Enjoy delicious cocktails with a twist and South East Asian-inspired street food at Bar Soba on Greek Street.
Of course we all love a Bottomless Brunch, 90 minutes of free flowing prosecco and mouth watering food, what's not to like? But for those of us working a 9-5 on the weekends, we can sometimes miss out on those epic deals.
Well do not fear, as Bar Soba not only host an incredible Bottomless Brunch but they also host a Bottomless Supper too, what a winner.

Bottomless Brunch takes place Friday - Sunday from 12 - 4pm whilst Bottomless Supper kicks off Monday - Thursday from 4 - 9pm. Your booking includes 90 minutes of unlimited booze plus your choice of food from a fresh and exciting menu, all for just £35 per person.
For brunch choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol spritz or melonball and zombie punch cocktails. You can choose one main dish to devour from their brunch menu, including the beloved Chicken Katsu Curry, Thai favourite Pad Thai or the Indonesian staple Nasi Goreng if you're craving something spicy.

Although this will most definitely be enough food, we can't help but mention some of the tongue tantalising sides on offer. The Super Thai Fries smothered in satay sauce, sriracha and soba mayo all topped off with crispy onions and crushed peanuts sound so good that you'll have to order them for the table to share. Other sides include Okra tempura, shrimp crackers and wok fried asian greens in garlic and ginger.
The dessert which we have our eye on is the Japanese doughnut, coated in chilli sugar and served with mango sorbet and a fruit compote. The sides and desserts aren't included in the deal but can be added as an extra for a small price.
The Bottomless Supper includes a choice of two dishes from a small plate menu and is perfect for those who want to try a bit of everything and mix and match. Dishes include Cheeseburger Spring rolls, Duck or Vegetable Gyozas and Mini Teriyaki Beef Noodles. For booze choose from bottomless prosecco, bottled beer, Aperol Spritz and a selection of their fun and innovative cocktails.

Whether you're kicking off the weekend or winding down after work, it's the perfect place to catch up with friends and enjoy good food, drink and even better vibes.

She's big, she's green and she's ready to ruin your figure.
A lot of you will have seen the viral ‘Bertha’ cake by Leeds born beloved sweet treat specialists Get Baked.
They recently opened another site in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where queues literally formed round the block of hungry punters wanting to get their hands on the infamous sugary treats.
And now it's going to happen all over again, as they've recently unveiled their newest flavour which is sure to go down a storm.
We’ll give you a hint: it’s a current food and drink trend that’s about as big as Bertha herself – it’s not matcha, it’s not hot honey (duh), and it’s not Guinness…

Yes—scratch that; HELL YES!Get Baked is set to welcome Bertha’s equally beautiful twin sister, and she’s officially a pistachio girlie.
Having started out life simply as ‘Bruce’, after taking inspiration from the iconic scene from Matilda, this thing has become a phenomenon in its own right, and who doesn’t like more flavours of a good thing?
Probably one of the biggest foodie crazes going at the minute, thanks to the popularity of pistachio cream, cookies, lattes and the similar social media sensation that is the ‘Dubai Pistachio Bar' people are rather fittingly going nuts for this particular flavour of almost absolutely anything.
With that in mind, the Leeds-born bakery and dessert shop – founded by Rich Myers over in Headingley back in 2011 – have shown no hesitation in hopping on the bandwagon and creating a new twist on their own viral menu item.
Teasing the full details in a post on their Instagram this week, they wrote: “What’s big, green, and is going to destroy your life in a couple of weeks’ time? Pistachio Bertha. Strictly limited to 5,000 slices. Coming oh so soon. GB.”
In case you were wondering just how mad those with a sweet tooth could possibly go for a slice of cake, just look at the recent queues when they finally launched in Manchester city centre:
Speaking on the grand opening here on our turf and his partner Amy’s hometown, Myers said simply: “Manchester, what a launch. Thanks for much for the warm welcome. Stay baked.”
The Swine That Dines announces the official opening date of its brand new restaurant
Clementine Hall
Much-loved Leeds Bistro The Swine Bistro, formerly known as The Swine That Dines, has moved to a bigger space in Headingley.
Although it’s gone through a few name changes over the years since launching as The Greedy Pig cafe in 2012, this independent spot has long been a firm favourite for Leeds locals for some time now.
Run by chef couple Jo and Stu Myers, they’ve been operating out of North Street where it’s all about cooking seasonal produce simply and with an added ‘little bit of sunshine’.
But now Swine Bistro has moved up over to Headingley, taking up a unit previously occupied by Jam hairdressers on Otley Road.

And the time has finally come for them to open their doors, as they announce their first service will take place on Friday 4 April with bookings open from today, Thursday 20 March.
The Myers will be welcoming head chef Kirsty Cheetham, who won Observer Food Monthly’s Best Sunday Lunch award in 2018 and 2022 when she ran The Queen o’t owd Thatch in South Milford, Leeds.
The expanded space in the restaurant has allowed the team to curate a bigger wine list which will include natural wines from Wayward Wines and Latitude Wines as well as local beers from Ilkley Brewery and Horsforth Brewery.

The team remains passionate about locally sourced ingredients and has partnered with a variety of Yorkshire suppliers including R&J Yorkshire for its fresh meat, Tarbetts fishmonger, cheese from George & Joseph cheesemongers and beans from micro roaster, Chipp Coffee Co.
Jo Myers, co-owner of the Swine Bistro said: “It’s taken a huge amount of time and effort to realise our dream to revamp what was previously a hairdresser into a fully functioning kitchen and restaurant. It’s been a wild ride but we’re excited, and slightly nervous, to finally open our doors.
“We love the vibe in Headingley and the time out has allowed us to have fun with our menu as well as take part in lots of essential taste testing of ingredients and drinks from our brilliant local suppliers. We can’t wait to welcome guests into our new restaurant!”
