Alchemilla in Nottingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We tried the 3-course tasting menu, £75 Starting with four delicious snacks served in quick succession. A beef tartare ,french toast smothered in parmesan,a hash brown with truffle curd,and a aged beef chawanmushi. Followed by house-made sourdough, served with creamy cultured butter. Then,Roscoff onion paired with smoky eel, gremolata, and black garlic. We decided to order the optional course of Bbq leek, smoked yolk, chicken skin, Umai modem caviar £17. For the main course we had John Dory, New season sweetcorn, nasturtium. For desserts a beetroot and blackcurrant tea cake, and a chocolate, miso, banana and lime. To finish a lovely coffee and petit fours included. Now,they say 3 course tasting menu. Various restaurants we have been to would easily class this as a 10 course. As well as taking into account the surroundings and profesional,friendly service,it's extremely good value. If you arrive early you can have a pre-meal drink on their roof garden terrace,weather permitting. Available Wednesday/Thursday for dinner sittings and Friday/Saturday lunch.

We went for the 7 course lunchtime tasting menu with the wine flight. On entering we were asked if we'd like a pre lunch drink on the roof terrace which was beautiful. I wasn't expecting it to be there so on a lovely summers day it was a real treat. I also noticed there were heaters available for chillier days. The food and wine were superb and the staff went out of their way to explain what was in the dishes. It was particularly interesting to hear about the origins of the wine. As well as the 7 courses there were 4 little extra dishes in between. It was obvious that much effort went into each dish. Yes, it was expensive but it was a luxury experience with no expense spared with ingredients, presentation and service. A real treat!

Restaurant had a perfect ambiance to match the tasting menu and wine pairings, which were phenomenal. The highly knowledgeable staff were quick to cater to our table and we all had a fantastic experience.

An exceptional experience, focused around the most exquisite tasting menu and wine pairings I have ever encountered. The staff were extremely knowledgeable across every element of the 7 course dinner and provided impeccable service throughout. Special thanks to a young member of the team Jacob who took his role seriously and yet engaged warmly all evening.

Absolutely stunning. From the moment you walk in the moment you leave. The staff are attentive and helpful. When asked what was my favourite dish. I simply couldn’t choose as there was so many different and wonderful flavours. Very highly recommended

Great food and excellent service.

First visit to this Michelin starred restaurant, and I will certainly be going back. We had the taster menu, and the meal overall was absolutely top class. The service was simply perfect, and the staff were extremely knowledgeable about the dishes. Quite simply exquisite food, service and all-round experience.

Really loved the venue which a lovely atmosphere. Staff were excellent and had just the right balance of professionalism and friendliness. Food was excellent but a lot of the courses were not to our taste and I wouldn't want to eat them again. There was not enough champagne choice for our liking. The whole experience was great and we would definitely recommend but we would visit other places before returning. Totally worthy of the Michelin star.

Great food and excellent service. Really good produce and inspired combinations. Wine pairing with the lunch menu was perfect.

A long outstanding dinner which was made extra special by the wine pairings and great staff who made the evening one to remember for a long time. The onion starter was a real delight and the pigeon was exceptional.

My review would have been very different before realising the discrimination I have just faced. This evening, my husband and I dined at this restaurant for the second time. We were seated in a corner towards the rear. As the restaurant began to fill up, the middle and front sections became occupied. Then, a black man entered with his partner and was also walked past the middle section to the back, right into a corner. This jogged my memory of my previous visit, where I, a black woman, was also placed in a corner. After conducting some research, I discovered that this is a common practice in racist establishments. I will never set foot in this restaurant again.

On Derby Rd, you might miss it as there is little indication of Alchemilla. Step through the door and you are in a brickwork ex-carriage store with arched ceilings and natural light, and you see straight into the kitchen. First impressions count and the count is high. We had the 3 course menu, supplemented with some extras and the food was supreme, the wine pairings perfect and the staff brilliant. I'd love to name-check them but there were a fair few who looked after us. Easily on par with my other, limited, high-end dining experiences. Well worth a visit.

The fine dining experience was slightly dampened by the deafening cavernous echo, the trouser-spoiling price of the set menu (with no alternative), the OTT amount of food plus, admittedly, my hangover.

Had the most amazing Indescribable food at the restaurant. The concoctions were magical from start to finish. I had scallops which were presented beautifully, different kinds of mushroom, aged beef chawamushi, scallop soup and the most delectable sea bream. It’s truly worth a visit. Really an experience.

Not the first but definitely the best visit we have had. 7 courses plus snacks plus cheese washed down with excellent wine. Service was very good despite all of the staff being different to when we last came 10 months ago. Fantastic evening with a relaxed atmosphere and looking forward to our next booking already.

I've been to a few michelin restaurants and compared to the others, only the hoggit and hash brown dish were worth the star. The rest off the dishes on the taster were no better than a regular restaurant and not worth the price. The food doesn't live up to its looks.

Came here to celebrate Mother's Day. The food was excellent, as was the atmosphere

Terrible! I have never seen a chef in my life who tastes food with the same spoon before bringing it to the guest. Yes, you heard right! The chef serves the food with the same spoon he tastes it on. Although he should use a different and unused spoon for each taste, he simply wipes the spoon he licked before and uses it again for each service. I wish they included hygiene in their perception of luxury. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Lovely evening. Staff are excellent. Food is stunning and the wines are fantastic.

A wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived we were made welcome by a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The dining room has certainly been designed with a uniqueness and flair. Delicious food including an excellent vegetarian menu. Well worth a visit.

This is the best fine dining restaurant I have tried worldwide! It deserves at least 2 michelin stars anyway. I have been coming since they opened in 2017.The fantastic tasting menu has to be accompanied with their amazing rare wines selection.This experience is a must for those who really know about and respect food!

Fantastic experience. The food was sensational and the wine pairings were so well chosen. I’d say the dessert courses were less successful, but it’s all subjective.

I gave this a 3 star only because I felt like the whole experience was rushed, taking wine away b4 i finished and putting food on the table while still eating the other

Simply superb Superb environment Superb atmosphere Superb waiters superb service And superb food and wine Will definitely go back on our own and with friends

What an amazing experience. My wife booked this for my birthday tonight. We are both big foodies. Really appreciated the time and labour of love put into this menu. The lobster dish as well as the hash brown was a salute to my pallet but the liver parfait blew me away and the venison was the best I have had. Personal greeting from the chef Alex Bond was homely and all floor staff clearly love what they are doing. Give yomourh an orgasm and book here!

First visit and overall was very good if you enjoy tasting menus and fine dining. Unique building and layout. Kitchen a little distant from everything and ambience was a little on the relaxed vibe so great if not fairly standard/easy. Loved the snacks so much so made the squash dish seem v average. Other dishes were very good.. Even desserts were nice which can be difficult.

My first impression of Alchemilla was astonishing. I didn't expect the brick walls and atmosphere, it feels like a historic place, very green and private. The fine dining was as expected, great quality food and a great service. What really made this place unique was the artistic and culinary touch on every dish. I could feel the passion for smoke, fire and Japanese ingredients on each of the dishes. Elevating all the ingredients, for example a dish was made out of only mushrooms, and it was stunning! We had the pescatarian menu, and I ordered the optional Chawanmushi, and for me you can't miss out on the main dinner with Turbot, the Chawanmushi, the Mushroom dish and the Koji ice cream. Parking could be difficult, and I would suggest to park on NG7 3GD

Absolutely loved this place. We came for my partners 21st Birthday and had the seven course menu with supplementary courses added. The staff were so knowledgeable in their field which was a pleasure to see (myself working in hospitality) and service was definitely given with a smile! We both enjoyed discussing the dishes at great length (my partner especially as he's a chef!) and any questions we had about the dish was answered with ease. The dishes were excellent- even ones that wasn't the sort of things i normally enjoy were brilliant! The only dish we didn't think was great was the tomato dish but that definitely didn't matter much to us! 100% will return in the near future. Alex and his team are amazing, thanks guys! ❤️

So many courses it felt rushed even though we took four hours, a great experience all the same

Everything was incredible, nothing disappointed. The service, the food and the knowledge with every item of food and wine was fascinating. This was a belated birthday present for myself but my partner and I had the best afternoon and will 100% be back! The aesthetics inside are beautiful and perfectly fit the theme of the food. Couldn’t recommend enough for the most amazing culinary experience.

I was taken here for a surprise birthday treat and I was certainly surprised! Every dish was a taste explosion, taking everyday ingredients and turning them into something exquisite. The mushroom course and the fermented mushrooms desert being my absolute favourite! I don’t know how they did it. Thank you to Alex and the team for sharing their talents. Highly recommend

Wine pairing was a bonus point - no wonder was awarded AA in notable wine list

The food was very original and absolutely delicious (especially scallop). The service at his highest level. You will be served, I think, by 6-8 different members of the team that will explain you the course through smallest particularities. Definitely would recommend to all food enthusiasts.

Absolutely fabulous evening celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary. The food was outstanding - combinations we would never have imagined, and the wine pairings were amazing. The team were wonderful from start to finish - very attentive, friendly and professional. We made some great memories and had an evening to remember.

OK and loooooooong. Yeah not my cup...

Lunch. It is one of Nottingham's finest restaurants. We had their 5 course menu £95. Now, available every service. Some restaurants would class it as 11 courses with all the snacks and bread. Not gonna list what we had. Just drool over the pics. We love Alex , and his team is amazing. The food and service were spot on as usual.

We had been wanting to try Alchemilla for a while but could never grab a reservation. This was a good sign and we were very excited for our pre Xmas treat! Unfortunately it didn’t really live up to expectations. They could not accommodate a pescatarian menu without prior awareness despite them having a sample pescatarian menu on their website. We ended up having the vegetarian and regular 5 course tasting menus with the corresponding wine pairings. My husband had the supplemental beef course which came with a wine pairing also. The service was good and it all seemed well organised. The sommelier was especially helpful and knowledgeable. The venue is stunning and very lovingly restored. Unfortunately, one member of staff had no clue about the history of the venue which was disappointing given its Michelin status, but another colleague rectified this and shared a lovely photo book of the restoration. The food overall was a miss for us. Clearly the execution was of a high quality, but at times the combination of flavours was simply too funky. I acknowledge that is a purely personal taste, but we both left full but not satisfied. The wine was well thought out albeit the pours were not generous for £55. Another issue with this restaurant is the cost. At no point is it clear there is an additional cost for the beef supplement wine pairing so it was a shock to see an extra charge on the bill. We questioned this and it was promptly removed without argument so well handled. Also be wary that they do not offer you tap water at the outset of the meal - you have to ask for it specifically. Again another hidden charge for the still water we had. Finally ensure you see the coffee menu to understand the cost of this. We had 2 double espressos and some petit fours each which was an additional £20+. So nearly £50 extra than was explicitly laid out. A very expensive meal which didn’t quite hit the mark sadly. We won’t be back.

Amazing food. Great service. Had the 7 course tasting menu, with lots of extras, was eating for about 3.5 hrs, and it was all delicious. I had the standard menu and my dining partner had the vegan, which was jus as impressive, no vegan after-thought menu, a proper, delicious selection of food that stands up alongside the standard menu. Canapés: Chalk stream trout was delicate, light and delicious. The pickled celeriac was a surprise, a good one! The hash brown was fantastic. Smoked scallop soup was incredible, I'd happily have a whole bowl full of it! The bread was really good with the cultured butters... And then came the actual menu... The squash course was excellent. Then came a delicious scallop, they know how to cook scallops here! The mushroom/liver dish was amazing, so much umami. The bream was also delicious, although both my partner and I felt that this course should have come before the mushroom course. I didn't have the optional beef course... The 'main course' of venison was incredible, beautifully cooked. The optional cheese selection looked good, I saw other diners enjoying them but didn't partake myself... The dessert courses were a bit odd for me... My dining partner loved them though... The Koji sake Lees was nice, I found the sauce a bit overwhelming at first, the caramelised corn was amazing. The chocolate dessert was a bit 'mushroomy' to begin with, but grew on me by the last mouthful. We didn't take the wine pairings, had a bottle of malbec instead. A great experience, if you can afford a visit, I would recommend!

If you crave umami but don't have much capacity for fully solid food, this is for you. Plenty of interesting flavours prepared mostly in baby food format.

Excellent. Really exceptional. Probably the best 1 Star in the UK. Amazing taster menu. Wine flight is amazing. Service incredible. A must. Go. Enjoy

Heard lots about this place but never been. Location, atmosphere and service is great. Really pleasant waiting staff. The food came out with lots of time which added to the evening and meant we had lots of time to talk and really enjoy the ambience. The food - it wasn’t really for us. While we tried stuff on the tasting menu that we wouldn’t normally try, ‘we like what we like’ and this wasn’t what we liked. The things we did like were the snacks but the courses didn’t live up to our expectation. Interestingly the sommelier was necking glasses of wine as they were serving glasses to the customers…. Maybe that would have made the food more palatable to us….

Stunning food in a relaxed setting. If you can afford it, go.

Really nice decor and restaurant setting. Food was interesting and quite nice. The service was excellent. Eye watering expensive but nice for a special occasion. The main problem was that you have to pay a £50 deposit per person to book. Sadly our friends phoned in advance and reduced the booking due to wife being sick with covid. When the bill came they kept £100 for the couple who had to cancel. Sharp practise especially when our table were spending £250 per head. Left a bad taste and it wasn’t from the food. Shame.

Once again stunning food, innovative and interesting as always. Friendly knowledgeable professional staff. Worth every penny.

Every plate on the tasting menu is as exciting as the last!

Enjoyed the 5 course tasting menu. The entire experience was excellent. The food originally inspired, focusing on umami flavours & natural fermentation. The whole family enjoyed all courses. We opted not to have the matching wines but the Sommelier helped to make some excellent drink choices, including our first taste of a Polish wine. The building is beautiful with red brick arches, skylights & a live moss wall. The open kitchen also adds to the overall experience. Well done to the whole team. Everyone involved seemed really enthusiastic about their product & were keen to ensure the entire evening was faultless.

This place doesn't need a fat secondary school cookery teacher to tell it how good it is, but regardless I'm doing it anyway. Booked in for the eight course taster with matching wine EVERYTHING was tremendous. The sourdough from an 11 year old starter, the three unexpected starting canapés, that awesome smoked scallop soup and then the advertised dishes. The scallop with the English sparkling wine was superb. The Armenian red with the pigeon was near perfection. Loved the move away from wine at the end as desserts came with a sake, then a Madeira. Bloody incredible. Service was top notch, with a sommelier that my dining partner fell in love with. Spectacular...

Food amazing and worth top end price but wine is a rip off and very over priced for the quality. House Red shiraz 175ml at £24 per glass.

Amazing evening with fabulous Vegetarian menu in Michelin star restaurant

Brilliant! And I'm very hard to please. First time I've visited and it wont be the last! My new favourite restaurant. It use to be Rick Steins or Cleaver and Wake.

Wonderful restaurant, lovely atmosphere, amazing food, friendly service and the wine pairing really enhanced the simply stunning menu. Thank you.

We’ve been here before and that was an exceptional experience. Sometimes going a second time can feel a bit familiar, but in this case it was anything but. The 7 course tasting menu with the wine pairings was wonderful. The delivery of the wine with an explanation of history, location and how it compliments the food was excellent and the food was sublime. We didn’t go for the Aged Beef this time but I don’t think we would have had room. Service was top notch as expected. We’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is simply one of the best restaurants around - the food is inventive and sublime, really well judged as is the wine flight. Unassuming setting, it is somewhere to come back to frequently. There were no weak dishes and the invention and surprise carried on right to the end. Highly recommended

There are only a few places in my life that has completely taken me by surprise, and Alchemilla is one of the them. From the warm and welcoming staff, the amazing menu, to the wines, I can't thank them enough for putting together a memory that my husband and I will have for years. If you can afford it, do it. The restaurant is clean and the service is above and beyond, each willing to tell history and stories. Even asked the staff to sign my copy of the menu. Absolutely an amazing experience. Hopefully one day we can return!

A delightful experience from the very start.

A once in a decade treat for a 50th birthday: did not disappoint

Had a superb meal at Alchemilla with parents who had not visited since just as it was opening. They were blown away by how much it had improved. We had the five course meal with lots of tasty amuses bouches etc. I told Alex how much my Mum was enjoying the fab homemade bread. My Dad found his English sparkling wine a little sweet. The wait staff overheard and insisted on changing it to a drier version at no extra cost. After our two desserts we couldn't even fit in a coffee! Thank you Alex Bond for the take home present. It made my Mum's day! ( She shared it with us too) Yum. I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The customer experience is second to none! Staff are sooo well trained and the food is sublime.

Food amazing but on average we were waiting between 15 and 20 minutes between each course (there were 7) - and considering how much it costs, the levels of disappointment rose fairly exponentially.

Our 1st visit to Alchemilla would fully recommend this place for an evening full of tasty surprises both from the food and wine

Amazing dining experience. Fabulous service from Jen ,her knowledge & engagement were superb . Thanks to the team & Jen for a fabulous evening. Don& Rosie:)

Great food great service great place, some unbelievable textures and tastes, well worth getting there early to enjoy the outdoor garden too, the tasting menu sublime, would recommend to any 'serious' foody!

Took my partner here for their birthday as a surprise. It was our first time and it was fantastic! All the staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and knowledgable about the menu. Our sommelier in particular was more than happy to chat to us at length about the wines. The food was like nothing we had ever had before. Everything was great, absolutely delicious. We opted for the extra optional courses and they were definitely worth it! The aged beef and caviar in bone marrow is to die for. The selection of cheeses was broad and tasty, and my partner enjoyed all the wines as part of the tasting menu. It was a calm atmosphere inside, not too busy and the tables are set out thoughtfully so everyone has privacy but we didn't feel excluded from the rest of the room. I will definitely be reccomending Alchemilla to others.

My wife and I went for a special dinner and special is definitely the word! One of the most amazing meals I have ever eaten! The menu does not have much meat on it but die hard carnivores won't feel left out. The flavours are sensational! The place is beautiful and the atmosphere is intimate. The staff are friendly, attentive and not at all snooty (which often happens at this kind of place). A visit to Alchemilla is definitely expensive but it is absolutely worth every penny. We will remember this experience for a long time!

Sensational menu! The staff was lovely and very knowledgeable about each dish and wine. The whole experience took about 3.5 hours. Alex is a phenomenal chef!

Third time here and it is easily one of the best restaurants in the whole midlands. Alex is a genius in the kitchen, with inspiration from Japanese flavours and Uber modern cooking techniques and beautiful plates, the whole experience is worthy of the star, but beyond that, it’s a food experience that if it was in London, it would be easily £250 per head. So at £90 for 5 courses (which is easily 11-12 servings) I actually think it’s also fantastic value for some of the best food in the country.

Amazing pescatarian and vegetarian options. Friendly and helpful staff. A fun and delicious experience. Mark's top tip: port is not a sauce for cheese.

It is a chic little cozy restaurant wrongly tucked away in an uninteresting neighbourhood. By public transport, I dropped off at their nearest bus stop and the way going there was an unpleasant residential walkway so booking a taxi going back was mandatory. I took the liberty of doing the wine pairing for the 10-course tasting menu but it was a hit-or-miss for me when complimenting the dishes. I ended up cutting down on the number of drinks as it was only making me full rather than enjoy the entire menu, albeit, rather tipsy. None of the dishes really stood out other than the oven-fresh bread and artisan butter. One particular dessert with rhubarb gave me a mild, but bearable, burning sensation on my tongue. Of course nothing happened to me, but it was rather concerning despite that I did try to finish the dessert. I vaguely remember any petit fours at the end of the course. I appreciate the intimacy of the seating plan, and ensuring I arrive early gave me the opportunity to soak in the brick-layering architecture to myself for a couple of minutes. The ambience has a minimalist approach with warm, cozy lighting and a touch of greenery to elevate the mood. Never chanced a glimpse of their chef, a simple Michelin gesture unfortunately missed.

Great vegan food and wine pairings

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve/we’ve ever had. Not only was the food incredible throughout our entire taster menu, it was delivered perfectly and totally beyond expectation… the crew were cool as. Perfect balance between attentive, considered, knowledgable, but also let us breathe it all in. Wine was perfectly to our taste upon consult and cocktails were insanely good. Really enjoyed interacting with all that came to our table… ‘it’s just food’…. Couldn’t agree more! Couldn’t of asked for more and so so worth the p’s 😝. Loved it. Huge props to all at @alchemilla we will see you soon! All the love, abbie and rich x

Lunch One of Nottingham's finest restaurants. There's a reason why this restaurant has a Michelin star. They have a seasonal changing menu. All served in a beautiful Victorian carriage house with red brick vaulted arches. We had their 5 course menu £95. Now, available every service. Some restaurants would class it as 11 courses with all the snacks and bread. We're not going to list what we had. Just let the pics do the talking. We love Alex Bond, and his team are amazing. The food and service were spot on as usual. #finedining

A magical journey with food. Take you to many places in few hours Surprised by the talented chefs. Respect to the expertise of our story telling service from Thomas We celebrated our 2nd work anniversary Walking in this beautiful place second time Welcomed by Michelle and team We chosen 7 courses （see photos )

Amazing food. Exceptional service, Compared to the other Michelin star restaurant in Nottingham, this always offers a far superior menu.

My partner and I came here to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and we loved our meal here. The service was impeccable, all staff were accommodating and knowledgeable, and the food was incredibly good. It’s expensive but absolutely worth it, especially if you’re celebrating a special occasion.

Amazing food Amazing service. This was a Christmas present I’d bought for my Mum and she loved it. We apologise for my Dad who described the food as just ‘nice’ to the chef.

My partner gives alchemilla 5 stars, I give it 3 stars so this review will be an aggregate. Overall it's a simply beautiful space with an open kitchen we had a table overlooking, so that was fun! The food is creatively inventive and certainly deserves its michelin star. We went for the 10 course which i recommend as my two favorite dishes, the fish and the bergamot, were only on this menu. The bergamot itself was a fabulous lemon tart with charcoal roasted top that gave it so much flavor. The reason my partner loved it so much was the boldness of the flavors, and this was my least favorite part. To me it felt like it was trying too hard. I dont think the chef, who is definitely one of the best, has yet to find his soul in his food. In the meantime he's experimenting, and thats to be celebrated!! We all go through that phase. It just doesnt feel quite rifht yet. When that authenticity is found and communicated though, thats when this (or another brand) will get 3 stars. Another point that made this experience drop one google point for me was the service. Little details were overlooked such as bottled water from other brands and only taking our coats at the table. Also, the wait staff got into arguments in front of us and were on edge. It was clear some of the servers were forcing a smile at the table and were overall not in a good mood. Also, the woman supposed to be there to answer our requests was at times looking everywhere but the tables with an expression of boredom. Took us longer than expected to ask for some drinks. To end on a good note though, they did let us come an hour early and we appreciated that as our plans changed in the day.

This is without doubt my favourite non-budget place to eat at. Fabulous food with a focus on natural, less meat and full-on flavour. Marvellous service in a formal but very friendly and welcoming environment, with extremely well designed decor to match. The wine list is great and sommeliers fabulous. Having been multiple times, I can tell you every detail is consistent too.

It was a fantastic meal in wonderful surroundings. Each of the 10 courses of the taster menu came with a different and unique flavour with its own focus on what the star of that dish was. The service was great, striking the balance perfectly between professionalism and warmth whilst still not being afraid to give a little of their own personalities. Our visit was all that we hoped it would be. We had a fantastic few hours here and couldn't recommend Alchemilla enough. Thank you to all who made our night one to remember.

This is a lovely place and the food was great and paired fantastically with the wines. So essentially 5 stars for the categories but 4 stars overall as it was very expensive (more expensive than other one star Michelin restaurants I have been to), also they could not do me a floater coffee. Some of the dishes they served compared to the size of my plate made me smile. The venison was defiantly a highlight, I also thought the eel was delicious.

We enjoyed a 7 course taster menu with wine pairings. One word would be spectacular. An intimate environment, attentive service and the food was interesting and perfectly executed. It challenges your pallet in a positive way. As said earlier, spectacular.

Excellent , but it should be for the cost. Wine mark-ups are especially annoying and ridiculous 300-400% mark up on wholesale prices.

Back again at one of my favourite spots to eat! This time for a belated birthday for a friend. We had the full 10 course tasting menu and a board, and shared a wine paring. This place never fails to disappoint. The food is incredible, every time I’ve been it gets better and I don’t know how. The staff are fantastic, it’s relaxed fine dining with a bit of fun and how it should be. She thoroughly enjoy her birthday celebrations! I’ve always felt extremely welcomed by all here and will definitely be back - already booked for March!

Started very strong. Incredible food. But then slowly the items became less punchy. Tried too hard and lacked what the formers held. But the first few dishes, including the venison were phenomenal. Didn’t like the seaweed dishes overly. The lobster was incredible. Will edit this review shortly. Amazing setting. Great staff. Amazing host. Waiting was ever slightly slow. Great alcohol menu. Ten course is a must. I would recommend wine pairing but would probably be too much for ten courses. Overall very expensive for a one star. Almost the same price as a london 2 or 3. Wouldn’t compare exactly to a one star further north.

Absolutely incredible experience last night. The venison main dish was our favourite, I don't normally like mushrooms, but loved it here! Would recommend to any foodie!

the food is good, but not awesome, and the experience is significantly marred by poor acoustics making it difficult to hear anyone who is not seated immediately next to you.

Absolutely fantastic place. The food was superb, some pairings that raised the eyebrows but worked amazingly. The staff, ambience and wine were also first class. A fantastic birthday treat 🙂

芸術作品のような一皿一皿の料理が楽しめます。それぞれの料理に合わせたワインを提供してくれるので、食べ物と飲み物の調和を感じることができます。入店時には、植物に囲まれた屋上の席で食前酒を楽しんだ後、趣のある店内でメインの料理をいただくことができます。スタッフの料理やワインの説明も素晴らしく、食と美に特化した非日常の時間を過ごすことができます。

Excellent. A unique experience of flavour and incredible service.

Fabulous staff food very disappointing. Tiny, tiny portions, don't go for the 10 course taster menu! Didn't stay for the last 2 courses, flavours absolutely bizarre, fish dish raw (husbands was cooked though). Stopped off for food on the way home. Sorry guys, was expecting something really amazing, very disappointed.

an atmospheric place, worth a visit

Me and my partner came for a 7 course lunch with wine pairing. We have both been to other venues with expensive taster menus before and had a wonderful time. The bill at Alchemilla came to £410, in honesty the experience wasn't bad but it was far from good, and it certainly didn't deserve this price tag. We found that 75% of the menu came with some sort of white sauce and it left both of us a bit fed up of it all, by the time we got a red meat dish and the only glass of red wine for a 7 course meal it was a bit too late. In addition the bread they served us had a hair in it and one of the glasses of wine was corked. I don't have a problem spending money but I begrudge that meal and unfortunately I'll never return.

Great restaurant. Very very special tasting menu, professional and friendly staff.

Had the seven course taster menu and wine pairings. The food was nice some wasn't to my taste but that's my own personal choice not the fault of the restaurant. The restaurant was lovely in its unusual setting and couldn't fault the waiting staff at all they were all fantastic. Only took a point off as I found it slightly expensive.

A belated anniversary meal... and the venue, food and service made all the waiting worth while... stunning amazing evening brilliant. Fine dinning in Nottingham as good as London or else where this is a venue we will return to. You guys are fabulous 👌 thank you for making our meal a perfect celebration of us x

Food got some interesting propositions, but nowhere near to the price charged. The service is poor and unfriendly . The place is amazing though . The wine options proposed , limited and one-sided.

Absolutely stunning 10 stars for me👌👌👌👌👌

Beautiful food -- highly creative and excellent presentation. Exceptional service.

Vegetarians, vegans and pescatarians of the world rejoice, Alchemilla offers a tasting menu for each diet. And not one where you are treated as an inconvenient second class dining citizen, but one where vegetarians and vegans are welcomed with open arms by chef Alex Bond. We had the 10-course vegetarian tasting menu with wine flight and a whole host of other goodies and surprises. The team were exceptionally attentive without being stuffy. A fine balance of professional and friendly. If I could afford to eat here every month I would. We will be back, thank you. In summary, flawless, my dear.

Charming resteraunt. Michelin style service and some dishes exquisite but not cheap. If you can afford it, don't hesitate

Exquisite flavours, both with the meat and vegetarian dishes (3 meat eaters and 1 veggie). We had the 7 course tasting menu, with at least 5 “bites”/canapés. The wine pairings were excellent, and really added to the flavours and experience. A host of knowledgeable staff and sommeliers who offered service. It’s not cheap but it is absolutely worth it.

Exceptional food. We had the 10 course vegetarian menu which was a really good experience food wise. The seating we had was a disaster and ruined our experience. Extremely noisy and chaotic. We just finished our meal and it feels like we had a fine dining meal inside a dishwasher. Commented on this ealy on during our meal, but staff was unable to reaccomodate. However, very pleasant staff and service. Made the trip to Nottingham because of this restaurant, so very disappointed and sad based on that. If you live in the area; ask for take-away as the food is good, but the over-all experience is disappointing.
