Issho, Cuckoo and Taag voted as best bottomless brunch in Leeds for vegetarians

50% of all Issho's bottomless brunch options are vegan and vegetarian.

Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 17th May 2022

It's National Vegetarian Week.

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.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.

We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.

They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.

And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.

And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.

It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.

Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.

"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.

We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.

Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

Inside the modern Japanese grill coming to Leeds from the team behind Fern Modern Sushi

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

We've been very excited about this one.

If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.

Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.

And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.

Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.

All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.

The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.

There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.

Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
