The AA Rosette award scheme has been recognising culinary excellence across the UK since 1956 and is perhaps the second biggest honour a restaurant can receive, behind a Michelin star.
Restaurants can be awarded up to five Rosettes, though very few achieve that rating, reserved for establishments at the pinnacle of fine dining.
Below is the full list of restaurants in Nottinghamshire with AA Rosettes, serving up the very best cuisine.

Set across two levels, this buzzy restaurant and bar fuses pan-Asian cooking with international cuisine on the globe-trotting menu." Photo: Google
