The best restaurants in Melbourne South Derbyshire East Midlands

We have been here several times and have always received a lovely warm welcome, the venue is small but immaculate and the cocktails are by far the best ones I’ve tasted (they really take their time to deliver a very well presented delicious drink). We can’t wait for our next visit

A delicious full breakfast and smashed avocado with feta and poached egg. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Went above and beyond for a special birthday breakfast too. Can highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you

Food was amazing and tasty! Presented really well and staff were extremely friendly and helpful with menu choices. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back in future.

I didn’t even know this restaurant existed but it was recommended & we gave it a go and were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is very intimate and we loved the vibe inside. The menu had some really good choices, we both went for the scallops to start and then salmon. Both dishes were beautifully presented, and delicious! Service was friendly, quick and very polite. Really impressed and will definitely return!

Met up with a friend in Melbourne and decided to visit this lovely cafe. Greeted by the owner Charlotte who was extremely friendly and chatty. We ordered the Chicken Flatbreads which were delicious and a Latte and Cappuccino. Prices were very reasonable. They offer breakfast and lunch menu which on this date were both available to use in the afternoon. A good range of food for all. I would definitely recommend if you’re in the area and try this cafe, I will definitely be returning.

Really good food really good service really good atmosphere really good beer 10/10 all round

Just what to say a big thank you for the owner of Forteys for letting us use there upstairs for a polar bear event with the town Christmas lights switch on last year.

Amazing little café!! The staff couldn't be friendlier and the cakes and tea were delicious:)

Stopped here for food and a drink. The food was fabulous, lovely choice of craft beer/ale. Good service. I very much recommend this place.

We were invited to a friends surprise birthday party and fell in love with the beautiful ballroom and it’s stunning chandeliers. The service was excellent and the party couldn’t have gone better.

Consistently good! Always have a good food here! Lots of choice! Well cooked! Friendly staff! Also you can BYO. Also if you have kids and they want something specific for a curry, it’s no problem!

We went for lunch at Harpurs, and we were very happy with our experience. Food is good, atmosphere good, seating comfortable, service friendly and efficient.

Our food was excellent, especially the steak! Staff were very polite and not intrusive. However, the noise levels due to poor acoustics were awful, firstly we had a group of 4 next to us, who were over loud. Then a table for 8 came in and seemed to be shouting the whole time. Interesting another couple who spoke to us on the way out, also mentioned the noise level was high and wouldn’t return.

Very good staff, pleasing food, drinks top quality and overall wonderful experience. Would highly recommend.

It’s now Meaks. Some serious efficiency improvement would benefit this pleasant cafe. For example, customers queue at the front desk to place their order, but this person (singular) also makes the tea/coffee. So the queue gets priority but at the direct expense of the serving of tea/coffee. There has to be a better way of managing this. We waited 20 mins for a pot of tea for 2. It’s not that difficult. Tea Pot. Hot water & tea bag. Cups. Saucers. Milk. How difficult is that. I could make it in the time it’s taken to write this. Mentioned it to a waitress and the reply was ‘we’re busy’. Yes I could see that. This is not a complaint about the staff. It’s an observation on inbuilt inefficiency. Which could and should be sorted.
