    Alley Cafe

    Tucked away down a hidden alleyway, this place sets out to prove that vegetarian food can be cool. The globe-trotting menu ranges from tofu and tempeh to hemp-seed burgers, which you can munch to a DJ soundtrack.

    Punchinello

    Low-slung beamed ceilings distinguish this established central restaurant, the oldest in town, but it has moved with the times with a hint of the Mediterranean infusing most of its dishes.

    Frills are sparse, but taste is plenty in this basic, highly regarded white-tiled Japanese café-restaurant with a sushi-bar conveyor belt.

    World Service Restaurant

    Set in the courtyard of a 17th-century mansion and decked out with a eclectic selection of Asian ornaments, World Service feels rather colonial, but the tantalising food is firmly modern British with plenty of local produce – come at lunchtime for cheaper set menus. Bookings recommended.

  6. Restaurant Sat Bains

    Tucked away on the outskirts, two miles southwest of the centre, Nottingham's only Michelin-starred restaurant delivers outstanding, inventive modern European cooking. Like the outfits worn by the clientele, the food and surroundings are exquisite, but book well in advance. To get here, follow the A52 to Wilford and turn-off near the Nottingham Trent University campus.

    Kayal

    The Nottingham branch of this small Midlands chain trades the chicken tikka masala clichés for the spicy flavours of Kerala. Highlights of the menu include delicious dosas (lentil-flour pancakes) and zingy crab and kingfish curries.

    Brown Betty's

    Close to the castle, this is a good choice for cheap cheerful sandwiches, bagels and ciabatta, light pasta and salads and artery-challenging fry-ups.
