Simon Jenner, Director at BID Leicester, said:
“Leicester Restaurant Week is now on, and it’s fantastic to see the event featuring 49 venues and 67 deals in its sixth year. Running across two weeks gives people even more opportunity to make the most of the city’s fantastic food and drink scene, whether they’re discovering somewhere new or returning to an old favourite.
“There really is something for everyone this year, from great-value lunches and family offers to new restaurants and some of Leicester’s best-loved venues. We’re looking forward to welcoming people into the city and encouraging everyone to make the most of the fantastic offers available.”
The return of the Leicester Monsters will add an extra element of fun to the city during part of Restaurant Week, with eight giant illuminated monster installations appearing across rooftops, windows and unexpected corners of Leicester from 22 to 31 October, throughout the school half-term.
With restaurants offering deals throughout the two-week celebration, visitors can combine a meal out with a day exploring Leicester – and make the most of the city during the autumn break.
Save the Date: Leicester Restaurant Week is running throughout the city centre from Monday 19 October – Sunday 1 November 2026.
