Restaurant Week is nearly here!

BID Leicester is bringing back the city’s much-loved Restaurant Week this month – and for the first time ever, it’s running for two whole weeks, from Monday 20 October to Sunday 2 November 2025.

Set to be bigger and tastier than ever, there are currently more than 65 offers across 42 restaurants, with more to come! The event is now in its fifth year and has become a highlight of Leicester’s culinary calendar, giving diners the chance to discover new favourites, revisit beloved local haunts, and explore cuisine from across the globe.

From pocket-friendly bites to indulgent dinners, Leicester Restaurant Week 2025 has something to suit every taste and budget, with offers ranging from just £5 up to £30.

Families looking for a tasty treat can make the most of special offers at Crafty, Dough What, La Fontana and The Gresham. Kids can eat from £5 at Crafty, Dough What and The Gresham, with La Fontana offering a free dessert with any children’s meal, making these venues the perfect place for a half term outing (there are plenty of delicious deals available for parents, too!)

This year sees a few new additions to the food scene, with Bill’s, Casa Casa, Maki & Ramen and Hive & Honey arriving in the city and taking part in their very first Leicester Restaurant Week. Enjoy one bar snack and two main tapas plates for £15 at Casa Casa; a 2-course set menu from Bill’s, also at £15; any main, side and soft drink for £20 at Maki & Ramen, or three tasty plates for £25 at Hive & Honey.

Looking for light bites or lunchtime treats? There are some fantastic offerings from Bryter Moon Deli, where you can enjoy a loaded sourdough, hot drink and cantucci biscuit for just £10; choose from a home-made dough pizza or any wrap and a drink from Art’s Greek Cuisine for a tenner, or head to The Rutland & Derby, where for £15 you can get loaded beer fries or a bun, washed down with your favourite drink.

For something more substantial, there are great value two and three-course menu offers across the city, covering a variety of cuisines. From Italian at Knight & Garter or Casa Romana; sizzling steaks at Middletons; Argentinian feasts at Sonrisa; Vietnamese at Pho; Indian at My Delhi or Chutney Ivy, or Thai at Giggling Squid. There’s something to suit every budget and palette!

Simon Jenner, Director of BID Leicester, commented: “We’re thrilled to see Leicester Restaurant Week returning this October. It’s a fantastic opportunity for people to try somewhere new, revisit their favourites, and enjoy the incredible variety of dining experiences our city has to offer. Leicester’s hospitality scene has so much to celebrate, and this event really brings it to life.”
