I loved eating at this place.  It was so very good.  I would order the Spaghetti with meat sauce.  The most delicious part was the dessert.  Profiteroles with chocolate sauce. small pastry balls with white cream inside and chocolate sauce over the top.  

I know we went there at least twice.  The only way I could remember the location was, by looking up which one of the restaurants (chain) was located at Leicester tube station.  It looks like LIE-Chester squire, but it's pronounced Lester square.  LOL.  I went here with Teresa W I think - both times.

Unique building.  Sweet decor.  And the food was really good. :)
