If you're a fan of an all-you-can-eat buffet, then this new opening is the one for you.
Get ready to channel your inner 'Man V. Food' because an exciting new dining concept called La Fiesta is heading to the heart of Leeds this summer, with a new ‘all you can eat’ experience inspired by the rich flavours of the Mediterranean.
Located on Merrion Way in the Merrion Centre, La Fiesta promises to immerse diners in the culinary traditions of Spain, Italy, Turkey, and Greece.

Now that's a lot of cuisines under one roof.
This is the brand’s second venue in Yorkshire following the huge success of La Fiesta in Doncaster, where the original concept was launched in 2015 by hospitality entrepreneur Masud Rana.
Set across approximately 3,000 sq ft and seating up to 100 guests, diners will begin their experience at a central salad bar with a choice of antipasti-style favourites, including classic Pinchos, Italian and Spanish cheeses, charcuterie, artisan breads, and Mediterranean-inspired salads.

Tapas is then made fresh to order and served to the table in waves throughout the meal where guests can order an initial three tapas dishes followed by two choices at a time.
A dedicated churros station complete with a flowing chocolate fountain offers a sweet ending to the dining experience.
One thing's for sure, you won't be leaving hungry.
Speaking about the new Leeds restaurant, La Fiesta director, Masud Rana, said: “La Fiesta is about more than just food, it’s about delivering an experience. We’ve taken everything that guests love about La Fiesta in Doncaster and added more detail, more flavour, and more theatre.
"Our aim is to bring something truly unique to the city with a place offering casual dining at its best and where couples, families, and friends can come together to enjoy fresh Mediterranean food in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We can’t wait to open our doors and for the people of Leeds to try the La Fiesta experience for themselves.”

An award-winning burger chain is expanding and opening in Leeds city centre.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties, funky branding, 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 opened their first Leeds site in Meanwood just last month, and now they'll be opening a takeaway in the city centre on the bustling Boar Lane.
Just moments away from Call Lane, you just know there'll be plenty of punters popping in after a couple beers and we don't blame them, as we'll be doing the exact same.
Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.
We don't know the exact opening date just yet, but we do know that it's taking over the old Gyros Greek Food spot.
We will of course keep you updated as and when we find out more.
Coincidentally, it will be opening right across from another new burger restaurants named Urban Fresh Burgers. Did someone say...battle of the burgers?
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is coming to Leeds
Clementine Hall
Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.
Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.
We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.
And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.
We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.
The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.
The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.
Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.
"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"
Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.
Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.
We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.
