Vegans still want bottomless brunch- despite the limited options in Leeds.
Just because you're a vegan doesn't mean you should miss out on a bottomless brunch experience on the weekend. We all deserve to enjoy free flowing booze whilst indulging on some delicious food, right?
Whether you're just dipping your toes into the plant-based world or you're a longtime vegan looking for bottomless brunch options that include your dietary requirements (because it's surprising how many bottomlesses aren't vegan friendly), we've got you covered.
Here's our top bottomless brunches in Leeds with vegan options.

On one of the instagrammable bottomless brunch menus around, the vegan Fox Farm brekkie is the dish of dreams for anyone with a plant-based diet. Think Beetroot Falafel, hummus, fresh avocado, wilted spinach, sauteed mushrooms, braised beans, hash brown served with freshly baked sourdough. The ninety minute experience costs £34 per person and comes with one brunch dish of your choice and free-flowing Prosecco throughout.
Leeds newest bottomless brunch also comes with plenty of vegan options. Think sweetcorn ribs with red pepper, tomato and jalapeño salsa; carrot, shallot and butter bean salads with dill and toasted pumpkin seeds and a pulled BBQ jackfruit taco with sweetcorn relish, all washed down with unlimited porn star martinis and Long Island iced tea cocktails. Bottomless brunch is available every Saturday and Sunday between 2pm and 6pm, priced at £34.95 per head.
Running for 90 minutes, the bottomless offer at Cuckoo is priced at £20 for unlimited beer and prosecco but it can be upgraded to include cocktails like the Quackiri, raspberry Lynchburg and fruit punch for another £5. On the food menu, the vegan version of the 'Brunch at Cuckoo’ pizza, which comes loaded with vegan sausage,baked beans, mushrooms and red or brown sauce is on offer, or opt for the 'Alright Jack', made from pulled BBQ jackfruit, vegan cheese, gherkins and mustard.
Choose from either the Vegan Breakfast, consisting of Quorn sausage, grilled tomato, mushrooms, spiced black beans and spinach and served with toast or the Avocado Brunch: artisan sourdough toast topped with homemade guacamole, mango salsa and diced plum tomato, with a drizzle of olive oil and cracked black pepper at Revs de Cuba for a vegan bottomless. Plus, every last Sunday of the month, the bar and restaurant will welcome the soulful New Freedom Gospel group down for an afternoon of uplifting gospel tunes to serenade your boozy experience.
The most instagrammable bottomless brunch in Leeds does come with a vegan option and it sounds delicious. The #BreakfastBowl is a berry smoothie bowl with banana, nutty granola, Soy yoghurt and Chia seeds is picture perfect, and nutritious too. Available as a bottomless with cocktails, mocktails or Prosecco (each priced differently), the boozy brunch offer stretches across most of the day, broken into two sessions: the first running from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm, the second from 4 – 8 pm.
Mans Market is the only place to go for a Chinese with a difference in Leeds and luckily, vegans can enjoy their bottomless too. The Brunch Box included in the deal comes with a choice of black bean and pepper dishes, one of which is tofu based. Although vegans will have to skip the Dim Sum sharers, it'll only give you more time to down the bottomless fizz or bottles of house lager in your two hour sitting. Plus, you can upgrade to bottomless bellinis and cocktails if you're feeling left out for £5 or £10 respectively.
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.
