Fleur Cafe is the first to call itself the most Instagrammable spot in Leeds, proudly stating on its website that it is the "most Instagram-friendly cafe restaurant" in the city.
As the name suggests, the theme here is floral - and they have gone all out on the aesthetic. Think cascading wisteria draping down from every spare corner of the ceiling, which is also covered in 10,000 pink and purple butterflies.
It's also just as lush from the outside, with pink signs draped in more pink and purple flowers and flanked by large green areca palms, ferns and peace lilies.
Add in hanging spotlights hidden amongst the flowers and luminous pink neons declaring their own hashtags like #BrunchatFleurs and #FleurCafe and you've got yourself a proper Insta trap if ever we saw one.
But whilst we're quite taken with the decor, we also want to talk about the brunch offering - which features the likes of wagyu pretzel bun burgers, baked coconut pancakes, spaghetti pasta and harissa chicken depending on what time you take yourself down.
The boozy brunch offer stretches across most of the day, broken into two sessions: the first running from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm, the second from 4 - 8 pm.
Available to enjoy with unlimited prosecco for £27.95 a head, if you head down for the morning you'll be treated to all the classic breakfast favourites: smash avocado toast, masala baked beans, shakshuka, french toast, pancakes or a breakfast bowl plus your choice of side.
Whilst the breakfast mains sounds pretty wholesome, it gets a bit naughtier when you look at the side options - which include the likes of cheesy chips, cauliflower cheese, 'drooling' fries and macaroni and cheese. That's our two personalities on one menu right there.
As for evening options, the aforementioned wagyu pretzel bun burger definitely catches our eye - but if that's not up your street there's plenty more to choose from too.
Think grilled beef short ribs, skewered kebabs, foccacia sandwiches, cauliflower and chickpea curry, Dubai beef biriyani and a harissa chicken pretzel burger. It's quite the feast, once again priced at £27.95 for unlimited prosecco - or £24.95 if you'd like to sample their bottomless mocktail offering instead.
Often, mocktails can be quite unimaginative - but not here at Fleur cafe. Alongside your standard virgin mojitos and pina coladas, you'll also find a raspberry sherbert drink made with additional elderflower, lime, grapefruit soda, a honey and mint concoction, and a tempting-sounding fruit punch thrown into the mix.
Available Monday to Sunday, with the bottomless evening offer extended to 9 pm on Saturdays, there's never a bad time to visit Fleur Cafe.

Major DJ has set cancelled as overcrowding concerns continue at Leeds Festival
Clementine Hall
After closing for the entire second day, The Warehouse stage at Leeds Festival has once again been forced to evacuate.
One of the most anticipated dance acts of the day has been cancelled due to health and safety concerns just moments before the set.
Sheffield DJ Silva Bumpa was due to take to The Warehouse stage today at 1:30pm, but the set was cancelled due to overcrowding.
It's not the first time this has happened at Leeds Festival 2026, as yesterday Omar+'s set was cancelled due to the same issue and the stage was subsequently closed for the rest of the day.
The Warehouse stage is completely new for this year, and supposedly is designed specifically for dance music...which is quite ironic.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Silva Bumpa said: "So so sorry Leeds Fest but due to over crowding my set was cancelled last min I was just behind the stage and got told right before such a massive shame."
Prospa, another prominent DJ who's set was cancelled at Reading on Friday afternoon, spoke up on the situation: "We are disappointed in The Warehouse stage closure at Reading Festival. We were told it wasn't possible to play whilst on the way. This was due to too many people outside the stage.
"We have seen this happen before at larger festivals in the UK. It's time to double the capacity of tents or put dance music on the main stage."
It comes after another dance stage, LS23, was closed mid-set last night due to a health and safety hazard when all the lights suddenly switched off and ravers were forced to evacuate.
If yesterday is anything to go by, we wouldn't be surprised if The Warehouse was closed for the rest of the day which means anticipated sets from Rossi and Mall Grab will also be cancelled.
