The best restaurants serving British food in Leicester East Midlands

Another fantastic time at Taste Restaurant within Leicester College. There was an amazing choice for the lunch time menu for the four of us.. Everyones choice was delicious, presented beautifully & a very high standard. We loved everything but I would like to specially mention the panna cotta, it was the best. The staff are so friendly, happy, polite & smart. The table was set lovely, top marks to everyone on the day. Always a pleasure to visit , looking forward already to our next lunch, which is very soon.

El lugar era acogedor, cálido, amable y caritativo. Es genial ver un lugar local al servicio de la gente local. Mi interés sería ver que cada comunidad a nivel nacional tenga un servicio como este deseándoles lo mejor.

we have visited Coffee Maison Leicester now for the 3rd time and each time we visit our experience has always been excellent. Coffee Maison always make us feel very welcome. A small cosy place just perfect with great food from panini to pizza and absolutely love their pancakes. Keep up the great work and thank you for your great service !

Unassuming traditional industrial park canteen but so much more. Lovely salads, fresh fish, clean and very reasonably priced. Tables down either side seating four and a loo to boot.

Great food, lovely service just what you need to start your day! X

Good food. Good ambience. Friendly staff.

A very warm and welcoming place , staff are always polite and are willing to go the extra mile in order to satisfy all coustomers, There is a range of tasty dishes on the menu , we would reccomend scampi and chips or the full english breakfast. Extremely good value . and very clean

Been to Bistrolive a few times over the years, staff are always upbeat and friendly, lots of personality. Always have a good time, a good laugh and it’s lovely catching up with friends. The night is broken up well; arrival, menu & drink ordering, eating, quiz, dancing, lots of photo opportunities. This year just seemed a bit lacking in sparkle; the food isn’t as good as it used to be (I’m a foodie) there was no dessert ‘trio’ instead two little puds that were synthetic in taste (I work in a cake shop so could tell a huge difference), starter and main were nice enough but not wowing, I always enjoy the nacho tray on arrival- yummy! All this is fine though as for the cost of a ticket you get a full night. I would recommend to others even though I might not go again for a while and lastly - some of the music choices were rubbish, especially when you want to get your groove on, you should save the cr@p songs for the end of the night when you’re ready to close up shop!

had a lovely evening with two friends the food was top class atmosphere was brilliant service was also top class, have been to the Dove many times but we all agreed last night was the best yet thanks to Alec and the staff .

Hemos estado viniendo aquí por un tiempo, dentro y fuera. Sus bebidas son agradables, pero a veces sus productos son secos y no muy sabrosos, en particular no por cuánto cobran y su servicio al cliente no es bueno! Cuando entré, las mujeres detrás del mostrador solo miraban a su alrededor; sin sonrisas, sin bienvenida. Cuando mencioné lo que quería nadie me reconoció hasta el punto de que tuve que preguntar si necesitaba hablar con alguien específico, ya que parecía que estaba hablando con la pared. Cuando le pregunté qué era un tema en particular, ella respondió con tal actitud, que sentí que no debería haberme molestado en preguntar. Definitivamente no volveré, ya que espero un buen servicio al cliente no una actitud de "no puedo ser molestado". Me pregunto si mi vestido o color de piel influyó en su comportamiento porque lo he notado varias veces cuando lo he estado. ¡Todo es muy forzado y sientes que estás pisando cáscaras de huevo cuando todo lo que quieres es un pequeño placer! Esta visita me dio en el clavo del ataúd. También me aseguraré de avisar a los demás para evitarlo.

Insane chip shop. Fantastic food, great staff, quick service. It’s so good that even their awards don’t do them any justice!!

Brilliant place to come to. Rapid service treated like I was one of their own even after only being here once. 10/10 would come again.

Called in to enjoy Happy Hour drinks and pizza. The kitchen was on the verge of closing as we arrived, luckily they took our pizza order. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed happy hour drinks including 2 for 1 cocktails. When the food arrived it was fresh and delicious. We will definitely return next time we are in Leicester.

I recently dined at this place, and unfortunately, the experience fell considerably short of expectations. The starter featured a diminutive portion of salmon, approximately 20 to 30 grams, paired with a quarter of white toast and a few greens. While presentation had potential, the taste was disappointingly bland. For the main course, I was served a small serving of dry turkey accompanied by a meager amount of vegetables and what appeared to be a spoonful of pureed something—also underwhelming both in flavor and portion size. The dessert, a crème brûlée, further added to my disappointment with its uneven consistency, marked by an unpleasant amount of lumps rather than the silky texture one would anticipate. While the service was commendable, the overall quality of the food did not meet any reasonable standards and was not worth the price. I regret to say that I cannot recommend this establishment based on my experience.

I've had brunch here a few times and always enjoyed it. Today there were four of us: food & service were excellent. Highly recommend. Booking advised.
