It's fair to say that Leeds has some excellent bottomless brunch options, but this one at Mans Market might just be our favourite yet.
The Chinese restaurant and bar concept is already a favourite in the city amongst foodies in the know, having been highly recommended by the Sunday Times.
Serving up a mix of dim sum, stuffed bao, sharing pans and 'belly fillers' alongside sides like triple cooked salt and pepper chips, stir fried mixed veg, egg fried rice and broccoli with chilli and garlic, we're tempted to head down for a scran at any time of the week.

If you visit on Saturdays and Sundays between 12 and 3 pm, though, chances are you'll get a whole lot more for your money by dining out on the £29 bottomless brunch deal.
For that, you'll get two hours of unlimited drinks, a selection of dim sum, sides and mains. An absolute steal in our book. And the food looks mega, too.
Think giant prawn crackers, spring rolls, satay skewers and prawn sesame fingers to share, followed by a choice of crispy chilli beef, duck and char siu or sweet and sour chicken.

If none of those take your fancy, there's a few more mains choices too - like black bean and pepper with tofu, chicken or beef, or Mans Market's 'around the world chicken curry', served with your choice of egg fried rice, steamed rice or noodles.
If that's not enough to tempt you, you'll also get to choose a selection of sides (we're definitely feeling those salt and pepper chips).
Throw in two hours of free-flowing prosecco or house lager, and you've got yourself a top notch brunch. After all, most places we've found in Leeds only do 90 minutes - so you're certainly getting a lot more bang for your buck at Mans Market.
The way it works is you're given a little sign that says 'feed me' / 'drink me' which you clip to a chain above your table when you're in need of a top up. First the team will bring you over a dim sum sharing platter to start, before you move onto your mains.
If you don't fancy lager or prosecco, there's also a few upgrade options available. If you fancy sipping on bellinis instead, you can add these on for an additional £5 or go the whole hog and upgrade to any cocktail of your choice for an additional £10.
With fun drinks like bubblegum daiquiris, Hong Kong island iced teas and Kobe Tais, we're certainly tempted.

Korn have announced a major Manchester gig as part of a new UK tour – their first in more than a decade.
The nu metal legends will be heading to the First Direct Bank Arena later this year, making a monumental return to British shores.
And they’ve announced very special guests will be joining them on the tour too – support will come from Architects, as well as Youth Code.
Korn burst onto the scene back in 1991 with their seminal self-titled debut album, and have gone on to release a whopping 14 studio albums.
The Californian group have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammy Awards, and headed out on countless world tours.
They’re often cited by newer bands as a major influence and have pushed the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres.
The Ringer has described Korn as ‘a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now’.
As well as performing in Leeds, Korn will play at venues across the UK including in Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and London.
They’ll be joined by Architects, a British metalcore band who have continued to top the charts even after the tragic death of founding member, guitarist, and principal songwriter Tom Searle.
Korn will be at our very own First Direct Bank Arena on Monday 26 October, with pre-sale tickets available from Tuesday 17 March at 8am, before a general on-sale from Friday 20 March at 8am.
Run, don't walk - as we reckon these tickets will fly off the shelves.
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is set to open in Leeds this spring
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley very soon.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok girlies, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.m
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and although we don't have a confirmed opening date we've got a feeling they'll be 'scooping' very soon.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
