Nottingham
Selected entries from the current guide for Nottingham.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Two Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 91 points place Restaurant Sat Bains at the sharper end of British fine dining, operated from a converted motel on the industrial fringe of Nottingham. The 'Prelude' and 'Overture' tasting menus run at £199 and £249 per person respectively, with rooms available for those who want to extend the experience overnight.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Occupying the vaulted brick arches of a Victorian carriage house just off Derby Road, Alchemilla holds a Michelin star and ranks among Nottingham's most serious fine-dining addresses. Chef Alex Bond runs either a three-course menu at £85 or a seven-course tasting menu at £140, with a wine list weighted towards natural producers. Ranked 398th in Opinionated About Dining's Top Restaurants in Europe for 2025.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
A Michelin Bib Gourmand holder tucked behind Enfield Chambers on Low Pavement, Kushi-Ya runs a charcoal-grill izakaya format that sits well outside Nottingham's tasting-menu tier. Skewers, small plates, and a concise Japanese drinks list at mid-market prices make it the city's clearest reference point for ingredient-led Japanese cooking done without ceremony.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
The menu moves across the Mediterranean basin and beyond, threading yuzu and dukkah alongside Spanish and North African foundations. At ££ pricing, the midweek Express menu makes it one of the city centre's most accessible Michelin-recognised options.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Tucked above a city-centre alleyway in a period building of exposed brick and aged timber, Piccalilli runs a concise small-plates menu where familiar British flavour combinations are executed with precision. Three to four plates per person sets the right pace. The wine list is short, carefully chosen, and honestly priced, a format that sits closer to neighbourhood favourite than destination dining.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
A Victorian banking hall a short walk from Market Square, Delilah Fine Foods has operated as Nottingham's most serious deli-café hybrid for over a decade. Breakfast runs until noon, lunch spans platters to lamb kofta, and the shelves are lined with carefully sourced provisions from Nottinghamshire breweries and beyond. It sits in a different tier to the city's tasting-menu restaurants, but fills a gap none of them do.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Derby Road's Most Eclectic Room The building on Derby Road gives little away. Step inside Little Brickhouse and the effect is immediate: mismatched chairs and tables line both sides of a narrow walkway, the walls are dense with work by local...
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Raymond's sits in Nottingham's Lace Market on Stoney Street, operating at the sharper end of the ££ bracket with a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025. The format is counter seating, sharing plates, and a wine list weighted toward by-the-glass pours, a combination that has built. Fish crackling and a concise, seasonally inflected menu set the editorial tone.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Harts occupies a quietly authoritative position in Nottingham's dining scene, operating from Park Row in the city centre. The restaurant sits within a competitive tier that includes some of the East Midlands' most discussed addresses, placing it alongside a small cluster of venues that have helped reshape expectations for serious eating outside London. Booking ahead is advisable for those intending a considered meal.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Greek cuisine's emphasis on provenance, olive oil, seasonal vegetables, grilled fish and slow-roasted meats, translates well outside its home geography when handled with discipline.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Kokoro occupies a compact address at 7-8 Exchange Walk in central Nottingham, sitting within a city whose dining scene has grown considerably more considered in recent years. The format, pacing, and ritual of the meal here reflect broader shifts in how Nottingham diners engage with food, with more attention to sequence, sourcing, and the physical act of eating than the city's high street past would suggest.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Kottaram Restaurant on Maid Marian Way places South Asian cooking within Nottingham's increasingly confident independent dining scene. The address sits close to the city centre, making it a practical choice for those moving between Nottingham's broader restaurant options. Precise details on pricing and booking are best confirmed directly with the venue before visiting.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
La Rock Restaurant sits in Sandiacre on the western edge of Nottingham, placing it in the quieter residential fringe that separates the city from the Derbyshire border. Detailed venue data is limited at this stage, but the address and setting situate it within the broader Nottingham dining conversation, a city whose restaurant range runs from two-Michelin-star creative tasting menus down to accessible neighbourhood plates.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
On Derby Road in Nottingham's western residential corridor, Mollis occupies a stretch that sits between the city centre's more established dining quarter and the quieter neighbourhood streets of Lenton. While detailed data on the venue remains limited, its Derby Road address places it within a broader Nottingham dining scene that has grown considerably in range and ambition over the past decade.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Pizza Pilgrims on Carlton Street sits within Nottingham's casual-dining corridor, bringing a Neapolitan-focused pizza format to a city that has increasingly made space for single-product specialists. The chain's approach centres on wood-fired technique and imported Italian ingredients, positioning it in the mid-market tier between fast-casual delivery and the ££££ tasting-menu rooms for which Nottingham is also known.

Nottingham, United Kingdom
A Michelin Selected hotel occupying a row of restored Georgian townhouses on Nottingham's High Pavement, the Lace Market Hotel sits at the centre of the city's most architecturally coherent neighbourhood. The conversion preserves period detail while delivering a hotel that reads more as a design-led urban property than a heritage novelty. For visitors wanting proximity to both the cultural quarter and the city centre, the address is well-positioned.
