We we're walking around st martins square when we noticed the nice little cafe/brunch place and…read morewalked in after recently hearing good things. One of the cafes employees even came out, noticing us checking out the menu, and told us about the place and what they had, which was the start of great service throughout my visit. The cafe had a wonderful environment and very nice staff. I tried both the Greek yoghurt pancakes and the Nutella with strawberries pancakes, both were presented amazingly and were delicious. Portion sizes were great with 3 thick pancakes each and a healthy portion of toppings. The pancakes were fluffy and light but still filling and overall the best pancakes I could ask for. Service was also very fast. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice breakfast. Warning: there is no English breakfast and apart from the pancakes the mainly specialise in egg dishes.

And are we glad we went to Ask...hell yehhhh! The menu has gotten so much nicer, so so many vegetarian and if I recall correctly vegan options too. Considering there were 5 adults and a child all of which are vegetarians we really were spoilt for choice. The service was great, the food was lovely and even the desserts were delicious. There was a rhubarb ravioli dessert which was interesting and worth a try if you have space!

The menu is good and affordable. They welcome children and do have a good kids menu. The staff have always been really friendly and helpful and make it a relaxing experience. We have always had really great meals here so I would definately recommend ASK.

I opted for a filter coffee (silly me), but others in our group had more interesting drinks. My husband and I shared a three cheese toastie with chips (fries). It was very good.

It also serves a variety of brunch food and sandwiches, even rotisserie chicken! Something many people don't know about is that it turns into a burger joint some nights a week. The burgers are great and well priced. Definitely recommend everyone to try this place out.

On our first full day in the UK (from US), we wanted an authentic English meal. After sleeping in…read morefrom the time change, we ate around 1pm. The place is very quaint. The tables downstairs are a little too close for my liking. We went upstairs and found a cute window table, overlooking the alley below. We started with a pot of tea and debated the large menu for a while. I opted for the Caspian breakfast and my husband ordered the pork pie with a side of chips (fries). The presentation on both was great. I wanted to love the food, but it was just okay. The Caspian breakfast was a waffle with sweet cream cheese, topped with smoked salmon, poached eggs, caviar eggs and sliced avocado. The waffle and poached egg were cooked perfectly. I didn't care for the sweet cream cheese and ended up taking that off. The avocado looked pretty, but tasted underripe. It also came with toast. My husbands pork pie was okay. It tasted like a summer sausage in a flaky pastry. It came with a side salad with Stilton cheese and walnuts, which was also just okay. The server was very friendly and prices were reasonable. If I lived here, I would definitely try again, but I would order different foods.

As a foreigner when you think of an English breakfast or brunch experience what often comes to mind…read moreis the fairy tale inspired tea and toast enjoyed in a quaint bed and breakfast, and unfortunately this dream is often shattered when you realize that Starbucks, Cafe Nero, and Pret have more or less taken over the wonderful world of breakfast. Fear not - Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms has preserved the traditional quaintness of a B&B in a way that caters to anyone and everyone, and it's absolutely excellent. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Tucked away in a side alley, the location of Mrs. Bridges is as much a landmark as anything in Leicester, and once you step inside you'll understand why. The most comfortable of settings includes various tea rooms on two levels as well as an outdoor seating area that I was able to enjoy on what was a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. It was crowded at 1030, but I was still able to have a seat right away and service didn't lag. I can't stress enough how fantastic the atmosphere at Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms is, and loved that even school age children seemed to really enjoy and appreciate it along with the expected adult crowd. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? £6.50 is a beautiful price for French toast with bacon and maple syrup with a pot of tea for an additional £1.85. As you can see in the picture my portion was hearty and I was more than satisfied at the end of the day with what would have easily cost me £12 in London. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? I'm not entirely sure whether the atmosphere or the fact that it was a beautiful day just made everything taste better, but my french toast was amazing even while being as simple as can be. There was nothing fancy here but there didn't need to be, and I noticed as I was sitting down that a steady stream of people were coming in for sandwiches to go that everyone was raving about (and kudos for having special sandwiches that rotate). There are some meals that you really can't even put a finger on with respect to what makes it so good, and this was one of those meals. Dual Stars Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Mrs. Bridges Tea Rooms is a well known Leicester establishment whose appeal could possibly be bottled and expanded, but for now it's a brilliant gem in the center of England that I'd gladly visit daily. Star Granted.

In my own humble opinion, Cafe Bruxelles is a sophisticated joint with a jazz pulse…read more The premises used to be a bank, and the owners infused the old stuffy building with a 1930's film noir soul that is both elegant and captivating to the senses. Picture high arches, frescoes and subtle lighting. Service is brisk, European even and prices are surprisingly keen. Large selection of imported lagers (i.e. strong) and a continental menu. The mussels are particularly good in here. I always make a stop in here as it is one of Leicester's mature night spots and a classy place to enjoy a drink.

Popped in to sample a 'hilda's salad box' at £2.99 & was amazed by the choice & how much they put in....well worth the money considered that a tesco salad box is about £2.20 & nowhere near as fresh & tasty!...2 extra cobs were 20p each...brill! The cafe does lots more in the way of food & drink & good hot meals are cooked too..there's too much to mention on here! The cafe isn't the biggest but that's not a problem as it's never usually crowded... Staff are very polite & nothing is too much bother for them....you can tailor your meal to how YOU want it...not how it's set on a menu! overall i give this cafe full marks because of friendliness, cleanliness & value for money It also has a 5* cleanliness grade

Date of Visit: 30/1/26 (Friday)…read more With my wife and grandchildren (2). Bill: Pre-Snack Meal (poppadoms - and tray) Quite a different selection of "Pops" - £5.89 - Realy enjoyed. 3 x Kozhi Kurumulagu - £15.89 each - £47.67 Boneless chicken, cooked in a black pepper based sauce with onion, ginger, garlic and turmeric. Everyone enjoyed. 1 x Seafood Biriyani - £19.95 Rice, prawns (only 3), king fish (2 small pieces), Mussels (none) and Squid (none). Really tasty sauce with a bit of spicy kick. This had been recommended to me by a work colleague. I didn't mention the missing items at the time as I was with my grandchildren. In hindsight, I should have done. 1 x bottle Viognier - £31.75 - Good wine and well chilled, with a proper ice bucket. Bill Total - £113.51 All the staff were very friendly and attentive. Nice ambiance. There evening service starts at 18:00, but we arrived just before that time and they were open and other customers were already eating. I would return, but I'd mention the missing items about the seafood biriyani. Apart from that I'd order it again as I loved the flavours.

The lobby is a five story open atrium with clusters of seating at small tables and a few sofas, while the restaurant has bar stools, banquettes, and tables. They have a quick snacks and appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, and larger plates, salads and desserts. They also offer a breakfast menu including "grab & go" for those on the run. Service is attentive. As expected, guests are usually staying to the hotel, but could be a good option for a business meeting over drinks, or a full meal. Internet access is available. Full bar menu is also available with a few beers on tap and a limited selection of wines. The atrium lounge can be noisy, but seating is comfortable and casual.

If there is one thing I can say about Zizzi's is that if you lack any sort of imagination about…read morewhere's nice to take a date (I know I do), then this is a safety shot of cricket proportions. Nice interior - all stacked logs, spacious seating and wine racks up against the walls. Nice open kitchen too, where you can see the chefs at work preparing your food, you feel instantly at ease. If you do amble in here I recommend the Calzone, with a dashing of the chilly oil, for a mouthwatering meal of hearty proportions. Eating for the two of you, with starters and mains, should average out at around £30, so you'll have plenty in the wallet to continue the date afterwards. Good selection of salads and plenty of Italian dishes to sample. Worth a visit.

Service was great, we had two female waitresses and they were fab until we ordered dessert. We…read moreordered a cheesecake and a chocolate torte. The latter was delicious however the former was almost like a dry crumbly piece of rock. It didn't taste anything like a cheesecake and tasted like it had gone off. So we informed the male waiter about this and to our surprise he said "well what do you want me to do, I didn't make it!" We were gobsmacked. Not what you'd expect from Zizzis. He eventually changed it for the blackberry and white chocolate summer special cheesecake which actually tasted like one and didn't crumble to pieces when you tried to cut a piece. Unfortunately the waiter had no filter hence the 3 stars, this restaurant is a lot quieter than it used to be since the branch at highcross opened up so you'd expect the service to be spot on in order to retain customers. ‍
