I don’t really want to review this place because I want to keep it a secret so I can get a table easily every time, but that would be selfish, especially to my fellow gluten free eaters. Busy for a Tuesday night (always a good sign), nice atmosphere and authentic, tasty tapas served by knowledgeable staff who knew their menu (including drinks menu) inside out. Particularly handy when trying to negotiate a gluten free diet. Great WiFi too �
Well what can you about this place? My wife & I went for a meal here on Friday night July 13th for the 1st time it wasn't an unlucky Friday because we found a Gem of a Restaurant to eat at , The food was gorgeous, The service & staff were fantastic the atmosphere is brilliant
We had a lovely night thank you for making my birthday day meal special will definitely be visiting again keep up the good work all the best
fantastic service and we felt very welcome upon arrival. very good menu and the food was spot on without fail. the wine was perfect with the food. we also had a talk with the waiters and this was especially nice as they knew a lot about the wine and the food and gave us advice on what works with what.
tried grilled octopus for the first time and it did not disappoint. very happy and a very good price too
What a fantastic meal we had at Lorentes last night. Every dish was delicious and the beautiful wine and top notch service made for a great night. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!!!
Have been to Lorentes several times, the food and service are always wonderful, always made welcome, just love this place, would certainly recommend it. It may be a small place, but it certainly has a big heart � Feliz navidad everyone ��
I first tried lorentas when it was part of the post house and loved the food from the beginning, was very disappointed when it moved out but was highly delighted when I found their main shop on friar gate , I’ve now been a couple of times and the service has been amazing both times and the staff are really welcoming and friendly . The food is lovely and fresh cooked to order amazing quality and would highly recommend the lorentas cocktail but be warned it is highly addictive � .
Just in Derby for the evening and we booked a table here. What a treat it was, the food was amazing, as was the wine. There was a wonderful vibrant atmosphere just like being on holiday. Great service too. Would definitely recommend Lorentes and next time I make the trip to Derby I will be sure to visit again.
Absolutely stunning food! The seafood paella is a must!! Washed down with a jug of sangria.... a little bit of heaven
best tapas in town ,small .place but everything is cooked freshly and arrives a few dishes at a time so nothing gets cold ,cannot praise this place enough
A little plate of Spain on our doorstep. Wonderful atmosphere, lovely staff, tasty food and a great bottle of red.
On a balmy summer night, sitting at the counter of this buzzing tapas bar, in true Spanish style, you could easily be in Valencia, Barcelona or Madrid, rather than Derby. Muchas gracias Lorentes, tuvimos un gran tiempo.
Fantastic place, fried tapas beautifully melt in the mouth delicate...staff knowledgable, friendly and efficient, highly recommended :)
The food and drink here is unbeatable. It’s small with a lovely atmosphere. Lorentes cocktail, the sherry, and the pork tenderloin are amazing. Lovely.
Fantastic little restaurant friendly staff and wonderful food! If you are going as a couple they have three deserts on the menu, buy all three and share!
Excellent mothers day meal from my daughter zoe. highly recommend. food is fresh cooked to order, very tasty and good portions. Fab staff too
We had a lovely dinner here. Friendly staff, delicious food and reasonably priced. The only negative was portions were slightly smaller than usual. But we will definitely be coming back if we are in Derby again.
This area is truly stunning!! The employees were extremely accommodating and recommended the most popular dishes and dishes with the proper size for our party. Every single item we ordered was exceptionally flavorful, and arrived fast and hot from the kitchen. I'm sure I'll return!!!
This place is honestly so lovely!! The staff were so friendly and recommended the best dishes and portion sized for our group. Every single item we ordered was so tasty, and arrived quickly and fresh and hot from the kitchen. Definitely will be back!!!
Great!
Never had tapas before so it was really nice to try all the different dishes and get a better understanding of the cuisine.
Heartily recommend (not cheap though, if you’re ordering multiple plates, be careful not to overspend, the set plates were good value however).
Went today for the first time, never knew this beautiful little restaurant was here. The food was delicious,the waiting staff were pleasant and attentive. A piece of Spain in Derby will definitely return.
Simply outstanding. Amazing tapas, lovely staff and great service. Enjoyed so many different dishes, all delicious, with a decent bottle of red wine. Relaxed and superlative dining.
Honestly, can't recommend Lorentes enough! The food has been incredible every time, service has always been friendly and fast. Depending on what time you go it can either be nice and quiet or have a buzzing atmosphere in the restaurant.
If you've got 4 people, try the tasting menu!
Food was excellent and very reasonable priced
Enjoyed our tapas night earlier at Lorentes. Portions are generous so pick your favourite dishes and don’t over order. Had the half portion of jamon iberico (complimentary pieces of cheese) which were delicious. Jamon kind of melted your month. Chorizo in honey, potato bravas and padron peppers were decent. Not a massive fan of the croquetas as the fillings are too mushy for my person taste. Pork cheek was strongly recommended.
Service was good and attentive.
It was awesome. Nice and friendly staff, proper Spanish food, great beer and wine. There's just nothing I could be unhappy about. Will come back for sure.
Please remember to book a table before you come as they are quite small and run out of room quite quickly.
Delicious food and so helpful. I have some dietary restrictions at the moment and our server and the kitchen were so helpful and accommodating, they worked really hard to help me eat something delicious
A really great restaurant. I have been several times, and each time the food is delicious, the service is fantastic, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. I highly recommend.
Lovely experience, came in for a friend's leaving do. Wonderful customer service from Dan, food check backs from the lovely lady working as well. Food was absolutely delicious and came out at a steady pace, definitely would visit again!
Every single time I've come to this restaurant the food has been exceptional with service that is second to none. A true gem in the jungle of closed units and failed business ventures of Derby.
Also for anyone that has struggled to book in the past, there is now a back room with even more seating ..so it should be all that easier!
Absolutely brilliant authentic Spanish tapas at this intimate restaurant in the traditional heart of Derby. Loved every moment and made us yearn for more wonderful Spanish food experiences. Great wine, cheese and service too.

Me and my wife went there for the first time on Sunday and despite not having a booking, we were sited at the table at the back. We went for starters and mains which were delicious, so we will definitely return for more great food!
