Nesso Leeds’ Christmas showstopper – Panettone Sticky Toffee French Toast

Adding a bit of festive flair to their winter menu, Nesso has also launched a limited-edition Panettone Sticky Toffee French Toast, available until 31st December.

The Christmas special is available exclusively at Nesso in Leeds city centre, served daily as part of the café’s all-day brunch menu.

This indulgent creation gives one of Nesso’s most-loved dishes a seasonal twist, combining traditional Italian panettone with cosy Christmas sweetness.

The dish features a thick slice of traditional Panettone, baked until golden, topped with soft-serve vanilla gelato, warm sticky toffee sauce, seasonal berries and a Biscoff crumb finish.

Chef-founder Bobby Geetha said: “Christmas is the perfect time to introduce our new Bottomless Brunch. It’s a magical experience designed for connecting with friends and family.

“Our Panettone French Toast is already a firm favourite, so we wanted to create something extra special. This Sticky Toffee version is rich, warming and the perfect winter brunch treat.”
