This new cafe-bar-club in Leeds is serving charcuterie jars

All your favourite cheeses, deli meats, dried fruit and more: all served in an Instagrammable charcuterie jar.

Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 16th December 2021

Inspired by faraway travels, with a menu that fuses fine dining and winter warmers, Canal Club is the latest food and drink hotspot to open by Granary Wharf.

Charcuterie boards are one of the best year-round sharing boards, but a diet of cheese, meat and wine is one of the best parts of summer.

If you can't wait until the official festive period to pull out the cheese board and snack on a variety of fine pairings, Canal Club's new menu will sort you out.

Found on a huge twelve page menu, hidden amongst a selection of other nibbles are Charcuterie Jars: a selection of deli meats and cheeses, served (you guessed it) in a small jar- perfect for snacking on.

We reckon this will be one of those exciting treats you don't discover properly until you're next night out and you're verging on 'hangry', and will then become a staple in your going 'out out' routine.

That said, Canal Club is open day and night to serve up your cheese and meat needs, as well as plenty of other delicious snacks, inspired by a fusion of faraway places, and is sure to become a daytime favourite for many too.

Other nibbles include Chilli and Lime Popcorn and Marinated Olives, but there are plenty of fresh main courses to enjoy too like the Hoisin and Honey Chipolatas, Sweet Potato Crostini and BBQ Glazed Tiger Prawns.

Guests can also tuck into world tapas dishes and light bites like Beet Hummus Toast, sliders, salt and pepper squid and sweet potato crostini, day and night.

The exotic, tropical flair on the menu and featured in just about every corner of Canal Club is designed to transport guests straight to a Havana-style club night that’s perfect to grab a few photos for the ‘gram, let your hair down and party like you’re under the tropical heat of the Caribbean.

Of course, a new cafe-bar-club concept couldn’t open in Leeds without a bottomless brunch option, and we can't wait to see the full menu.

Having only opened in December, Canal Club will has already confirmed its place on the Leeds food and drink scene, but we can't wait to see how the cafe-bar-club presents itself in 2022 when it's concept is complete.

Miniature tiramisu drawers have landed in Leeds

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.

It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.

Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.

Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.

And now they’re branching out again in Leeds inside Trinity shopping centre for a two month residency.

You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.

Misu Tiramisu owners Aleem and Aishah spent a year refining the recipe for their tiramisus after a trip to Milan, first launching with their first market stall in Sale.

Misu Tiramisu is now open inside Trinity shopping centre opposite Boots Opticians and Pop Specs.

They're open every day of the week for you to get your tiramisu fix, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on a Sunday.

And trust us Leeds, they're just as delicious as they are adorable.
