Whether you're partaking in Veganuary or just overdid the meat over Christmas and want a few plant-based meals to balance it all out: the Manahatta January menu is full of delicious vegan treats.
Known as one of Leeds' finest cocktail bars, the lavish Greek Street bar is well accustomed with providing customers with the finer things in life: food and drink included. So given Veganuary is just around the corner, the company have decided to take their menu to the next level and include additional plant-based meals for all to enjoy.
From Tuesday 4 January 2022, the Manahatta menu will feature the industry leading Beyond burger: fully loaded with Oumph! vegan protein, plant-based cheese and chipotle mayonnaise.
This decadent dish can still be enjoyed guilt-free as Beyond prides themselves on producing healthy meat substitutes that are free from soy, GMOs, hybrid foods, and refined sugar.
Manahatta’s BBQ nachos can also be devoured knowing that they are making a limited climate impact.
Topped with Oumph! vegan protein, one of the most sustainable meat substitutes out there, these nachos are topped with vegan cheese, spicy jalapenos and zesty salsa- delicious and good for the planet.

These exceptional dishes are available alongside the classic vegan All American hot dog, which has been a staple at Manahatta for quite some time- it always makes an appearance on the bottomless brunch menu.
These meals are good for you and the earth, making Manahatta the ideal spot to tuck into a January meal out- especially as the bar will be offering 50% off all food throughout the month.
The half price deal will only apply during specific periods and does not include Saturday bookings, so make sure to reserve a seat at the table in advance to guarantee 50% off your Veganuary feast.
You'll also find the glamourous New York Inspired cocktail bar on Merrion Street and in Headingley, where the same delicious offers apply. Other venues include Manchester, Birmingham, York and Harrogate.
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
