There is not a better meal than brunch. Whoever came up with the idea that you can order some food with alcohol early doors and not be frowned upon is a genious. Whether it is a bottomless brunch or a nice meal to enjoy with a loved one or friends brunch is amazing. This time of year it is great to sit outside, and with the government guidelines still stating we have to stay outside for the next few weeks, we’ve put together a few of our favourite Leeds outdoor brunch areas where you can enjoy a little bit or European-style al fresco dining.

1. Yard & Coop
A Merrion Street must, Yard & Coop has an amazing bottomless brunch with the tastiest buttermilk fried chicken! Kicking off every Saturday at 12pm you can enjoy two courses and a selection of bottomless drinks. The first course is a chicken or veggie ‘tacro’ which is a croissant made into a raco – stuffed with scrambled eggs or other breakfast items, which is then followed by either buttermilk chicken pancakes or waffles.
