The food was very original and absolutely delicious (especially scallop). The service at his highest level. You will be served, I think, by 6-8 different members of the team that will explain you the course through smallest particularities.
Definitely would recommend to all food enthusiasts.

My first impression of Alchemilla was astonishing. I didn't expect the brick walls and atmosphere, it feels like a historic place, very green and private. The fine dining was as expected, great quality food and a great service. What really made this place unique was the artistic and culinary touch on every dish. I could feel the passion for smoke, fire and Japanese ingredients on each of the dishes. Elevating all the ingredients, for example a dish was made out of only mushrooms, and it was stunning! We had the pescatarian menu, and I ordered the optional Chawanmushi, and for me you can't miss out on the main dinner with Turbot, the Chawanmushi, the Mushroom dish and the Koji ice cream. Parking could be difficult, and I would suggest to park on NG7 3GD
There are only a few places in my life that has completely taken me by surprise, and Alchemilla is one of the them. From the warm and welcoming staff, the amazing menu, to the wines, I can't thank them enough for putting together a memory that my husband and I will have for years. If you can afford it, do it. The restaurant is clean and the service is above and beyond, each willing to tell history and stories. Even asked the staff to sign my copy of the menu. Absolutely an amazing experience. Hopefully one day we can return!

Third time here and it is easily one of the best restaurants in the whole midlands. Alex is a genius in the kitchen, with inspiration from Japanese flavours and Uber modern cooking techniques and beautiful plates, the whole experience is worthy of the star, but beyond that, it’s a food experience that if it was in London, it would be easily £250 per head. So at £90 for 5 courses (which is easily 11-12 servings) I actually think it’s also fantastic value for some of the best food in the country.

Amazing food. Great service. Had the 7 course tasting menu, with lots of extras, was eating for about 3.5 hrs, and it was all delicious.
I had the standard menu and my dining partner had the vegan, which was jus as impressive, no vegan after-thought menu, a proper, delicious selection of food that stands up alongside the standard menu.
Canapés:
Chalk stream trout was delicate, light and delicious.
The pickled celeriac was a surprise, a good one!
The hash brown was fantastic.
Smoked scallop soup was incredible, I'd happily have a whole bowl full of it!
The bread was really good with the cultured butters...
And then came the actual menu...
The squash course was excellent.
Then came a delicious scallop, they know how to cook scallops here!
The mushroom/liver dish was amazing, so much umami.
The bream was also delicious, although both my partner and I felt that this course should have come before the mushroom course.
I didn't have the optional beef course...
The 'main course' of venison was incredible, beautifully cooked.
The optional cheese selection looked good, I saw other diners enjoying them but didn't partake myself...
The dessert courses were a bit odd for me... My dining partner loved them though...
The Koji sake Lees was nice, I found the sauce a bit overwhelming at first, the caramelised corn was amazing.
The chocolate dessert was a bit 'mushroomy' to begin with, but grew on me by the last mouthful.
We didn't take the wine pairings, had a bottle of malbec instead.
A great experience, if you can afford a visit, I would recommend!
We enjoyed a 7 course taster menu with wine pairings. One word would be spectacular. An intimate environment, attentive service and the food was interesting and perfectly executed. It challenges your pallet in a positive way.
As said earlier, spectacular.
It was a fantastic meal in wonderful surroundings. Each of the 10 courses of the taster menu came with a different and unique flavour with its own focus on what the star of that dish was. The service was great, striking the balance perfectly between professionalism and warmth whilst still not being afraid to give a little of their own personalities. Our visit was all that we hoped it would be. We had a fantastic few hours here and couldn't recommend Alchemilla enough.
Thank you to all who made our night one to remember.
Started very strong. Incredible food. But then slowly the items became less punchy. Tried too hard and lacked what the formers held. But the first few dishes, including the venison were phenomenal. Didn’t like the seaweed dishes overly. The lobster was incredible. Will edit this review shortly.
Amazing setting. Great staff. Amazing host.
Waiting was ever slightly slow.
Great alcohol menu.
Ten course is a must. I would recommend wine pairing but would probably be too much for ten courses.
Overall very expensive for a one star. Almost the same price as a london 2 or 3. Wouldn’t compare exactly to a one star further north.
A magical journey with food.
Take you to many places in few hours
Surprised by the talented chefs.
Respect to the expertise of our story telling service from Thomas
We celebrated our 2nd work anniversary
Walking in this beautiful place second time

One of Nottingham's finest restaurants.
There's a reason why this restaurant has a Michelin star.
They have a seasonal changing menu.
All served in a beautiful Victorian carriage house with red brick vaulted arches.
We had their 5 course menu £95.
Now, available every service.
Some restaurants would class it as 11 courses with all the snacks and bread.
We're not going to list what we had.
Just let the pics do the talking.
We love Alex Bond, and his team are amazing.
The food and service were spot on as usual.
