With just over a month to go until Leicester Restaurant Week returns to the city for a fourth year, organisers BID Leicester are thrilled to reveal the participating venues signed up so far, and the irresistible culinary delights they’re serving up.
Taking place Monday 21 October to Sunday 27 October 2024, Leicester Restaurant Week is back to highlight some of the city’s finest dining spots. Participating restaurants will have the opportunity to present a specially curated, limited-edition menu, or introduce something fresh and exclusive for customers to enjoy—for one week only.
Leicester Restaurant Week 2024 is aiming to be even bigger and better than last year, with 38 venues confirmed to be taking part already, offering 59 deals for discerning diners in the city – and more to come!
This October, Leicester Restaurant Week 2024 invites diners to explore the city’s culinary scene with exclusive, one-week-only deals. Fixed price points of £5, £10, £15, £20, £25 and £30 will be available across brunch, lunch, and dinner, offering a chance to experience a wide range of venues, dishes, and cuisines without stretching your budget.

As newcomers to the city, we couldn’t ask for a better opportunity to showcase our restaurant and menu to diners. We’ll have a special offer running throughout the week, including poppadum’s, a starter, main and a naan or rice for just £30, so we hope to welcome a lot of new faces through our doors.
