Calling all students, Fleur are giving you the chance to try their infamous bottomless brunch for just half the price for a limited time only.
If you're a student and you love bottomless brunch, then you will definitely want to keep on reading.
Fleur 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 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 pretzel bun burgers, BBQ beef brisket on toast and eggs royale with caviar.

Fleurs’ Autumn/Winter menu features nods to Chef Bobby Geetha’s Keralan heritage with brunch dishes such as Masala Tofu & Avocado Scramble and mains such as Kerala Salmon.
Fancy something sweet? Opt for the Belgian Waffles with Nutella and Banana to satisfy your sweet tooth, finished with a tangy berry compote and a crunchy Biscoff crumb.
With Fresher's week just around the corner, the lovely people at Fleur are offering all students 50% off their brunch when they present a valid student ID.
Chef Bobby Geetha said, “With multiple universities here, we really have missed having such a large student population due to covid the past couple of years. With restrictions no longer in place this year we know that our city is set to welcome thousands of new students and we can’t wait to give them the welcome they deserve.”
The offer is valid on the 26, 27 and 28 September 2022, between 3-4pm and for tables up to four people. Now is the perfect time to get together with your friends and enjoy one of the best bottomless brunches in the city.

The Merrion Centre is set to welcome one of the UK’s fastest-growing specialist music retailers.
K-pop fans, you're going to love this one.
Soft launching on Friday 22 May, K-pop Korner Leeds will open initially as a pop-up store, becoming the brand’s fourth UK location and its first in the north of England.
Recognised as the UK’s leading dedicated K-pop retailer, K-pop Korner stocks official K-pop albums, signed albums, light sticks and rare collectibles imported directly from Korea.
Not only that, but the brand has developed a strong national following through fan events, trading days, concerts and exclusive product launches.
The Leeds opening follows the success of K-pop Korner’s existing stores in London Waterloo, London Euston and Nottingham, with growing demand from fans across Yorkshire and the north driving the expansion.
Anastasia Tsappis, Director of K-pop Korner, said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring K-pop Korner to Leeds and finally create a dedicated space for fans in Yorkshire and the North of England. Community has always been at the heart of what we do and we’re looking forward to building a welcoming environment where fans can meet, discover new merchandise, celebrate their favourite artists and enjoy special events together.
“Our community has been asking for a more accessible location outside London and the Midlands for a long time, so Leeds felt like the natural next step. The Merrion Centre stood out because of its vibrant atmosphere, fantastic city-centre location and strong connection to entertainment and youth culture.
“We want the opening to feel like more than just a store launch. It’s about celebrating K-pop fandom and creating memorable experiences for the local community. We’re especially excited to see fans come together for our opening events and experience the energy and excitement that makes K-pop culture so special.”
Inside Pardon Me – Leeds’ newest neighbourhood record bar inspired by Japan
Clementine Hall
Farsley is now home to an ultra-cool record bar with coffee, cocktails and an unbeatable sound system.
Tucked away in the beautiful Sunny Bank Mills, Pardon Me is a record bar built around 'music, atmosphere, and detail'.
It's been launched by Scott Rapson, who grew up in the Scottish Highlands and fell in love with music around the time of the arrival of hip hop in the early 80s.
He then spent time travelling for raves, and visiting venues like Glasgow’s Sub Club and London’s Plastic People, giving Scott an appreciation for how 'music can shape a room, not just fill it'.

Scott and his partner Laurie have then spent the past three years travelling, visiting listening bars across Europe to shape the foundations of Pardon Me.
Listening bars, also known as hi-fi bars, originated in 1920s Japan - and you can really see the Japanese influence within the space and it's super cool interiors.

Bartenders here create a small but perfectly formed menu of cocktails and pour natural wines from Wayward Wines in front of a wall of vinyl, while a collection of Scott's records play as a soundtrack to your evening.
The sound system Scott claims is one of the "best in the North East", which he says has a "real sense of depth and balance to it" with a "coverage that stays incredibly consistent across the room".

Whether it's for coffee during the day, or drinks into the evening, they want Pardon Me to be a place to spend time, looking out across Sunny Bank Mills.
