The best restaurants in Buxton Central High Peak East Midlands

We popped in for lunch while on a day trip to Buxton. A total gem of a place. Welcoming (for dogs too) and cosy with an impressive and varied vegan and vegetarian menu. We ate the soup, curry and quesadillas - all very tasty. The two staff were super friendly and helpful. Finding this lovely spot for lunch really made our day 💫

Have visited Lubens a few times now and I must say the customer service is excellent. Really friendly staff. We have also eaten there a few times and the food is great. Nice environment and not really a lot to fault. Well worth a visit. Can be very busy but easily understandable as it is a great experience.

Sunday roast is fabulous. Last time i ate all the food before i took a photo. The food is freshly cooked and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and everything is clean. A happy sunday roast.

A very welcoming small cafe with a big range of excellent appetising options. We separately sampled very tasty bacon and sausage cobs with equally good coffees. We saw the range of sandwiches and paninis, soups, and cakes available too. All these are home made in house. The locals clearly know it is the best around as it was busy with take aways too. We are tourists and will certainly come again when we are next in the area

Lunch takeaway ordered. £27 for two. Absolutely superb. Watched them make it. Very helpful chefs, offering advice on how to make proper sushi, when we asked. Fabulous lunch. Photo is one lunch portion

Warm welcome, staff were very friendly and helpful. Fast and efficient service, food was absolutely perfect! Would highly recommend.

A great family run restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. Staff were super friendly and the service was great. The food was excellent in both quality and taste. Will definitely be returning next time we visit Buxton.

It was such a treat to go out for lunch and to not have to ask a hundred questions about ingredients and how the food is prepared. Delicious lunch for my daughter and I. Fabulous ambience and tasty food, but best of all 100% gluten free. Paradise!

Hands down the best Pizza I've ever eaten. And I eat alot. Super quick, friendly service. So much variety of toppings and they are happy to switch bits round if needs be! Not only my toddlers fave place but mine aswell. If I could eat here every day I would x

In Buxton as hungry tourists on a rainy day looking for something tasty to take away. Came upon Pig and Pepper which is a bakery that does really great coffee and wonderful sweet and savoury baked goods. We chose a broccoli and cheese focaccia, a flaky Parmesan and red pepper savoury, a proper Scandinavian-style cinnamon bun, and a pecan topped orange polenta cake. Every one of these items was excellent like the highest quality home baking. Lady who served us was super friendly and helpful. Tiny premises filled with nice things!

Absolutely fabulous milkshakes! So many flavours! Grandchildren looking forward to going again now it is open!

Very limited food choice, but lovely atmosphere and the ethics behind the project are commendable. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who cares about the community - it's always good to support such initiatives

Fab little cafe with great food and beer - homemade cauliflower soup was superb and the small plate beetroot hummus and mushroom pate were delicious great attentive service.

Lovely little place with inside and outside tables, next to shop in quiet old arcade opposite the Opera House. Superior food with a local flourish, and Buxton Pudding Emporium shop next door run by same people. Not fast food, quality comes with care and attention which takes time, so don't rush, enjoy the flavours and the quiet location.

An absolute gem of a find. If you like Lego and/or have kids that do then this is perfect. Spent two long session there and the kids can't wait to go back. The engagement of the owners makes it special and the challenges are fantastic. Oh, and the important bit. The coffee was lovely, the waffles were deliciously decadent, and the service was brilliant. See you soon guys.
