3/3/17 - Booked for 12 noon…read more We arrived a bit early by 15 minutes, and found someone, but was quite brusquely told that they didn't open until 12 noon. I said we hadn't got anywhere else to go as visiting Leicester for another purpose, and could we just take a seat and wait. Well, the door would have been closed if it hadn't been for maintenance work being carried out, we were told...... Not a good start. However, sat at a table for two.... Just mention that we've visited Bistrot Pierre several times in Birmingham, and also in Torquay, so we are somewhat "anciens patrons". Plus several stamps on the loyalty card.. So what did we have? Initial drinks: 175ml - Dry white wine for my wife - £3.95 Becks Blue for me - £2.95 Presented with some warm bread and (unsalted) butter - FOC. My wife had two courses - £10.95 Starter Pate & Chicken/Truffle Main I had three courses - £16.95 Whitebait for the starter with a garlic mayonnaise - Plenty of whitebait. The rump steak main (a supplement of £3.95) - which I found to be rather tough and grisly. (Also ordered a glass of 175ml Malbec - £6.50) Sweet - Crème Brulee - Which is always good. My wife felt that the ambiance of the Birmingham restaurant is better. Staff were friendly that eventually served us (not the person who greeted us). The food came at a steady pace. All reasonably priced menu. Wines can be a bit pricey. Turns out to be my son's favourite restaurant in Leicester.

A very good and well priced French restaurant in central Leicester, located just up the road from…read morethe Town Hall Square. Menu is fairly mainstream, but food is well prepared, and it offers an extremely well priced Menu Gastronomique typically two evenings per month. The service has always been very good, and deserves particular commendation for the willingness to adapt even the notionally fixed Menu Gastronomique if dinners have particular needs.

City Centre

If you're familiar with popular astronomy concepts, you might appreciate the following statement:…read moreKendells Bistro exists almost wholly within the Goldilocks Zone of the restaurant universe, a phenomenon that's expected to be possible, but only encountered an infinitesimally small fraction of the time. The restaurant's interior is cosy and charming, dark and candlelit. It borders on being romantic, but doesn't take itself so seriously that it'll dissuade diners who aren't coming in as a couple. Its location is central, but not -in- the city centre. A mere handful of minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Briggate and Leeds' shopping meccas, one can readily walk to this bistro, but it's offset enough to deter the masses. And during the early evening hours (I believe from opening time until 2000 the night we visited), you can take advantage of their 2-course, 3-course, or 3-course and a half bottle of wine offers for between £17-25; it's a bargain, no matter how you slice it. The only thing that's absolutely excessive is the portion size for each of the dishes. My salad with rich, hearty bacon chunks and a perfectly poached egg on top was enough to sate my hunger. Then, when the cassoulet main arrived, I got -maybe- halfway through it before deciding I was completely stuffed. The cassoulet (featuring duck leg, sausage, -and- pork loin) was hearty and richly flavoured. By itself, it was a monstrous serving. That's ignoring the delightfully piped and plated potato mash, carrot mash, and mounded broccoli. From start to finish, I couldn't think of a single thing to improve about the experience. Kendells was readily the most noteworthy dining experience I've had in Leeds yet, and ranks highly amongst any gastronomic adventure I've embarked upon throughout Europe, generally!

if you go here, make sure you try the Supreme de Volialle L`Estragon. It's a really lovely dish…read morethat is part of the tea time menu. As they state 'Everything stops for tea.' The menu is priced at £21.95 - if you include half a bottle of wine into the menu (which of course, you will!) and you can pick from starters like, Gratin Lyonnaise, Saumon Marine A' la Aneth and Pate Maison. The mains consist of; Porc Boulangere, Confit Du Canard, Saumon en Croute and the likes. One of the best parts is of course dessert...pick from Petit Pot au Chocolate, Tarte aux Citron, Creme Brulee and Fromage. Nobody does Creme Brulee like the French so I'd recommend this! This is a great place to go before going to the theatre to see a show or even just to kick back and relax after a hard week.
