It was our first experience of Argentinian food. We celebrated my husband’s birthday. And it was great! First of all we liked cozy atmosphere and high level service. We felt very welcomed there. Everything was clean and tidy which is important for me. But the main thing was FOOD 😋 Absolutely new dishes and tastes for all of us, but everything was freshly cooked and amazingly tasty! Highly recommend 100%!
Polite staff, quick service, great cocktails and delicious food served majority tapas style. Made a reservation (got seated 10 minutes early), they explained the menu to us, food came out hot and cocktails are popular here. The restaurant is clean, well lit and has a nice decor. Recommend trying this place out.
Absolutely Love Sonrisa Leicester! The food is so delicious & fresh and you can tell the food is made with passion & love. The staff are all super friendly & great service. Always makes me smile hence the name :) thanks Sheila
We had six of the tapas style plates:
octopus, cod, green beans, tortilla, sausage and lamb shank.
It was all excellent. Great flavour. In particular I loved the cod.
I'll be back.
Food was absolutely delicious, staff were incredibly friendly, providing attentive service and making us feel welcome throughout our visit. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful culinary experience with a side of warm hospitality
The staff are very very nice, always checking on us but not too overbearing. The place itself is beautiful. Great for a birthday or nice date. The food came quickly and was fresh and tasted delicious. Left me wanting more! But the great thing is you can keep ordering!

Very good food, slightly expensive, menu needs explaining.
I always think that if a menu needs explaining to you by the waiter, it probably needs some adjustments.
Here, it is “small dish” territory, so they recommend you order 3-4 dishes per person. Except the main courses, which you don’t share. But you can. And except they’re not full sized mains, but ‘medium sized’ so one main per person probably isn’t enough.
However, over ordering really isn’t a problem because you get to try more of their lovely food!
We tried literally half the menu between the 3 adults and 2 kids, and it was faultless, delicious and some we ordered twice!
Would recommend this particularly with friends, the more the better as you get to share.
We had mocktails too and they were very good.
Came here a few weeks ago for a meal pre-theatre.
Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful with the menu choices.
The mushroom croquettes and the red pepper empanada were absolutely delicious. Calamari was disappointing as was bland and chewy, and the aioli that came with it was tasteless.
When then had the acron pork and chicken parilla. Meat was lovely, potato ok potato but again the sauce with it was tasteless. The fries were nice.
Desserts of orange polenta cake and chocolate fondant were really nice.
I visited Sonrisa with 6 friends last night, as it was highly recommended. Four of the party were very happy with their food, tasty, well presented and a reasonable portion.
Two people ordered the Lamb, which was delicious, but a very very tiny portion, not large enough to be called a main course. Apparently we should have been told this when it was ordered it, but wasn't.
My rib eye steak was not good, under cooked and tough, with half of it inedible, but again, very tasty.
I have to hand it to the staff at Sonrisa, there were fantastic and they sorted all of the issues out, and we were happy at the end of the night.
Fabulous place! Came here on a quiet Sunday evening (2-4-1 cocktails at the bar!) and had a fab experience from start to finish! Staff are lovely and the place itself is beautifully decorated. We tried the smoking cocktails and they were delicious! (we weren't sure which ones were smoking but the staff let us know when we asked!) We then moved over to the restaurant area and ordered about 17 dishes between 5 of us. We ended up ordering some more beef and mushroom croquettes as they were all so delicious! All the potatoes were delicious and the pork belly was lovely! Well worth a visit here!
