The 30 Best Fine dining restaurant in Derby

“Wow! Caught a last minute booking for the ten course - yes TEN - tasting menu. Fab-u-lous! Something so wrong yet right about starting with the unmistakable taste of a Big Mac from the first course but we then cantered through so many creative and sumptuous dishes, each painstakingly presented and introduced by her enthusiastic and friendly team. Start with a cocktail and then enjoy taking your time with the wide choice of wines to suit all tastes (and budgets). We went with a Montrachet as it was a special occasion and the food deserved a wine to match. But please don’t make a reservation - it was hard enough to get one this time!”

“Amazing restaurant with truly delicious Polish food! The Zrazy were done perfectly and tasted just like home. What really stood out was the hospitality, the owner gave us the warmest welcome we’ve ever received in the UK. Can’t wait to come back!”

“Our second time here, first time trying the grazing menu. Food was absolutely outstanding. Louis made our experience special and memorable. Sam and Sadie were very efficient too. Totally recommended. Big thank you for our Instagram competition prize.”

“We visited today for my birthday and oh my goodness it's was brilliant. Absolutely fantastic service from a very friendly guy (didn't get his name!) from the minute we walked in. So refreshing to have a waiter who does things so well. Cocktails were lovely and well made and the birthday card was a very nice touch. We both had three courses, and finished every last bit of it all! Really delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed the Thai sweet potato soup and I absolutely loved the rump of lamb. The flavours were so fresh and delicious. Felt like a real treat to visit somewhere so lovely. Can't wait to revisit! Thank you!”

“Had an incredible meal tonight. The service was fantastic, the staff very friendly and the food superb. Have been multiple times and every time they've put on a fantastic meal every time! Would thoroughly recommend!”

“I cannot recommend Browns Restaurant enough! Absolutely fantastic service- the host was amazing- so attentive. The food was top quality, freshly cooked and excellent value for money. This was a celebration for my Husband’s birthday and Browns went above and beyond to make it special. We are definitely returning very soon!”

“Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Was very busy. Only thing I could fault is the lighting. It's not bright enough. Would definitely go again.”

“Lovely little restaurant located in the heart of Burton upon Trent. The staff are polite and friendly and the prices (Lunch time menu) are inexpensive for a decent dish. I have been multiple times and it's been decent throughout. My only complaint is that the chicken pieces could be a little higher in quality overall. But that wouldn't stop me from going back again.”

“Good, polite service and delicious food. Tablecloths on the tables were clean as was everything else. The salmon starter was quite a small portion, but the mains were big portions to balance it out. The veg that came with the Sunday lunches was all delicious. Would highly recommend the restaurant.”

“Had a team dinner we were approximately 20 people, made a reservation and got there and everything was set up very nicely! The food was delicious really felt like the chefs were able to bring out the authentic flavours of Nepal. Great hospitality, efficient service - bit slow maybe due to the large orders but nonetheless a very pleasant experience.”

“A friend and I arrived without booking and the staff were very accommodating, we had to depart by 7.30, but arriving at 6.15 gave us plenty of time. I had king prawn and chorizo penne which was really good. Followed by cheese cake accompanied by a glass of fizz. Really good food and very good service.”

“Best of the best food, the chips are crucial and consistent throughout, burritos/chicken wings are tantalising and tender with the perfect amount of seasoning. Once you enter the shop you’re introduced by a mix of world class music, paired with top tier customer service. For my first time here it was an experience you would get a michelln star restaurant! Will be going again for many years to come and I recommend AMIGO DERBY to everyone and anyone!”

“Will get South Indian food, food is good. Parking is available for 4 to 5 cars but when we arrived, there is no parking, so parked at Abbey street paid parking (£2.5 for 2 hours). Service was also good. Overall rating is GOOD.”

“Both the food and service were fantastic! We had the buffet option which is not like a standard buffet. You can order as many dishes from a set menu as you'd like and they are all cooked fresh for only 17£. This is our top pick for Cantonese food in the city.”

“Love visiting this restaurant. Simple, but tasty food and good service.”

“The Haleem was amazing along with fresh paratha and chai. A very pleasant experience was had at Chai Hut, the staff were all really friendly too.”

“Good food, quick service times and very friendly staff. Amazing setting, especially in the evening/night”

“This is the best Indian restaurant we have found, it really is worth travelling to. We have been three times so far and it has been consistently good, the main dishes are great then finishing off with amazing desserts and a pot of coffee with a jug of cream after the desserts which is how it should be but so many others aren't. To top it off it is reasonably priced and the setting which is underground really has a wow factor.”

“Fantastic Christmas meal today! Sophie was seeing to our table, and what a fantastic job she did. She was pleasant, chatty, and made sure our meal was exactly what we wanted - couldn't fault the food or the service! Staff were rushed off their feet with it being the busy festive season, but they breezed through it effortlessly. Thanks everyone!”

“The food is very nice plus pudding, cakes. Drinks piping hot. Also with it being in a garden centre you have the best of both worlds, having some fun in the garden centre with Xmas around the corner plenty of Xmas things to look at”

“After having a bad meal year many years ago we decided to give it another shot. Thankfully this time we weren't disappointed. Really good food and nice staff. Will definitely be returning again soon!”

“Great service, very quick and good atmosphere. Fresh brew coffee amazing.”

“Great food in a relaxing atmosphere. The staff and service are brilliant and they make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Been here many times over the last few years and really enjoy walking round the marina where this restaurant is located as well. Nice to have places like this within a short drive.”

“Stayed here for my time in Etwall and you couldn’t pick a better spot. The location is fantastic and the room itself was nicely decorated and well maintained. This is all second to the first rate service and the friendliest of staff, who were extremely helpful during my visit. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in lovely Etwall.”

“Really great food at great prices. Staff are really friendly. Easy parking round the back or a nearby free car park.”

“The woman serving us this evening was incredibly beautiful she was very friendly and kind thank you very much❤️: Sunday 21st December 2025”

“Been a few times and the food and service never disappoints. 5 stars all the way from me.”

“We turned up on a Sunday lunch with no booking and it was very busy. However after a 20 minute wait we had a table. Used the app to order drinks and food, and then headed to the carvery. There was a 5 minute queue, but we'll worth it as the food was lovely. The deserts looked amazing, but we were too full to sample them”

“Delicious food and so easy to order from your table. The live music was a real treat, great place”
