Description

Alchemilla occupies the red-brick vaulted arches of a Victorian carriage house, yet despite its rustic first impression, it’s a modern place. A living wall and roof garden set the scene for Head Chef Alex Bond's inspired, exciting cooking that utilises sustainably sourced ingredients. As well as injecting plenty of his own personality into the dishes, he has an innate skill for bringing together sweet, sour, salty and citrus elements in wonderful harmony; his aged hogget with roasted lemon, aubergine and black olive is a prime example. The esoteric wine list has a bias towards natural wines.

Review summary

Housed in a converted stable with brick arches and glass ceilings, Alchemilla offers a distinctive modern British dining experience in Nottingham. Service is consistently praised for being professional, warm, and attentive to dietary requirements. The menu centers on multi-course tasting options, featuring experimental techniques. While many reviewers highlight exceptional flavor and presentation, others criticize the food for prioritizing style over substance, noting issues with excessive saltiness or smoky flavors. Ambiance is dramatic yet intimate, particularly at the kitchen table. Reviews are polarized regarding value and taste consistency, making it a niche choice.
