The best restaurants in Nottingham East Midlands

Excellent food quality for money customer service really good

Great drinks. Cosy setting. Lovely staff.

Probably some of the quickest service we’ve had in an a restaurant to date. Sat down at 18:02, ordered and served all 6 dishes by 18:15. We had so much time left on our booking that we were able to go and have dessert at another place nearby after! Our waiter was great and really attentive. The food was superb and very tasty. The place had a good atmosphere and we really enjoyed our visit.

I ordered two hours in advance (scheduled for 20:50 on a Thursday) via the JustEat website. 15 minutes before my delivery was due there was still no notification from the JustEat website stating my food was being prepared so I rang Cochin Fort to ensure my order hadn't been forgotten. Soon after my order was being prepared and arrived 5 minutes late so I would recommend anyone who orders at least a few hours in advance to ring the restaurant if there's no update on their food minutes before the order is due to arrive (just in case the restaurant has forgotten one's order). Also I hope whoever answers the phone doesn't talk unnecessarily while the customer is on the phone calmly explaining why they are calling (I didn't know what the representative was saying so guessing they couldn't hear me I had to ask 4 times if they could hear me before I finally got a confirmation they could and they were unknowingly being rude/making out like they couldn't hear me). The food definitely made up for the lack of the representative's phone etiquette and the fact the restaurant may have forgotten about my food order if I hadn't called minutes before my order was due. Authentic- looking, tasting (I'm of Indian descent myself) and the the food is significantly cheaper than those selling the same food so definitely value for money too. My (non-Indian) housemate said they'll definitely will be ordering from Cochin Fort in the future

Amazing place, such a different vibe from the usual drunken shouty types. This place is pure class. Such a chilled and relaxed environment where you can have a full on wine tasting session with an option of an exceptional cheese board. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Thank you James for being so kind and so knowledgeable on the wines and thank you to Grace (I think) for producing amazing cheese boards. I am a regular now but such a shame James is leaving 😢

Ashe the owner is a very friendly person and I always enjoy the drinks in there, plus the range of milks on offer! Ideal for a mid day catch up and has a lovely community atmosphere

Excellent value and very tasty food! The garlic and thyme fries are amazing

Best pizza in Nottingham Been to Slice n Brew a few times and always leave happy. Staff were wonderful; friendly and attentive.

Absolutamente la mejor experiencia de servicio al cliente que he tenido. Servicio extremadamente paciente, servicial, bien informado y alegre - que es una rareza en estos días. Muchas gracias. Lo siento, recuerda los nombres, joven encantador, jovencita y mánager, todo increíble. Dunkin 'tienes un gran personal.

One of the best dinner spots I’ve found in Nottingham. Amazing atmosphere and such tasty, high-quality food.

I recently celebrated my 30th birthday at Jenkins Bar, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Carolyn and the team were so accommodating, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. The venue itself has a fantastic atmosphere - intimate, stylish, and perfect for a celebration. With the number of guests I had invited, I opted for exclusive hire (upstairs and downstairs), which worked brilliantly for a mix of family and friends. So many of my guests commented on how great the space was, with many saying they hadn’t known about the bar before but would definitely be returning! One of the highlights was working with Luke, the mixologist, to create a personalised cocktail for the night - it was such a fun and unique touch. The bar staff were fantastic, keeping up with a busy night while staying friendly and efficient. Carolyn’s clear communication throughout the planning process also made everything so easy, and on the night, everything ran smoothly. We had no problem meeting the minimum spend - safe to say, everyone had a great time! Another big plus is the bar’s location - just outside the city centre, making it easily accessible without the usual city crowds. I also really appreciated the flexibility of being able to bring our own food and drop off decorations earlier in the day, which made setting up stress-free. If you’re looking to support a small, independent business with a unique venue for a private event, I highly recommend Jenkins Bar. A huge thank you to the entire team for making my birthday so special!

First time here, it's bigger on the inside.... just like the Tardis!!

When ever am passing through Nottingham with my family for a visit, this is my go to for the best breakfast in town. The staff are so polite i can not moan, take it from a moana.

Not the same as normal, I wonder if it's new management? Pizzas looked smaller and not as well cooked. Not the same branded packaging as before. Didn't get as many wings as usual and not as much sauce on them either. Don't think I'll bother again.

Sin duda el mejor lugar de música jazz en vivo en las Midlands. El ambiente es tan relajado y cómodo, los actos en vivo son brillantes, la comida es excelente y la amplia selección de bebidas es perfecta para una noche animada pero sofisticada.
