​

Make a Day of It:

Arrive early for brunch, wander along Fossgate and explore the Merchant Adventurers’ Hall before continuing towards The Shambles. If you started with French toast, call it sightseeing fuel. If you also ordered an iced latte and a side, call it excellent planning.

​

The Tidy Take:

Rise understands that brunch should be equal parts breakfast, lunch and cheerful overindulgence. The plates are photogenic without forgetting to be satisfying, the coffee keeps things moving and the weekend queues tell their own story.
