Refreshing, strong, plentiful... the best. The loaded hashbrowns were okay - the potatoes were a bit undercooked and cheese sauce served it's purpose I guess but the bacon was perfect, the right amount, fried to perfection, and honestly the saving grace of the meal. Every single person enjoyed their drinks and we loved sitting outside to people watch while chit chatting. I would get the spritz again, for sure!

Good breakfast spot with friendly service and solid food overall…read more I had the eggs benedict and Matt ordered the full breakfast. The eggs were cooked properly, the flavours were good, and everything tasted fresh. Staff were accommodating when he asked to swap the black pudding and even added an extra sausage, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a nice place to sit and enjoy breakfast. The only downside was that the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price, so value could be better. Overall though, a nice breakfast spot and somewhere I'd happily return.

First proper meal (non travel) in UK and it was a great way to start. The restaurant is cute and…read moreservice is friendly. For drinks, I ordered a Bill's IPA and my husband got a double expresso. Both were good. For dinner, I ordered crispy salmon, which was the Wednesday special. It was cooked perfectly, with a flavorful, crisp top but still moist and juicy. It had a potato pancake side and broccoli. I enjoyed this a lot! My husband ordered a pigs n blanket Mac and cheese from their Christmas menu. This was also really good. It had sausage, bacon slices, died cranberries and bread crumbs in the warm mac and cheese. It was rich, but tasted sophisticated. We were too full for desserts, but the menu sounded great. Maybe another visit just for dessert Update - went back a few days later for just dessert and wow! Bumped this up from 4 to 5 stars. The lemon meringue dessert was the bomb!! The rubharb apple crisp was also really good.

Vegetarian indian, take away or eat in, smells unbelievable when you head in…read more Frankly, prepare yourself for a food coma, great food, and good value. We pretty much filled our table, unintentionally, I may add, and struggled to work our way through. It's really tempting to over order, and although it's best not to completely fatten yourself up, they do box up what you don't have, the selection is huge, and the staff are perfectly lovely. I expect this place is probably best with a big group of you, so you can order a huge varied list and have a little bit of each, then however, you will have to fight over who gets the leftovers! Would go again.

Last time I visited it took longer than that so the staff happily gave us free lunch vouchers for next time. I recently went to use those and the staff was very nice and friendly when we brought them up to the counter. We got the breaded chicken burger as that is halal. Sides included skinny chips, thick chips, simple salad, and coleslaw. Definitely would come back!

Anyone in hospitality will tell you that when you take a drinks order, you serve the drinks. You…read moredon't wait for food to be ready, you don't wait for August. You just serve the drinks. Ten minutes later, comes the beer. That needs a fixin. Now, a burger is a kind of sandwich. A sandwich is something you can pick up with one hand and eat while reading a map. I got a cramp in my face trying to get my mouth around this thing. I had to eat this thing with a knife and fork. The bun was superfluous. It was tasty otherwise, though the 'onion rings' in the burger came apart long before they were cooked, leaving streaks of batter within the burger. They're perhaps best left as a side. The chips/fries here are a fail. The nothingness of the skinny fries or the pale not quite crispness of the chunky fries don't leave much of a dilemma. I avoid. As is par for the course in a restaurant that narrowly misses the mark, the service is mostly excellent; the staff is warm and friendly. That is worth the visit. Otherwise, some quality-control is needed.

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.

My pet peeve has to be missing the last breakfast order on a Sunday. Which is almost inevitable…read morewhen you're in a different city attempting to discover somewhere new. Cue the Bean Caffe. Located in Friar Gate Studios, Derby. It's a near miss - in fact, we drove past it twice before we had the 'AHA - IT'S THERE' moment! *Caps necessary as if I remember rightly, I let out a rather loud squeal upon our discovery... Aside from it's high-rankings, awards and even décor - What I loved most about the Bean Caffe is the fact it's owned and managed by mother and daughter - Sarah and Liv. They have perfected the art of ALL things breakfast (or brunch in my case) and offer a range of favourites from Eggs Benedict to Toasted Banana Sandwiches. I opted for the 'Smashed Avocado': Toasted Sourdough topped with avocado, poached eggs and a shake of hot Sriracha Sauce. SO delicious and for just £5.50 an absolute bargain.

Very nice addition to the Highcross and the best burger I've had in Leicester. At £7-£10 for the…read moreburgers and £4.25 for the milkshakes it's also cheaper than a lot of the alternatives. We went on the opening night with the Burger Club free burger offer, so that may have biased me a little bit, but I loved it. The decor is minimalist but kinda fun, and despite the high ceilings the place is not as loud as you would expect. The burger meat was good and more importantly, it was cooked just how I ordered it (medium rare). I had the Byron, which comes with streaky American bacon, among the most authentic I've had since coming to the UK. I also recommend the Chilli burger if you like hot food, it's served with sliced green chillies and a chipotle sauce, and was very tasty. The onion rings were a bit greasy to my taste but the skin on chips were very good, as were the appetizer tortilla chips (a nice change from the Doritos everywhere else seems to serve) and the guacamole and salsa were both nice and fresh. The only other appetizer available beside the tortilla chips is olives, which are nice enough but oddly out of place. They serve A&W root beer, which while not my top choice in the US is still nicer than many. My boyfriend got the Oreo shake, which was nice and thick and very good as well. The brownie was very good and served warm with vanilla ice cream on top and the white chocolate cheesecake was also tasty, creamy and not nearly as sweet as cheesecakes have a tendency to be.

Zomgomgomg! Proper burgers have escaped London and are heading north!…read more Having been to Byron in both Bloomsbury and Covent garden on several occasions, I knew what to expect and was pleased to see that Byron has made the journey north without losing any of its quality and variety. This is a very welcome addition to Leicester Highcross, and is right next door to John Lewis for maximum accessibility. I love the rough-hewn, rustic, warehouse industrial-style decor with it's exposed AC ducting and wooden beams. The staff appear to be quick and efficient on first impressions, but do double-check your order as it can be quite noisy and you wouldn't want to be delivered a Peroni when you asked for a Dead Pony! There's a good variety of drinks including a really sour fresh lemonade and decent milkshakes. Beers and bourbons are well represented and there are several very nice craft beers of varying styles. And the food? Yes. Have it! Come! It's very, very good. But still quite a large portion. You do not need fries each as one just stretches between two. But you should skip the normal fries and try the courgette fries - they're very nice! Burgers are lovely sweet, juicy patties of quality meat. But please, don't spoil them by having them well done? A good burger should be cooked medium or ideally med-rare. Just ask for how you like it, they will do it. A look out for that juicy dill pickle too! Super tangy and crunchy, just how they should be. I can't fault this place after my first visit.
