Just when you feel like burger joints and fried chicken outlets are taking over Nottingham city centre, along comes a gem of a restaurant that stands out head and shoulders above the rest. Amazing, exceptional, wonderful, a must, stunning - these are some of the rave reviews Bar Gigi has attracted.
We've eaten there before but one of the joys of the Italian restaurant is that the menu regularly changes so there are always new dishes to try, alongside the favourites that woe betide them being removed. Yes you, fillet steak and parmesan pillows.
When looking for somewhere special to celebrate our daughter's Master's graduation this was the unanimous winner after musing over all our best-loved spots to eat. Despite being slap bang in the city centre - overlooking Old Market Square - Bar Gigi is hidden and would be easily bypassed without a second glance if it wasn't for the tables and chairs outside.
