Sonrisa brings the spirit of Buenos Aires to 4 St Martin’s in central Leicester. The lively restaurant and bar is designed for sociable meals, combining a relaxed atmosphere with food cooked over charcoal and a drinks list that draws strongly on Argentina and South America.

The menu begins with platitos made for sharing, including empanadas and other small plates that let a table build a varied meal. Charcoal and flame cooking then take centre stage, with steaks and grilled dishes accompanied by punchy sauces such as chimichurri.

Meat is an important part of the offering, but the selection also reaches across vegetables, seafood, salads and side dishes. Desserts provide a natural finish, while set menus and special dining offers can make the restaurant practical for celebrations and larger gatherings.

Argentine Malbec is a natural match for the grill, and cocktails give the bar its own identity for guests visiting before or after dinner. Anyone with allergies or dietary requirements should speak to the team before ordering so current recipes and preparation can be checked.

Address: 4 St Martin’s, Leicester LE1 5DB, England
