For those that want a bottomless brunch in a beautiful bar but with all the boozy bubbles of the local pub.
Those that have found themselves inside The Lost and Found Club on Albion Place (just off Briggate) will know just how beautiful the interior is.
Tucked away inside a Grade II listed Victorian building in the heart of the city centre, the entire building radiates a sophisticated but laidback ambience that's difficult to find on a Saturday in Leeds.
The cocktails menu will leave you feeling just that: there's a range of classics like Espresso Martinis and Aperol Spritz paired alongside craft beers, draught pints and seemingly unlimited sprits and mixers.
On the menu every Saturday is an unlimited drinking experience that'll leave you just tipsy enough to carry on an afternoon sesh, but not too drunk you need to end your weekend there.
On their carefully selected bottomless brunch menu is one of the most Instagrammable classics: a cocktail tree. For those with more than four participants, Aperol Spritz trees can be ordered as a round of drink- and they look even cuter in person.
Elsewhere on the menu, there's Prosecco, Bloody Marys and Mimosas for those that want a classic brunch beverage. To accompany the boozy experience, expect some tempting bites to eat.
There's brunch favourites like American-style pancakes with crispy bacon, bananas and miso caramel sauce or smashed avo with spinach benedict, as well as unique combinations of flavour like the Butler's mature cheddar rarebit with sliced honey roast ham and fried free-range egg, named Croque Madame.
We like the sound of the Cornflake Chicken with crispy chicken thighs, chipotle mayonnaise and jalapeños best though.
If these dishes aren't going to fill you enough for the two hour experience, you can also add sides like macaroni cheese and fries in three different varieties: seasoned and skinny, triple-cooked or topped with truffle and cheese.
Fans of the Greek Street location will be delighted to know that the bottomless brunch offer is just as exciting there too: same food, same drinks, different venue. Either location charge a flat rate of £29.95, plus £3.50 - £4.50 for additional sides.
The Lost and Found Brunch and Bottomless Bubbles menu is only available for those that book in advance on the Lost and Found website so make sure to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
Independent Leeds coffee shop crowned one of the UK’s best for 2026
Clementine Hall
A list of the UK's best independent coffee shops for 2026 has been released, and one in Leeds has come up trumps.
The coffee shop in question may come as no surprise to some of you, as some would say that after 15 years in the city it's become somewhat of an institution.
Of course it's none other than Laynes.
Founded in 2011 by Dave Olejnik, Laynes began life on New Station Street and quickly became one of the first venues in Leeds to focus on carefully sourced and roasted coffee beans, helping lead the way for the city's now-thriving independent coffee scene.

It's a proper Leeds staple at this point, sat proudly with its glowing yellow exterior and queues out the door full of punters looking for their morning caffeine fix.
But it's not just us who think it's flipping fantastic, as a new study has revealed the top 10 most popular independent coffee shops in the country and Laynes comes in at a very respectable number 8.
The list, made by Capital on Tap, analysed coffee across the UK looking at Google reviews, monthly searches and social media success.
Laynes was in some pretty good company including Idle Hands in Manchester and Kaf Coffee in Glasgow. But most importantly, none of the top 10 were in London - make of that what you will.
The top 10 most popular independent coffee shops for 2026:
Neighbourhood Café, Belfast
Colonna & Small’s, Bath
Established Coffee, Belfast
Hard Lines Coffee, Cardiff
Rough Handmade, Liverpool
Idle Hands Coffee, Manchester
Full Court Press, Bristol
Laynes Espresso, Leeds
Kaf Coffee, Glasgow
Dom’s Coffee, Cambridge
Bravo Laynes, a well earned accolade for one of our favourite spots in the city.
