There's a Brazilian steakhouse in Leeds that's got an endless rotation of meat.
Think flavoursome prime cuts of meat, plus an all-you-can-eat salad bar with cold cuts of meat, a large range of fruit and veg, plentiful plates of pasta and more.
Suffice to say, we're a little bit obsessed with the idea.

Found inside The Light just off The Headrow, Estabulo restaurant in Leeds serves an unlimited table-side service of 8 cuts of meat for lunch and 15 cuts of meat for dinner, plus unlimited sides, gourmet salad bar and Brazilian hot buffet - all for a fixed price.
For lunchtime we're talking £24.95 (served 12-4pm), whilst for dinner you'll pay £34.95 (served 4-10pm) for all of your food, all-in, with drinks priced on top.
Children under the age of 4 can dine here for free, whilst those over 4 can have an all-you-can-eat experience for just £8.50.
Whilst you can help yourself to the salad bar, all the meat at the steakhouse is served fresh to you at your table straight off the grill: having already been skewered and cooked slowly over open flames.

You can eat as much, or as little, as you want, from a choice of eight cuts of beef, three cuts of pork, three of chicken, one lamb, as well as extras like pineapple, halloumi, and the crowd favourite: garlic bread.
The salad bar acts as a palate cleanser, a way to refresh between the meaty courses of skewers that arrive at your table from the Brazilian steakhouse grill - but you can really go to town if you choose, it really is worth a visit all on its own.

It's even open on Christmas Day in Leeds this year - serving a special festive menu of unlimited beef, pork, chicken and lamb cuts for £65 per person.
Putting a festive twist on their usual offerings, there's butternut squash risotto and rigatoni pasta for veggies, plus a Fisherman's basket of chunky fried cod, prawn twisters, charcoal prawns, red velvet prawns, squid rings and dusted calamari for the pescetarians out there.

Everything you need to know about the Leeds Christmas Markets 2026
Clementine Hall
Leeds Christmas Markets is returning to the city centre in just a weeks time, and we've got everything you need to know.
This year, the markets are looking a little bit different than before as outdoor events company Thor’s Tipi have stepped up as the all-new operators of this Christmastime spectacular.
They're organising a market where 'even if you’re not from Yorkshire, you’re going to leave being from Yorkshire'.
Although Leeds locals already know that Yorkshire is 'God's Own Country', the Leeds Christmas Markets team are making sure that the county is represented through its food, drinks and wider stalls.
So, let's get into it...

The main stalls and street food will be located at City Square, here you will also find the main Christmas tree and two THOR's bars.
Ice Cube at Millennium Square will also be making a return, here you'll find rides, an ice rink and more food and drink. This is separate to what is being run by THOR's this year, though.
There will be plenty of other festive activities taking place throughout the city throughout November and December, you can find out more and view the Leeds Christmas map here.
Food
Okay, now we can get onto the good stuff.
We all know that the highlight of the markets is the food, and this year there's going to be more independent and local trader than ever before.
