  “Me and my friends went to Son Risa on a Wednesday night, not really anticipating much but we were pleasantly surprised by the end of our night. Despite it being 10pm on a weekday, the place still had a great ambience, with it not being too busy or too quiet. The food was quick to come out and and tasted as good as it looked. We opted for multiple starters/sides as recommended by the menu/our server Belle, and that was enough for our group. All in all, such a lovely restaurant. Thank you especially to Belle and Yasir for serving us, and providing such a great dining experience :)”

  “Lovely Argentine tucked away in Leicester city centre 🥩✨ Starters Cod ceviche (the standout) — after trying it a few times, I’m convinced the sauce is green apple, garlic & chilli. The cod was so soft, I honestly would’ve eaten more 🍋 Decent calamari & bruschetta, nothing to write home about Mains Sharing platter. Fair warning though — ask for medium-rare, it comes out more rare than medium 😅 Truffle chips were yum. Chimichurri & peppercorn sauces were kind of mid, but honestly? The steak’s seasoned enough that you don’t need them. Dessert Brown muscovado sugar sticky toffee pudding — not pictured because we devoured it. Actually one of the nicest sweet treats I’ve ever had 🥲 Verdict: Great for a celebration. Pricey with no student discount, but the quality shows. Highly recommend it.”

  “Me and my family went for Sunday lunch. The service was excellent,friendly and attentive. We couldn’t decide on our wine and he brought some out for us to try. A little gesture that meant a lot. We wanted to have the chateaubriand. There were apologies about availability and the porterhouse was suggested. It did not disappoint. One of the best steaks i’ve had in recent memory. I could go on, but just know that I think this is the best restaurant in Leicester. Excellent work all round.”

  “Had a great time here - drinks, food, and dessert were all wonderful. There were also a ton of substantial vegetarian options. The atmosphere is really nice - pretty and elegant, without being stuffy. Our server, Ivan, was fantastic. He was attentive and friendly. He also helped my friends surprise me with a birthday celebration and patiently took photos of our group.”

  “The food was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and cooked perfectly. The sausage dish was especially memorable — juicy, smoky, and paired so well with the fresh salad and rich tomato dressing. Every bite felt authentic and comforting.”

  “We had a delightful birthday dinner! Although the restaurant was very busy, we were able to get a table without much trouble, and the food arrived impressively quickly. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the beef rigatoni really stood out as the highlight of the meal. Next time, we’d definitely like to try more options from the grill. The staff and servers were all wonderful, especially Ivan, who made the experience even more enjoyable. A big bonus for us was that most of the meat was halal, which we really appreciated. The only small downside was that the portion sizes could have been a bit larger. Overall, a fantastic experience and one we’d happily repeat!”

  “We had a nice enough experience here on a Saturday night but the food was a bit of a let down. The greeting was nice, we loved the bar area and the atmosphere was excellent. I ordered the lamb and my partner has the sea bass. The lamb was from the main menu, large plates section, but the portion was pretty measly and the flavours were just ok for lamb tbh. She enjoyed her sea bass but it was a bit on the cold side. We had desserts too so it was £70 all in, which isn’t too bad. I’d have a steak next time to really give it a fair assessment.”

  “It’s a boring Monday evening and after having been to an appointment at 6pm we decided to give Sonrisa a try. For anyone that reads my reviews, they will know that I am a great lover of steak and this being an Argentinian restaurant, I hoped they did good steak. We skipped starters but there are two options to the menu: Tapas style small dishes and a limited Mains selection. My partner has never tried Octopus, but I warned her that if not cooked well, it becomes chewy like rubber. She also opted for a chicken parilla tapas. We had a side of the garlic and herb coated fries and I had the sirloin (medium). The octopus was tasteless and like rubber, the chicken was spiced well, but only the skin and my partner doesn’t like or eat the skin. The steak was excellent though and the fries were tasty. However, they don’t have ketchup, so I had to retrieve the emergency ketchup from the car (I know, I know, heathens). There were two service staff on but they were young and not particularly attentive, but apart from that they were ok. I would recommend this place, even though it is quite pricey, but if you like steak, it’s good! I think they should stick to steak though as the rest of the food we had was decidedly average.”

  “Everything were delicious!! The steak was juicy, the potatoes were crispy and tender. The broccoli with sauce was rich in flavor and still slightly crunchy. The cheesecake was delicious, but I wouldn't say it was Basque cheesecake.”

  “We visited for my birthday and had a very enjoyable experience. The service was attentive and the atmosphere pleasant. The steaks were all cooked perfectly, well seasoned, and full of flavour. The potato fry was especially delicious (we even had a second plate), and the tenderstem broccoli was particularly good too. Wide selection of wines. We’ll be returning to try the tapas!”
