Quirky Restaurants In Leicester

Situated on Highcross Street in the city centre, Cosy Club is a cool restaurant bar found inside a former knitwear factory that dates back to the 1800s. Expect original features that reflect its industrial roots, from exposed brickwork to wooden furnishings - with some more modern touches too.

They offer a killer cocktail selection, made up of all sorts of unique ingredients. On the food menu? Everything from double smash burgers to panko-crusted cod and chips or Thai green tofu curry.

Just a short walk from the Cathedral and Richard III museum, the vibrant, floral interior of Leicester's Giggling Squid is the perfect place to tickle your tastebuds. Whether you fancy a light lunch or hearty meal, you can take your pick of Thai tapas, curries with a kick and spicy stir fires.

If you're in the mood to share, the Fisherman's Feast and Bangkok Bites are not to be missed. To take the edge off all that spice, try an ice cold Thai beer or sip on a signature cocktail.
