Bar Iberico
Lunch / ££ / 10/10 Someone asked me recently about all the restaurants opening in Nottingham with a question about the impact on the older restaurants that don’t have the buzz of ‘new’. I made a mental note to make sure my money supports those I have loved for years and while in town on…

Sexy Mamma Loves Spaghetti – West Bridgford
Lunch / ££ / 8.5/10 On a sunny lunchtime in autumn we decided to try Sexy Mamma’s in West Bridgford. We were warmly welcomed and decided to sit in the sunshine on the high stools by the window. The restaurant is the newest opening from the stable of Botti di Mamma, Crazy Fish My Love…

Destination 105 – Lady Bay
Dinner / £££ / 9/10 For months I walked past the church on Trent Boulevard – it has been a hive of activity during the day with trades and deliveries coming and going. The daytime energy was in stark contrast to evenings and weekends when the doors remained shut, lights out, no sign of life.…

Langar Hall
Lunch / ££££ / 6/10 On the hottest day in August we decided to treat ourselves to lunch at Langar Hall. It always feels special coming here and I enjoy it the most in the summer when you can have a drink outside, before going into the wonderfully cool dining room. Happiness fizzed inside as…

The Speciality Coffee Shop/Lilac Eatery
Brunch / ££ / 9/10 Me and The Northerner had a free weekend, no plans = bliss. Well except the nearly one year old who won’t be held, but can’t yet walk. Having dropped down to one nap we decided to ‘make the most of the morning’ and headed to a country park before going…

Public
Brunch / ££ / 9/10 My sister had been reminding me ‘Public’ was coming/opening for a while, I had only seen a few online ads where it looked like M&S was being invaded by croissants so decided to give it a go on a rainy saturday in August thinking the weather might mean it would…

Raymond’s
Dinner / £££ / 7/10 In the old Oscar and Rosies site in Hockley (which was previously the old Mondo Comico site – jeeeez I feel OLD) a little bit of magic has happened. No one could ever accuse this building of being full of character. From the outside it looks like a mix between…

Alchemilla
Dinner / ££££ / 9/10 Alchemilla opened on Derby Road 6 years ago but it already feels like it has been part of the city for more than a decade. Lockdown has warped time (especially in hospitality) and we wanted to go back in summer after our first visit in autumn proved a little off.…

The Devonshire (Soho, London)
Lunch / ££££ / 9/10 The Northerner kept mentioning The Devonshire, he had been served a couple of video reviews online and was enamoured by the menu. We looked to book and realised the place was in demand. They only release reservations 4-6 weeks in advance and get booked up quickly. As we already had…

Baresca
Lunch / ££ / 8/10 Baresca isn’t new to the cities tapas offering but I have visited more times in the last couple of years than I had in the previous 7 it has been open and so looking for an alternative to a sunday lunch while in town we headed there. Tapas restaurants meet…
