Issho, Cuckoo and Taag voted as best bottomless brunch in Leeds for vegetarians

50% of all Issho's bottomless brunch options are vegan and vegetarian.

Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 17th May 2022

It's National Vegetarian Week.

Leeds was voted fifth best in the country for its variety of bottomless brunch.

According to a study from www.bottomlessbrunch.com, vegetarians aren't fed too badly when it comes to a boozy session with friends and family- but there are plenty of cities that do it better than us in all bottomless servings.

In first place, Sheffield received a whopping 76/110, followed by Manchester with a respectable score of 62/100- both of which are only an hour away from Leeds city centre by train.

Whilst there may be more of a variety out of town, that doesn't mean that Leeds' version of a veggie or vegan bottomless isn't full of stand-out favourites, delicious dishes and meat-free offerings that make even the most devout carnivore jealous.

Taking the top spot in Leeds is Issho, with a 50% of all bottomless options coming as a vegetarian serving. Expect authentic Japanese sushi, bao buns and delectable finger food with free-flowing Prosecco available every week from one of Leeds' most stunning rooftop bars: a must-try for anyone searching for a veggie-friendly experience.

Issho was closely followed by Taag: an Italian that offers three different bottomless brunches across the weekend. Starting with an Italian feast at their bottomless Friday night serving, dance to throwback tunes on Saturdays with bottomless vodka and classic dishes and tuck into a bottomless Sunday roast to finish off the week- there's plenty to choose from. If that's not enough, a solid 44.44% of their foodie portions are vegetarian too.

In third place, a bottomlessbrunch.com favourite, Cuckoo's bargain bottomless comes as a £20 deal with unlimited pizza slices and beer towers. The unique menu has a whopping 40% as vegetarian options and allows you to eat and drink with unlimited servings.

Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this summer

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.

If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.

The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.

Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.

And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.

The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.

And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!

Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.

It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.

The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.

We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this summer.

Ireland’s famous fast food phenomenon, the spice bag, has landed in Leeds Kirkgate Market

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

You can now grab the ultimate hangover cure at our very own Kirkgate Market.

And it comes from none other than The Fisherman's Wife - a Leeds institution that has been serving up fantastic fish and chips for over 60 years.

But now, they're turning their attention to spice bags.

If you have no idea what we're talking about then allow us to fill you in. And we'd recommend pouring yourself an ice cold glass of water, because it's about to get real salty up in here.

The spice bag is an Irish delicacy that is often devoured after a few Guinness on the streets of Dublin, for example.

It consists of shredded and battered chicken, chips, onions and peppers - all deep fried, loaded into a bag and tossed in lashings of salt and pepper seasoning.

Oh, and of course dipped or lathered in a sauce of your choosing. The classic being curry sauce, obviously.

It's been available in Leeds once before at a pop-up in Trinity Kitchen, but now The Fisherman's Wife is here to make them a permanent option for anyone with that salty craving.

You've got a couple of flavours to choose from too, including peri-peri, plain, salt & chilli and of course the classic salt & pepper.

You can then add a drizzle of sriracha, curry sauce (obviously) or sticky honey if you're looking for that sweet and salty balance.

The best part? They're selling these for just £6.50.

So next time you've had a few too many the night before, get yourself to The Fisherman's Wife inside Leeds Kirkgate Market's food hall and get yourself a spice bag. You'll be cured in no time.
