The Gresham Bar & Restaurant is an independent venue at 36 Market Street inside The Gresham Aparthotel. Its contemporary, relaxed space serves hotel guests and local diners from breakfast through dinner in one of central Leicester’s most distinctive historic buildings.
Breakfast covers cooked plates as well as eggs, avocado and mushrooms on toast. Lunch can be as simple as a sandwich, while small plates encourage sharing and conversation during a longer visit.
The dinner selection includes carefully composed mains and the house Gresham burger, with set menus offering two or three courses. Vegan choices and a children’s menu make the restaurant practical for mixed groups and family occasions.
Cocktails, wine, beer and soft drinks keep the bar active throughout the day, and the comfortable lounge atmosphere also works for an informal meeting. The balance of food and drinks means the venue is more than an amenity for overnight guests.
