Claire's Café in Harborough

We booked a table for 27th December for a Christmas family night out, minus the kids. We arrived on time, about 7.45. As soon as we sat down we were told by our slightly embarrased waitress that there was no steak, no burgers and no Rioja or Merlot available. We accepted our menus anyway, only to find that half the main course options was for either burgers or steaks, leaving us with roast dinners and a couple of fish dishes as our options. We picked up our coats and left, taking our custom to a high street chain instead. When we walked past Nossa later that evening, at about 9.30, the restaurant was in complete darkness. We had visited this venue before lockdown when it was called The Olive (I think). The food and service then was terrific, so it was a terrible shame to experience what we did last December under this new guise. Having booked our table several weeks before we visited, you'd think the kitchen would have been able to serve up a burger or a steak. The atmosphere in the restaurant felt non-existent too, so we will be booking elsewhere in future.

A hidden gem with character - Welcoming and friendly team with nothing being too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend here against the chains!

A great little cafe for food and coffee Good choices on the menu. The homemade cakes look great too. Very nice place, well worth visiting!
