafood and meat."
