REVEALED: The best restaurants in Nottinghamshire according to the Good Food Guide

Judges named Sat Bains as the best in the region and third best in the whole of the UK.

The Good Food Guide’s annual Top 50 restaurant ranking is highly regarded by chefs and restaurant-goers alike.

There are seven restaurants from Nottinghamshire in this year’s Good Food Guide.

Owned by Waitrose, it is a guide to the very best restaurants and eateries across Britain. Here are the guide’s top picks locally...

Restaurant Saint Bains

The restaurant is noted in the guide as being: “found on the city’s edge is an unassuming set of buildings that resemble a French auberge, where wellspaced, cloth-covered tables and a soothing, tranquil settingmight lull some customers into thinking that this is an ordinary restaurant. But Restaurant Sat Bains is a one off; Sat Bains himself, without doubt, one of the country’s foremost chefs. He is also one of the best to work the taste spectrum - dishes on his seven- or ten-course tasting menus are colour-coded to highlight the dominant tastes. Singling out winning dishes is difficult.”

Speaking about Restaurant Sat Bains, Elizabeth Carter, Waitrose Good Food Guide editor, said: “Sat Bains’ cooking is astonishing. I love his ideas, his sheer imagination and I’ve always been struck by the delicacy and balance of Sat’s dishes, and by the way he works the taste spectrum - the play between sweet and savoury, the use of texture (creamy, crispy, frozen, jelly). The chef fully deserves to be recognised as The Good Food Guide’s top scoring 9, it’s a brilliant achievement, and as far as I am concerned, Restaurant Sat Bains is quite simply one of the most alluring and impressive restaurants in the UK.”
