James' Cafe Bistro in Leicester

I had the Flash Burger and thoroughly enjoyed it. The unusual mix of ingredients worked surprisingly well. The decor of the bistro lends well to the friendliness of the staff.

This is a hidden gem of a cafe with a lovely relaxed vibe. The menu is varied and suited to all so everyone should find something they like. Also in the cafè you can find art by 60+ local artists ranging from jewellery and cushions to paintings and pottery. A lovely place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre and what's more is that it's an independent business so has that personal touch which the big chains don't have.I'd recommend checking the website for opening times before visiting as they're not open every day, but well worth a visit.

Love the atmosphere of this place, an art gallery/craft shop cum cafe/restaurant. I went for lunch because it was where our Christmas party was going to be and I adored the location, the quality of the food and the atmosphere - a little oasis right next to the Highcross. So when it came to go for a Christmas Meal (Pre Plan B) I was pleasantly surprised, they had rearranged the whole venue into a restaurant setting, the food menu choices were so good, catering for all dietary requirements of our group, the cocktails were lush and the food was of outstanding quality, sometimes you feel like part of a conveyor belt for the ‘office party’ when it comes to food but it was honestly five star quality, I loved every mouthful. Would definitely recommend.

Best place in Leicester! Run by lovely people and delicious food and some incredible art and crafts to buy from Leicester's finest independent artists and creators. THE BEST PANCAKES IN LEICESTER.

Lovely, quirky café round the back of Highcross. Lots of space and there are also gifts to buy. Prices are good, we had a big pot of tea for 2 and it was only £2.00 ☕👌🏼

Popped in yesterday to meet a friend and stayed for 2 hours! It's a lovely, cosy and humble cafe. Started with coffee, very tasty! I then had spinach benedict and my friend had the blueberry pancakes, both absolutely delicious and really fresh. You definitely get your moneys worth on the portion sizes.Very friendly, and greeted at the door, social distancing in place and it's a big space so felt totally comfortable. It also has wonderful local art on the walls, bespoke handmade products, which is perfect for gifts! Maybe my new favourite place in Leicester! Thank you looking forward to my next visit!

In my humble opinion, this is the best quality pound-for-pound restaurant in Leicester. With James' unique menu, served amongst authentic and tasteful artistic decor with a relaxed atmosphere, there is nowhere the same as this charming little eatery. Delightful creativity, glorious flavours and generous portions abound, at very reasonable prices. Friendly, accommodating staff and a central, but quaint and quiet, location put the proverbial cherry on the top. My favourite place to eat.

Had a lovely Spanish Omelette & my usual coffee. Lovely little hideaway 2mins from the town centre. Also events in the evenings. A favourite of ours.
