Multistories, Leeds' coolest new rooftop car park event, has launched a new series of bottomless brunches in collaboration with Masterchef star Matt Healey.
Taking place every Saturday between 12 pm and 2.30 pm, and every Sunday between 12 pm and 2.30 pm and 3.30 pm to 6 pm, this new sky-high boozy brunch is right up our street.
Hosted at Level 8 at Citi Park in the Merrion Centre with stunning views across Leeds city centre, you'll get stuck into 90 minutes of bottomless brunch - starting with a host of delicious tapas dishes from none other than Matt Healey.

Saturday's events will be a straight bottomless brunch with local DJ's on hand to provide the selections throughout, whilst Sunday's will take things up a notch once again by adding a series of themes into the mix.
The themed Sunday brunches will kick off with a ‘Diva Drag’ brunch on Sunday 8 August, with appearances from host Velma Cell and local star Karla Bear.
Going forward, these will chance weekly with future themes set to include disco, 80s and hip-hop.
There'll be props provided and you're expected to go all-out with your garms to make sure you really look the part.

£30 per head will get you unlimited prosecco, house beer and cocktails alongside some tasty plates from Matt Healey in the kitchen. The menu is yet to be revealed but given his track record we're sure it'll be excellent.
If you want to, you can also upgrade to a premium drinks menu to increase your choice on the bottomless option.
Speaking on the new brunches, Arron Fishwick the co-founder of the company behind Multistories said:
“We’ve had some recent success with our Camden Helles tanker party and people watching the Euros on our big screen.
"It seemed like the logical next step to offer bottomless brunch, but to take it to another level (literally) by introducing the themes on a Sunday for those looking for something a little different.
"It’s been incredible to see people coming together and enjoying themselves at Multistories over the last month and a half and we are determined to keep things fresh and interesting by now offering the highest brunch in Leeds city centre.
“Our whole aim for Multistories has been about bringing people from the hospitality sector back together to create something fun and cool. Not only that, but we want people to enjoy a safe space where they can meet and catch up over some delicious food and drinks."
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.”
