There's a bar in Leeds doing bottomless brunch with gyros and chips and we are absolutely obsessed.
Forget eggs benedict and pancakes, when you're getting a bit boozy there's nothing like some solid carbs to help you on your way. Something that Tavassolis know all too well, it seems.
The casual bar and grill in the centre of Leeds are doing a brilliant new bottomless brunch offer that might just be our new favourite in the city.

Here, for £30 you'll get 90 minutes of unlimited cocktails, beer or prosecco - plus one of their famous gyros and chips of your choice.
Gyro choices are good for veggies and vegans as well as meat-eaters, with options like halloumi and falafel sitting alongside the more traditional pork and chicken.
All served in the classic Greek fashion, tucked inside pitta bread with salad, tomato, red onion and fries included, you can choose your own sauces from a selection of tzatziki, bbq, garlic mayo or sriracha.

There's also a gluten-free option for those with extra dietary requirements.
Cocktail options, meanwhile, range from a Pink GnT (which is also available with lemonade) and a Mango Buck (made with mango vermouth and lemonade), to Woo Woos, Cuban Mules and a leath-sounding 'Pink Panther' cocktail made from passion fruit liqueur, Hoola hooch and Bruni gin.
It certainly sounds like a proper boozy affair. If you're not feeling the cocktails, though, you can always opt for beers like corona or budweiser, or go straight for a prosecco.
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
