mick2me 3,033 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Where are the best place to eat in Nottingham. Either Posh and Expensive or Good food at good prices? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Best value for money...IMHO. Chateau Berni Inn, Wilford Lane...haven't been in for years...must ring to book a table! Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'll start by offering Tom Browns Brasserie at Gunthorpe in the more expensive class. It used to be a lot less expensive to eat there when taking the 'Early Bird' deals (some of which were available all night). I have to say I've visited there a lot less since they started charging extra for vegetables which is a con in my book. Still a nice place to visit though.

Bip 88 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 There's a nice little greasy spoon just off J24 M1 as one makes ones way to East Midlands airport, can be very busy in the week but at weekends not so. Would recommend the all day breakfast for £2.99p and all the tea and coffee one can drink...... Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.... 23 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 On George Street in the city. The Tarn Thai restaurant. A restaurant that is not cheap but represents value for money and a fair price for the type of food, environment and service on offer. It was opened in around 2006 and has a very attractive look to it, including water features etc. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and courteous and most important of all the food is sublime. A lovely night out. Tarn Thai Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 That's all well and good but one can't eat the decor.................... when I was in Thailand some years ago one could eat like a lord from the street vendors and still have change from ten baht....enough to buy a bunch of bananas for a passing elephant.

.... 23 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Quite like Pizzeria Savai by the London Road roundabout for an Italian. I don't think that Nottingham is particularly well-blessed for really good Italian restaurants but this place is a lively room with decent food and an enjoyable night. There's an upstairs too which tends to be a bit quieter. http://www.pizzeriasavai.co.uk/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One is getting the impression one is going through the good food guide for Nottingham. Bip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 I doubt that 'The Wok ' would be an Indian restaurant Den Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IMO the best Italian closed some years ago -Valentino's on Alfreton Road. Franco the chef is now working in Derby, and Salvatori is working in Chilwell. A great team sadly missed.

radfordred 6,284 Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Whats up with the Balti house Mick ? Now it's gone all posh . Italian its got to be Piccolino for me on weekday cross , i have a slaver while typing this . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 The Balti went down for a while, with much smaller portions. We went a couple of weeks ago and the starters and portion size was OK. But the Balti tasted different, Not a patch on before? Perhaps they have changed the chef?

Paulus 541 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 El Greco's top of Alfreton Road was great!! long gone..................... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I dont like Pasta, but anything else Italian is very tasty. I'll have chips with mine thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 El Greco's was a favourite of mine in the 70s. Another favourite, this time the 60s, was the Empire Café on Foreman St. Blockbuster cake slice and cup of tea - a tanner the lot! Another 60s memory is Hatter's chip shop (Later the Mermaid) on Front Street Arnold. Great little sit-in upstairs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,874 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I remember the Mermaid chippy. I was fascinated with the pulley system that delivered the meals from the shop downstairs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Joe Lyons was a decent cafe, Empire cafe had good grub,meat pie,chips and a cuppa',1/9d, for dinner. Elbow cafe for breakfast,the 'works' for 2/-.and if you had any money left, late night fish and chips,at your local 'chippy'. Wonder what the comparison would be in prices today!!!

Compo 10,328 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I had forgotten about the Elbow Café. 24hrs at on time I believe. Great Café, good grub at good prices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
