Carnero Lounge in Derby

Probably my favourite place to go for a relaxed meal in Derby. The vibes are chill, the staff are lovely, and the food is delicious, with plenty of vegetarian & vegan options. 10/10 🫶🏼

First visit with my granddaughter who is a Vegan. Excellent choice of dishes for her. Friendly welcome, nice seating areas, I chose the lounge breakfast, smoked salmon was so tasty, eggs were perfect. Granddaughter had Vegan burger with salad and coleslaw, definitely no complaints about her food. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.

Came as a group of 8 and service was fast and food was lovley. Catered for vegans too

Food was good but not very warm. No-one came round to check everything was OK.

Lovely tapas, included a drink great value and very tasty. Service was good. A little let down on first impressions as we're greeted by a kinda annoyed lady that there was 6 of us. Taken right to the back of the room on what seemed a quite rather empty evening.

Had the tomato and mascarpone sandwich, was excellent. Our coffees - mocha and latte could have done e with being a lot hotter though

Awesome venue :) great food, brilliant staff, would highly recommend coming in. Brilliant variety of food n drinks on the menu 😊

Place used to be buzzing but when u went in recently, customer interaction & general behaviour of sragg & management is immature from A young blond girl who seems cocky in her ways plus place smelt if Garbage Can,, wouldn't recommend place plus over pricey Reply to owner You don't need to ask me to show up again as 1st impression counts,,, respect to customers in a place like morroco where i am away niw beyond belief You need to learn from others Will see my friend , happy to edit if i see changes on next visit

The place is good and nice, I just wish they did singles nights for 20s and 30s still like they used to.

Won't be back. The girl with the drawn on eyebrows is very rude and the other one wasn't much better. I thought it was just me she was being rude to but then noticed she was rude to her colleague in the kitchen too.

This place is great, staff are super friendly, the food is always great and on time, and the atmosphere is superb, 5/5 across the board

Called for breakfast today. The Lounge eggs with bacon was tasty and filling and my wife's Smashed Avocado brunch was equally well received. It was early, and therefore empty, so any sort of atmosphere was lacking but the staff were friendly and the service quick and efficient. The only negative was that it seems a little expensive against similar out of town dining places, but maybe that's because I'm not used to city centre prices. Overall a positive experience, but I'll perhaps try having a lie in next time and arrive in time for an early lunch, as the tapas look good and appear better value.

Vegan sausage sandwich only had one sausage sliced, and the bread was a bit bleh.

What a wonderful quirky place, with incredible food! Highly recommend.

We've been to several lounges around the country, but carnero was our first as well as our local. You can never go wrong, food is always of good quality with a wide selection of drinks. Staff are always friendly and last time we went we took our 4 month old puppy with us, staff were perfect with her and all 3 of us felt welcomed

Amazing food, the service was so fast and friendly, and they are so good for allergies - two gluten free teenagers in our party found plenty of options and were well looked after, with allergy flags in all the food. Came back twice and didn't have a complaint between us!

My friend and I had a lovely meal here, we both had the same, a Beyond burger with fries. It was my friends first vegan burger and she said it was great, the burger toppings helped, especially the melted applewood cheese. The fries were perfect, the coleslaw was ok, seemed vinegary, a good vegan coleslaw is hard to find The restaurant itself is really different, interesting and huge, I can’t remember what is was before but they’ve made a large space really comfortable The staff were very friendly, attentive and we were checked on a couple of times. I really enjoyed my burger and would definitely come back

The Buddha bowl left too much to be desired. They're great for an all day breakfast but seem to be lacking past that. The Drinks are great.

Amazing bar. Exciting menu, delicious food. Staff are all wonderful. Our server Amy has a wonderful smile and amazing attitude. We put through quite a large order and she did not bat an eye. 10/10 would recommend anyone come here the vibe is amazing and it's an amazing place to chill and socialise

First time in Derby, and Carnero did not disappoint. Wonderful food, very tasty, great staff and atmosphere. However it's always disheartening when managers have a meeting at a table with diners and hearing uncomfortable business conversations whilst trying to eat.

Myself and my two daughters decided to have brunch at Carnero lounge and so glad we did. Food was delicious, easy to order on the app and the service throughout was excellent. The girls were all so friendly. Had a couple of drinks before we went to the train station and they were amazing too. We sat outside and it’s a great place for people watching! Highly recommend and we will return….we’d like to try the tapas!

Lovely meal had the Beef Brisket Chilli......excellent meal also added chorizo. Served by friendly attentive staff.

A weatherspoon style ambience and experience at the corner of a street decent priced selections and good food.

Often come here for lunch and it's always lovely, staff are friendly and service is great, it's my go to place ❤️

Great selection of menu, nice to see a different variety of food compared to standard pub grub food. Buddha bowl was really nice and tasty, good coffee and we also ordered a chicken, avocado burger which also went down well. Staff all really friendly and nice. Ordering really easy through the qr code on the table.

This is the perfect place to meet up with friends for a drink and a bite to eat.

Prettiest raspberry mojito ever made 12/10

Very friendly attentive staff. Great gluten free menu.

Been here a few times, keep talking it up so it’s about time to leave a review for you guys. Love this place

Lovely food, good drinks, and plenty of space.

Friendly and inviting establishment. Nice food, good value for money. Play area for children and even outdoor seating area.

Very quick service from friendly and efficient staff. Felt welcomed in a place with a great ambience. Great food at reasonable prices, which was well presented. Background music was pleasant and not intrusive. Our first visit here and not. All the Lounges we have visited have been equally good and we always look for one, when visiting a new town.

I am here once a week for an event gathering and everyone is incredibly lovely, this is one of my favourite places to go to, also the food is amazing!

Good food. Good service. Nice place for a gathering of friends. Not pictures I’m afraid. I had the burger which was good. Ordered a side of parm fries which were probably the best fries I’ve had in a restaurant. Definitely go back.

Finding a place that is genuinely wheelchair friendly is not easy. The staff at Carnero lounge were brilliant - allowing us to reserve a table and using elephant’s feet to raise the table. Furthermore, the food was fantastic! First rate all round - definitely worth a visit.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff!!

for a french guy, nice vintage deco, nice atmsophere, very nice service and food

Really lovely place, been here a few times and every time the staff are lovely and food is amazing! Thank you

Had another lovely time here. Food is fantastic with vegan and gluten free options. Thank you to all the staff yesterday especially the gentleman on the tills in the morning Saturday 27th April He was so kind explaining to me the difference between tolerance and allergies with reference to the meals. It was really helpful.Thank you. This although vibrant is also relaxing and has little areas to sit and enjoy company or on your own.

Lovely place,great food and an amazing GF menu We will be back.

Lovely place to relax and enjoy a drink with friends.

Amazing bar. Have been on several occasions, always has a great atmosphere and the staff are spot on.

Food as got much better here had full breakfast very nice drinks hit an miss feels like they cut you short on the alcohol but plenty lemonade, service would be a 4 younge girl long blonde hair very rude needs to work on her customer service all the other staff are brilliant place is always clean , shame about you closing early on a weekend.an bring back two for the price of one drinks please

Blonde with eyebrows was so helpful, really friendly when she served us. Lovely to talk to someone who’s interested in your day. Great service

Had a delicious aubergine harissa flatbread. There's also a kids playing area which my toddler enjoyed while I had lunch.

Very enjoyable little lunch here at a reasonable price. We went because my son is vegan and there's a separate vegan menu! He was happy with the all-day breakfast and I enjoyed the 3-tapas deal. Staff were very helpful and polite and the photos and artwork covering the walls was very interesting. Will return.

Food was awful. Avacado rock hard and looked rotten. And side order of fries would not have fed a bettle.

Always enjoy Carnero. Can’t pick a favourite, love the big breakfast, had some great burgers, tapas is yummy. Great menu! I went to the opening night. And have been a fair few times since. My 3 year old loves the play corner and craft table. He may work leaving meal there. Always a winner in my book!

Absolutely love my breakfasts here

I was visiting some friends in Derby from London and came here for brunch after reading the reviews. The staff are very polite and their food is top quality for affordable prices. The hash browns are the best I’ve ever had :) The atmosphere is lovely to sit and look around and they also have some quiet ambient music. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a spot to eat. Will definitely be coming here again :)

Food was great and the service was prompt and efficiently delivered with a smile.

Every week my partner and I come to carnero for drinks and food. We cannot fault the food or the service, the staff are all lovely and helpful - Especially Aimee who goes above and beyond to sort things to accommodate for my partner's disability. 10/10

Great spot! Very good dishes. Tapas and mains are banging. A good value and very flavorful. Sam and Aleisha were very attentive. 10/10

Excellent dog friendly bar/restaurant. One of our party was vegan and another was gluten free and the choices for both were excellent and very varied. The prices are reasonable and the food was cooked perfectly. We will definitely return.

Fantastic food and ambience, highly recommended. Looking forward to coming back

Staff really friendly and the shasuka was devine 😋

Great, great, great! Great atmosphere, staff and food. The tapas meal deal was morish.

Food was nice. Only thing was the portion of chips was pretty stingey and the chef constantly banging the bell was a bit irritating. Otherwise pretty good.

Lovely set up and the food was delicious. We were booked as a table of 11. This unfortunately resulted in some of the food been bought out cold and some dishes quite late to arrive to the table. But the food quality was spot on and the staff we super helpful. My only advice would be to keep those covers warm and try and deliver those big orders in a more timely fashion.

It was my first time for me here and I met a friend. It's so relaxed and lovely ambience. Had a get together with a larger group for the Tuesday Tapas which was really enjoyable and the staff worked really well to get all orders ready. Food was wonderful and especially Gluten free menu. So happy about that. Thank you

This place is amazing, the service, food quality and atmosphere are all second to none. Highly recommended.

Absolutely spot on, food is flawless, service is friendly, polite and doesn't take too long. Certainly one of my new favourites.

Amazing value for money, the food is fresh and tasty. Perfect portion sizes & friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere and child friendly. Our new favourite place to eat! Highly recommend!

Lovely food, the cafe is very clean, quick service and staff are so helpful and friendly. Thanks again see you again soon

I was recommended this place due to the GF menu and we were not disappointed by the range that my boy could have. Almost matching the regular menu. The staff were friendly and the food was great. I went with family (and we loved the board games whilst waiting) but would like to try with friends as the cocktail menu looked great!

We met our grandchildren here on Shrove Tuesday, just like we did last year and the experience was just as good. The pancakes quickly arrive and there is a great choice of toppings. Very pleasant staff, building with atmosphere. Thank you!

Big inside and a nice warm feel. Met a friend for breakfast, she's gluten free and luckily there was a whole menu she could choose from. Fast service and nice coffee. A nice chilled place to go

The best breakfasts I ever had! Service was fast and really friendly. Overall it's an amazing place and I am eating there in a regular basis

I’ve been many a times to Carnegie lounge over the last six years and I’ve always had mixed views. When I’ve been in the morning or the day time the food has been great. But on too many occasions the food in the evening, especially midweek days has been well below standards. For example; chicken wings seem to have been microwaved and have dried up. I ordered a beef dish that arrived with next to no beef which was sent back for a replacement. The replacement returned with NO beef to the amusement of my friends. Please don’t offer food, or reduce the selection during midweek evenings if you cannot reproduce the same standards of the weekend and daytimes. Staff have always been very polite and happy to help. Just a shame about the food… sometimes.

Unfortunately the only things on the plate were the hash browns, the beans were stone cold and were sent back to be warmed up and unfortunately they came back slightly warm, left the beans and won't be returning.

Had a lovely few unexpected drinks this week at carnero. We popped in for one but the buzz and incredible play list kept us there. One of my colleagues wasn’t sure what lager she wanted, and the bar lady, Amy I think, was very considerate in waiting and helping to guide our choices. A few espresso martinis cruzcampos and rums later, and we had to leave. Shame we had eaten as the food smelt delicious. Will definitely be back. Thank you all x

A good brunch spot if you are looking for a large selection of different dishes. The service is fast and the food is good 👍🏼

Great place to go with babies. Very cosy, easy access with pram, very spacious to leave pram near the table and dim lights allow little ones feed and sleep. Very good food selection in the menu, including vegan and gluten free. I just love the place

We came in,the place looked nice ,we stood at the waiting point to be seated to be told we could sit anywhere (so no reason for waiting) by a woman who had a very sad face and voice like she didnt want to be there, she proceeded to keep this face the whole time ,we were confused how to order so asked one of the waitresses about it and she very snarkily told my boyfriend "oh well thats why we make you wait to be seated" she was a very rude woman wearing a cropped top which was innapropriate for work along with her attitude ,my boyfriend then went up to the bar to be told that they couldnt swap my vegan bacon for a veggie sausage and that it would be FOUR POUND to add ONE SAUSAGE , and TWO POUND to take mushrooms of his plate. We then waited for our food which came with cold meat on our plates ,we then complained, they took our food away and brought back food .... to my suprise the vegan bacon was still cold. When i was eating, i had to look at the waitresses sad mopey expressions walking past us constantly ,i will say the man at the bar with the beard and the male waiter with the black hair were both very nice but the ladies were hostile and even though the food was mediocre, not bad at all the staff ruined the whole experience and we will not be coming back.

love this place, food is always delicious and service was lovely. staff are all friendly no matter how busy and service is speedy. will come again

Staff accommodating. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on toast. Waited ages, for overcooked scrambled eggs thrown on top of toast. Received 5 mins after friend got hers by which time it was barely warm. Would have returned it but in a hurry for cinema. Few people dining at this time

Ordered from vegan menu, lots of varieties. Main and taps are delicious. Very easy to order, international credit card didn't work unfortunately, waiter is very nice and helpful, plenty of places. I loved the decor inside the restaurants

Had a lovely lunch today with a friend. The food was perfect and all of the staff were friendly creating a festive atmosphere. Love Carnero lounge and would highly recommend! :)

We had a lovely lunch here myself and my wife, I had the chicken flatbread and my wife had the 3 tapas menu, the restaurant is lovely and clean and very nice decor, staff were very polite and the the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. Definitely worth a visit and we will definitely use again when in Derby

With two gluten free individuals in our party of four, this was a brilliant option. Great vegan menu too. The lamb curry was superb. Friendly staff, excellent service. Thank you .

We had a really lovely time at Carnero lounge. We came as a family with grandparents, parents and two children. The food was absolutely delicious. There was a great selection on both the main menu and the kids menu and it was so good we all cleared our plates! The staff, particularly a lady called Aimee, were fantastic with my children. She talked to them, brought them activities to do and entertained them, they had a brilliant time! We will definitely be back again, thank you for a great evening!

Had a lovely evening for a friend's Christmas get together. Staff were really welcoming and friendly as soon as we arrived. The food was absolutely lovely (we had the 3 course Christmas menu) I had turkey pie with all the trimmings which was so good! Love the quirky decor and the music was a perfect level where you can actually have a conversation! Felt really looked after by the staff and would 100% come back!

My daughter loves coming here and she was on inset day so decided to treat her to lunch for a mother and daughter day, The staff here are so welcoming and helpful and the prices are not too bad either,we had yummy coffee and cake and home made soup. I really recommend this place 👍😊

I have visited this place a number of times and have never been disappointed with my visits. Always has a lovely atmosphere and the food has a great selection and comes out in a very speedy time. I look forward to coming back soon.

Carnero Lounge is my go to place in Derby for a relaxing and friendly eating experience. Very calming and nice atmosphere with a great menu selection if you are celiac, vegan or vegetarian. Lunch, breakfast or later meals. The tables are a good size and plenty of room between them which makes it disability friendly but not sure about bathroom access in that regard as the regular ones are upstairs. The staff are super, always friendly and helpful. Great place to spend some time and enjoy a meal.

Good food at a good price and best of all they do Birra Moretti on tap 😋

Love all the Lounges think I've been to them all on my travels. Always good food,

Me and my friends all come here ever wednesday after school for a study session and a chit chat and grab a coffee! The atmosphere here is something so peaceful and comfortable with its great lighting, music and decorations really make it a special vibe. It’s very hygienic there’s not a spot of dirt insights- bathrooms are always clean. Aswell as it’s state of cleanliness, the smell is really nice with its light up candles. The staff are so sweet and polite and are amazing at their jobs at making us feel welcome! Aswell as that the food and drinks here on the menu are so good and are always top notch- always nice and fresh! I rate it 5/5 because i’ve been to other places before, that have never had such a good quality food and had a great experience! I come here because it’s a comfort place for me and my friends and we never doubt our choices coming here because it’s so great- one of the best places in Derby.

I came here for a couple after work drinks with a colleague and the service and atmosphere was impeccable. We had a couple pints of Cruz campo and our server Aimee was very friendly and nice would definitely return for again!

Lovely catch up for birthday breakfast 🎈 The best gluten free breakfast I’ve had by far, not substituted with un eatable products, looked just as good as the non gluten free ones. Will definitely recommend this place and definitely be back soon. As well as the great food the staff and place itself were also great 😊

Really nice and cosy place, quite atmosphere (at least on Sunday morning), friendly staff and fast service! Very good selection of vegan food! I had a Vegan Smashed Avocado Bruch toast and coffee with oat milk. It was really tasty, I wish I had more, as I was nicely presented and seasoned with some chillis. Good coffee too! I’ll definitely come back to try other vegan meals there 🌱

Came for brunch had a French vanilla latte and the flatbreads lamb and chicken all really tasty sweet potato fries were 10/10!

Cosy atmosphere, great food which is served quickly. The QR menu is easy to use.

The only place to eat in Derby, also our border Collie Pippa drags us in the staff are so dog friendly. The food and service spot on.

Central, so a good place to meet. Good food (really good macaroni cheese with bacon) and decent service but a bit dark inside the building. Lovely staff who were willing to interact and have a laugh. A good evening.

They offer full gluten free and vegan menus with plenty of options for multiple courses. After some information gathering, my coeliac friend and I took a punt and ordered burgers with chips and a dessert to share. We had a lovely meal and my friend had no issues with the food. The staff were super helpful as I scoped the place out and very friendly.

Carnero lounge used to be our favourite place, went in there today for my wife's birthday, and we were treated so horrible, my wife is diabetic she had diabetic biscuits in a paper bag. And the waitress said you can't eat those sandwiches in here!!!! We said there is no sandwiches in there, there is biscuits she didn't care she was horrible.. The place was disgusting food on the floor everywhere empty plastic We used to go in there everyday nearly, especially me while my wife out shopping but I won't be going back in there again especially after we were treated so horrible. Beware ordering through the QR CODE, As it can take forever for your order to arrive. Asked to complain was told don't care, have new staff in.

Outstanding..... Just had breakfast here with family. Fantastic visit, staff very friendly. Service and food amazing. Thank you for a great time you have set the family up for a great day. Please visit to have a great time

Lovely place, real nice food and good prices. Staff are very welcoming and friendly.

First time visiting here this evening and really liked it! Good atmosphere, nice seating and good drinks. Would definitely visit again! 😊
