Leeds might be inundated with bottomless brunches, but how many can you grab on a Monday lunchtime?
For everyone that works a Sunday, doesn't conform to the usual 9-5 or simply likes to celebrate without the Saturday rush, there's no reason that you should be excluded from bottomless brunch experiences.
Lucky for you, we’ve found one that’s available every single day of the week.
Available from 12-4pm on weekdays and a slightly earlier time of 11am-2pm on weekends, Revolución de Cuba’s Latin-inspired bottomless brunch promises 90 minutes of endless strawberry daiquiris, pints of Mahou and free-flowing fizz alongside a dish of your choice from just £35.

Choose from Latin classics like the breakfast burrito, which come loaded with smoky sausage, bacon, omelette, chorizo, mozzarella and spicy tomato sauce, or opt for a chorizo hash with crispy patatas, chorizo, peppers and Manchego cheese sauce.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a Cubano Benedict - putting a Latin twist on the poached egg and hollandaise brunch classic with added light and zingy mustard spread, pulled pork and a sprinkling of sweet, smoky paprika - and veggie-friendly sweetcorn fritters, served with homemade guacamole, mango and chilli dressing and topped with a fried egg.

Those after something a little more traditional, meanwhile, can tuck into a full grilled English: served as a meaty, veggie or vegan offering. Think Quorn or pork sausages with grilled tomatoes, buttery toast and 'perfectly served' eggs amongst other traditional breakfast favourites.
To wash down the brunch servings, the selection of bottomless booze spans far further than pints and fizz. Expect the likes of Aperol Spritz, Disaronno fizz, Mimosas, Spanish Shandys and Bloody Marys to transform your regular Revs de Cuba brunch into a ninety-minutes bottomless experience that brings the best of Latin America right to your table.

There's even the option to upgrade the menu and take advantage of show-stopper drinks that celebrate all things rum.
For an extra £10, guests can taste signature rum serves like Plantation 3 stars served with Fever-tree white grape and apricot soda; Havana club anejo especial served with Red bull or the Appleton estate signature served with Old Jamaican ginger beer, amongst other specialities.

The standout here though is the option for bottomless pornstar 'rumtinis'. But if these boozy rum options aren't enough to convince you, the upgraded bottomless also comes with an expanded menu choice where even some of the sauces feature Rev de Cuba's favourite spirit.
Perfect for later bottomless brunch sittings, the £45 bottomless experience includes all burgers, burritos or burrito bowls off the main menu.

There's meaty favourites like beef burgers topped with smoky pulled beef, Manchego cheese sauce, crispy onions and pickles and served with fries and rum mayo, Chimichurri chicken burritos with Swiss cheese, mustard and pickled onions in toasted Cuban bread, as well asveggie and vegan options aplenty to choose from.
Each guest can enjoy one brunch dish each, but for those who really want to get stuck in to the food you can also opt for sides and extras. Think cheesy Cuban fries, cajun creamy fries or sweet potato fries, plus extra mushrooms, homemade guacamole, halloumi and more starting from just £1 apiece.

Last week, curious shoppers noticed the three-storey store was suddenly empty and now the company have confirmed that they have closed for good.
In a statement, they said: "After nearly 6 wonderful years trading in Leeds, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our physical store while we restructure the business and explore the next chapter for North Home.
"Retail has changed significantly in recent years and, like many independent businesses, we’ve faced increasing costs.

"Taking this step now gives us the opportunity to protect what we’ve built and focus on the future of the brand. North Home continues to operate online and all existing customer orders will be fulfilled as normal although delivery times may be slightly extended.
"We’ve loved being part of the Leeds retail community since 2020 and are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received. We hope to share more about our plans soon."
We'll be sad to see them go and we hope this isn't goodbye forever, but you can still shop from North Home online here.
Neighbourhood Leeds bistro hailed as ‘a bit horny’ and ‘brilliant’ by national critic Camilla Long
Clementine Hall
Food critic Camilla Long visited Leeds for her latest review for The Times with her sights set on Horsforth's finest - Bavette Bistro.
Ever since opening back in 2024, Bavette Bistro nestled in the leafy suburb of Horsforth has made waves across the country for its sheer brilliance.
It's pretty much received five star reviews across the board and been handed awards from left, right and centre. And rightly so.
The Good Food Guide crowned Bavette the best local restaurant of 2024, and Michelin handed them a well deserved Bib Gourmand - so it's safe to say it's not just us who think it's really something special.
So it was only a matter of time until The Times popped in for a review, and this one is truly glowing.

The review labels Bavette as "warm, unmannered and unpretentious" as well as "authentically French".
Long describes the food as "gorgeous, confident, surprising" with a menu that "isn’t too long" and "filled with sturdy, noble dishes, whiffing mightily of the sea and the soil."
It continues: "All of it made with generosity and cheer, served fast by nimble waiters, with a long, if slightly eccentric, wine list. To bang out French dishes with this much fiddly detail and to do it to a full room is not easy. Yet all four courses came in under two hours, for about £75 a head, which in London terms is nothing.
"It’s not that this place was perfect, it’s that it was decidedly not perfect. A bit too much chat about the menus; the oeufs in the meurette not quite runny enough. But the point is: it didn’t matter. All of it came charmingly together. It felt relaxed, just right."
The review is then wrapped up with a pleasing five stars, the cherry on top of the cake.
It's a review only restaurants can dream of, and we can't think of a more deserving team - congratulations Bavette.
