Eat Your Greens is serving up no fuss farm to fork goodness in the heart of the city centre.
Tucked away on the corner of New York street just behind Kirkgate Market, you will find Eat Your Greens.
A beautiful organic casual restaurant and natural wine bar, known for its plant-focused dishes, light-drenched interiors and friendly service.
They've been paving the way for laid back, cool dining in Leeds for the past few years - and it's easy to see why.

They use the very best, local produce wherever possible to create a seasonally changing menu that focuses on no fuss farm to fork goodness.
Why? Because it's good for the planet, good for you and good for the farmers that grow it.
And it's the perfect spot for any occasion too. Stop by for lunch to enjoy a fish finger sarnie or their eggs of the week with a coffee, or enjoy a dinner amongst friends with their evening menu made for sharing whilst sampling their impressive selection of natural wine.

Whatever it is you find yourself at Eat Your Greens for, we can assure you that you'll have a cracking time.
As the sun goes down they host regular events with resident DJ's and they've got a great selection of board games if you fancy a quieter evening with friends.
They even have their very own 'Greens Grocers' where they stock everything from locally baked bread, artisan tinned fish, chilli oil, cured meats, and bundles of fresh organic groceries so you can take a taste of Eat Your Greens home with you.

It's unlike any place you'll find in the city centre, not only serving fantastic food but food with a conscience.
Their recipe to success is simple - great ingredients, fabulous natural wines and really lovely talented people.
So if you haven't stopped by yet, then we urge you to Eat Your Greens now.

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.Â

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.
