  1. A

    Case

    One of Leicester's finest places to eat out, this is in the unlikely setting of a former suitcase factory. A refined hubbub fills the airy 1st-floor space where exotic influences infuse traditional English recipes. The Champagne Bar downstairs is easier on the wallet.

  2. Sardaar Restaurant

    Very cheap vegetarian Indian platters are served in this stripped-back diner-style café. Dishes won't do the cholesterol count much good, but the mango lassi style drink is to die for. It's west of the centre.

    Opera House

    Located in a very historical building with a colourful history (it used to be a brothel), this classy Leicester restaurant has an excellent chef. Head downstairs for the intimate, atmospheric underground dining area.

    Chefs from New Delhi proudly prepare authentic North Indian recipes at this mainstay of the Golden Mile, still going strong after more than two decades.

    Watson's

    Set in a converted cotton mill south of the shopping district, this upmarket eatery is a swirl of white linen and fluted glasses. Artfully prepared and exquisitely presented modern European food is served to a jazz soundtrack. Booking is recommended.

    Tinseltown Diner

    Fancy a triple-decker chilli burger or an Oreo cookie and peanut butter milkshake at three in the morning? Then come on down to Tinseltown. With this being Leicester, the effect is more Bolly­wood than Hollywood, but kids will love the menu and razzmatazz.

    Kayal

    This inviting restaurant offers an upmarket take on the steamy South Indian cuisine served up by the curryhouses on Belgrave Rd. Try the kappayum meenum – the tasty fish curry served up by Keralan toddy shops. Booking recommended.

    Haveli

    Don't be put off by the mannequins in Indian costume and the unusual setting in a former high-street store; the balti dishes here are fiery and filling.

    Good Earth

    Tucked away on a side street, this wholesome vegetarian restaurant is justifiably popular for its veggie bakes, huge, fresh salads and homemade cakes.
