For those that want a bottomless brunch in a beautiful bar but with all the boozy bubbles of the local pub.
Those that have found themselves inside The Lost and Found Club on Albion Place (just off Briggate) will know just how beautiful the interior is.
Tucked away inside a Grade II listed Victorian building in the heart of the city centre, the entire building radiates a sophisticated but laidback ambience that's difficult to find on a Saturday in Leeds.
The cocktails menu will leave you feeling just that: there's a range of classics like Espresso Martinis and Aperol Spritz paired alongside craft beers, draught pints and seemingly unlimited sprits and mixers.
On the menu every Saturday is an unlimited drinking experience that'll leave you just tipsy enough to carry on an afternoon sesh, but not too drunk you need to end your weekend there.
On their carefully selected bottomless brunch menu is one of the most Instagrammable classics: a cocktail tree. For those with more than four participants, Aperol Spritz trees can be ordered as a round of drink- and they look even cuter in person.
Elsewhere on the menu, there's Prosecco, Bloody Marys and Mimosas for those that want a classic brunch beverage. To accompany the boozy experience, expect some tempting bites to eat.
There's brunch favourites like American-style pancakes with crispy bacon, bananas and miso caramel sauce or smashed avo with spinach benedict, as well as unique combinations of flavour like the Butler's mature cheddar rarebit with sliced honey roast ham and fried free-range egg, named Croque Madame.
We like the sound of the Cornflake Chicken with crispy chicken thighs, chipotle mayonnaise and jalapeños best though.
If these dishes aren't going to fill you enough for the two hour experience, you can also add sides like macaroni cheese and fries in three different varieties: seasoned and skinny, triple-cooked or topped with truffle and cheese.
Fans of the Greek Street location will be delighted to know that the bottomless brunch offer is just as exciting there too: same food, same drinks, different venue. Either location charge a flat rate of £29.95, plus £3.50 - £4.50 for additional sides.
The Lost and Found Brunch and Bottomless Bubbles menu is only available for those that book in advance on the Lost and Found website so make sure to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
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.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
