'A real buzz': 15 first-look pictures inside new brunch hotspot Federal that's just opened in Leeds

Federal, which is renowned in Manchester for its Australian-inspired breakfasts and all-day brunches, opened in the recently refurbished 34 Boar Lane on Monday (December 15).

Leeds diners can expect an all-day brunch menu featuring signature dishes such as French toast, steak and eggs, halloumi and shrooms, plus a rotating line-up of specials. Drinks include coffee and teas, fresh juices, wine, beer and cocktails.

Established in Manchester in 2014, Federal is inspired by Kiwi and Aussie neighbourhood cafés and has built a reputation for exceptional coffee, standout brunch dishes and warm, welcoming service. Founded by Claudio Ribeiro, Federal has grown over the last decade to three outlets across Manchester in the Northern Quarter, Deansgate and Oxford Road. The Leeds site is its first in Yorkshire.

Speaking ahead of the Leeds launch, Ribeiro said: “We’re overwhelmed with the response from the people of Yorkshire and excited to be part of the amazing hospitality scene. There has been a real buzz around Federal coming to Leeds, and it’s been amazing to see the site come to life and welcome everyone in for a taste of Federal.”
