One of Leeds' most beautiful brunch spots is bringing a bottomless experience to the table.
The bottomless option has been brought in after years of customer requests, and their debut offering certainly won't disappoint.
The very first FINT bottomless brunch can be sampled over the Jubilee bank holiday weekend, so there's no stress of next-day headaches to
On the menu there's bottomless cava, mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, coffee negronis or drinks from Saltaire’s Brewery alongside any brunch dish from the new spring menu.
In true nordic style, the menu is bursting with natural ingredients and flavours aplenty. Choose from mouthwatering Smørrebrød (open sarnies) with salmon gravlax, smoked chicken, or tofu on toasted coriander on seed bread, with seed cream, onion jam, rocket, sliced new potato, capers.
The crumpet benedict, a customer favourite of local bacon or vegan sausage with two poached Burford Brown eggs and hollandaise will make a feature alongside heartier dishes like spring stalk gnocchi: a plate of pan toasted gnocchi with carrot salad, yellow pea puree, cavolo nero and a choice of either trout or tofu.
Simon Hawkins, Head Chef and Owner, said:“For years we’ve been asked if we do a bottomless brunch. As we’ve got a four day weekend coming up for the Jubilee, we thought what better time to join the bottomless brunch party!

"We’ve got so much to offer and what better time to try our new Nordic take on an English breakfast. With the option of gluten free crumpets on our crumpet benedicts and a vegan hollandaise that’s hard to tell apart from the regular one, there is something for you and your friends as you raise a mimosa, coffee negroni, or other party drink to celebrate Her Majesty or just to celebrate spending time with your nearest and dearest!”
FINT's new bottomless brunch launches Thursday 2 June 2022 with tickets costing £34.95 per for a ninety-minute sitting.

A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop
Clementine Hall
Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.
It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.
Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.
For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.
Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.
But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.
We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.
This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.
All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
