The best restaurants in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

We really enjoyed the tapas menu. There were small and large plates, great for sharing and all absolutely delicious. I had the monk fish and lentil daal which was wonderful, really tasty and well presented. We were amazed at the quality of all the food, including vegetarian options. Wine choice also very good. We had a fantastic evening and highly recommended.

Lovely sunny spot & seemed very popular. I had a cheese and onion toasty, and my husband had a bowl of fresh soup. All tasted very fresh, bread was lovely sourdough and very tasty. Huge bread roll with the soup! Staff very friendly & attentive and offered to bring out some water for us (we didn't order drinks as we had recently stopped off at the local pub). Really pleasant lunch – I would recommend!

We had a dinner here and everything was excellent. The food delicious, varied menu, reasonably priced and lovely staff. Really recommend supporting this family run restaurant.

Like many other regulars I was more than a little apprehensive when the business was sold in July. Fortunately it's been business as usual under Lambton's new owner. The coffee remains excellent, the bread and cakes are excellent and there are a host of unique, quality food options on the shelves. It's my go to place for gifts for foodie friends.

Alfie the staff member was very helpful and couldn’t have been kinder. He was polite to the customers and provided a tray for carrying the drinks.

Called for lunch. We both had the spare ribs from the light bites menu, one with crusty bread, one with chips. Everything was delicious and the staff were really friendly. Thoroughly recommended

A big thank you to the young man (sorry, I didn’t get his name) who worked tirelessly (and cheerfully) on his own over lunch time. It was busy because there was only one other cafe open in Eyam today and to expect him to serve customers, make drinks and clear tables was a big ask but he managed brilliantly. Clearly a very capable chap. The cheese scones are highly recommended!

The service is fantastic wait times perfectly good . The food excellent . The prices fair .location good . Going back this week

Plenty of menu choices.Excellent food well presented and good value. Nice surroundings good views over the town and friendly staff

We stopped by to try there ice cream as they had a flavour my wife wanted to try. The staff were very helpful when I asked to check what ingredients were in the ice cream ( they showed me the ingredients list) due to my wife being a coeliac sufferer. They went out of there way to make us feel welcome and accommodated our request. The ice cream was absolutely lovely and would definitely recommend to friends and family. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

A welcome stop for a coffee and other snacks midway through a walk. Good nearby picnic tables. Friendly service

Had a great meal at Carlo’s lovely little restaurant and were given a very warm welcome by the man himself. We were in the mood for something simple and both had the sea bass, which was served with a salad or saute potatoes, plus a very nice glass of dry rose, finishing with a deliciously light Tiramisu (which we think was home made). Everything was perfectly cooked and our meal was accompanied by a very relaxed vibe. Based on what we had, this restaurant deserves to do really well in a very challenging climate for hospitality business owners. Wished we lived closer.

This place is a hidden gem. Beautiful. So chilled and relaxing. Fantastic atmosphere. Food really good. Live music good. All round excellent evening out.

Amazing food !!!! So delicious and a wide range of options. Staff were friendly, toilet was nice and the interior was super cute.

We have been to Matlock many times but have only just found this lovely little cafe. My daughter and I called on this morning and sat outside, with her dog, overlooking the park. The coffee was lovely and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the Bakewell tart. Pleasant staff. Will definitely be calling in again on our next visit to Matlock
