Where To Get The Best English Breakfast In Leeds

Waking up to a hangover on a Sunday morning, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? If it’s tucking into a traditional English breakfast, you’re in luck! We’ve pulled together a list of the very best places in Leeds to get stuck into a hearty plate of sausages, egg and bacon – or vegetarian or vegan options, if you prefer. Here are seven breakfasts in Leeds worth getting out of bed for. Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Layne’s Espresso

If you’re seeking a vegetarian English breakfast, Layne’s is perhaps your best option in the city centre. Their delectable English breakfast shuns the usual suspects in favour of braised beans, sourdough toast, poached egg, roasted tomato and shallots, Mayfield cheese and a chestnut and lemon patty. Carnivores will be thankful that bacon comes as an optional extra, allowing everyone to enjoy this delicious take on a classic breakfast.

The Greedy Pig

Riveresque

If you’re looking for a fry-up that doesn’t cost the earth, Riveresque’s cheap and cheerful menu is the perfect option. The Full English comes as standard or as a smaller option and is even available in a ciabatta if you’re in a rush and want to eat on the go. Don’t be fooled by the incredibly generous prices – the small English breakfast is larger than you expect with two each of bacon, sausage and eggs, while the full version is absolutely gigantic!

Opposite Café

Located opposite Leeds University (yes, that’s where it got its name), Opposite is the perfect place for a relaxing start to your day. This simple yet cosy café specialises in healthy, Fairtrade and vegetarian food and is the perfect option for enjoying a wholesome vegetarian version of the classic Full English.

Moments

This friendly little café only has a small menu, but their English breakfast is one of the best in Leeds, so what else would you want? The tasty Toulouse sausages set this breakfast apart from the local produce served elsewhere in the city, and there are a variety of options for how you prefer your eggs. We guarantee that you’ll be asking for the recipe for the smoked bacon beans after you’ve finished your plate.

Filmore and Union

Located in Moortown, this small café and deli is a great place for enjoying a healthy breakfast without venturing into the city centre. Their extensive brunch menu offers many distractions, but if you’re after a traditional breakfast their full English won’t disappoint. Expect gluten-free pork and herb sausages alongside all of the usual accompaniments, eggs cooked how you like them and homemade toasted bread.
