The best restaurants in East Midlands

I was visiting Nottingham and had to pop by this chocolatier! Luisa was very friendly and told us about her trips to South America to source the beans. A diverse variety of flavours can be found, and we were treated to several samples of them. I treated myself to a couple of bars, some truffles and an ice cream…all heavenly 🤤

Food (breakfast) tasted funny and we both commented on it. My friend thought she tasted vinegar and I thought it had a metallic taste. 20 mins after eating we both had tummy pains and diarrhoea (we are not a couple so live separately). Not sure if this has changed ownership but things have declined from when we last visited a few months ago. We will not be returning.

We called in early evening. Place was empty, but a very friendly warm welcome awaited us. Seated and served immediately. The service was prompt and polite. The food was excellent. Hot, tasty and plenty of it. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back.

Brunch with family. We walked up from Trentfield Farm campsite Lovely breakfasts. Really helpful and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Staff was fantastic and had a smile on their face to say it was really busy! the atmosphere was unreal and was really good would definitely start coming here more !

X L ent! First class coffee and cake - unfortunately we did not have chance to have a full meal - but will next time. Well prepared and served by friendly and efficient staff who deserve all the praise considering the the aims of the organisation. Long may they continue and be supported by the public, especially considering the competitive prices.

Wonderful welcome Hidden gem .. could easily miss it but don’t be out off by exterior… don’t walk dismiss it and walk pass … New but not be missed

I visited twice on one day, once with my Mum for coffee and lunch (amazing savoury crepe, and loaded fries), and again later that evening with a friend for a cocktail. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and lovely food and drinks

Superb Sunday lunch. Both the mushroom pie and nut roast were delicious. Great roasties and roast carrots. Smooth tasty mash and lashings of gravy. Lots of nicely cooked green veg. Very nice Bakewell tart for pudding with ice cream. Many thanks! .

Yes quality . Well worth a visit

Well it’s a “wow, wow, wow” from me. Run by the students on their City & Guilds Catering course a simply stunning 3 course meal with coffee for just £13.95. It’s set in the new build Longfield Academy but do not be put off by that. Yes there are kids around but the environment is tranquil and thoughtfully constructed with plants providing an ambience which makes it difficult to believe you are surrounded by a 1,000 plus teenagers at school. Only available term time but definitely worth a visit.

One of the best food I had , taste like home food

I've eaten in restaurant several times & had a takeaway.... Fabulous Food... Generous portions..... Wonderful service ..... Highly recommend....😍 Thanx to all involved 👍

So grateful to have this lovely little bakery in Hucknall. The staff are lovely - friendly, knowledgable, excellent service. The food is simply delicious! The best bread, sausage rolls, cakes. Highly recommend a visit if you are so fortunate to be in the area :-).
