Where to Get the Best Brunch in Leeds
"This Scandinavian-inspired little cafe is a little off the beaten path, but Fettle is well worth seeking out. It’s a bright airy space with long wooden benches and cool light fittings. Grab a cup of Limini coffee, a special Ippuku Japanese tea or one of the special brew teas from Jeeves and Jericho, before poring over their food menu."
"Fettle offers an array of tasty clean eats, inspired by cuisines from across the world. You can try the shakshuka, a hearty vegetable stew, brimming with North African spices. Or if you’re feeling particularly hungry, go for their vegan-friendly gnocchi."

"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."
"Just down the street from The Lawrance on Micklegate, you’ll find Partisan, an independent family run café and restaurant. Supporting local suppliers and independent producers, Partisan cooks everything to order using fresh ingredients for their rustic, modern British menu. They serve a variety of dishes and work hard to cater to vegans and vegetarians with inventive dishes."
"When to go: Head down for a lazy brunch, take a book, order a large coffee, and while away a few hours. What to have: The partisan breakfast (meat, veggie and vegan available) cooked and served in a skillet, is comfort food at its best. For something a little lighter, try their Persian eggs with Medjoul dates and warming spices."
"Relax, eat and drink in the stylish, contemporary interior that is Brew and Brownie. Located opposite the Museum Gardens, this coffee shop in York is a very popular destination for coffee and brunch alike. So popular, in fact, that they have opened a second premises just a few doors down – B&B Bakeshop."
"York Business Park, White Rose Cl, Nether Poppleton, York YO26 6RL. Beefeater’s breakfast offering at is excellent value especially if you have kids as one child eats free and they count kids as 15 and under. Breakfast is a set charge but is unlimited and you can help yourself to all the components of a full English breakfast as well as continental items like pain au chocolat, cinnamon and raisin bagels, sourdough crumpets, fruit and yoghurt and cereal."
"Great, children eat free with a paying adult and it’s set out like a buffet so can choose whatever you want, they have things for a full English, cereal, yogurts, croissants, fruit, unlimited drinks."
"Originally a fruit and veg shop, Mannion’s is now a no-reservations café and deli with queues out the door. Portions are generous so order one of the ginormous platters to share. All bread is made in house and the Welsh rarebit is a cheesy revelation."
"BrunchCharcuterieSmall PlatesInternationalCafeRestaurantYork. When to go: For a good catch up with an old friend. Grab a glass of wine and share a few dishes."
"Little Breads cafe in the Hydro swimming baths offers tasty food and is very family friendly. There is a small area with toys inside, a little fenced play area poolside & a great children’s menu. A microwave is available for customers to use themselves, plastic cutlery for kids & colourin-in on the kids menu."
"This British Asian fusion restaurant offers a menu which spans continents and tantalises taste buds. They proudly offer many traditional curries, dabble in the odd Italian dish, and have a great selection of foods fresh from their flaming grill. The selection doesn’t end there, as they also offer hot drinks, milkshakes and mock-tails, to quench your thirst."
"San Carlo is definitely one of the most luxurious spots to eat out in Leeds – this huge, classy dining room on South Parade is perfect for special occasions. The menu is as authentic as it gets, with recipes from the man the venue is named after used still, whether it’s Filetto al Pepe Verde, Lobster Risotto or their classic pizzas – whatever you choose, it’d be rude not to couple it with one of their handpicked Italian wines. San Carlo, 6-7 South Parade, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 5QX."
"This one’s for the pizza lovers, you’re going to love it here!. San Carlo Leeds is one of the city’s star attractions, offering classic Italian dishes with a modern aesthetic. Whether you got there for lunch or dinner, they’ve got plenty of meals to choose from to suit all tastes."
"Usually, you know what you are going to get at a TGI’s - good burgers, fajitas and drinks.However, from our arrival the visit was a disappointment. The restaurant had no soft drinks, only cordials and waters. Surely they could have got some bottles if the soda machine wasn’t working?"
"Expect the usual array of obscene burgers that promise to fulfil the brand’s ‘come hungry, leave wobbly’ motto, along with hotdogs, fries, sides and hard shakes. Kids and dogs are both welcome and vegans are catered for too."
"Ripley Castle near Harrogate is a child friendly estate which offers regular castle tours especially for children. The children’s tours are a child friendly length of 45 minutes but there are also adult tours available. The extensive grounds of the estate include a deer park, a small children’s play area and a pretty walled kitchen garden so are ideal for a good run around."
"Very close to our Yorkshire Dales distillery in Kettlesing, Ripley Castle is among the best things to see in the Yorkshire Dales. Over 700 years old; the castle has lakes, a deer park, walled gardens, hothouses and more to explore. The grounds are particularly attractive in Spring, when they’re in full bloom."
"Ripley Castle and Gardens, near Harrogate, is an historic attraction open to the public all year round and makes for a fascinating and entertaining day out, in a beautiful location."
"One of the most popular family attractions in Leeds, Tropical World makes for a fantastic day out. It’s home to one of the biggest collections of tropical plants outside of Kew Gardens, but that’s not what’s going to have the kids excited, because you’ll also find a medley of animals here. You’ll peer into tanks of piranhas, catch a glimpse of their crocodile and walk through rooms filled with butterflies, birds and even bats (don’t worry, there’s a wall of glass to protect you in that one)."
"Boasting the largest collection of tropical plants outside Kew Gardens, Tropical World is also popular for its adorable meerkats, terrapins, turtles, tropical birds and butterflies (which are free to flutter around the attraction). As the name suggests, the tropical origins of its inhabitants mean the attraction is kept warm and humid - but you soon adapt to the balmy setting. Tropical World, Princes Avenue, Roundhay LS8 1DF (within Roundhay Park)."
"Fitting in perfectly with our list is Tropical World, which is actually situated in Roundhay Park. This is fantastic for you, not only is it a popular attraction but it will also offer you some shelter from the weather should it turn bad. There is a small admission fee of £5 for adults, or £2.50 for children, but it’s more than worth it for what you’ll be seeing."
"With tree-lined walkways, vast swathes of grassland and a traditional bandstand where live entertained play during the summer, Horsforth Hall Park is a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Japanese gardens are its crowning glory – created in 1987, they reflect the diverse landscapes of the Japanese isles and create a place of contemplation for visitors. The park also has a skate park and a cricket pitch."
"Just north of Rodley Nature Reserve is this park with a Japanese garden, trails and plenty more. The main entrance is off Hall Lane, Horsforth"
