Farmhouse, an independently-owned restaurant specialising in breakfast, brunch and all-day disheshas just opened in the city centre.
How do you like your eggs in the morning? Poached? Scrambled? We'll have them however they come, as long as they're from Farmhouse.
The new restaurant has just opened its second location on Lands Lane in Leeds City Centre, with an already cult following in Harrogate we were expecting big things, and it certainly did not disappoint.
The breakfast menu is served until 4pm and consists of all the classics you could imagine, from the hangover-curing full english to the protein-packed eggs on toast.

Alongside a caffeine-fuelled coffee menu and fresh smoothies on offer, this is the place to go if you're looking to kickstart your day the right way.
They also serve a lunch menu featuring burgers, rice bowls, salads and more - but it's the breakfast that we're really raving about here.
If you're looking to keep it light and fresh than the Acai Bowl and Granola with coconut yoghurt are both great options, piled high with vibrant fruit and a dollop of creamy peanut butter.

If you've got a sweet tooth then we urge you to order the Blueberry and Banana Pancakes, a real sight to behold as a hefty stack of fluffy pancakes is drenched in sticky blueberry compote and maple syrup.
We recommend you order these for the table to share, almost like a breakfast dessert kind of because, why on earth not?
The Farmhouse Benedict though was definitely a standout - crispy halloumi cubes and perfectly poached eggs sat proudly on a crispy potato rosti drenched in a decadent hollandaise sauce. Absolute filth.
The Mediterranean Breakfast is for the avocado-lovers out there, with smashed avocado, hummus, roasted tomatoes and fried halloumi served with sourdough to create your perfect bite.
Although we were tempted, we resisted the Farmhouse cocktail menu which consisted of a delicious selection of carefully curated tipples. There's always next time though...

All of the food was served piping hot and we left ready to attack the day ahead of us. A fantastic addition to Leeds' already thriving food scene, we can't wait to go back.

"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
