Whether you're celebrating the special occasion with your partner, friends or just looking for a night of self-love, there's every reason to celebrate with Estábulo Rodizio Bar and Grill's Valentine's Menu this month.
Estábulo has long been known as one of the city's most booked restaurants- and for good reason. The unlimited foodie options (and we do mean unlimited) brings diners a huge selection of Brazilian dishes into one gorgeous setting.
Intimate lighting, comfy booths and a wonderful selection of food and drink for everyone makes this one of the most romantic spots to head this Valentine's Day.

The concept here is simple.
Once you arrive and grab your glass of Prosecco, you have an endless selection of meats, salads and tasty treats to sample.
Fill your plate with just about the likes of chickpea salad, tortilla chips, slaw and even pork scratchings before heading to your seat and allow the servers to bring a seriously drool-worthy selection of meats to your table.
And then let this experience continue for as long as you're hungry. The food here is truly all-you-can-eat, so you can ask for as many helpings as you'd like - and yes, this includes both the meat and buffet offerings.

All you need to do is use your card to signal whether or not you're ready for your next helping. Green means go, bring on the meat and then once you'd like a break turn it over to red to signal a break.
There's also four different options available to suit those that have a busy schedule or alternative dietary requirements.
The lunch kicks off the day from midday until 3.45pm with a selection of eight different meat servings. Choose from Picanha, Cap of Rump or Bottom Sirloin beef steak slices or opt for delicious gammon, pork belly and pork sausages. Plus servings of minted lamb and chicken thighs too.

The dinner menu starts from 4pm and sees an additional seven meats added to the menu. We're talking Filet Mignon, Chili Beef, Beef Skirt, Chicken hearts or generous servings of chicken and bacon.
Pescatarians can take advantage of the Fisherman's Basket option. A delicious-sounding combination of fried chunky cod bites, prawn twisters, charcoal prawns, squid rings, dusted calamari and even red velvet prawns.
Naturally the all-you-can-eat meat options are enough to turn any carnivore's eyes, this certainly doesn't mean that the veggie offering isn't just as highly anticipated. Choose from butternut squash risotto or a dish of the popular Italian Rigatoni Giardiniera- plus all the salad bar offerings you could wish for.
And if all of this isn't enough to give you that wonderful full-belly feeling after stacking your plate, those opting for the Valentine's Menu will also get a dessert to share - because nothing says v-day without a sweet treat between two.

Otley is now bidding to become the UK’s first-ever Town of Culture in 2028
Otley has announced its intention to bid to become UK Town of Culture 2028.
Entering into the national competition launched by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), the West Yorkshire town is hoping to be the first-ever town to claim the title.
The Town of Culture competition invites towns across the UK to showcase their cultural story and develop ambitious programmes that celebrate local heritage, creativity, and communities.
The winning town receives a £3 million grant from the Government to deliver a major year-long cultural programme in 2028 designed to boost civic pride, attract visitors, and provide everyone with the opportunity to participate in cultural activities.
Their bid is focused around the Otley 800, a year-long programme that will mark the 800th anniversary of the granting of the Royal Market Charter in 1227 and the bridge over the River Wharfe in 1228.
These two historic moments transformed Otley into the bustling market town that it is today, so it deserves to be recognised.
Work has been going on behind the scenes for the past two years, with the council and Otley BID working with residents to put plans in place for the special year.
More than 70 organisations have been involved.
Mayor of Otley Cllr Paul Carter said: “Otley has always been a town that punches above its weight. This bid is about celebrating our history, but also about investing in our future — creating opportunities for our community, raising our profile and making sure Otley continues to thrive for the next 800 years.”
The shortlist for UK Town of Culture 2028 is set to be announced later this year, with each chosen town receiving £60,000 to help deliver their full bids for the competition. Fingers crossed!
Permission granted for new ‘Corn Exchange Pavilion’ to be built in Leeds city centre
Clementine Hall
The green light has been given for a brand-new pavilion to be built outside the Corn Exchange in Leeds city centre.
Yesterday, Tuesday 31 March, the planning committee of Leeds City Council officially gave the green light to plans submitted by CX Leeds Ltd.
These include plans to build a pavilion outside the Corn Exchange, one of Leeds' most iconic city centre landmarks.
The new building will go where that rather underwhelming patch of astroturf currently lays, in front of the Cornucopia mural and next to the bus shelter.
It lies between New Market Street and Crown Street.
DEN Architecture state that the materials selected will create an intriguing single-storey structure that compliments the surrounding area.
They stated: “The scale of the building and roof form of the proposal pays tribute to the previous tram and bus shelters that once occupied the site.
"While retaining the appropriately subservient nature of any new building in close proximity to the Corn Exchange. This will also provide greater visibility of the Cornucopia Mural.
“The building has been designed following extensive and thorough analysis, with a clear understanding of the built environment and the area’s historic significance.”
It's not yet been decided upon what the building's use will be, although Leeds city council suggests it could be used for "outdoor functions, shops and cafes".
When first put forward to the council back in December 2024, the plans were met with three objections from the public.
So, what would you like to see go into this new space?
