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.
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.
