Lunch dining in Nottingham

“Ordered from the brunch menu. Cumberland sausage cob, and halloumi and roast pepper toasted sandwich. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Good service and pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely go back.”

“I often go to either the Sherwood or Trinity Square branch and I am never disappointed, all the way from the excellent service down to the outstanding food, both the variety and flavour are on point, today I had my first take out breakfast due to working from home, and I am even more impressed by the clean and tidy packaging and consistency in terms of quality when taking it home! The lady who completed my order was so kind! Thank you so much, you are all amazing !”

“This café was a delightful find! I stopped in to get some work done and was pleasantly surprised by how reliable and fast the WiFi was – perfect for a productive few hours. The food was absolutely delicious – it had that comforting, home-cooked feel that’s hard to come by in most cafés. Their cappuccino deserves a special mention – rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The ambience is warm and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to linger. Though the staff were clearly busy, they were still attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The only downside was the strong food smell inside, likely because the kitchen is open to the seating area. There is outdoor seating, which would’ve been a great alternative, but unfortunately it was too cold and windy on the day I visited. Overall, despite that small drawback, I’d highly recommend this place – whether you're looking to relax, catch up on work, or just enjoy a fantastic meal and coffee.”

“Really authentic food and great to try something new. Our waitress Devika was very knowledgeable and recommended lots of dishes to us!”

“Had a lovely meal here, good vegan options as well as meat/fish. We loved the mocktails menu as they were very tasty. The food and service were 5 star, especially our waiter Elliot who made us feel at home.”

“A wonderful meal for two with the best haddock I have tasted in a long time. The salmon was beautifully baked and my partner enjoyed it immensely. Excellent customer service and Ruby, Hannah and Summer deserve special praise for their friendly and professional service.”

“We visited late on Sunday evening as we travelled to Nottingham to visit the Clifford spa. The food was lovely, staff were welcoming, attentive & friendly. They had a variety of vegetarian meals and their aubergine dish was delicious as were the rest. I'd definitely recoend visiting here. Thank you for the lovely food.”

“Always an amazing meal, tasty and well cooked, served piping hot. The service is friendly and efficient Such a lovely atmosphere too, all perfect”

“I toke my family to Chaksa , very good food and amazing service. Highly recommend. Loads of parking and good ambience/ atmosphere.”

“I came to this place with my friend on Wednesday as she has been there before and she said it was really good. So we went there and to be honest I didn’t think it was going to be that good l. However I was completely shocked how good the food was in fact I was i element eating the food. The starter nachos was amazing the nachos was proper nachos they put the right amount of cheese and sauce on. The calzone was absolutely amazing. The portion size are big portions. The staff were lovely. The owners are lovely. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone.”

“Popped in on a Tues at 2.30pm. Luckily they serve food whilst loads of other food places in Nottingham were closed. Ordered lamb kofte and burger and chips. Food was served quickly and was delicious. Decor and atmosphere upstairs is very well decorated with posters, large screen tv and plants. I would recommend popping in.”

“Absolute gem Lovely lunchtime meal with friends. Excellent choice of food and drinks. Staff were wonderful so caring and attentive. Definitely return soon Xmas menu very tempting.”

“The food was amazing. We had a chicken and lamb Sunday lunch. A good sized portion and very reasonably priced. We had GF Chocolate Fuche cake with custard and sticky toffee pudding with custard. Both were delicious! I would highly recommend a visit! We had booked an outside table and were running late. We called to let them know and they were very understanding. Service was excellent. Thank you”

“I haven't had food here, just drinks, so I am unable to rate that yet. I cannot fault the staff and their politeness. I love coming here for a drink or two. It's always one of my go places for a night out. Love the people and live the vibe. It's ever so friendly and the doormen too.”

“Been here a few times now and always have exceptional food and service and last night was no exception! We love the special Tuesday's as its great value for money. Staff very attentive and welcoming and we even got a free baby guinness before we left! Highly recommended and will definitely see you again soon!”

“Great place for breakfast or lunch, amazing cakes and good prices. You get to see lots of planes taking off on a Saturday, so fun!”

“Lovely tea room/cafe next to the canal at Trent Lock. Good range of food and drink and a lovely walking destination.”

“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!”

“We ordered a take away of sweet and sour chicken, curry chicken, and spring rolls. The food was an amazing, the portions were particularly good we shared the meal between 2 people and have leftovers :) The people was very nice and the service was very fast. I would definitely go back and make it one of my go to places”

“Great staff. That offered free soup witch was good, kebabs where astonishing. With tea I highly recommend you to come here if you wan t quality food or a taste of the middle east.”

“A reguler customer, great food. Amazing service. Staff are very polite. Would highly recommend. Easily the best in Long Eaton”

“Excellent food at a very reasonable price. Adam the new landlord was very welcoming. The pub has also had a very tasteful makeover since coming under new management to bring it's decor up to date which has enhanced the atmosphere too. All in all the perfect, family friendly country pub.”

“Food is really tasty, the staff are really nice, great for a morning cob or baguette.”

“This was my second visit to Bronte & Co and I’m already looking forward to the next! The venue is beautiful and has such a warm, inviting atmosphere. I had the shakshuka today and it was absolutely delicious – full of flavour. I finished with the baklava, which was a little sweet for my taste but still really tasty. The staff are always so friendly and make you feel genuinely valued. A lovely experience all round!”

“We had a very good time here, the smoked haddock chowder was lovely and the prawn spring rolls were delicious. We also had as a main course the crispy pork with red sauce with jasmine rice and the Tai style Roast duck with egg fried rice were also good and decent portions for us. The only downside was that the above and a bottle of wine cost a total of £80.00 which I find is more of a special occasion restaurant rather than a monthly treat. Although this was a very nice meal.”

“Under new management the meal was so much better than previously. The Tavern was busier than usual and therefore had a really nice atmosphere. We will be returning on a regular basis. Now that it’s getting busier I would recommend booking in advance.”

“I went in for a small breakfast this morning Great atmosphere lovely staff Food was delicious & hot greatly priced too”

“Ordered one of their Breakfast Boxes and it was very filling and good value. Didn't look amazing in the box but once plated up looked jolly decent. For the price it was good value”

“Really lovely place. Best described as Italian style tapas, with medium sized dishes perfect for sharing. They change the menu ever day apparently. Highly recommended.”

“My favourite restaurant in Nottinghamshire. The food is sublime and well priced. Delicious every time. Confit Duck, Beef bourguignon are my go to dishes, oh and the soup is great too.”
