Restaurants near Leicester

“Sweet little spot in the most beautiful area of Leicester! Happy to have stumbled upon this place filled with local goods, genuine kindness, and really REALLy good food! I enjoyed a fresh kale+chicken+Parm+Caesar wrap w/ a side of broccoli salad. It was so good, I will be back!”

“Great coffee, pastries and to-go snacks. This was an awesome addition to Leicester but like some newer spots they aren't that busy yet. Support local! I really think the owners need to invest in better signs out front to draw in customers.”

“This is an absolute treasure for us out here in Leicester. The tortas are some of the best around. Can’t speak on the tacos since I religiously stick to the pastor torta. Highly recommended!”

“We were greeted warmly at the door, and our server was extremely gracious and provided wine samples to help us choose the right bottle. The raw oysters were fresh and bright, the Big Bowl of Greens was a terrific salad to share. The NC Trout and Pork Schnitzel entrees were flawless. We shared a Black Forest Cake for dessert. In summary, it was a perfect dining experience.”

“We found this little gem by chance and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, kid friendly (albeit its an adult place). We sat at a small corner table by the bar. We enjoyed some sharable plates, great wines, mocktails for the kids, excellent wines and my wife a great Vesper made by Luci (the bartender). But the cherry on top was the fact that she made a perfect Irish Coffee - a simple drink, but buttered by 99% of the bar tenders. We will be back.”

“Some friends had recommended we try Huli Sue’s while in Asheville. This place is a must-visit! Great vibes, delicious food and unique flavours. The mochiko chicken sandwich, the nachos, and the BBQ (especially the ribs) were all awesome. We also grabbed a brownie to go. Will definitely be back next time we are in Asheville.”

“The whole experience was wonderful! I loved the food and we sat at the bar so it was fun to see the food as it was made. It is purposely small - so it was like I was invited into a dinner party in a home. Unique drinks, flavorful food and yummy ice cream.”

“We absolutely love this place. We always visit them whenever we are in Asheville. We recommend sitting at the counter. The counter will allow you to be entertained by the staff. We hung out with Derek this time. He is an amazing chef. There's nothing like watching an artist at work.”

“Wow wow wow! This place was amazing! Everything was absolutely delicious! There wasn't a single thing we ordered that was just okay. Highly recommend the sloppy jai! Sweet and spicy, tender ground lamb in little sliders with purple cabbage. Omg! The ambiance is fun and friendly!”

“This is my favorite coffee shop in Asheville! I usually get a cappuccino, drip coffee, and one of the pastries and they are all fantastic. Ash always makes a perfect cappuccino with properly steamed milk.I’ll often hang out for an hour or two to work in the cozy cafe. I’ve also brought my three year old to the cafe and she thoroughly enjoyed her experience!”

“Finally found the Boba Fruit Milk Tea with poppers I have been wanting! 4 years ago tried Milk Fruit Boba tea on vacation but never found another place that made it similar around home. Just discovered this the other day! Staff were super helpful and answered all my questions. Mango milk boba tea was amazing. I would like to throw it out there and suggest for mango and strawberry flavors it would be cool if you could get tiny pieces of the fruit chopped up and mixed in with the poppers or boba. I can't wait to go back and try the pastries! Had a large beautiful selection of many tasty goodies. Definitely going to be a repeat customer for the milk boba tea. Conveniently located very close to the parking garage at 40 Coxe.”

“Excellent high quality food just like their original Strada restaurant. Here it is more about small plate meals, which can get a bit pricey. The atmosphere could be a bit more cozy and higher end with the price point they are at.Dietary restrictions: Very willing to cater to people's needs like food allergens.”

“Our server Rachel was the whole experience. Chef was accommodating with our requests. When restaurant fill-up and by that I mean 9 tables, the noise level was higher. All in all great experience.”

“Went here a few weeks ago for brunch with a friend and....yum.Are we vegan? No. Have I stopped thinking about that chicken sandwich with mushroom gravy? Also no. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Huge fan of this place! Great mezcal selection, friendly service, and good prices. It is a very small space, so be aware of that if you're coming in with a group. Big fan of the El Tamarindo in particular.”

“This is an awesome place. They brew while open on a transparent system. It smells wonderful walking in. Three of us had three different brews which were all delicious. Will definitely be back again, too bad I live 2.5 hours away.”

“Was a really fun new place to try! Food was a bit experimental, especially if you’re going all vegetarian, but the details in the menu show a lot of love and care put in. Since the menu rotates so much, we’ll have to go back and try more. ”

“This place makes an excellent martini (with blue cheese olives). It's a cool environment, somewhat crowded, but the busy-ness adds to the appeal. I think they shine more in cocktails than in food. The burger is made with American cheese, to its detriment. Burrata was good, and the table tried some small Spanish-style fish. We had another OK pasta dish as well. Less likely to return for a meal but happy to come for drinks + apps.”

“I'm biased cause I have family who work for this rest group, but this place is amazing. Sooo happy I can now get my okra fries fix without going downtown. The desi salad is fabulous, too.”

“The BEST lobster we have ever eaten! (And we live in Florida) Must have dinner here when visiting Asheville! House oysters were delicious and COLD.Parking: Parking lot directly across the street that was easy to walk to. It was a paid lot, $4 an hour. Very reasonable parking priceKid-friendliness: Brought our 3 kids under 5 y.o., and the staff was very friendly and welcoming of our kids. They had crayons, coloring pages, booster, high chairs, etc for the kids. They spent a lot of time watching the lobsters and one of the staff members let them “pet” a lobster. THANK YOU!”

“Today was my family's first Crumbl experience. Everyone has been raving about these cookies. This was a fun weekday treat. We don't do a ton of sweets in our family, so we are selective in what we splurge with. This was so worth it and the service was speedy. The people working here were very sweet too. No pun intended ?”

“Nice quiet little place with pleasant servers. I ordered the Italian sandwich with the side salad. Everything was great. I definitely will have the Italian sandwich again maybe even something else else.”

“Omg delicious, FRESH and hot pizza at all of your favorite breweries. Our faves are the hot honey and bianca *chefs kiss* We follow this food truck throughout Asheville it’s so damn tasty; five stars!!”

“Food and service are both fantastic – some of the best Mexican food I've had in Asheville. Unlike other places, the food isn't *too* fast – you actually have a moment to take a sip of your drink before your meal comes out. My one disappointment is that they only have a changing table in the women's restroom – FYI men have children too! Granted it's a single-occupancy restroom so I could still use the women's restroom if needed, but that kind of thing can be controversial in North Carolina post-HB2 so it would be nice if they had equal facilities.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu, unfortunately they only have a changing table in the women's restroom”

“This place is hands down one of the best restaurants!The food is always excellent. I used to work here over 10 years ago, and to be able to honestly recommend anything on the menu, knowing people will leave happy was just the best! The decor is very eclectic and you can tell the owners have fun with it.The scallops are my absolute favorite, and the mussels never disappoint. My husband loves the lamb shank! And for dessert, the baklava ice cream cake is a must! Highly recommend!”

“I got drip coffee - a local brew - which was absolutely delicious and hands down 5 stars. I gave the food a 3 star rating because unfortunately the breakfast sandwich was soggy, bland, and frankly inedible. I would however go back and get the coffee again and try something else from the menu. The breakfast brownie for example looked very good.”

“This place is great! Great beer, Great Vibes, great views. A fabulous place to people watch, kick back and have a good time on a date night or with a group of friends. Can be chilly in the cooler times of the year since it is next to the river. Only complaint is that their hours are very inconsistent and it is a crapshoot to see if they will be open past 5pm on a FRIDAY NIGHT.”

“Interesting little spot in West Asheville. Smash burgers and fires were hot of the grill and very filling.Josh was both bartender and waiter but was very attentive.Parking: The parking lot is small, so we can see having to find a spot up the street and walk down.”

“10/10 brisket sandwich. Perfectly smoked. Interesting to have a brisket smoked with oak. Subtle smokey flavor that allows the pickles and onions to shine through. Smokey, succulent, ”

“What a great find! We were hiking at Chestnut park and I thought about this food the whole time. I couldn’t wait to get down the mountain to eat. I was NOT disappointed!!! The cheesesteak with marinara was to die for, so was my husband’s Italian hoagie. We also tried the meatballs and they melted in our mouths. I could drink the marinara and would travel to NY myself for the bread he imports. The owner is super friendly and helpful and the portions are huge! The cheesecake is great too!”
