Nottinghamshire is packed with top-rated restaurants serving a wide variety of cuisines, so it’s understandable why foodies are so keen to spend time in the county.
But if you’re someone who doesn’t eat out at restaurants all that often, finding somewhere suitable can be a challenge.
You can easily spend hours trawling through online reviews ahead of visiting a restaurant, but this often results in going round in circles.
It’s fair to say that if lots of people are visiting a particular restaurant, there’s usually a reason behind it.
For this reason, OpenTable’s monthly ‘most booked restaurants’ tool is a godsend.
Each month, OpenTable analyses nearly 500,000 new global diner reviews from the past month to find out the most popular restaurants in a particular area.
We’ve taken a look at the hottest restaurants in Nottinghamshire during February 2026:
