Christmas has well and truly arrived in Leeds and this bottomless brunch is just the thing to get you in the festive spirit.
Manahatta have just launched a bottomless brunch just in time for Christmas and all your festive favourites on the menu, as well as some classic Manahatta dishes.
Served every day until 4pm, enjoy unlimited drinks whilst tucking into the taste of December 25th.
The Christmas Burger is an entire dinner in one.
A tasty pork and bacon burger with chestnut sage stuffing is paired with apple and cranberry chutney, Monterey Jack cheese and served with skin-on fries, an onion ring and the ultimate festive treat: a pig in blanket.

For a lighter alternative, try the Christmas Bagel: spicy crisp coated chicken, pancetta, brie, pig in a blanket, cranberry and apple chutney and mayo, all stuffed inside a toasted bagel and served with skin-on fries.
The Xmas Hash sounds like a particular delight. A delicious concoction of sweet potato, pulled turkey with sage and onion, pigs and blankets and spinach all topped with two fried eggs.
If you're not quite ready to put Mariah on and decorate your tree, there are still plenty of seasonal, but not overly Christmassy dishes for you to choose from.
Vegans needn't miss out on this fantastic offer as their Greenmarket Warm Pretzel features halloumi, tomato and a fresh avocado salsa.
The bottomless drink options are just as vast and utterly delicious.
Unlimited cocktails, prosecco and lager? Count us in. / Image: Manahatta
Think unlimited prosecco, bloody mary cocktails, pints of Coors beer, as well as a range of festive cocktails that are yet to be named.
If you're the driver or don't fancy getting boozy: Manahatta really is catering for everyone. Choose either lychee crush or passionfruit and ginger spritz mocktails, or both: you'll have plenty of time to get them down.
Available at £39.95 and an extra £5 for some of the premium 'uptown options', you're in for a real treat.

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."
