1. Italian-Inspired, Chef-Driven Brunch Dishes

Forget your average avocado toast — at Nesso, every dish tells a story.
Chef Bobby Geetha has crafted a brunch menu that celebrates Italian warmth with bold, creative flavours. Expect plates like:
• Smoked Salmon or Halloumi Poached Egg Brunch – on artisan Pugliese bread with marinara, smashed avocado and hollandaise.
• Nesso Meatballs Brunch Bake – baked to perfection in rich tomato sauce with ricotta, jalapeño garlic butter and pesto.
• Kunafa Croissant Dessert – inspired by Dubai’s trendiest dessert, combining pistachio cream, maple syrup, biscoff crumb and soft serve.

Every bite is made fresh, using high-quality local produce with a luxury Italian twist.

2. All-Day Brunch, Every Day

Unlike other brunch spots that close mid-day, Nesso’s all-day brunch is available from morning till late — perfect for both early risers and late brunchers.
Whether it’s a lazy weekend breakfast, midweek meeting, or a pre-theatre dinner, Nesso fits any time of day.

3. Perfect for Pre-Theatre Dining in Leeds

Located just minutes away from Leeds Grand Theatre, First Direct Arena, and Howard Assembly Room, Nesso is ideal for a pre-theatre brunch and drink.
Enjoy a special Pre-Theatre Brunch Deal — any brunch dish with a glass of Prosecco, wine, or Italian beer for just £12.
It’s the perfect way to start your night out in the city.

4. Beautiful Instagrammable Space

With its elegant interiors, warm lighting and European café vibes, Nesso Leeds is one of the most Instagrammable brunch cafés in Leeds.
From chic terrazzo tables to golden accents and latte-art coffees, every corner is made for photos — and memories.

5. Italian Afternoon Tea — Leeds’ Hidden Gem

Beyond brunch, Nesso also offers a signature Italian Afternoon Tea that’s unlike anything else in Leeds — featuring mini pastries, focaccia sandwiches, cannoli, tiramisu, and tea pairings by Chef Bobby Geetha.
It’s a perfect choice for birthdays, special occasions or a luxurious day out.

🥂 Bottomless & Group Brunches
