A new burger restaurant has opened inside Leeds Trinity selling everything from classic arancini to fusion burgers filled with ice cream, calzone and pizza.
Yes, a calzone in a burger is now officially on the menu in Leeds thanks to this brand new arrival.
Called Burgamore, its fusion burger menu combines some of Italy's most drool-worthy flavours with a range of different patties and buns to create something truly unique.

Classic Italian street food favourites include their 'pavarotti'; a mini nduja calzone served with homemade tomato and oregano sauce, the 'caponata'; a classic, tangy and sweet Sicilian dish of aubergine, carrots, celery, white onion, tomatoes, olives, raisins, pinenuts and red wine vinegar.
But there are also some weird and wonderful fusion burger creations to be uncovered here, including a calzone burger and an 'ice cream' burger, the latter comprised of brioche bun topped with gelato of your choice and garnished with chocolate callets and sauce, toasted walnuts and sprinkles.

On top of this, you'll find 'spicy pizza fries' loaded with pomodoro sauce, three cheeses, crispy bacon, jalapenos, red wine mayo and mint lemon sauce, and a folded flatbread 'pizza burger' topped with a patty of your choice, lemon ricotta, baby gem, radicchio, pickled red onion and shaving cheese.
For hardcore burger fans, there's a more than.decent selection of adventurous flavour combinations: ranging from a vegan Moving Mountains chilli burger to the signature Burgamore burger, made with crispy pancetta, honey apple compote, grilled stem brocolli and red wine mayonaisse.
And what's more, a fair bit of the menu is also vegan - meaning there really is something for everyone here.
Newly opened inside Trinity, you can find Burgamore next to Yo Sushi.
One of Leeds' most iconic brands is expanding with two city centre openings.
Coffee lovers, you're going to love this one.
North Star Coffee Roasters are one of the early pioneers of specialty coffee in the North of England and among the UK’s first B Corp-certified coffee roasters.
They've been keeping the people of Leeds awake since 2013, and you'll find their coffee across the country as well as at their current city centre locations.
One of their brand-new locations inside the Victoria Quarter will be opening next Monday 1 June.
Their new kiosk will be located outside Jo Malone London and marks the brand’s third site in Leeds.

To celebrate the launch, North Star will be giving away 50 free coffees a day from Tuesday 2 June until Friday 5 June - a total of 200 free drinks across the opening week. Customers will be able to claim any coffee from the menu, with one free drink per person available on a first come, first served basis, each day.
Their other new site is expected to be on Great George Street, and we'll keep you updated with any news on that one as and when we know more.
Speaking about the opening, Holly Kragiopoulos, Co-founder of North Star, said: “Opening a third site in the centre of Leeds feels incredibly special for us. Leeds has always been at the heart of North Star, so being able to bring our coffee into Victoria Quarter is a huge milestone.
"We wanted to celebrate by giving something back to the city and welcoming both loyal regulars and new customers with free coffee throughout our opening week.”
Thor’s Tipi chosen as the new operator to create a ‘distinctly Yorkshire’ Leeds Christmas Market 2026
Clementine Hall
Leeds City Council has appointed Thor's tipi as the new operator of Leeds Christmas Market 2026 on City Square.
We hate to mention the C word in May... especially in the midst of a heatwave, but just bare with us on this one.
The beloved Leeds Christmas Market will have a new operator this year, as creators of pop-up seasonal bars Thor's Tipi have been given the responsibility by Leeds City Council.
So, what's going to be different?
Thor's tipi will create a ‘distinctly Yorkshire’ retail, craft and food market which celebrates Leeds identity.

The market will feature a Yorkshire based line-up, full of popular local names and Leeds street food legends and a series of cabins will also be reserved for local craft businesses and emerging artisans.
Alongside plenty of shopping and eating options, the Christmas Market will become a full-on-festive experience for visitors. There will be winter games and karaoke huts in an Alpine Lodge, the original THOR’S tipi - complete with its signature firepit seating area, free live music from local artists, school choirs & community performances throughout the season.
There will also be a host of family-friendly events, including a ‘Leeds Night Before Christmas’ trail, family raves and free craft tables.

Amanda Monaghan, Director of THOR’S tipi, said: "This is our eleventh year in Leeds and we’re super excited to bring the most beautiful Christmas Market to City Square! We’re especially looking forward to speaking with local traders about how we can showcase their talents. Get in touch if you’d like to be involved! We’d love to have you on-board.”
Councillor Salma Arif, Leeds City Council's executive member for economy, said: "We're delighted that Leeds will be welcoming a Christmas market again this year with a new look and that visitors will once again have the chance to experience the wonders of the festive season at the heart of the city centre.”
“As always, the council is committed to working with partners and providers to bring high quality and exciting events to the city. We know Christmas is always a special time in Leeds, and this year is set to be a memorable one."
