If you want a food experience, come here! Visually and taste, it s amazing. Being told by the actual chefs what you are eating is amazing and it gives you the chance to ask questions and thank them for their brilliance. My favourite restaurant by far

Omg! What a memorable experience. The food was outstanding. This is Michelin level cookery at the fraction of the price. An 8 course tasting menu for £60. Wine flight for £40. I consider myself a foodie, this is foodie paradise. A very exciting find.

I ate out for the January - veganuary offer. The food was lovely and there was a really good variation on the 8 course taster menu. Probably the best vegetarian taster menu around Leicester compared to other similar restaurants. Really recommend it.

I LOVE this place. I’ve been before but wanted to come somewhere special for an anniversary, and what an experience! The food is exceptional and the care taken in the taste, the presentation and the service, equally so. The ethos of minimal waste, sourcing locally, foraging and preserving is another - MAJOR - reason why I keep coming back; as is the chance to try new flavour combos. The service is always attentive, friendly and unobtrusive. All in, another fantastic meal ❤️
