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.

The boozy brunch offer stretches across the entire day from 11am - 5pm and the all day brunch menu is jam packed with delicious dishes to satisfy your cravings all day long.
For just £29.95 a head, enjoy a range of dishes alongside unlimited prosecco, beer, cocktails or mocktails for a whopping 90 minutes.
Cocktails on offer include the Pink Gin Fizz, Mojito or Fruit cocktail and you can even upgrade to unlimited house white or rose wine for an extra £6.95.

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.

One of Leeds’ most iconic buildings is set to be brought back to life.
Plans for a brand-new padel and leisure destination at The Roundhouse on Wellington Road have been approved by Leeds City Council’s West Plans Panel.
Consent has been granted for Ollo Padel to transform the Grade II* listed Roundhouse into a state-of-the-art sport, fitness, food, drink and community venue subject to conditions and completion of a Section 106 agreement.
Built in 1847 for the Leeds and Thirsk Railway Company, The Roundhouse was once home to the steam locomotives that powered industrial Victorian Leeds. In recent years, the building has stood largely unused.

The approved plans will restore and protect the landmark building and give the site a new, long-term future as one of the city’s most distinctive leisure destinations.
The three-acre site, located on the edge of Leeds city centre, will include nine outdoor doubles padel courts under a 10-metre canopy, plus a dedicated indoor coaching court within The Roundhouse itself.
At the heart of the site will be the Ollo Clubhouse; built around an all-day kitchen and bar, it will combine a comfortable lounge and co-working space, meeting rooms and live sport and events spaces.
The kitchen and bar will be run in partnership with Southbank Provisions, the independent Leeds hospitality team behind Headrow House, Belgrave Music Hall and Galleria whilst the gym will be operated by fitness and performance specialists Northbound, who will bring strength and conditioning practice, Hyrox training and pilates classes to The Roundhouse.

Construction is expected to begin later this year, with the venue aiming to open in early 2027.
Luke Gidney, Founder & CEO Ollo Padel: "This is a huge day for Leeds, for The Roundhouse and for Ollo. The Roundhouse has been part of the city’s story for nearly 180 years. It’s an incredible building but it needs people, energy and purpose again. Our plan is to bring it back to life as a place where people can play, eat, work, meet friends and feel part of something.
"Padel is growing so quickly because it’s fun, social and easy to pick up. But for us, this is about more than just the courts. We want Ollo to become a proper community destination for Leeds, somewhere welcoming, joyful and full of life.
"We’re incredibly grateful to Leeds City Council’s planning team, our case officer, the wider council team and everyone who has supported the project to this point. This has been a complex project but the sport and engagement throughout has been brilliant. Now the real work starts and we cannot wait to open the doors for you.”
New study crowns Leeds as one of the friendliest cities in the UK
Clementine Hall
New research has revealed a global ranking of cities with the best customer service, with Leeds taking one of the top spots.
If you've been wondering which cities across the world are the friendliest of them all, then look no further because MoneySuperMarket have done the work for us in a new study.
In a world where social media culture plays a huge part in people's lives, online customer reviews are pretty important to local businesses.
To uncover the global locations that are home to the best customer service, the businesses insurance experts analysed over 100,000 reviews of leisure and hospitality businesses in 107 cities worldwide.
They looked at the language in the reviews to see how often friendly workers and staff were mentioned, building a global ranking of the cities where customer service truly stands out.
Out of a whopping 107, Leeds came in at a very respectable number 12. Now we think that's pretty good going.
Outside of the UK, Hanoi, Paris, Montreal and Abu Dhabi were highlighted for their friendly customer service whilst Edinburgh tops the global ranking, with Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol also making the world’s top 10.
The top 10 cities in the UK with the best customer service are as follows:
Edinburgh
Liverpool
Birmingham
Bristol
Belfast
Leeds
Glasgow
Cardiff
Manchester
London
Alicia Hempsted spoke on the study: “As businesses grow and engage with more customers, it’s important to make sure they’re protected. Public liability insurance is an important safeguard for those working with the public, helping to cover costs if something goes wrong, while also showing customers that their experience is taken seriously - from the moment they walk through the door to long after they’ve left.”
