It's that time once again, the Trinity Kitchen street food vendors have had an autumnal makeover.
And if there's one thing that is going to warm us up in this weather, it's a steaming hot bowl of Canadian poutine.
That's right, Spuds & Bros have made a triumphant return to Trinity Kitchen alongside four other new vendors.
Back by popular demand, Spuds & Bros are serving their iconic Canadian poutine to the city - think loaded fries drenched in melting cheese curds and smothered gravy.

Also making a welcome return with their authentic southern Thai street food, Tikk's Thai Kitchen is serving their freshly steamed bao buns with fillings such as crispy fried chicken with peanut satay sauce or sriracha mayo. The perfect lunchtime treat if you ask us.
Elsewhere on the top floor of Trinity, Shouk is serving fluffy pitas, squeaky halloumi and vibrant shawarmas for those looking to eat the rainbow over their lunch break.
And setting up shop in the food hall for one last time, Little Red Food Truck is making their signature gluten-free smash burgers as well as their mouthwatering fried chicken.

Lastly there's a new kid on the block, Pinaari, who are bringing their bold Indo-Mexican twist to the already star studded line-up.
Theo Jefferson-Brown, F&B Retail Manager at Trinity Leeds, said: “As the autumn chill sets in, we’ve carefully handpicked a line-up of great street food vendors serving the ultimate comfort food. From exciting new flavours to much-loved favourites, there’s something to tempt every palate.
"Whether you’re after a quick lunch to warm you up or a hearty dinner to share with friends and family, our collection of mouth-watering new dishes makes Trinity Kitchen the perfect stop this season.”
Matcha is well and truly taking Leeds (and the country) by storm.
You're probably bored of hearing us talk about matcha, and to be honest we're getting a little bit bored writing about it.
But, this time it's different.
This is M Plus Matcha, a brand-new matcha store that's just opened near Leeds University who not only serve your classic matcha lattes but also bucket loads of freshly-churned gelato.

And to make things even better, they've got four on offer all at different percentages to suit your taste.
Soft and grassy, smooth and creamy, full and velvety…or deep and bold (they said it, not us) - this spot is truly a matcha lover’s summer paradise.

If you're not sure what flavour you fancy, the lovely staff are on hand to help and can offer tasters of each percentage before you commit to a cone or a tub so you're not left disappointed.
The space is gorgeously light and airy, complete with matcha-coloured walls and plenty of matcha-coloured seating for you to perch and enjoy your treats.

Right opposite the Parkinson Building, we can see M Plus Matcha becoming a fantastic hub for students to whack their laptops out for a couple of hours whilst getting their caffeine fix.
The drinks menu includes iced matcha lattes, hot matcha, matcha lemonades and loads more. Basically, if you're of the opinion that matcha tastes like grass then we do not recommend you going.
But if you love it like us, then you're in for a treat.
