Food lovers will be in for a treat after it was announced that one of Nottingham's top restaurants is expanding. It was August 2017 when fine dining restaurant Alchemilla opened its doors in Nottingham, going on to earn its first Michelin star two years later.
In that time chef patron Alex Bond has wowed diners with tasting menus. Meat and fish are served but it's the imaginative, plant-based, dishes that are in the spotlight under the vaulted arches of a Victorian carriage house in Derby Road, with a hidden roof garden for drinks.
Last week Alchemilla was named the 70th best in the UK in the National Restaurant Awards - one of the many accolades it has notched up for dishes such lobster with fermented turnip and duck, morels and peppercorn sauce.
