Leicestershire Restaurant Guide

Prezzo - Leicester

Prezzo has been delighting diners for over seven years, and this Italian restaurant chain has since been able to expand throughout large parts of England with well over a hundred outlets. Interestingly, the company seeks to restore either impressive buildings or ones of local interest.

Queen's Head, The

Featured RestaurantBook Online

This handsome former alehouse has re-emerged as a well-run and welcoming gastropub within easy distance of Loughborough. Former habitués would hardly recognise the old place, with its smart to the point of chic furnishings, cool décor, altogether the sort of place that would fit in well to a metropolitan scene.

Red Lion Inn

Featured Restaurant

Another venture by the Rutland Inn Company, designed to bring first class local produce and British foods to a wider audience through the re-opening of village pubs that have closed their doors. The refurbishment at The Red Lion Inn has taken a look back to recreate the warm and welcoming atmosphere of a traditional British Inn with the result that those with happy memories of pubs the way they used to be are likely to be delighted.

The Hunting Lodge must have some of the finest panelling in these parts. I mention this merely because whilst we are here to discuss the cuisine, even the best of its kind is enhanced by some good background.

San Carlo - Leicester

Selected Restaurant

When one of the country's most respected and leading critics says that a restaurant in this group is 'the best Italian Restaurant outside London' it is time to take them seriously. Britain's love affair with Italian food is a cause celebre of long standing and shows no signs of waning, so it is always welcome news when somewhere like San Carlo sets out to reach for the skies.
