Leicester's very own, very first Restaurant Week launches this October.
Shining a spotlight on the city's fabulous array of diners and dishes, this month sees the first-ever Restaurant Week in Leicester from October 18-24.
It's been organised by BID Leicester to give participating eateries the opportunity to show off their creative, limited editions menus and draw in new, loyal customers.
BID Director, Simon Jenner, added: “Our aim with the first Leicester Restaurant Week is to showcase as many of our fantastic eateries as possible and it’s been encouraging to hear the positive feedback that we’ve had so far – as well as seeing so many great, one-week-only offers coming through.
“The week-long event will give locals and visitors alike the opportunity to try somewhere new or an excuse to head back to their favourite dining spot, and with so many delicious choices available, how can you possibly resist?!”
They've gone all out to ensure the people of Leicester have lots of tasty choices so make sure you don't miss out on Restaurant Week.
