Lorentes Derby Restaurant in Derby

   First time we had been and definitely will be the last, the only thing that for me that was edible was a dish of expensive olives, the paella was so bone dry it stuck to the roof of your mouth (left it) and a very poor choice of dessert, the starter dishes remained on the table and was still there when the main course was served, not offered any water for the table, no one came to ask if everything was okay, the staff are very friendly and nice but that's about it, it's a straight in and straight out place not a relaxing atmosphere,and certainly not the proper Spanish food and restaurant that I know

   Sensational food and outstanding service. Every dish was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, and the quality really stood out. The service was friendly, attentive and made the whole experience even better without ever feeling rushed. A fantastic place with a great atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend Lorentes

   Enjoyed an excellent dinner of tapas and paella. The wine list was good offering both budget and better quality wines but the beer choice was not extensive. Many customers were enjoying a jug of sangria. The servers were attentive, friendly and helpful. It is a small place and so the tables are quite close together but best use has been made of the space. My only regret is that we weren't actually in Spain!

   Really cute spot and very quiet with really friendly staff. The food was good but a little pricey for what it was. Nice place to have a group catch up.

   Visited on Easter Sunday for a birthday celebration. Only found out about the place online the day before. How have we not been here before? This is a little gem of a restaurant. Although fairly small, and quiet when we arrived late afternoon, the restaurant had a nice feel from the moment we arrived. Service was excellent all the way through even as it got busier, and all our questions about the menu were answered by the manager who obviously took great pride in the restaurant. The food was excellent as we shared 5 tapas between 2 of us, which was more than enough, although we were tempted by dessert. The selection of wines was good, and the Spanish beers were interesting and varied. Overall an excellent meal, and good value when taking into account drinks as well. We’ll be back.

   We had a lovely dinner here. Friendly staff, delicious food and reasonably priced. The only negative was portions were slightly smaller than usual. But we will definitely be coming back if we are in Derby again.

   Sorry but this place is over priced and over rated. Gambas £9.50 for six Prawns. Chorizo £8.50 not nice bits of gristle in it. Staff are lovely and service good but the food is sub standard.

   My husband and I love Spain. We often visit this country. We were in Lorentes for the first time. We ordered sangries, Iberian ham and cheese board and Paella. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed when we saw that we were served crackers instead of fresh bread and olive oil :( In each Spanish restaurant, guests start with bread and olive oil. As for Paella, it was very simple. No Spanish wines on the menu. The prices are very reasonable, the service is very nice.

   This place is honestly so lovely!! The staff were so friendly and recommended the best dishes and portion sized for our group. Every single item we ordered was so tasty, and arrived quickly and fresh and hot from the kitchen. Definitely will be back!!!

   Enjoyed our tapas night earlier at Lorentes. Portions are generous so pick your favourite dishes and don’t over order. Had the half portion of jamon iberico (complimentary pieces of cheese) which were delicious. Jamon kind of melted your month. Chorizo in honey, potato bravas and padron peppers were decent. Not a massive fan of the croquetas as the fillings are too mushy for my person taste. Pork cheek was strongly recommended. Service was good and attentive.
