most places play it safe.
A little toast.
A dusting of sugar.
Maybe some berries.
Then there’s Nesso Leeds — and suddenly French toast isn’t just brunch anymore. It’s a full dessert moment.
This Is Not a French Toast. This Is a Statement.

- Thick slices of toasted panettone
- Drenched in Canadian maple syrup
- Warm berry compote melting into every bite
- Finished with Biscoff sauce
- Clouds of cream

Why Nesso’s French Toast Is Different from Anywhere Else in Leed
Most French toast in Leeds is built on:
- Standard bread
- Minimal toppings
- Safe flavours
Nesso flips that completely.
What makes it stand out:
✔ Panettone instead of bread – richer, softer, more indulgent
✔ Layered textures – soft, crunchy, creamy
✔ Dessert-level finishing – Biscoff sauce + crumbs
✔ Brunch-sized portions – not a side plate
✔ Instagram-first presentation – visually irresistible
This is why it’s one of the most photographed brunch dishes at Nesso Leeds & Morley.
