Two Michelin-starred Restaurant Sat Bains has slipped out of the the Top 100 of an elite UK restaurant guide based on the views of diners. It comes just a year after Nottingham's top restaurant ranked at number one and hailed "outstanding in every way."
The Top 100 in the 2023 edition of Harden's has been announced today (January 12). Alex Bond's one-star Alchemilla, in Derby Road, Nottingham, stands in 42nd place - down from 14th position in 2022. The restaurant received praise for its “mind-blowing experimental food and interesting wine pairings” and “very friendly staff, who are very knowledgeable about the offering.”
The only other East Midlands restaurant to feature in the Top 100 is Hambleton Hall, in Rutland. A total of 2,800 restaurants across the country are listed, based on 30,000 reports submitted from a survey of 3,000 ordinary diners rather than professional inspectors.
