Sapphire Seafood Kitchen Leicester brings a unique dining concept to Leicestershire, shaping its menu around Southern-style Cajun cuisine and particularly, seafood boils - from crab clusters to succulent lobster. The menu starts strong with appetisers like fried catfish, dynamite prawns and Nashville hot tenders, before moving onto mains, where things get really interesting.
First up, there's burgers - a dish we presume most diners have heard of before. You could try the Korean Fried Chicken Burger with homemade spicy, sticky Korean sauce, burger sauce, pickles, slaw and a brioche bun. While, the Dynamite Prawn Burger brings together battered prawns coated in dynamite sauce, alongside lettuce and red onions in a brioche bun, or there's the Nashville Hot with crispy fried chicken coated in Nashville spices, melted cheese, pickles, lettuce, red onions and burger mayo in a brioche bun. One thing's for sure, you won't find any classic beef patties here.
But, we know you've been waiting to hear more about the signature seafood boils which are served with spicy rice or fries, corn, egg or potatoes, smothered in Cajun butter sauce. Diners can enjoy lobster tail, crawfish, king prawns, salmon and blue swimmer crab. Or, to get a taste of everything, opt for the Sapphire mixed boil which includes a lobster tail, a snow crab cluster, and six king prawns.
There's plenty more where that came from, though. Add ons include bang bang orawns, sausage and mussels, while sides look like mac and cheese, cheesy fries, spicy rice, and cheesy garlic bread. Finally, for dessert there's a curated menu of sweets including warm chocolate brownie, tiramisu and churros.
Something Sapphire Seafood Kitchen Leicester also takes a lot of care over is its drinks list. Cocktails sound fun and fruity with options like a Pornstair Martini, Purple Rain with vodka, blue curacao, cranberry, pineapple and Grenadine, alongside Sex on the Beach and Candyfloss Cosmo.
