Christmas has well and truly arrived in Leeds and this bottomless brunch is just the thing to get you in the festive spirit.
Manahatta have just launched a bottomless brunch just in time for Christmas and all your festive favourites on the menu, as well as some classic Manahatta dishes.
Served every day until 4pm, enjoy unlimited drinks whilst tucking into the taste of December 25th.
The Christmas Burger is an entire dinner in one.
A tasty pork and bacon burger with chestnut sage stuffing is paired with apple and cranberry chutney, Monterey Jack cheese and served with skin-on fries, an onion ring and the ultimate festive treat: a pig in blanket.

For a lighter alternative, try the Christmas Bagel: spicy crisp coated chicken, pancetta, brie, pig in a blanket, cranberry and apple chutney and mayo, all stuffed inside a toasted bagel and served with skin-on fries.
The Xmas Hash sounds like a particular delight. A delicious concoction of sweet potato, pulled turkey with sage and onion, pigs and blankets and spinach all topped with two fried eggs.
If you're not quite ready to put Mariah on and decorate your tree, there are still plenty of seasonal, but not overly Christmassy dishes for you to choose from.
Vegans needn't miss out on this fantastic offer as their Greenmarket Warm Pretzel features halloumi, tomato and a fresh avocado salsa.
The bottomless drink options are just as vast and utterly delicious.
Unlimited cocktails, prosecco and lager? Count us in. / Image: Manahatta
Think unlimited prosecco, bloody mary cocktails, pints of Coors beer, as well as a range of festive cocktails that are yet to be named.
If you're the driver or don't fancy getting boozy: Manahatta really is catering for everyone. Choose either lychee crush or passionfruit and ginger spritz mocktails, or both: you'll have plenty of time to get them down.
Available at £39.95 and an extra £5 for some of the premium 'uptown options', you're in for a real treat.

A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
The 42-year-old Kirkgate Market stall serving freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 a pop
Clementine Hall
Tucked away in Leeds Kirkgate Market you'll find a wonderful seafood stall selling freshly shucked oysters for £1.90 each.
It's places like these that remind us why we love Leeds so much.
Established in 1880, Hayes Seafood is widely regarded as the oldest trader within the historic Kirkgate Market.
For the past 42 years, it has been run by Cliff and Michelle, the loveliest couple who welcome every customer with open arms.

The menu here is small but perfectly formed, focusing on fresh, ready-to-eat seafood that you can enjoy with a squeeze of lemon and a dollop of mayonnaise at most.
Delivered fresh every morning, there's pre-cracked crab shells, brown and white crab meat, cockles, crawfish tails - all perfectly prepared for you to eat at their bar or high tables opposite.
But, it's the oysters that you'll see people queueing for. And rightly so.

Everything here is prepared to order right in front of you, and for no extra fee. You can choose from two types of oysters: super salty Lindisfarne oysters or the slightly sweeter English Loch Fyne.
We recommend having a couple of each, pulling up a stool right by the counter and getting stuck in. If you ask Cliff nicely, he might tell you a bit about the history of the place - but you may have to order a couple more oysters for that.

You're left to dress them yourself, whether you prefer dash of fiery tabasco or a few pickled shallots. But to be honest, they're delicious just as they come.
This spot is a real piece of Leeds history, and the queues at lunchtime as well as the repeat regular customers proves just how special it is.
All it's missing is a champagne stall next to it...now wouldn't that be perfect?
