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!”

“One of my all time favorite restaurants! We live 45 minutes away but stop in every chance we get. The food is always 10/10 and the staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and make sure you have everything you need!”

“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.”

“Why haven’t I been here before?! Omg! So good! I got the poke bowl (a delicious combination of tuna, cucumbers and tomatoes in sauce) and hubby got the fried chicken sandwich….I think it is our new favorite chicken sandwich in Asheville. The honey sauce the used! Yum! Coming back. Great outdoor dining and all the food is great!”

“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.”

“Chai Pani is one of my favorite restaurants in the world! I’ve traveled to 16 countries, and this is easily one of the best if not THE best that I’ve had. The Chicken pakora nuggets, okra fries, and bhel puri are some of the best dishes you could ever taste. We’ve been multiple times and have never been disappointed! We live 2.5 hours ways and have driven it just to eat at Chai Pani.”

“Food is incredible and the staff are all so lovely and friendly. Dining room is stunning and best of all, free parking! The private label wine that is 1/2 off on Wednesdays is amazing. Such a good spot for business lunches, cozy dinners and the patio is dog-friendly!”

“My new favorite place. My go to is the Mango shaved ice, a treat that is close to home. Atmosphere is so inviting and relaxing. There is no dessert place like it in Asheville.”

“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!”

“We loved this bar! Drinks were delicious and the decor/aesthetic is unique and inviting. Loved the patio during the day. The food truck was decent for a late night snack”

“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.”

“I loved the food that I ordered. I got the okra fries, the paneer tikka roll, and chai. My husband and his friend each got the Malai chicken tikka roll. We got takeout because I had to drop the guys off at the airport and then hit the road for a 7 hour drive.The sandwich was good, but the okra fries were incredible! They are sliced paper thin and are not greasy at all, and they have just the right amount of chaat masala on them. The chai was the best chai I have ever had. The guys really liked their chicken sandwiches, too. Unfortunately, I don't live in Asheville, so I don't know when I can come back again. If I did live in Asheville, I would be coming here regularly.Vegetarian options: The vegan and vegetarian dishes are clearly labeled.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Good Hot Fish is amazing! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and delicious. There are so many thoughtful details throughout the restaurant. You can tell how much love and passion has gone into this space. Highly recommend as one of the best restaurants in Asheville!”

“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”

“So many Reasons to visit! Jewish rye, jalapeño cream cheese croissanty thing, cherry anything, and that's just me! Hubs has his own list of delights. Gotta get there early, though. Items sell out!”

“This is one of our new favorite restaurants! Food was delicious, perfectly cooked, flavorful, filling and love the farm to table unique menu! Drinks were carefully crafted and delish! Service was impeccable from our waitress Reign and every employee/manager we encountered. We were seated close to the kitchen and impressed by the organization and communication between the cooks. The vibe of the restaurant was unique, romantic and interesting. Def a must to ask about the history of the restaurant and the vision!”

“A local bar with great food, service and beer selection. Excellent cocktails with generous pours. Ample seating inside as well as on the patio. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“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, ”

“This is a locally owned meat three+ restaurant. Breakfasts are their specialty but their sandwiches and entrees are tops.Parking: Parking can be dicey at 12 noon so drive slowly around the block or two if the parking lot is full.”

“We had walked by this place so many times and had heard nothing but good things but being retired and on a budget, we waited until a really special occasion...our 70th Birthdays. What a culinary treat! The food was great; exquisitely prepared. The ramp salad with fresh shiitake and oyster mushrooms was delicious. My entrée, rigatoni with wild boar bolognese, was wonderfully seasoned and the pasta was a perfect al dente. Same for the spinach ravioli. The desserts didn't disappoint either. All in all it was a most pleasant evening and well worth the price.”
