Arthur's

A fantastic experience that's a bit different. The carefully selected menu options are not what I'd normally choose, but was very happy to be adventurous and pleased with the quality. Both staff were keen to explain each dish and were clearly passionate about the quality of their food. A lot of attention to detail went into each dish. We left very happy and full!

Second visit. Table for four last night. All dishes were tasty and interesting. Taxi driver said she'd never picked anyone up from here that wasn't saying how great it was. Highly recommended.

Went for the 10 course tasting menu tonight. Unreal food, SO delicious. Relaxed vibes. Excellent service. Couldn't recommend it more. £65 per person is an absolute bargain for what you get here. Book ya table now!!

I hate giving negative reviews but I was disappointed in the 10 course taster, I felt that it wasn't anything special at all. The service was very very slow, 3 people and over 3 hours later we was still there. We had to wait an unbelievably long time in-between each course and we were the only people there for at least 1.5 hours. Then it was only 2 people who came in.
The chef & lady waitress were both friendly but I'm afraid I didn't think it was worth the price at all. Very disappointed

Delicious, well cooked and innovative food. Staff attentive and polite, great ambience and a warm welcome from a young and dedicated team.

Dinner Arthurs Belper
10 course tasting menu £65

Last minute booking at the best restaurant in Belper.
This wasn't planned but saw they had a no show so we just rang up to grab the table. As they are normally fully booked when we have wanted to go.

They do a 5 course £38
or 10 course £65.
We chose the 10 obviously.
Using the best locally sourced ingredients.

To start is a lovely little snack described as Ham,egg & chip,which we could of eaten a whole bowl full.
Next was the freshest Crich sourdough served with the roast tomato bisque.

Cullen skink tart with an oozing egg in the middle as you cut through it.

Next was the star of the show for us.
Monkfish tail roast on the bone,
Hot honey buffalo cheek, celery and apple salad,tartare sauce.

The duck dish was also a wow.
Accompliments were so tasty.
Caramelised pumpkin fondant,
Confit leg stuffed shallot topped with duck dripping crumble,
Bacon braised brassica,Black Garlic jam,
Juniper spiked sauce bordelaise.
These raised the dish to levels we have never had before.

Chef patron Leo has truly upped his game since our last visit.
Recently just won Most innovative restaurant at the marketingderby food and drinks awards.
Also Best restaurant runners up obsfood monthly awards.

This is unusually a BYOB restaurant.
So if you like a drink with your meal don't forget to bring it.

The staff are lovely and friendly, we were served by Grace and James.
Our advice is to get yourself booked in to this rising star before jayrayner and michelinguide cotton on to it.

Can't wait to return!

I like the concept of this restaurant, and the food is generally very nice. I did think the dishes needed more fresh salad/vegetables. The sour dough bread was too hard though, and shouldn't really be classed as one course, as it came with a very nice soup. My monk fish dish was over salted sadly, which spoilt it, and the curry sauce & small hard nan bread combo on the same plate didn't work for me. I ate everything however, and I hope this restaurant does well and offers more for fish & vegetarian diets in the future.
