Croques

Posted by LennyLennyLenny 24 June 2008

Croques is a great place to stop off for a lunch in Leicester city centre.

It's situated in the heart of the Leicester lanes (just off the High Street) and serves a fine range of freshly prepared sandwiches, baguettes, melts, wraps, salads and jacket potatoes. Plenty of veggie options are available too.

The place is always busy (a good sign for any cafe/restaurant), is great value for money and is situated in one of the nicer shopping streets in the city.

This hidden gem serves the best cooked breakfast in Leicester.

Situated upstairs at The Barley Mow pub, the welcome is always warm, the service efficient and the food unpretentious and freshly prepared.

A full English with toast and tea comes in at around £4.25 and never fails to satisfy.

Highly recommended.

Tinseltown

Posted by jewelleryrox 29 April 2008

I visited this diner in Leicester yesterday lunchtime and was really looking forward to it. I ordered and received my meal - the burgers were awful and tasted like a burger van burger. The burger was a chargrilled cardboard brown disc - you will not attract return visits serving burgers of such a low quality.

I then paid £1 each for two toppings - cheese and pineapple (one four pence cheese slice and one small slice of pineapple) - a topping should cover the top of the burger not just the centre of the burger.

My wife had a steak wrap! Soggy wallpaper wrapping up gristle and boiled, not fried, onions!!

The standard of food is without doubt the worst I have ever experienced.

New Walk Museum

Posted by judithcumming 18 February 2008

It is a museum and art gallery on a beautiful pedestrianised street that goes from Victoria Park right down into the centre of town. It is free, always interesting and has a good quiet café at the back of the building too.
