This time, Belgrave has picked up on our keen attempts at Veganuary and are hosting a vegan feast for all- and have found the finest vegan chefs around to serve up.
Here's what to expect this Saturday at the Music Hall and Canteen.
Dough Boys are always there when we need them most- often at 11pm after too many pints and not enough food. Grab pizza by the slice this veganuary and test out delicious combinations like What's the Quack? - a vegan duck pizza, and more.
There will also be a Dough Babies session during the vegan feast so that all the family can get involved in the cooking process.
The company shared heartwarming images from their previous Dough Babies session, stating that Dough Babies is "a free drop-in class for little 'uns to get really creative with their pizza toppings! They can absolutely choose whatever crazy combination they like from the selection available, we'll then finish them off in the oven before they can eat/take home for tea".

Little chefs are invited to head over to Belgrave between 11am and 12pm. There's no need to book in advance, just turn up and create some tasty pizzas just in time for lunch.
The Spicy Biker will be on hand to serve authentic Indian cuisine. Inspired by their mother's kitchen with a spicy biker twist, expect everything from bhaji boxes to curries, chaat bombs and samosa.
The talent behind Kuala Lumpur Cafe in Headingley will be sharing a culinary trip to Malaysia that's a feast for all the senses. With their signature dish Nasi Lemak featured on Masterchef and a published cookbook from their head chef, Norman Musa- expect flavours aplenty.
Baking hot vegan treats, Black Day Bakes is the baker behind cafe favourites like biscoff s'mores brookies at Fika North and more. Expect lineup bigger than Leeds fest from Crystal Black who runs everything from the baking to the social media. We're thinking brownies, cakes and cookies- but the baker hasn't announced the selection available on the day just yet.
Burgers from Patty Smith

The Leafeater (pictured above) is just one of the burgers that Patty Smith's have chosen to create after choosing to go vegan for January 2022. Available every day from Belgrave, we all know and love Patty's menu or delicious burgers and huge fries platters but this weekend, but their vegan menu is set to offer a taste of plant-based goodness at the vegan feast this week too.
For the rest of the afternoon, guests can take advantage of free arts, crafts and soft play upstairs in the Snug 11am - 4pm on Saturday 8 January 2022.

Cult burger brand Burgerism opens takeaway outside of Manchester in a Leeds suburb
The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon

An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
