The Michelin Guide says: "Being hidden down an alleyway and up some stairs in the centre of Nottingham, you’ll need to follow your map closely to find this rustic restaurant in a lovely period building – think exposed brickwork, timbers and dried flowers hanging on the wall. Cooking-wise it’s all about small plates, with three to four per person about right; these dishes show off recognisable flavour combinations executed with aplomb, like ham fritters with the eponymous piccalilli. The wine list is concise but carefully curated, with quality choices at a fair price."placeholder image

Here are the Nottingham restaurants that have been included in the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide

Here in Nottingham we’re very proud of our thriving food and drink scene.

From the trendy bars and restaurants of Hockley to the traditional greasy spoons found in the city’s industrial estates, Nottingham really does cater for every taste.

Choosing where to eat obviously depends on your budget and the occasion, but sometimes we all have to treat ourselves to something a bit more upmarket.

The Michelin Guide is a great starting point if you’re looking to try one of the city’s top-rated restaurants, with the 2025 edition now published.

These are the 10 Nottingham restaurants that have been recognised by the world-renowned guide for 2025:

The Michelin Guide says: "Alchemilla occupies the red-brick vaulted arches of a Victorian carriage house, yet despite its rustic first impression, it’s a modern place. A living wall and roof garden set the scene for Head Chef Alex Bond's inspired, exciting cooking that utilises sustainably sourced ingredients."

The Michelin Guide says: "You’ll find this friendly village pub with a bright, modern feel tucked away down a narrow country lane. When it comes to the cooking, things are hearteningly traditional, with eternal favourites like bangers and mash – along with daily specials – cooked with great care and using quality ingredients, resulting in straightforward, flavour-packed food."

The Michelin Guide says: "The old water pump out the back hints at its days as the village forge but this is now a brightly decorated, intimate restaurant run with natural warmth by its experienced owners."
