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:

11. John's House, Mountsorrel
The Michelin Guide says: "The eponymous John was raised right here on the family farm and now provides excellent field-to-fork dining inside its 16th-century farmhouse. His brother Tom looks after the 400-acre estate, which provides herbs, vegetables, fruits and multiple meats that inform and inspire the tasting menus." | Kev Lloyd Photo: Kev Lloyd
