Alchemilla

We were here to celebrate a birthday and our anniversary. The 7 courses are really nice. All courses came in very rich flavour, which I could imagine not always the preference for everyone. But we really enjoyed. The only suggestion to the dishes is on the last course of truffle tart - the tart base was too far to be cut but knife or fork. It would be easier to handle if it goes a bit softer.

We had the 7 course tasting menu, after my friend got us gift certificates for it for Xmas. I'm so glad she did. I had checked out the menu online before, but didn't really think it was my kind of food. So far this is the best meal I've ever had. Each dish was so full of depth and flavour, and perfectly balanced. The service was great too

Well worth the money for this fine dining experience!Dishes show such skill and alchemy by the chefs.The service is very good and all the staff know about the detailed dishes.The wine pairings are a must to appreciate the full complexity of the flavours of all the dishes👌

Overly salted, overly beige, overly mushy: a peculiar and unsatisfying experience. On entering Alchemilla you will immediately be assailed by the sound. Vaulted brickwork, polished concrete floors, and no soft furnishings whatsoever creates an aggressively brash, clattering environment which reminds more of a school canteen than a sophisticated setting for a tasting menu. The meal itself was unfortunately largely forgettable: a parade of soggy mush in various shades of brown and beige, each saltier than the last. The plating seemed contrived rather than inventive, with the added swirls and dollops of sauce (all brown, naturally) adding visual clutter instead of flair. The flavours were happily quite interesting and varied, but too often drowned out by a frankly baffling amount of salt. The service was attentive if slightly impersonal. An interesting choice to call every small plate a snack (instead of amuse-bouche, hors d'œuvre, palate cleansers, petits fours, etc.) which elicited a few chuckles from nearby tables. Overall one of the more disappointing tasting menus and dining experiences I've had.

The restaurant is set in a gorgeous old coach house and has a lovely picturesque roof top garden that makes you feel like you’re in the Mediterranean! We had the 7 course tasting menu and the food was deeeeelicious, the snacks were out of this world and the staff were incredibly warm and knowledgeable. Definitely get the wine pairing if you can as there were some real gems in there too! Can’t wait to go back! 😌

We did the Christmas Dinner box for the second year running and absolutely loved it, again. The food was delicious and so easy to put together, it made my Christmas stress-free.

Absolutely delicious - innovative and thoughtful - excellent wine pairing - accommodating and friendly service. The beef tartare starter snack was so good and the three different mushrooms were wonderful.

On Derby Rd, you might miss it as there is little indication of Alchemilla. Step through the door and you are in a brickwork ex-carriage store with arched ceilings and natural light, and you see straight into the kitchen. First impressions count and the count is high. We had the 3 course menu, supplemented with some extras and the food was supreme, the wine pairings perfect and the staff brilliant. I'd love to name-check them but there were a fair few who looked after us. Easily on par with my other, limited, high-end dining experiences. Well worth a visit.
