The best burgers of Leeds- now that's a pretty big claim to make.

These are some of our favourite places to grab a burger, be it veggie, chicken, pork or beef filled.
Keep reading to find out our top 16 burgers, and how you can recommend your favourite burger spot for us to sample...

Hoot recommends: Classic beef burger
Burgerism keep it simple with single or double patties with cheese - but you'll still taste a rainbow of flavours in every bite. These burgers remind us of that cheeseburger in The Menu where you can see the tastiness of 'a simple cheeseburger' in both Julian and Margot's eyes as the movie comes to its dramatic crescendo.
Good Boy Burger Co.
Leeds Kirkgate Market
Hoot recommends: The Cauli Schnitzel or The Good Boy With Cheese
Good Boy Burger Co. is that familiar face that you look for at a festival. Spotted at Live at Leeds Fest and Peddler Market as well as a permanent spot in Kirkgate Market, we keep going back for the melt-in-your-mouth short rib smash patties and 'organic wherever possible' ethos.

The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.
It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.
Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.
Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.
And now they’re branching out again in Leeds inside Trinity shopping centre for a two month residency.
You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.
