The best restaurants in East Midlands

Amazing from start to finish. All homemade cakes and a lovely selection too! Definitely worth a visit!! Tucked down a little side street so a little hidden gem.

Lovely little cafe . We had homemade butternut squash soup which was very tasty. Very friendly staff. Extremely clean. Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend

I am very regular guest here in park plaza Faridabad. i feel like its my second home .i like here food and services all staff is so good and so friendly here specially thanks to mr hemant and dayanand

Yummy delicious food. Loved it.

Service and food could not be better, second time round and was just as impressed as last time!

Friendly and welcoming staff from the outset. There were 7 of us in total and we all chose our own toppings for our handmade bars. There were also lots of chocolatey nibbles to eat as we crafted. We learnt how to make filled chocolates with decorative transfers and rolled truffles too! Everything was explained and demonstrated clearly and we enjoyed delicious hot drinks too. I would highly recommend this experience.

We had Sunday cavery and really enjoy it there was pork or turkey and a veggie option with all the trimmings , home made fruit crumble was lovely, the restaurant was well set out and plenty of room between each tables the staff and service was very good , well done to all , we will be coming back very soon .

What a little gem this is tea room / coffee is, tucked out of sight at the back of a garden shop / gift / vintage / bric-a-brac/ games/ curio store, down a little laneway off Church Street in Ripley. It’s a bit off the trodden paths of Ripley, but deserves seeking out and spending a few moments here over a decent hot brew and a delectable cake. The cafe has that vintage, shabby chic, stylish junk shop feel, with its mismatched furnishings and different seating areas (table and chairs, and sofas), surrounded by odd bits of clutter and gifts for sale. It works, and looks homely and welcoming, with the feel of an old country cottage. But it pulls a punch, at extremely reasonable prices. The hot chocolate and mocha we enjoyed were excellent, and were much better than our experience at a Starbucks outlet earlier in the day! I’m not sure if coffee is barista style, though there was a good selection of the usual latte, cappuccino and Americano varieties available, as well as pots of filter coffee and speciality teas. And what an amazing array of cakes, cookies, and slices which are available for your morning or afternoon tea: rainbow cake, harvest cake, carrot cake, triple chocolate cake, chocolate brownies, and black current, fruit and granola, and rocky road slices and the like, with gluten free and vegan options available! A huge slice of rainbow cake was only £2.50. The menu is quite comprehensive, and caters for the breakfast, lunch, and morning and afternoon tea crowd. Breakfast and lunch items are fairly simple fare, such as beans and scrambled eggs on toast, jacket potatoes, and a good selection of sandwiches, paninis and toasties made to order. Cream teas with fruit scones and clotted cream are also available. You can grab a board game to play while waiting or enjoying your refreshments; there’s also complimentary WiFi. We enjoyed our visit, and will definitely return. It’s quirky, and unpretentious, with efficient service. It’s also spotlessly clean, with a top hygiene rating. The toilets were fresh and clean. It's also very child friendly; some tables are laid with games and activities for the kiddies! It’s only open Wednesday through to Saturday, with the coffee shop closing at 15:30. Unfortunately for wheelchair users, there's stairs at the front, and there's a lot of shelves and display units in the gift shop part of the complex that you'll have to weave your way through to get to the tearoom.However, there's seating outside if it's a nice day. Places like this deserve patronage! Give it a go!

Great food, friendly atmosphere, staff are friendly and offer and adapt your meal to suit your taste. Will definitely visit again.

Finding a nice HALAL place in Nottingham to eat isnt easy so when a friend recommended this place and aswell as seeing them all over social media, i decided to go with a friend. The atmosphere was really nice, with gorgeous decor and offer variety of options for food from hot foods to sandwiches or tea/coffee with freshly baked desserts. After a really good experience I opted to go again with my mum and ordered the delicious lamb chops and also had the most amazing fully loaded brownies i’ve ever had. The service was fantastic and i didnt have to wait long for the food either. I also ordered a cake with only 4 days notice and the lady was so nice and accommodated to my every need! I would 100% recommend this place!

This special Tapas event is only available on certain weekends as the restaurant is currently awaiting resale, so it is necessary to check when the next event is scheduled. The food is wonderful and very reasonably priced, with normally up to nine individual dishes for sharing between two people ( or a whole one each if you feel really hungry. There is also a good selection of local craft beers and traditional cocktails etc . The sweets are a real treat, so go on and spoil yourself. A really great night out and a wonderful atmosphere and the staff are wonderful and friendly. We look forward to the next evening as soon as possible.

I was staying in a Hotel opposite and noticed this bakery. My addiction to sausage rolls got the better of me, the one purchased from here is up there with the best. Followed with a chocolate shortbread very nice. A good selection of cakes and pastries overall. After being a baker for 20 years i appreciate the time and effort put in to make such appetising products. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous place that I saw on Facebook and decided to try. We went on the Greek night and Cary and her staff/helpers catered for us specifically as we are Pescatarians and vegan. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere relaxed and chatty , will definitely go to another bistro night

Had an absolutely tremendous dinner with friends. It's as good as any of the high end Nottingham restaurants but had a really nice personal touch. Can't recommend highly enough.

The company has started supplying buffets to the firm i work for and they have a bigger variety than most caterers, including baguets and wraps. Service with smile too. must pop in the shop soon
