Restaurant263 is a chef-driven modern British restaurant at 76 Highcross Street in Leicester city centre. The team aims to make fine dining relaxed and accessible, focusing the experience on carefully judged cooking rather than an overly formal atmosphere.
Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients shape both the tasting menu and shorter midweek offering. The kitchen uses British produce wherever practical and builds each course to highlight its principal ingredients, with sustainability and responsible sourcing informing its choices.
The changing menu can move through vegetables, fish and meat with modern accompaniments such as ferments, miso or black garlic. A vegetarian tasting menu is available, and vegan options can be arranged, reflecting the restaurant’s flexible approach within a concise format.
A curated wine list includes optional pairings for the tasting experience, joined by signature and classic cocktails. Private dining and group meals can be arranged, while guests with allergies or dietary requirements should inform the restaurant when booking and again before ordering.
Address: 76 Highcross Street, Leicester LE1 4NN, England
