Leeds was voted fifth best in the country for its variety of bottomless brunch.
According to a study from www.bottomlessbrunch.com, vegetarians aren't fed too badly when it comes to a boozy session with friends and family- but there are plenty of cities that do it better than us in all bottomless servings.
In first place, Sheffield received a whopping 76/110, followed by Manchester with a respectable score of 62/100- both of which are only an hour away from Leeds city centre by train.
Whilst there may be more of a variety out of town, that doesn't mean that Leeds' version of a veggie or vegan bottomless isn't full of stand-out favourites, delicious dishes and meat-free offerings that make even the most devout carnivore jealous.
Taking the top spot in Leeds is Issho, with a 50% of all bottomless options coming as a vegetarian serving. Expect authentic Japanese sushi, bao buns and delectable finger food with free-flowing Prosecco available every week from one of Leeds' most stunning rooftop bars: a must-try for anyone searching for a veggie-friendly experience.

Issho was closely followed by Taag: an Italian that offers three different bottomless brunches across the weekend. Starting with an Italian feast at their bottomless Friday night serving, dance to throwback tunes on Saturdays with bottomless vodka and classic dishes and tuck into a bottomless Sunday roast to finish off the week- there's plenty to choose from. If that's not enough, a solid 44.44% of their foodie portions are vegetarian too.
In third place, a bottomlessbrunch.com favourite, Cuckoo's bargain bottomless comes as a £20 deal with unlimited pizza slices and beer towers. The unique menu has a whopping 40% as vegetarian options and allows you to eat and drink with unlimited servings.
In joint third, The Adelphi offers the same 40% meat-free, whilst Neighbourhood's bottomless roast makes it on to the leaderboard in fifth place with still over a third of all menu items available as vegetarian-friendly dishes.

In pictures – Mexican restaurant Madre opens up in Leeds at last
Madre is one of those few restaurants that has been making us jealous of Manchester for years - but finally, it’s Leeds’ turn.
A couple of months after the launch of Salon Madre, a colourful pool hall and taqueria, it’s time for Leeds to welcome its sister restaurant.
Madre will open its doors on Wellington Place this week, promising to educate us all in the art of ‘sobremesa’, which means to linger at the table long after the meal is over.
And trust us, after popping in for a sneak peek today, you won’t be in a rush to leave this place.
The unit has been totally transformed by the Madre team - it’s all jagged angles on the tables and soft curves on the walls, with a colour palette that goes all the way from deep terracotta to neon green.
From an open kitchen you can see the team constructing tacos and piling oysters with jalapeño mignonette and salsa brava.
The menu is split neatly into four sections - snacks (elote, wings, Caesar salad and guac); raw (oysters, tuna tostadas, and aguachile); tacos (including birria); and parilla (wood-fired dishes like BBQ octopus and slow cooked lamb breast).

Pull up a seat at a tile-topped table and you can expect to dig into everything from rich Oaxacan-inspired moles and salsas to Baja-style mariscos and Sonoran grilled meats.
Pop down on a Tuesday and you can take advantage of Madre’s two-for-one taco deal - we can’t really think of a better evening than tucking into dinner at Madre before heading across the road for happy hour margs and a game of pool at Salon Madre.
Madre is brought to the city by the teams behind London’s famous Breddos Tacos and esteemed Liverpudlian eatery Belzan.
Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
