The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Well it’s a “wow, wow, wow” from me. Run by the students on their City & Guilds Catering course a simply stunning 3 course meal with coffee for just £13.95. It’s set in the new build Longfield Academy but do not be put off by that. Yes there are kids around but the environment is tranquil and thoughtfully constructed with plants providing an ambience which makes it difficult to believe you are surrounded by a 1,000 plus teenagers at school. Only available term time but definitely worth a visit.

Fantastic fish and chips. Service was super quick. Matlock as usual makes you think you are at the seaside!!

Great quality food and coffees. Staff were really friendly and helpful and seemed happy to be there. Such a nice experience we ate here 2 days in a row and will be back next time we visit Ashbourne 🥰

Delightful location, gardens are lovely and impressive views of surrounding countryside. Fresh craft beer, good quality food. New staff member Reuben served us and was friendly but professional. Decent portions and prices reasonable for the overall set up. Only slightly odd aspect is we were originally told that there was no availability. But this was perhaps an hour before the place filled up. In the end, after enjoying our drinks for half an hour, we were told that the chef could squeeze us in.

Top place we went to on our trip to sheffield and around. Chose it as it was dog friendly and so so glad came here. The setting was beautiful. The music chilled and relaxing. Service was excellent- thanks Oli. And the breakfast fabulous. We had smashed avocado and poached eggs on sourdough, the pancake stack with biscoff sauce you just want to keep eating, the fully loaded hot chocolate and great cappuccinos. And even the glass of water was served elegantly!! A must try place for breakfast before you tackle those hills!!

Beautiful place and the afternoon tea fantastic. Gorgeous surroundings and furnishings in the orangery restaurant. Very accommodating staff and had the afternoon tea on Easter Saturday . Super fresh scones, cakes delicious, sandwiches lovely and fresh! Better than the ritz in London! 🤩 Absolutely lovely experience! Thank you very much 🥰

The Balti is an excellent restaurant. The staff are very smartly dressed, very welcoming, very polite and friendly. The staff are attentive. The menu is excellent. We ordered our food and it arrived promptly. It was delicious, very tasty and piping hot. I cannot fault it. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We visited on Tuesday evening 11th March to find it closed with a sign up to say it was closing down on 16th March 2025. There is a big sign outside advertising for new management to take the business over.

This was our first visit to Piedaniel’s for a family birthday. It certainly won’t be our last! Everything about the experience was spot on, from the warm greeting on arrival, to the spacious and comfortable setting, the perfectly judged service ( friendly, timely and discreet) and of course the food! The meal was delicious, attractively presented and in generous portions. Freshly baked focaccia and handmade truffles were served as unexpected treats and confirmed the sense that this is a place where they genuinely care about quality for it’s own sake. Every person in the party commented on what a great choice it was and I have no hesitation in recommending Piedaniel’s to anyone looking for a wonderful meal in a serene setting with friendly service.
