Tabys Café & Restaurant is a casual dining venue at 200 Sandhills Avenue in Leicester. It serves breakfast through to evening meals, with a broad continental menu and a distinct selection of African-inspired dishes.
Breakfast ranges from traditional English plates to vegetarian versions, pancakes and eggs on toast. Afro-breakfast choices add ingredients such as plantain, yam, bean fritters and spiced sauces, giving the morning menu a wider identity.
Soups and more substantial meals continue that mix of familiar and West African flavours. Goat meat pepper soup, for example, pairs seasoned meat and vegetables with rice, while lighter vegetable soups and meat free dishes offer contrasting options.
A dedicated children’s selection and approachable café setting make the restaurant practical for families as well as individual diners. Hot drinks, sweet choices and flexible all-day ordering allow Tabys to work for breakfast, a relaxed lunch or an informal evening meal.
Address: 200 Sandhills Avenue, Leicester LE5 1PL, England
