The best restaurants in East Midlands

A bit tricky to find, but what a jewel when you do! An escape from Boston to another world! Discovered on our last night, will be our first call next time!

A terrific Vegetarian/Vegan eatery with a lovely selection of foods on the menu. So spoilt for choice it’s difficult to decide. The eatery is very clean and staff are delightful. Check opening times before visiting

I visit this place regularly, the food is great, the staff are great! If you are local to Derby or Nottingham or are going to the airport, you have to swing by and grab a cake or a breakfast!

Great food, excellent value, friendly and helpful owner and staff. Best little cafe in Lincoln. Hidden Gem. Quality of ingredients superb and far better than you’d get for a much higher price elsewhere

I am so glad this place is back to what it is. Post-covid they tried just being a deli and a grocers and the whole of lutterworth missed it. There is nowhere else for us that matches it. The food today was as good as ever, the ultimate breakfast sandwich defeated both that attempted it and we spent a few bob after browsing the fine foods shelf. We've missed you guys and whenever we are back I'm the area we love a quick visit. We did have to wait a little today (which we were warned to be fair). Negative for me today , my latte was with not particularly nice coffee and had quite an amount of coffee grounds in the bottom. This will definitely not stop us from revisiting

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy our lunch at Bloom. The menu looked nice but the pork, lamb and prawns were not available, apparently because the menu was shortly going to be changed. It would have been helpful to have been informed of that before we arrived (they had my phone number and had texted the day before to confirm the booking) as very likely we would have cancelled the booking and tried elsewhere had we known. The food we ordered was not great. The burger and steak sandwich were OK but the fish pie was a bit tough and difficult to cut into and the supergreen salad was basically just a large pile of slightly lukewarm, undercooked vegetables plonked onto a plate, very poorly presented and unappetising. So, all in all, rather a disappointment.

Gemma and her Team made my Retirement Celebration with NottsHealthcare Nutrition and Dietetics Team extra special. Afternoon Teas where prepared beautifully, cakes were delicious and plenty to take home. The Tea Room has such a wonderful atmosphere and the Team is so attentive and friendly. 💎 You are all gems!

Loverly pub bar staff very friendly chatted with the landlord and landlady really nice friendly couple will definitely visit this pub again

We have been searching for a proper breakfast with quality ingredients for some time with lots of disappointments, we gave this place a try and boom awesome. We was not disappointed the service, atmosphere , and a fantastic breakfast we will be back.

We were staying the night in the village and rang ahead to check they would be doing food as we didn't want to get stranded without anything for dinner. They were helpful on the phone and friendly in person. We got pizza to takeaway and a very quick drink whilst we were waiting. The pizza was very good indeed and if we hadn't been knackered we'd happily have had a longer visit.

We have been meaning to try Bab to go for ages & finally got around to it tonight. We got a bowl each & dumplings to take away, & some Kimchi to try to. It was so beautiful - I cannot decide what my favourite part of the dish was! The lady who served us was so friendly, knowledgeable & passionate about the food. We cannot wait to become regulars!

What an experience. Staff: The perfect balance between being attentive and pestering. All staff on shift came to us at the perfect times and frequency. Not too early, not too late. They were so approachable, talkative and lovely. Drinks: Good selection, delicious and cold. Reasonably priced. Food: Now I’m a food guy. Worked in hospitality for decades, own venues, but this food was quite possibly the best food I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. I had the ribs which were delicious, the meat flaked off the bone, barely any fat and the portion size was impressive. Loaded fries were a strong portion with amazing flavour and quality. Definitely not stingy with the ingredients! Side of buffalo wings…Enough sauce to have a pint of after your meal. Definitely not stingy, just the right amount so you can enjoy every bite. I finished it all with zero regrets. All in all I won’t go anywhere else in town now as I have zero complaints about here. See you next time!

I've had a few cakes now from Jamila and I can't decide which is my favourite. Her cakes are 10/10 on taste, decadence and decoration. She understood what I want each time, and all her cakes are the star of each party. Jamila is very lovely to work with and her personality is as beautiful as her cakes. Thank you Jamila!

We visited late afternoon yesterday and were the only people there. The interior is lovely and really spacious. We were quickly served. My daughter had pizza and I had the penne salmon and garlic bread to share. Both were lovely. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. Lovely place.
