French cuisine restaurant in Nottingham

“On the 1st of November I had the most incredible 40th birthday party at La Rock. Daiva, Nick and all of the staff absolutely blew myself, my husband and all of the guests away with their exceptional standard of service. Now as regular customers we are used to their high standards but with 55 guests, nearly all of which were drinking they made sure everyone was attended to leaving everyone as impressed as we always are. There was never a queue at the bar, the food was incredible and the way they constantly checked in with me to make sure I was enjoying myself and everything was ok just added to the whole experience. I have the most ridiculously long list of foods I have to avoid and this never seems to be a problem. No matter how complex this gets they take it in their stride and serve me with dishes that look as good as every other guests. Their relaxed and calm manner helped when at times the night became quite overwhelming. I really can not recommend them more highly ❤️”

“We were made to feel very welcome from arrival until we left. Cosy atmosphere. The staff were great and menu and food authentic and tasty. Wine choice was good and house wine very good. Speed of service was perfect for a pre theatre visit. No hesitation in recommending. We will return. Thank you!”

“This is hands down one of the best restaurants in Nottingham. Cosy vibes. Good quality French cuisine. Friendly service - Roman is so lovely. I always look forward to seeing what specials will be on the board. Keep doing what you are doing!”

“Amazing quality of food, great menu selection, gorgeous cocktails, and such a lovely atmosphere on every visit!”

“Absolutely fantastic. The food was AMAZING, service was great. The place is lovely inside and out, we were there for dinner tonight (30th December), only thing wrong with the evening was that the table behind us seemed to have a couple seated who were “influencers” (idiots) who seems to be streaming whilst complaining constantly about everything and each other……. I can only hope they catch me in the background scowling at their effort to ruin our and everyone else’s enjoyment of this excellent restaurant.”

“First time at a Polish restaurant but not my last. Tasty,excellent service,clean and fantastic value for money. 1800 early doors on a Wednesday and in half an hour the place was nearly full,that tells the story in itself,definitely a regular spot for me now.”

“Had a gorgeous meal here yesterday. Service is perfect. Ambience is perfect, we chose to sit in the sunny window which was lovely. Food is amazing and so fresh and tasty. Will be back again definitely.”

“An amazing out of this world Anniversary treat an overnight stay and full tasting menu experience. I could never find enough wonderful words to describe how much we enjoyed our visit. The service and staff were fantastic over and above any normal experience. But the food deserves its own range of superlatives the chef's are without doubt incredibly talented and a credit to Sat Baines ( who was in the kitchen) If you ever want to try an unforgettable experience this is it well done and thank you.”

“What an absolute gem this place is. I’ve been tonight for my birthday and everything from the friendly service to the food was outstanding. Thank you for a lovely evening Massimo and Allesandro x”

“We came for a birthday party and the food was beautiful. All the staff are friendly and service was really good. We sat on the terrace which I’d definitely recommend too, although it was lovely everywhere inside. Will definitely be coming back ☺️”

“I have been coming here for years, everything about this restaurant I love. The staff, the atmosphere and food. Was back there Friday as it was my husbands 50th an it was amazing. You dont need to go anywhere else or he entertainment an vibes under 1 roof.”

“We had a lovely meal here with genuine Italian food. Everything was cooked and presented well. The service was kind and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant. The location is excellent and we would definitely return.”

“Fabulous food at Pistachio, my favourite place to eat in Nottingham. Would recommend the halloumi and the dips! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.”

“Ciao!! Live local and first time to visit here. Good Atmosphere, good food, delicious carbonara 再見!（Goodbye in Cantonese) Must visit again!”

“I have been eating occasionally at Amores for many years, but it was probably about 5 years since my last visit. I had clearly forgotten just HOW GOOD the food is. The menu is great to enable you to construct the dish how you like, choosing your main component (i.e. meat) cooked in a way you like and then selecting appropriate sides, such as pasta, fries, veg etc to suit your mood. The options are all so very tempting! Service is quite speedy, with very helpful and friendly staff making you feel well looked after. The Tiramisu is divine... it was all exceptional but I will be having dirty dreams about that dessert.... If you haven't tried it yet, please do. It's well priced and you will leave feeling so very very happy.”

“City Restaurant on Redford Road is my absolute haven, a culinary oasis that I find myself drawn to three times a week – and for good reason! The star of the show is undeniably their whole chicken, a masterpiece of juiciness that keeps me coming back for more. Paired with the delightful combination of white and yellow rice and the unique touch of kozi, it's a symphony of flavors that leaves my taste buds in pure bliss. As I step through the doors, I'm always struck by the beauty and cleanliness that defines the interior. It's not just a restaurant; it's an experience. The attention to detail in creating an inviting atmosphere adds to the overall charm. Now, let's talk about their customer service – truly a shining gem. The staff is not only friendly but also incredibly helpful. They make each visit feel like a warm reunion, and their welcoming lentil soup is the perfect embodiment of their hospitality. And then there are the chickpeas and beans – a savory delight that never fails to impress. I haven't dared to try the fish yet, but if it's anything like the rest of the menu, I'm sure it's exceptional. City Restaurant has become a staple in my weekly routine, and I can't help but give it a well-deserved five-star review. The combination of outstanding food, a clean and beautiful setting, and customer service that goes above and beyond makes it an absolute standout. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out on a true culinary adventure!”

“If you're looking for a truly satisfying and delicious breakfast, look no further than Lounge Bar! The breakfast they prepared for me was simply outstanding - one of the best I've ever had. Ziggy served me and he clearly takes pride in his work, and it shows in the attention to detail and quality of the food they create. From the perfectly cooked eggs to the crispy bacon and delicious sausages every bite was a true delight. But it wasn't just the food that made this breakfast special - Ziggy's warm and welcoming personality added an extra touch of charm to the experience. They clearly love what they do, and it shows in the way they interact with customers. Overall, I would highly recommend Lounge bar to anyone looking for a top-notch meal and a friendly atmosphere. Five stars all around - thanks for the amazing experience!”

“Lovely little cafe/restaurant on Long Eaton high street. Huge menu of classic British food. Really tasty! Fat and friendly service. Would definitely visit again.”

“Always have a great Carvery here. Fresh vegetables and delicious meats”

“Don't let some of the negative reviews put you off visiting this restaurant (no unpleasant smells either). There were 4 of us & we're greeted with a warm welcome. Now to the main event. I had black pearl scallops as a starter & grilled chicken breast in a chasseur sauce for my main, really tasty & well presented. The rest of our group really enjoyed their food as well. It was our first visit & won't be out last. I can honestly say it's we'll worth a visit.”

“First time at this Nando’s location, I was greeted by Sharaya and her customer service is sensational. It felt like speaking with a friend rather than a server. Ended up leaving with a smile from thanks to the team at this restaurant!”

“Definitely the best dining experience in Nottingham, hands down. (I visited the Showcase cinema complex branch!) First class food, first class service. Great ambience and music. And out-of-the-world price! I didn’t even realise I came here on opening day, and it’s all decked out, the staff revved up and smiling. Thanks especially to Burak- excellent recommendation and such warm service. Great guy. And thanks to Sedaf too for her friendly service. If you haven’t visited this place, you must. Great tasting genuine Turkish food, good portions. Very clean place,, good vibe, warm service, and it does not tank your budget…. what’s not to love?!! I honestly expected the bill to be ridiculous for what I had, but was pleasantly surprised it was half that!”

“We were here for a wedding. The space was beautifully decorated. It looked gorgeous and rustic, perfect for photos. As vegans we felt pleasantly surprised by the amount of choices available to us. The starters and dessert in particular were nice. Service was great, everyone was attentive and helpful. The musician, Paul Tabor, that was playing was incredible. Overall we’d highly recommend it.”

“Nice cafe. Great food. Great value. Can get busy at peak times. The food served here is really good value, particularly the meatballs which are extremely tasty. They also sell them in the food shop. If you are an IKEA Family Member you can get free Tea or Coffee on weekdays. Lots of seating. Very light.”

“Lovely friendly staff. Ordered a Bailey's Latte, a Machiato and a slice of cake which we shared between the two of us. The cake was lovely, served on a slate board and it came with strawberries and squirty cream. Various choices of milkshakes and iced coffee. Thank you ladies.”

“Dropped in with my Dad on Sunday for a cuppa but ended up having a breakfast each as well. The food was excellent all made from local tasty ingredients. The service was lovely and super friendly. Could not fault it and will defiantly be returning. It was a pleasure to spend our time and money at this establishment. So if you’re in the area give it a try you will not be disappointed. 5 stars all round Guys… thankyou”

“Delicious home cooked food. Exceptional value for 3 course lunch, only £22.50. Service was so friendly and professional. Top marks”

“Spoiled for choice when I went in here for the first time. I ended up with a 'chicken tikka flat bread', recommended to me by a regular, and thank you to that gent for his suggestion. Everything in the wrap was delicious with the perfect amount of filling to bread ratio. Nice coffee too, all great value and friendly staff.”

“This hidden gem is a must if you're in Nottingham and like fine food. Fletcher's Dining is at Nottingham College, staffed by students. We were recommended we visit here by a local friend, and our first time certainly won't be our last. You book the date you want, but be warned, they book up fast, and choose the meat or vegetarian menu, and then sit back and relax! The team met us at the door and although they were clearly nervous, they were friendly throughout. We had five different courses of delicious food, and in no way would you say this food was from someone in training, it was amazing. From braised pigs cheeks, to polenta cake, it was a taste sensation. Highly recommended, but do book early!”
