The Brasserie @ Leaside in Luton

Arrived here a little randomly, but completely charmed. The decor was exotic and our server was wonderfully helpful. We had a massive ham and pineapple pizza, halloumi tacos, chicken & chorizo tacos, humous, and bruschetta. Every dish was generous and extremely fresh - nothing taken from the freezer and fried or microwaved. Although we never return to Luton, this place is worth a visit. Our 14yo says “just say it’s FAB”

Excellent food, very good service, new decor really looks good 👌 and offcourse good location in town!

Came here on Saturday afternoon. Have been here plenty of times and would off highly recommend. But to be honest. The food was very disappointing compared to previously. Not much choice some food very over cooked and very slow. We had the bottomless bubbles and the girls doing the drinks were brilliant. Shame about the food. Usually great value for money.

So many veggie options, amazing cocktails and really lovely staff. Couldn’t recommend more. Best Mexican cuisine for miles.

Had a great night in here many different drinks and made great use of the Gin Bar. A great meeting place with friends and a hot social spot with many

Our first visit (why have we not eaten here before!). Everything was fantastic. A very warm welcome and great service. The lady who took our orders is certainly in the right role, very knowledgeable and informative about the menu and so friendly. Menu is so extensive, it was hard to choose. Food was wonderful. Only problem was we were too full to try dessert. Will definitely be going back.

attended this restaurant for my daughters 21st birthday and WOW this must be Luton’s best kept secret! fantastic menu with a range of options to suit everyone, varied wine and cocktail menu and if you order the tapas dishes be prepared for a feast. Steak served on a hot stone was some of the best I’ve ever tasted and we all went home stuffed. Fantastic friendly and helpful service from our waitress Nicola who was so well informed on the menu and helped us make the very tough choice about what to order. Truly top class service and we will be returning time and time again.

Been here a couple of times now and it's been good every time. The food is great, there's lots of variety on the menu to keep everyone happy, yet the quality was high with all the dishes we ordered. The service is very good, the waitress we had knew lots about the menu and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

My friends and I went for the Bottomless Prosecco and lunch at the Brasserie Azure in the Leaside hotel that is held each Sunday afternoon. It was outstanding! Nicola, our excellent waitress explained how it works. You have a 2 hour time slot and during that time you are given a limitless supply of Prosecco, gin with mixer or soft drinks (you can mix and match so not limited to one choice). They bring you out a selection of appetisers straight away, then followed by a wide selection of small dishes from their tapas menu. If you think you can still manage more, then you can choose more tapas or their larger dishes. There is absolutely no catch and our glasses were topped up constantly. The amount of food provided was more than adequate and it was all delicious. For £25 it was excellent value for money. We had a fabulous time and as it was a beautiful afternoon, we stayed after our allocated time and enjoyed a few more drinks on the patio. We enjoyed it so much that we have now booked our place for Christmas and another couple of trips in between!

Went to a bottomless brunch at Brassie Azure at the Leaside Hotel. What a fantastic find. You could have either unlimited prosecco or gin and unlimited Tapas. The food was excellent. You were allowed to order more in the two hours, but there was so much food you didn't need to. The drinks were flowing and the service was excellent. Nicola was amazing. Really looked after us, we were never without food or drink. Beautiful setting too. I will definitely be booking again.

Amazing!!! I visited with 2 friends, Sunday you can book the bottomless bubbles £25 each... 2 hour slot, unlimited food, bubbles, gin and soft drinks... the food was presented well, loads of it and could of ordered more, so lovely, the staff very attentive, constantly topping up the bubbles and offering gin/soft drinks. (You ca pay for other drinks if you wish) the 2 hours went way too quick... could of stayed all Day/night! Recommended to many people Already. A must for a girly catch up or couples... family’s welcome too and children are Discounted.

We had a party of 10 for a double leaving do for a local company on Saturday 9th June. I am in a wheelchair and was promptly helped in the side entrance through the kitchen by a lovely lady (Nicole? I think?) and one of the chefs who moved the cars to allow me space. The food was exquisite with fantastic service all evening. Lots of food and drink, the portions are very generous, believe me when I say you only need tapas size! I had chicken and chorizo tacos and chips that I shared with a friend. I was stuffed 3/4 of the way through there was that much food. Excellent value for money, in fact, I'm going again for bottomless bubbles tomorrow! Many thanks, xx

Great food, excellent service and a fun atmosphere. The menu is varied but as there was 11 of us we choose a sharer meal. Highly recommended

I booked Azure, for a different night out with my family, for our 50th anniversary. we had a fantastic night, the banquet food was super, and not in anyway were they stingy on the portions, our lovely lady waitress was so patience with us and she serve us so well, explaining the different dishes as we went along. The drink service was terrific too. would I booked again?? Absolutely. thank you all in Azure for making our 50th anniversary special

The food was amazing - service by Nicola was the same. She went out of her way to help us as this was our first time eating here. She even got my Dad a cushion as the chair was a bit low for him - bless her! The food was a real pleasure both the men had the steaks that you cook yourself on a hot stone which was an experience for both of them and my Mum and I had the mussels which were so tasty. Would 100% recommend! Go and visit for yourselves .......

The atmosphere and excellent staff from the restaurant right through to bar staff all make for a good night out.Have now had several meals here and never been disappointed,the variety is superb and cooked and served to a high standard.The staff are so nice and helpful,Gin and cocktail menu are very good

A very good choice of food and very good service. The pizza was amazing! So tasty and so fresh. Would 100% recommend

Visited here in december with my partner for a meal and was served by a lovely lady named Sam from start to finish Sam was an absolute pleasure. We had such an amazing evening please say a big thank you to sam x

we stayed at the hotel on a monay night for business and decided to eat in. Our waitress Nicola ran through the menu with us at the bar to give us a few pointers while we enjoyed a drink. We sat in the main room which is warm has a fire, a large bay window and a comfortable feel to it. The menu had plenty of options including a pizza menu, but we opted for tapas - , One of us is vegan which often limits your options, but there was enough to choose from without a specific vegan menu. MAybe they should look at specifying the vegan options or eevn tweaking their enu slightlyto make it more vegan / veggie friendly, but luckily our witress was excellent and knew what was and wasn't an option....The majority of choices were variations on greek, spanish or Italian with a few other choice dishes thrown in. I opted for olive stuffed with sundried tomatoes and houmus and flat bread which were all delicious. I followed with a vegtable fajitas (flour, salt, water, olive oil) which were spicy, but didn't blow my head off - with a mixed salad and fries. good standard fare, but very tasty and very generous portions... I struggled to finsh as did my colleage who thoroughly enjoyed his prawns and duck hoisin sauce pancakes. Neither of us could even think about desert, we would definitely eat here again, food was great, staff were helpful and friendly and for the amount of food we had prices were reasonable too !

Came here without a reservation on match day but it wasn't an issue, the staff let us know that they would be able to accommodate us from 3pm once the crowd had gone. We had a lovely lunch, this is my third time in the last 3 months and on each occasion the food has been consistently tasty and the prices are reasonable. The cocktail menu is also extremely appealing here.

We came here with friends, it was their first time eating here. The waitress talked us through the menu which was very helpful. My husband and I had steak last time and liked the way that you can cook your steak if it is not cooked enough for you. The choices of food are excellent. Three of us liked the selection of five Tapas from a very varied choice so we each ordered three different flavours and shared them. You get very generous portions, nicely presented and the flavours were delicious. . We both thought it was good value for money too. I thought that the chilli taco was a bit spicy but my husband was ok with the spice.

Partner and I stayed at the Leaside for one night and chose to eat in.

I telephoned for a reservation at lunchtime for that evening,and was told that due to the football match crowds the...

Made to wait over 90mins for food then starter and mains arrived together, unfortunately the manager was busy on her mobile and chatting to her friend in the bar so couldn't sort it out

He aquí un par de veces y siempre disfrute del ambiente, así que en esta ocasión decidimos quedarnos a cenar. Nos llevaron a la zona de comedor por nuestra anfitriona, que era absolutamente genial para toda nuestra visita. Porque era nuestra primera vez comiendo aquí ella nos habló a través del menú, que era muy servicial. Las opciones de comida son excelentes. Nos vimos tentados por Fajitas, pero al final decidimos por una selección de 5 tapas de una selección muy variada. Hay que esperar un poco para la comida, pero merece la pena. Tienes muy generosas porciones, muy bien presentada y los sabores eran deliciosos. Disfrutamos especialmente el pato, el pollo crujiente aromático shishlick (picante, pero domesticada agregando sus crema agria) y el Pesto pollo. Nos pareció que era una buena relación calidad-precio también. Bajar con sus lavados curioso IPA - una muy buena cerveza. Recomiendo encarecidamente comer aquí y la gente que trabaja aquí son agradables, especialmente la chica que nos servía el sábado

La comida aquí era insuperable. Alojarse en un viaje de negocios, el hotel y el restaurante eran fantásticos. Entre otras cosas tuve la carne que tú cocinas en una piedra caliente. Nicola fue el que me recomendaron este y ella no me dejara sola (en el buen sentido - muy atento). Sin duda recomendaría este restaurante a cualquiera en la zona hiciera que se alojen en el hotel o cerca.

Visitamos esta noche por primera vez después de ser recomendado por un amigo y me alegro de que seguimos sus consejos.

I'm a big fan of tapas so come here regularly. There's a fantastic range of options so i try to try some thing new every visit. If tapas isn't your thing then there's plenty to choose from as mains.

The menu has a great selection and is cooked to perfection. The meals came with home made pate, dips and condiments. Janine and bubbly family are amazing staff which gave the restaurant a fun family atmosphere! This restaurant is a must try!!!

We ate here twice as part of a family gathering and the food was plentiful and very good. Nothing was too much trouble, despite there being dietary requirements and the service was cheerful and prompt. Everything we needed to pack up the leftovers was given without being asked.

I took my daughter to Leaside Hotel's Brasserie Azure for an evening meal and had a truly fantastic meal and overall experience. My 12-year-old loved the delicious pizza and enjoyed the fondue fries so much that she asked me to tell the chef that they were "the best chips ever!"Couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly. An amazing range of dishes from around the world, friendly, attentive staff and a great atmosphere in one of the best restaurants in Luton.

Highly recommend visiting on a Thursday (Or any night) but Thursday is with a reduced steak meal, a side order and a drink it's amazing. Service is friendly and bubbly... Steak served on a hot plate so you can cook the steak yourself to your own liking! I wouldn't go anywhere else now for a steak meal. 5 stars!!! Thank you!!! xx

Stay monthly with work. Consistently high standards with friendly service. Great menu and generous portions. Highly recommended!

Superb food, interesting menu, excellent service and value for money.We celebrated 21st birthday with family, 10 diners all thoroughly enjoyed their meals. Nicola was an excellent waitress, guided us through the menu, recommended dishes and suggested we share some - the portions are generous. All staff friendly & professional. Vegetarians and nut allergy diners very well catered for. We loved the variety & quality of the food & drinks - especially the Nua Prosecco Rosé. Great atmosphere & decor, with patio for drinks, would recommend Azure for an informal meal for any occasion.Small car park on site and about 5 minute walk from Luton Train station & bus interchange. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

having come here it was lovely to receive such good service from the staff. The food selection of having a tapas or main was a great idea. Food was lovely & the experience was just exceptional. Will definitely come again.

Been here numerous times and every time I've been more than satisfied with the quality of food and the friendly staff! Would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting to eat somewhere in Luton, amazing all round!

Went here for a meal with friends the gin bar was amazing we had what they call posh pizzas we were not disappointed definately gonna return to try the tapas menu

Having been to the leaside hotel & experiencing the restaurant I was more than pleased with the food & service that was provided. My family were also happy with everything.

I have to say what change from the norm for a business stop over.Fantastic welcome by reception. Even though i arrivied later than planned, which had put my table booking out of sync!! The team couldnt do enough to make sure i was catered for...Was talked into a steak for dinner by the waitress and after eating it i could see why...just perfect!!Also good beer on tap....great looking hotel and superb food! Will be back when in the area as better value than chain hotels/resturants

Couldn't fault the restaurant or the staff. Quality food, great selection, well priced and superb service. Highly recommended and make sure you try next time you're in the vicinity, you will not be disappointed!

Visited with my wife on a spur of the moment Wednesday evening. The staff were amazing especially Sam who managed to squeeze us in with no notice. Food was amazing and service outstanding. Would definitely recommend! Lovely garden terrace too

Have been here on numerous occasions now with friends and family. It has a nice ambience about the place. The waitresses are always very helpful and friendly and very knowledgable about the menu. The steak is delicious as is the pizza and the tapas menu is also very good. Would highly recommend this place for a snack or meal. 5*

Friends recommended Azure restaurant to me and I was not disappointed.......the food is fab, and the flavours divine. The restaurant itself is very different from anything else in Luton and surrounding areas, the staff are great very helpful funny and make you feel like you are so very welcome. The gin and cocktails are a bonus aswell......this is my summer 2017 place to eat and have pre evening drinks......so glad I found it.

We were advised to attend this restaurant by friends. It did not disappoint. Azure ensured that we were supplied with great tasting, good priced food. Our waitress Nicola was funny and approachable without invading our space. She talked us through the menu and recommended dishes to suit our dietary needs and particular tastes. It was a great night - food, atmosphere and company. The gun bar is a must. I am now converted!

Came down to Luton for a family doo with a few relatives who live in this town. I Dined at this lovely Vici style Hotel/ Mediterranean restaurant. Food was absolutely smashing and so was the service. A lovely, tall lad and a lovely woman who were polite as a Bee...lol. I highly recommend this little gem of Luton. I think I'll have to see the relatives this holiday to visit you again Azzure ;)

I find it really hard sometimes to find an amazing place to eat in Luton. But me and my uni friends really love to visit Azure! The food, atmosphere and cocktails are greate! The customer service isn't forced and it's polite friendly and helps to create a relaxing vibe! I recommend azure to all my friends. And when my family visit me from Bristol I always take them to azure for amazing tapas!!!! MAKE IT YOUR FIRST CHOICE XX

Excellent food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Real value for money, would definitely recommend.

I Had been recommended this restaurant by my family who were so impressed with the service.they did not disappoint in fact it passed more that my expectation not only was the foodsuperb along with the ambience the staff are very friendly and gives a very caring and friendly feel .to the place. that you could visit on your own and feel welcome and comfortable. i will be returning very soon.

I stayed in Luton for the weekend with my Uncle and his family and we decided to visit this restaurant on a Saturday night. Brasserie Azure was the perfect choice. We had an absolute amazing time. We dined in the attractive Moroccan Lounge. It has a fireplace to give a calming atmosphere. We were greeted respectfully and the service was very good. There is plenty of choice on the menu, both for individual and sharing plates. I personally love seafood and can honestly say that the mussels tasted lovely. For dessert, I had warm waffles with ice cream and maple syrup and it was very delicious. I will definitely come here to dine again. A member of staff was happy to take to a picture of all of us when required. Overall, this is definitely one of best restaurants I have visited in Luton and would highly recommend it to anyone that are celebrating a special occasion.

Loved my birthday meal, the staff were amazing, the food exceptional, highly recommend a visit. We had tapas and had various dishes which were varied, hot and so nice. We asked to pay £15 per head and the amount of food we were served was worth much more. If you haven't been you need to go!

First time of eating in here but will go back .So much choice on the menu just as well that the waitress talks you through it The service was excellent and a bonus was a nice fire . I do recommend the chicken satay and the peanut sauce had a bit of bite to it chicken fajitas were good shame I couldnt manage a dessert but they did look good.

We love the Azure and visit frequently. The food is amazing especially the Tapas. The ambience and staff are great too!

I have eaten here many times with partner, family and friends always have had a great meal with excellent service and atmosphere

A group of three of us visited on a Monday evening. The atmosphere was relaxed, great that the open fire was on. We were greeted by our waitress who explained the menu, and gave us tips on how we could use it. There is great flexibility on the menu allowing for sharing or individual dishes as well as great variety in the food on offer. We decided on one course of three tapas dishes each. The food arrived in good time and looked great. Taste did not disappoint, the potato bravas stood out. I'm gutted I haven't been before but will definitely be back. Monday's seem to be best for walk ins. The nicest touch was that we were allowed to take our time, no other diners hovering over the table apparently even on the busiest nights this is the case. The best bit was the bill great value considering the quality of food and service.

We ate here on a Thursday evening and were well impressed with the friendly efficient service. Fillet steak served on a hot stone for you to finish to your liking. There was a great atmosphere and several birthday parties present. The Thursday night steak night is very good value at £14.95 per head. Would definitely recommend.

Love to eat here regularly and is one of my favourites. Really enjoy the tapas with a beer or two! If you haven't discovered it yet, you must try!

We have been eating here regularly over the last year or so and cannot recommend the food enough, I can't say what my favourite dish is as it's all excellent!!The staff are wonderful, warm and friendly making each time a truely lovely experience. Would recommend to anybody.

What a fantastic place....The food is amazing and the staff are great and extremely helpful!!!The menu is great and there is an awesome choice....

I recently visited brasserie azure for their Thai banquet on a Wednesday and having eaten the tapas here regularly I can highly recommend the food and the service is excellent well worth a visit if you are in the area!!

Love the food, and the staff are wonderful ! Variety on the menu and also deserts are lush and great atmosphere!!

Brilliant lovely food great atmosphere and our waitress sam was amazing the tapas and check out the gin bar well worth the visit

We have been to the Leaside quite a few time's to eat, the food is always perfect, the service is excellent the waiters are always polite and lively. The tapas menu is great to share and try new food, the Wednesday special's are to die for. Further more I love my Gin so with the new Gin Snug bar this makes it a perfect place to eat and drink. The restaurant is always busy only means one thing ....that the food is good!

I have eaten here on several occasions and often recommend the restaurant to friends. Met up with friends on the 08/10 for dinner and as usual the food was beautiful. Our waiter on the other hand was extremely rude for most of the evening and it had almost seemed that he had taken a dislike to our table. Nearing the end of the evening our check/bill was dumped on our table and we were abruptly told that he was going home. The restaurant was still pretty full at this point and so at no point had we overstayed our welcome.I would still highly recommend the restaurant and the food but I will be wary the next time I book.

I recommend the TAPAS MENU. When booking, the restaurant will design menu to suit guest requirements

Nice chill place to eat.Great customer experience.Food quality was FAB and great value for money.Interior decor was very modern with a slight rustic feel .Haven't been to the Thai Wednesday but aim to soon.Best regards.Dil

We all enjoyed your delicious food and the evening was everything we hoped it would be. Thank you so much! Great service, great food and great value for money. We recommend our friends and families too!

Friendly service but slightly slow, lovely food, good drink selection, although more real ales on tap could be added.

Decided to have a Thursday night treat with my husband our boys and a girlfriend. We decided on the Tapas menu. The waitress was lovely so helpful and very friendly as we have never done this before she was brilliant. We all decided on three dishes each as we all wanted to try different things. It all arrived and displayed on the table in front of us, it look amazing and it didn't disappoint. We all enjoyed it very much. We were completely stuffed at the end. Highly recommend. Other people in the restaurant were eating steak and tuna steak which you cooked yourself on hot stones. Looked delicious it certainly smelt lovely. Defiantly try that next. I also had a special gin drink which was lush. It's a shame we didn't take a photo.

We chose Brasserie Azure for my grand daughter's birthday on a Monday evening and we loved it. The food was first class. We chose a charcuterie board and a cheese board, calamari, cheese parcels, squeaky cheese and prawns in tomato sauce. Flat bread and olive bread with chilli olives, sweet chilli dip, mayo and sour cream dips. The food covered two tables so even though we selected tapas size there was more than enough. The home made liver pate was exceptional. Great for pizza lovers with size A4 and A3 pizzas! The service was unobtrusive but friendly. I think this will become our restaurant of choice as it was excellent value for money. Can't wait for the summer evenings to sit out on the terrace.The room next door was Moroccan themed which will be tried out soon.

What a lovely hidden gem in Luton. From the outside looks like a regular hotel but once inside you are moved to a Spanish tapas bar and feel. Nice staff and helpful with the menu.Food was amazing and such a good choice. Would go back there without a doubt.

The Moroccan Room was the ideal place for our Mother's birthday. The Staff were very good and attentive, food was top rate, the portions are generous, great night out, give it a try! We certainly will be back.

We had a late mothering day outing on last Saturday at Leaside Hotel restaurant, Brasserie Azure, and once again found an excellent service and good menu and fabulous food!All staffs seem to very friendly and welcoming which is very important specially when you’ve young children’s in your party!Excellent location too! Loved it!

We've just returned to our local hotel after a lovely evening here. We arrived early where the menu was limited due to the football being on but were told That the main menu would be available later. We decided to have some smaller tapas items until we could order our mains of the larger menu and the staff were so accommodating with this. Food absolutely delicious and a lovely atmosphere and decor. Very reasonably priced, fab service and we would and will recommend to anyone visiting Luton

10/10 food was amazing and beautifully presented. Generous portion size and the tapas part of the new menu is an amazing idea. Would recommend everytime

Fab patio in summer to have lunch in summer and cosy inside in winter. Great tapas ! Lovely for weddings etc . Close to town but with out the noise. Great bar food and great restaurant. Also has secure off road parking .

Whilst staying at the leaside hotel we visited the azure restaurant, as we was very unsure never been to a Mediterranean restaurant and never done tapas. The waitresses couldn't of been more of a help explaining the menu to us and recommendations was perfect. I felt the waitresses really went out of there way to make sure your evening was perfect. The steak was recommended by the owner of the hotel and he was spot on!! The best steak I have ever had! A very unique style of cooking which works perfectly. Will definitely be returning to the restaurant with friends and family and colleagues.

Excellent tapas menu, reasonably priced and plentiful quantity.The ambience at the hotel is great and very relaxing. HIghly recommended.

Been a few times now! Watched games, drank beer and ate a pizza! Chilled atmosphere and very friendly staff! Even ordered a take away pizza! The first they missed a couple of extra ingredients we had asked but they made up for this relatively small disappointment in a big way! thank you for your great customer service skills!!!

Went with a group of work colleagues for a leaving do, and all enjoy our food.Good value, great tasting food. Waitress was excellent, could advise on all the meals we were ordering and what complimented each meal when ordering tapas.

Been visiting Leaside now for the past 10 year or so, on a 2 to 3 weekly basis. Food is excellent, staff very friendly. Highly recommend.

peculiar tapas style food of dubious quality served in a rather awful room re decor. Service was ok but steak was fatty and not as advertised. left hungry!

I went with a group of 10 people and we ordered a mixture of starters to share. I eat fish not meat and tried all the fish options. Absolutely lovely ! My colleagues were happy with all of it. Staff were very attentive and friendly. The main courses were also very tasty ! Too full for pudding, so can't comment!

Booked through the taste card website that offers discounts to card holders. When I presented the card a t the end of our meal I was told that they do not accept this card . Very disappointed. We only chose this place because it was advertised on the taste card website.I had been to this restaurant many years ago and it was very nice . However the restaurant is more like a cafe, nothing special. The outside grounds are very impressive pretty picturesque lots of flowers. Should have eaten in the bar area as it represented the class of the rest of the building . The pizza was very nice however I won't be dining here again.they advertise posh pizza but the restaurant is far from posh . The waitress sweet and very nice , manager door host could have dealt with the situation better. We left unhappy and a table of 6 left before they ate as they didn't like the restaurant or the piece of paper that was like a take away menu.

We went here last Friday evening, table of 4. Incredibly impressed with the whole evening, the enthusiasm of our waitress, Lauren (hope I got the name right), the amazing tapas and great value. Lauren was very passionate about the venue, the food and providing perfect service, explaining the format of the tapas menu and making sure we didn't over order and waste food or money. Thanks for a great evening, look forward to returning again soon.

Fantastic food and great friendly service. More food than we could eat and at very reasonable prices.

Having ate here before and recommended that we eat here this particular night I was extremely disappointed that the meals weren't great. Duck pizza very dry. The fillet steak was more like sirloin. Def not fillet and already cooked slightly before sending out for us to cook on stone. Odd!! Chips were like warm. Didn't appear to be enough staff to check diners as there was a party. Shame.....will try again Nd hope this was an 'off night'.

Went here for my birthday, tapas food was lovely but the attitude of the waitress was appalling!!! She told us all that we had to keep the same plates that we had used for our starter for our main as it would mean more work washing them up!! We made her give us clean plates she pulled a face and mumbled something under her breath. My sister ordered a pizza (they recommend their pizza's) pizza came out very soggy and did not have any taste to it.....we complained to the waitress who argued that the pizza was fine and that's the way the chef makes it.....no apology. The bar staff who cleared our table were polite girls and had no issue with them just this one waitress who seemed to be head waitress or bar manager. We really enjoyed the food (apart from pizza) and I would go back again BUT only if they got rid of the rude waitress.

They bought out softplay toys for our kids and the food was amazing. The staff were so helpful keeping the kids happy

Initial looks at the menu left us uninspired however with the arrival of the food we were pleasantly surprised. The sea food platter to share had a good mix of intersting sea food cooked on a grill giving it an authentic bbq taste. Main course wa sirloin steak werved with a hot stone, a little unusual as the steak was already cooked rare. It gave a pl3asant twist on a conventional course. Service was good if a little rushed.

Went here on a Friday evening and have to say I will be going back! The food is absolutely gorgeous, the service excellent, and it is also really good value for money. Beware of over ordering - we had 3 of the tapas dishes and could eat no more...! The only thing to note is that last food orders are at 9.30 pm so if you are a late eater it is not for you. I thoroughly recommend this place.

Booked a meal at Brasserie Azure for myself and 3 friends. From start to finish it was brilliant! The surroundings and atmosphere were lovely. Nicola was excellent at explaining the menu to us and the service could not have been better. When the food arrived it was delicious (paella and chicken shishlick in particular were amazing!) couldn't fault any of it. All in all we had a brilliant night and will definitely return!

We ate at the brasserie several times whilst we stayed at the hotel for nine weeks whilst between houses. The tapas selection is awesome and of the highest quality, whilst the 'posh pizzas' are enormous - a small one would easily be sufficient for two rugby players. The rest of the menu is excellent, with burgers, steaks and excellent curries also available. The bar does a weekday 'Happy Hour' from 4pm - 7pm with 20% off drinks prices.What really stands out at the Leaside is the staff - they are a wonderful group of ladies and the place has a really friendly, family buzz about it.

We were looking for somewhere new to try and on the off chance, having read a review in a local restaurant guide and then TripAdvisor [although a little difficult to find reviews specific to the brasserie on TA] we decided to try this Tapas brasserie in a Luton hotel. We live fairly local but had not heard of this restaurant. Having said that, “restaurant” is perhaps the wrong description, the eating place is really a relatively small conservatory with a room attached, it can seat probably about a maximum of 15-20 people; this is not a criticism but a fact. We were impressed though with the décor and the feel of the hotel; didn’t feel like a central Luton hotel. It has its own secure car park at the end of a No Through Road; don’t be put off by the approach, but be aware of a long flight of steps from the car park to the hotel entrance. Most Saturday nights they have a private function so the hotel is busy and bustling with people but this doesn’t intrude into the brasserie. The greeting at the hotel and the server in particular was second to none. She was very enthusiastic about the food on offer, giving us a very detailed explanation of the menu in front of us, very friendly and attentive. It is what it says on the tin; Mediterranean tapas food, pizza’s and cook your own steaks. Despite waiting a while for the food; some complication in the kitchen, when it did arrived it was very well presented, good quality, delicious and value for money. Yes we’d return as it was something a little different to most eating places.

Visited the brasserie because they have a tapas menu and I both enjoy tapas and find it a very sociable way of eating with friends. Tapas in the UK seldom lives up to the Spanish experience and this was no different but it was pleasant non the less. A selection of cold dishes to share to kick things off. Marinated olives, humous and pesto all served with flat breads. Tasty and plentiful though I must say that pesto is an odd thing to serve as a dip. Selection of hot dishes next, spicy sausage, sardines, calamari and chicken shaslik. 2 out of 4 worth ordering again, calamari was poor as was the sausage. Pizzas to round the evening off. Huge but for me, too much of the wrong sort of cheese and not enough topping. Quite sickly to be honest. Wouldn't order again.The brasserie itself is quite small and was quiet on the night we ate. Service was excellent. Very friendly staff. Been back since and tried the bar menu. Decent burgers.

Sampled the tapas menu and pizza ahead of our forthcoming wedding.The food was very tasty and the calamari was surprising as I never tried it before and I was pleasantly surprised with how nice it was

Delicious food and great service! Thank you! Always happy to come back. You have to try the tapas menu - something for everyone.

Went for Valentines eve dinner with my Boyfriends. It was a lovely experiences starting with not being busy for that evening. We dined in a very quaint conservatory with a beautiful fire place. The waitress was welcoming and helped us deciding on the food whilst giving us complementary drinks at the end. The sizes of food for the prices you get are fantastic and low for the quality and quantity that you receive. Furthermore, I was pleased with that you can cook your own steaks that was a great surprise. They also provide boxes and containers to take food home. Definitely coming back after finding out that they use the taster card and its 50% off food.

We had a great tapas meal as a family of 11 people (from 2 years plus) across three generations, to celebrate a fortieth birthday, and received excellent service from planning beforehand to the meal itself.The food was fresh, tasty, very nicely displayed and there was plenty for everyone, and an opportunity to take some home.We had the conservatory room to ourselves, with a welcome fire - it all added up to a lovely family occasion.Thanks again to all the staff.

Enjoyed the food and service at the Brasserie during our recent stay at the Leaside. Food was cooked fresh, tasty and portions were huge!

Dined here with a group for Christmas, we chose the cheaper tapas menu and there was a couple of us with dietary requirements so wasn't sure how we would get on. No worry though, the food was excellent, unbelievable value and service was terrific. Those with needs had them catered for extremely well including myself. I will be back here for a meal in the new year.
