Leicester Restaurant Week returns

September 11th 2025

It’s double the flavour with two weeks of tasty deals and citywide eats

Calling all foodies! Leicester Restaurant Week (LRW) is back – and this year it’s bigger, better, and bursting with twice as much flavour. Running for two delicious weeks, from Monday 20 October to Sunday 2 November, there will be even more time to experience the best of Leicester’s dynamic food and drink scene.

Now in its fifth year, Leicester Restaurant Week has become an unmissable event on the city’s culinary calendar, giving diners the opportunity to explore cuisine from around the world discovering new favourites, and revisiting beloved local haunts across the city’s vibrant food scene.  From budget-friendly bites to indulgent three-course menus, LRW offers a chance to enjoy exclusive dining experiences and one-off deals across Leicester’s culinary hotspots.

Who’s in for 2025?

So far, more than 60 venues have confirmed their participation, with more to be added as the weeks progress. Deals are priced from £5 to £30, with everything from lunch menus to a proper meal out, but all of them offer fantastic value for money and the opportunity to try somewhere new.

This includes old favourites like The Frame, Arts Greek Cuisine, Casa Romana, Bistrot Pierre and 1573 Bar & Grill. You might want to try out a discount at one of Leicester’s chain restaurants including Thai from Giggling Squid, noodles at Pho, Jamaican flavours at Turtle Bay, classic bites at Bill’s or steak at Middletons.

Why not take the opportunity to eat at one of Leicester’s new restaurants like Varanasi, Maki & Ramen, La Fontana or Casa Casa? You might just want to grab a quick lunch from one of the city’s great cafes like Esquires, La Maison or Bryter Moon Deli, or a pub lunch from the Queen of Bradgate, The Globe or Rutland and Derby.

And of course, it’s the perfect time to explore the curry capital of England with deals from the likes of My Delhi, Desi Street Food, Herb and Kayal, and of course the multiple award-winning Chutney Ivy.
