Herb
96 Granby St, LeicesterLovely waiting staff. Gorgeous decor and ambience. The soups are fragrant, with an exacting balance of heat and flavour. These guys are certainly feeders. The level of food for the cost is fantastic. I tried many dishes I had not had before by ordering the Thali. The mushroom, cauliflower, and aubergine curries were my favourite. I am a meat eater and I have eaten at their sister restaurant (The Kayal). Both restaurants are of a high standard. Herb is definitely worth the visit even if you are a meateater. I probably do prefer The Kayal, but mainly because their fish curries are so amazing.

OGGI Italian Restaurant
161 London Rd, LeicesterThis was my 5th visit to Oggi, it was my first time taking the parents there as they were visiting.As ever, the food was great; on this front, Oggi remains the best Italian in Leicester and possibly in the whole Midlands, especially when you take value into account. The lasagne is still one of the best you'll find anywhere and it's great to see a place that doesn't step down in quality with its vegetarian options.The food is not matched by the service, which is not terrible but needs some work. Several waiters looked sullen, though the waiter who served our wine seemed more enthusiastic and was even happy to talk about the different wines they offer. Mixed bag there. The owner is...eccentric, but usually quite accommodating.I'll be back for the food and hope the service will be a little more polished/friendly next time. The bill came to £40 a head all in (for a starter and a main each plus a bottle of wine shard and a tip).

Veeno
Units 19 & 20, 9 St Martins, LeicesterHad a wine and nibbles experience here, never been before, in fact I wasn’t even aware of the place. What a great experience, marek and lene looked after us explaining what nibbles went with what wine and how it helps to bring out the flavours. Had an option of meat or vegan, we went for the meat option which had one glass of white wine (pinot Grigio) and two red (barbera and chianti). I’m not normally a fan of pinot, but it was really good with the food however my favorite was the barbera (never heard of it before) guess it’s a bit like a Rioja, as in a heavier red. in-fact it was so nice we ordered another glass after the experience was done. the main menu looked really good too, so we will definetly be back in future for a meal.

Costa Express
270 Melton Rd, LeicesterCosta Coffee is a British multinational coffeehouse company headquartered in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Whitbread. It is the second largest coffeehouse chain in the world behind Starbucks and the largest in the UK.[2] Costa Coffee was founded in London in 1971 by the Costa family as a wholesale operation supplying roasted coffee to caterers and specialist Italian coffee shops. Acquired by Whitbread in 1995, it has since grown to 3,401 stores across 31 countries. The business has 2,121 UK restaurants, over 6,000 Costa Express vending facilities and a further 1,280 outlets overseas (including 395 in China).[1][3] Contents [hide] 1 History 2 Operations 2.1 Locations 2.2 Costa Express 2.3 Coffee production 3 Costa Book Awards 4 See also 5 References 6 External links History[edit] Italian immigrant brothers Bruno and Sergio Costa founded a coffee roastery in Lambeth, London, in 1971, supplying local caterers. The family had moved to England in the 1960s.[4][5] Costa branched out to selling coffee in 1978, when its first store opened in Vauxhall Bridge Road, London. In 1985, Sergio bought out Bruno's share of the company. Bruno went on to found a tableware company.[6] By 1995, the chain had 41 stores in UK.[7] In 1995, the business was acquired by Whitbread, UK's largest hotel and coffee shop operator, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary. In 2009, Costa opened its 1,000th store in Cardiff. In December 2009, Costa Coffee agreed to acquire Coffee Heaven for £36 million, adding 79 stores in central and eastern Europe.[8] Operations[edit] Locations[edit] A Costa Coffee branch in Forster Square Retail Park, Bradford A standard Costa Coffee branch in Cyprus Costa Coffee operates 2,121 outlets in the United Kingdom as of May 2016. Internationally, it operates 1,280 stores throughout the world in 31 countries.[9] The first Costa store outside the UK opened in Dubai in 1999[10] and, in September 2017, was the first coffee shop worldwide to start delivering coffee via drones to customers sunbathing on Dubai beaches.[11] Costa Express[edit] Following Whitbread's £59.5m acquisition of Coffee Nation, a chain of coffee machines, the machines were re-branded as Costa Express.[12] The company plans to expand to target hospitals, universities and transport interchanges.[13] Coffee production[edit] Coffee served in a Massimo cup. Costa Coffee moved its own roastery from Lambeth to Basildon, Essex, in May 2017 with an investment of 38 millions pounds, increasing the roasting capacity from 11,000 to 45,000 tons of coffee beans per year.[14] Costa Coffee employs Gennaro Pelliccia as a coffee taster, who had his tongue insured for £10m with Lloyd's of London in 2009.[15][16] Costa Book Awards[edit] Main article: Costa Book Awards Costa Coffee has been the sponsor of the Costa Book Awards (formerly the Whitbread Book Awards) since 2006.[17]

Walkers Charnwood Bakery
200 Madeline Rd, LeicesterI had an extremely happy 25+ years career working at Charnwood Bakery.I started 1991 when the factory was quite new and so much smaller than it is now.I can remember the really old manual machines that were in place and the progression from them to the new age machines being introduced.I had the greatest, happiest and most proud career and I just wished that my daughters would be able to have a solid, secure and happy career like I had.I have a million wonderful memories and I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Sir David Samworth.I can remember how he would personally visit "pie palace" and he would remember us and genuinely greet us and talk to us about how things are and how are we.He really did have time for his workers and his mantra made that place a great place to be and work for.I can remember so many 16 year olds joining the company way back when and now they are still there with 30+ years experience and with great positions having worked their way up from level one to management etc.I met my wife at "pie palace" and many many great friends. I have nothing but respect, love and affection for Charnwood Bakery.Best wishes ?

Or if you can't manage that, they also have the A La Carte menu to choose from.Our meal starts with a couple of snacks followed by a beef fillet tartare served with a little brioche.Next up was cured salmon, slightly blow torched.Then it was Lamb belly with bread and butter.To follow was a very tasty stuffed chicken wing.Onto the main course where you have a choice of pork, beef, or cod. We chose the latter two options.Both served with Jerusalem Artichoke/ Potato/ BBQ Leek.There was a pre-dessert of lemon and wild berries sorbet with little crunchy meringue peices.Dessert was a very pretty rhubarb and ginger delight.The end of the meal is Petit Fours, which we had with a coffee.We had a very enjoyable Saturday evening.The staff were lovely and friendly, and we especially liked it when the chefs came out of the kitchen and served their dishes to your table.A return visit is a must.

Millies Cookie's Leicester Shires Walk
Highcross Shopping Centre, Upper Mall, LeicesterIf you want to eat something delicious with your coffee, I recommend Millie’s cookie. I decided to write this review because the service was great which is rare nowadays. Mrs. Agnieszka made me have a better day today. She was nice, smiling, great at describing new cookies that I had never tried. We even talked for a while and at the end I left with a bag of cookies recommended by the seller. Mrs Agnieszka, thank you. I can’t add photo becuase I ate them all ?

Huns
439a Welford Rd, LeicesterI recently enjoyed a vegan burger from Hun's in Leicester and was impressed with its quality. The burger was delicious, though I found it to be slightly oily for my taste. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be fantastic to see a healthier option on the menu, such as a salad and seitan burger. Offering this alternative could cater to customers looking for lighter, less oily meal choices. Overall, my experience was positive, and I look forward to seeing how the menu evolves.

Herb
96 Granby St, LeicesterLovely waiting staff. Gorgeous decor and ambience. The soups are fragrant, with an exacting balance of heat and flavour. These guys are certainly feeders. The level of food for the cost is fantastic. I tried many dishes I had not had before by ordering the Thali. The mushroom, cauliflower, and aubergine curries were my favourite. I am a meat eater and I have eaten at their sister restaurant (The Kayal). Both restaurants are of a high standard. Herb is definitely worth the visit even if you are a meateater. I probably do prefer The Kayal, but mainly because their fish curries are so amazing.

OGGI Italian Restaurant
161 London Rd, LeicesterThis was my 5th visit to Oggi, it was my first time taking the parents there as they were visiting.As ever, the food was great; on this front, Oggi remains the best Italian in Leicester and possibly in the whole Midlands, especially when you take value into account. The lasagne is still one of the best you'll find anywhere and it's great to see a place that doesn't step down in quality with its vegetarian options.The food is not matched by the service, which is not terrible but needs some work. Several waiters looked sullen, though the waiter who served our wine seemed more enthusiastic and was even happy to talk about the different wines they offer. Mixed bag there. The owner is...eccentric, but usually quite accommodating.I'll be back for the food and hope the service will be a little more polished/friendly next time. The bill came to £40 a head all in (for a starter and a main each plus a bottle of wine shard and a tip).

Veeno
Units 19 & 20, 9 St Martins, LeicesterHad a wine and nibbles experience here, never been before, in fact I wasn’t even aware of the place. What a great experience, marek and lene looked after us explaining what nibbles went with what wine and how it helps to bring out the flavours. Had an option of meat or vegan, we went for the meat option which had one glass of white wine (pinot Grigio) and two red (barbera and chianti). I’m not normally a fan of pinot, but it was really good with the food however my favorite was the barbera (never heard of it before) guess it’s a bit like a Rioja, as in a heavier red. in-fact it was so nice we ordered another glass after the experience was done. the main menu looked really good too, so we will definetly be back in future for a meal.
