The best restaurants in Buxton Central High Peak East Midlands

Passing through Buxton and its such a shame it's too early for lunch. Lovely place. Beetroot and Rose latte is gorgeous! They sell frozen home cooked pies with a huge range of choice. Brilliant alternative to a supermarket ready meal. Sadly I won't be near my fridge for 8 hours...

Lubens is always a lovely experience! We booked a table early in the evening prior to visiting the Opera House which is only about five minutes walk away. We've eaten there previously so were confident the food would be excellent! We weren't disappointed it was as good as ever. We both had a starter then had a vegi sharing platter which was very well presented and tasty. I finished off the meal with a lovely desert. We had a couple of beers and a bottle of wine and the whole thing was under £80 which, for the quality of the meal, we thought was very good value for money. The restaurant has a lovely look and feel and draws you in.

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.

The best Italian in Buxton. The food is delicious, the staff are brilliant and Gio is legendary. The perfect place for any occasion. Highly recommend.

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!

The best pizza I've ever had...the dough was so light and fluffy (you watch them throw it while you wait), could eat mountains and not feel bloated. Thr topping choices are inspired... dont be tempted to go for your usual, you won't be disappointed.

We went for breakfast and weren’t disappointed. Our vegan breakfast was very tasty with plenty of delicious items. The cafe had a really friendly feel as well as offering plenty of options for something to eat for local Buxtonians or visitors alike as well as plenty of vegetarian and vegan options.

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.
