A well-known Leeds city centre independent bar and nightlife venue is launching an exclusive weekly deal with 50% off bao buns every Monday.
Loved for their unique cocktails offerings and impressive Chinese cuisine, Leeds late-night vendor Power, Corruption & Lies has launched a brand-new foodie offer.
This independent venue is offering you the chance to try its flavour-packed dough-pillows, more commonly referred to as bao buns for half price on a Monday.
The new promotion aptly labelled ‘Buns N’ Gyozas’ gives you the chance to take advantage of a huge 50% off the bar’s huge bao bun and dim sum range as well as bottles of prosecco from £20.
There’s something for everyone for try from the braised ox cheek to the char siu pork, as well as something for vegans and veggies with the panko oyster mushroom and kung pao tofu bao buns.
This deal isn’t limited to this menu item either, this Leeds independent bar is also slashing the prices of its dim sum offerings too which include a pork and kimchi gyoza and vegan chicken kastu too.
Power, Corruption & Lies are always on hand to serve up some colourful and fruity cocktails as well as some seriously tasty scran, all of which tastes even better when it’s 50% off, yum.
If you love a fluffy handheld cloud of flavour-packed joy in one hand and a glass of prosecco in the other, this deal was made for you.
Did we also mention that this bar is situated in Leeds’ prime nighttime spot Call Lane and when you pay them a visit they’re usually blasting out 80’s tunes and disco classics - name a better night out, we’ll wait.
This all new promotion titled ‘Buns N’ Gyozas’ is taking place at Power, Corruption & Lies on Call Lane in Leeds City Centre every Monday from 5pm onwards.
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
Clementine Hall
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
