O'Neill's Leeds

Naughties Happy hour - £3 drinks and 3 other offers

You can always rely on good ol' Irish pub O'Neill's for piled-up plates and great portion sizes in a morning, plus no judgement for grabbing a pint or two alongside your first meal of the day. There are fuss-free sausage and egg or bacon and egg baps up for grabs, while their mega Irish breakfast plate - the most expensive on the menu - will only set you back £8.95. Expect bargains for days here.

Fearns Leeds

For the most delicious, fresh and sustainable breakfast in Leeds, it has to be Fearns. The cool and contemporary space offers an all-day affair of seriously delicious plates to be enjoyed in its modern surroundings. From 9.30am 'til 4.30pm, you can tuck into the likes of poached eggs served with Yorkshire artisan butter, chive and sourdough, or French toasted drizzled in a spiced golden syrup. 

Bower's Tap Leeds

The Bower's Tap on Lower Briggate is about to become your next go-to spot for a hearty breakfast. A double-decker of fun, housing two bars and floors, it's the perfect hangout spot to bring everyone, be it kids or grandparents. We'd recommend trying their Big Breakfast, featuring Cumberland sausages, bacon, fried eggs, hash browns, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, and toast. Yummy.

Lost & Found Leeds

Found in the heart of the city, Lost & Found Greek Street is a cocktail bar with character and the best breakfast in town. Embrace the wonders hidden within this quirky bar and toast to the forgotten legend of Professor Virginia K. Stevenson, a wild bird enthusiast who traded Yorkshire moorlands for city life, blending her love of birds with the lively party scene. Make sure to try out their brunch goodies before leaving, such as smashed avocado on toast, green shakshuka, as well as steak and eggs.

Browns Brasserie & Bar Leeds

One of the best breakfast places in Leeds, British brasserie and bar Browns is making sure you get the finest start to the day - and not just because their bistro-inspired interiors are drop-dead gorgeous. Think vegetarian, vegan and traditional full Englishes alongside omelettes, sausage sandwiches, pancetta and maple pancakes, and even more lavish dishes like the lobster-topped eggs benedict - with dishes here starting at just £6.50.

Midland Hotel, Leeds

Midland Hotel is located in the heart of Woodlesford in Leeds, serving up tasty pub grub and drinks with a heavy focus on gin. Their coffee shop brews top-notch drinks and bakes delicious cakes, making it the perfect spot to chill, work, or people-watch. Plus, they've got a delightful all-day breakfast spread with goodies like sausages and mash on offer, as well as afternoon tea, sandwiches, scones, and desserts.

The Ivy Leeds

When it comes to grabbing the best breakfast in Leeds city centre, The Ivy is a sure-fire way to leave rumbling tummies fully satisfied. Served between 8.30 and 11.30am, dishes include hand-pulled ham eggs benedict, pancakes and omelette for a British feel. Our recommendation is to grab the £15.95 breakfast special, which includes a smoothie or juice, a pastry, and a choice of traditional or vegetarian full English for a great experience.
