At the heart of Leicester city centre, The Gresham Bar & Restaurant balances a lively spirit with kitchen craft, serving familiar favourites with a modern touch.
The cooking nods to British comfort and Italian classics, guided by simple pleasures, good produce and the sort of flavours that invite a second forkful.
Small plates set an inviting tone: a warming, spicy carrot soup paired with toasted sourdough, or crisp wild mushroom arancini waiting to be dipped in roasted garlic mayonnaise. It’s an opening that rewards sharing, or keeping entirely to oneself.
From there, the kitchen leans into staples done right. A hearty sirloin steak is elevated by sautéed mushrooms and a gloss of garlic butter, while the battered haddock delivers a satisfying crunch alongside buttered garden peas and a squeeze of charred lemon.
For a more casual bite, towering burgers like the bacon-loaded Gresham burger or the barbecue-glazed hunters chicken burger hit the spot, served alongside perfectly fired margherita and pepperoni pizzas.
Pull up a chair and tuck in. When the chips are down, this kitchen truly delivers!
