Enjoy delicious cocktails with a twist and South East Asian-inspired street food at Bar Soba on Greek Street.
Of course we all love a Bottomless Brunch, 90 minutes of free flowing prosecco and mouth watering food, what's not to like? But for those of us working a 9-5 on the weekends, we can sometimes miss out on those epic deals.
Well do not fear, as Bar Soba not only host an incredible Bottomless Brunch but they also host a Bottomless Supper too, what a winner.

Bottomless Brunch takes place Friday - Sunday from 12 - 4pm whilst Bottomless Supper kicks off Monday - Thursday from 4 - 9pm. Your booking includes 90 minutes of unlimited booze plus your choice of food from a fresh and exciting menu, all for just £35 per person.
For brunch choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol spritz or melonball and zombie punch cocktails. You can choose one main dish to devour from their brunch menu, including the beloved Chicken Katsu Curry, Thai favourite Pad Thai or the Indonesian staple Nasi Goreng if you're craving something spicy.

Although this will most definitely be enough food, we can't help but mention some of the tongue tantalising sides on offer. The Super Thai Fries smothered in satay sauce, sriracha and soba mayo all topped off with crispy onions and crushed peanuts sound so good that you'll have to order them for the table to share. Other sides include Okra tempura, shrimp crackers and wok fried asian greens in garlic and ginger.
The dessert which we have our eye on is the Japanese doughnut, coated in chilli sugar and served with mango sorbet and a fruit compote. The sides and desserts aren't included in the deal but can be added as an extra for a small price.
The Bottomless Supper includes a choice of two dishes from a small plate menu and is perfect for those who want to try a bit of everything and mix and match. Dishes include Cheeseburger Spring rolls, Duck or Vegetable Gyozas and Mini Teriyaki Beef Noodles. For booze choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol Spritz and a selection of their fun and innovative cocktails.

One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
