We had a lovely brunch here and the most delicious hot drinks. We even had 2 each of these drinks. It was the speciality pistachio chai latte. Bonus points for being dog friendly thank you

They were open on easter Sunday. So we just found them by chance. It was fantastic, staff was incredibly sweet. I loved that they had outside seatung as well. I had the fancier Avocado toast while my dad had the Shaksuka. The orange juice was actual fresh orange juice which i found is not the case at most restaurants. I highly reccomend it for a nice breakfast/brunch! (Amazing vegetarian and vegan options available as well)

Really nice and cozy place with very welcoming staff. The Luna coffee was just amazing; smooth and sweet. A dessert in itself.

We happened to choose a super busy time so we waited a little while for the food. But it was totally worth it. I had the Chocolate and Blueberry Pancakes - one of my go-tos. Lovely, light fluffy pancakes, plenty of chocolate sauce and fruit. My partner went for his go-to; the vegetarian full English. He was also very happy. Lovely food, polite and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Breakfast in Tunisia. From the hospitality to the harissa, to the genuine love and blessings with each bite. For more than wonderful food, come and visit the lovely Ridwan and his restaurant family. Highlight of Leicester. Thank you to Ridwan and the sister who made a brilliant flat white. Hope to see you again in the future

I found this place for the 1st time yesterday with Middle Eastern, Mediterranean & contemporary English deli classics including a range of vegetarian & vegan classics all prepared superbly with the freshest ingredients. The location was petite, however the ambience was fresh, clean, & beautiful, with simple but effective artistic details wherever you looked. The staff were kind, attentive & friendly, & the food excellently prepared. Myself & my friend ate lunch as well as coffee, however it looked some appetising, we immediately tucked in when it arrived & didn't stop to photograph anything. I had the egg Florentine which I appreciated due to having a Florentine grandmother on my mother's side. While I waited for my friend, I did photograph my cappucino & the refreshing mint & lime water that was available for free. These guys deserve 5 stars all round, no doubt I will be returning again. Thank you!

My wife and I went to La Foret Cafe last Saturday and had a really wonderful brunch. The food was absolutely delicious. I had Shakshuka with merguez - a spicy sausage popular in North African countries. My wife had avocado and egg on toast. The food was presented in such an attractive way and the flavours were out of this world. I grew up eating Moroccan food because my Dad's side of the family is from Morocco, and I can tell you - this food was just exceptional - authentic flavours, vibrant colours - everything was just so good. The staff we very friendly and engaging and they really took the time to make you feel welcome and comfortable. We will definitely be going there again, and my Dad wants to visit too! See you very soon, and thanks again!
