Went for a simple pizza and really enjoyed it. Had great time just chatting in the corner. Staff attentive but not fussy. Will go again

My husband and I were visiting the uni and decided to come for dinner. And boy did we have a treat. Absolutely incredible pizzas, so tasty, perfect crust and no oil residue...BEST PIZZA we've had in a longtime and we are part Italians :)) we will be back with the kids soon!

Great English breakfast in a super cosy and relaxing environment. Great coffee too. Glad I found this gem in Leicester that’s not directly in the city.

Great restaurant on the Queens Road. Plenty of seating, with the more comfortable seating being upstairs. They have a great selection of dishes for brunch, so of course I went for the full English. Plenty on it, all well cooked and very tasty. Service was excellent, efficient, and very friendly. I look forward to going again very soon. Highly recommended.

Offering great food, freshly made, almost all-day brunch in such a cozy setting that’ll make you want to come back. You’ll be greeted by the staff as soon as you walk into the door. Then, you’ll be seated either upstairs or on the ground floor. Everything is table service from ordering to paying. Feel free to take your time choosing from the menu. They won’t rush you. Nice and easy.

Beautifully presented breakfast, nice atmosphere and friendly, accommodating staff. The chef did the most exquisite "firm" poached egg (at my request). The tea was individual leaf tea. I would recommend Halcyon and look forward to returning in the future.

Went for lunch today and we were able to get seating without any hassle. The seating arrangements are unique in that each dining table is different. The food arrived on time and the waitress was very polite and service was great. The atmosphere was quiet, which was welcoming. They had gluten free options which we were after and the food tasted great. Overall, a unique and nice quaint place worth a visit.
