Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Kirk Smeaton

"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."

"Fettle is a local favourite in Leeds thanks to its yummy food and charming Scandinavian-style décor. Their brunch menu has dishes from across the globe and plenty of options for us meat-free folk to tuck into, while their smaller evening menu also has several veggie-friendly options. If you’re after a calming atmosphere and some delicious food, then get booked in here now."

"Cosy cafe by day, fine-dining dynamo by night, Fettle is full of surprises. Over the years, it’s blossomed into one of the best restaurants in Leeds. Brunch is an all-day affair with a refined menu of daytime favourites."

"Sample a variety of global cuisine at this popular Argentinian owned cafe. Inside you will find a totally relaxed atmosphere with wooden decor and a range of rustic and antique furniture that are always up for sale. This independent coffee shop come homeware store come restaurant is a true local gem, particularly popular with those who value a real community vibe."

"Partisan is a vibrant, independent coffee shop located on Micklegate in York and the cafe has been a long term dream for owner, Florencia. They serve a modern menu for breakfast, brunch, lunch and afternoon tea every day of the week. And they also open on evenings later in the week for casual dining."

"We are an independent speciality coffee shop/restaurant situated in York’s most elegant street. We have an all day Breakfast/Brunch menu and a few lunch dishes. We cook everything to order using the best quality fresh ingredients."

"What’s on the menu – York’s best brownies delivered to your doorstep – what’s not to love?. Millionaire’s shortbread and rocky road are on the menu too."

"These days, My Thai has a couple of openings spread out across the city centre; the all-action communal-style benches of the Merrion Street one make for the best atmosphere, one that wouldn’t look out of place in the street food markets of Bangkok. The Penang comes well recommended (it’s our favourite) and you can partner it with a selection of light bates for a couple of quid each. They’ve even partnered up with Deliveroo, so you don’t even have to leave the sofa."

"You would assume that the Best Restaurant in Leeds (as judged by the British Restaurant Awards) would be a pricy affair, but My Thai offers surprisingly affordable food in its two Leeds addresses. Most of the main dishes come in at under a tenner with starters and sides also reasonably priced. Step out of your comfort zone and try one of their more unusual dishes and leave feeling fully satisfied in terms of flavour and portion sizes."

"Authentic Thai food for under a tenner in under ten minutes. Seriously, this place is the bomb dot com. Any of their dishes will hit the spot, but I always think you can judge a place on its Pad Thai – and My Thai's one is delicious."

"Côte Brasserie is a name the whole country knows – they’re famed for their delicious French fare. The venue is inspired by Parisian bistros, and they’ve got a menu to match. You can pop in for breakfast, lunch or supper – start the day with French Toast, fruit salad and maple syrup, head back at lunch to sample their Steak Frites with garlic butter or nip in for a hearty dinner of Roasted Pork Belly."

"Step inside their cool, rustic Call Lane cafe which is split over two floors or grab one to go at Kirkgate Market and get ready for a delicious cuppa. They’ve gone for Leeds favourites North Star, which they turn into their distinctive Australian-style serve – expect big punchy flavours whether you’re going for a flat white or their signature long black. They also offer an Aeropress filter coffee, and if you fancy a bite to eat, try the pancakes at breakfast, a freshly made sandwich for lunch or one of their handmade cakes at any time of day."

"With Leeds being such a driven, working environment, its easy to get wrapped up in the busy hustle and bustle of the working week. We all need somewhere to unwind and If Coffee Bar is the perfect spot for just that. They offer delicious coffee and a range of home made delights – perfect for a quiet lunch and a chance to re-charge before heading back to the office!"

"When it comes to pancakes in Leeds, If Coffee Bar is a secret contender. Their homemade American-style discs are a joy to behold and they have loads of toppings for you to choose from."

"Ice Scoop Gelato is one of the best places for ice cream in Leeds. They have a slew of flavours, all made in house on the day, like Ferrero Rocher and Kinder Bueno. If you fancy something a little bit adventurous go for the salted caramel, or how about one that’s a bit fruity?"

"Enjoy a little fresh air with an invigorating walk around Chevin Forest Park, a short drive from Leeds overlooking the town of Otley. The walk shows off the best of Yorkshire’s natural scenery, taking in dramatic views, rocky outcrops and moorlands scattered with beautiful purple heather."
