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.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
