This popular bistro-style bar and restaurant has been a Leicester social scene favourite for over ten years. The Leftbank is perfect for people looking to enjoy great food in a relaxed atmosphere, or as a meeting place for drinks with friends. With its informal rustic furnishings, blackboard menus and fresh decor, the Leftbank exudes charm and individuality aplenty.

The bar menu is available all day and has something to suit any appetite without punishing your pocket. Fresh salads, generously filled sandwiches and baguettes, light bites and pasta dishes make up just part of the menu. Alternatively, choose one of the seriously sized homemade burgers or delicious breakfast brunches that the Leftbank is famous for – a great treat especially on a lazy Sunday morning.

The inspired à la carte menu offers high-quality fresh food at great value for money. For example, beef satay skewers with a hoi sin dip (£3.95) is evidence of a chef who draws on influences from all over the world, and excites the appetite for the main course. Follow with a mouth-watering meaty dish – fillet steak on horseradish Dauphinois with Stilton sauce (£13.95), or lamb rump with rosemary and pine nut stuffing served with bubble and squeak (£13) – or opt for a delicious vegetarian dish such as Mediterranean basil and mozzarella puff pastry tart (£9.95). Other tempting choices include fish brochettes marinated in lime chilli and ginger with rice (£11.25), or a hearty traditional Lancashire hot pot (£11.95). These are just a few of the dishes from a tantalising selection. Desserts are all homemade and just £3.95 each – indulge in baked cheesecake or a scrumptious carrot cake with whipped cream.

Leftbank has special offers throughout the week – Monday night is ‘steak night’ with all the trimmings, and on Tuesday evenings a starter or dessert is free with a main course. Whether you’re looking for a romantic setting for a leisurely lunch, or a welcoming atmosphere to accompany an evening celebration with friends, Leftbank is the right choice.
