Best Historic Restaurants in Matlock Bath

Booked for festive lunch. Had 2 course, main and dessert. Lovely tasty food, beautifully cooked, generous servings. Thoroughly enjoyed. Waitresses were friendly and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed Only one thing we would suggest is that there is an option to request a smaller serving due to not everyone being able to eat a normal sized portion. My friend always feels embarrassed when she leaves at least 2\3rds of main course simply due to portion size.

Fabulous food in a splendid setting. From the moment you enter you know you're in the right place for a great experience. The staff were friendly and just attentive enough, not too much, just right! . We had the taster meal and started with canapes in the open fire warmed bar. Every dish was a delight. Highlights for us were the scallop and mackerel tartare and the red mullet but everything was superb. great combinations of tastes without being fussy or complex for the sake of it. The wine flight took us out of comfort zone of big Spanish and Italian reds or bone dry Italian whites. A smokey oak aged Californian pinot noir and a dense Saperavi stood out; all the choices complemented its dish perfectly.

I was dining on my own at a strange time but was made to feel very welcome and given a nice table by the window. I was very well looked after by efficient and friendly staff and the food was delicious and came very quickly.
