No12 Houndsgate - Nottingham

What a delightful friendly restaurant! Service was excellent. Food was absolutely stunning. Will rave about this place for months to come. You don't have to be vegan or plant based to simply enjoy the excellent food. Will be definitely returning

I probably should start with saying I am not vegan, however, we have seen the great reviews for no 12 and were really interested to try a plant based tasting menu. We do like to eat out at Michelin star restaurants so understand balance of flavours and are very open to trying new things. I am sad to say that unfortunately we did not enjoy no 12, we didn’t feel the flavours were balanced and sadly the dishes were quite bland. Some of the courses we didn’t eat much of which has never happened before at a tasting menu. The restaurant is lovely, small and intimate and the staff were very friendly, however, the food was very disappointing. We actually asked for the bill before the final course. If you are vegan you may have a different take, but if you are not, with regret, I would have to say there are so many better places to go for the price £130 for 2 people for tasting menu).

We went for an early pre-concert meal at No: 12. The meal was fantastic and beautifully presented. Every dish had such complex flavours and tasted so fresh. We now always go to vegan restaurants whenever we eat out and this is one of the best. Very good value and lovely staff! Well done.

No. Twelve is probably the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in Nottingham. I’m vegetarian, and often I find vegetarian food quite weird and not like the delicious, filling meals I grew up with. It was nice to visit a restaurant with a ‘proper’ plant-based menu, as it were. I ordered 3 dishes and all were stunning. I liked the coffee and the tapas experience was excellent. However, the toilets were slightly uncomfortable, being underground by about 3 stories, but that wasn’t a problem at all with the food being so nice.

First visit to this delightful vegan restaurant. We came as a group of 12 for a work lunch. All of us meat eaters. I have to say we were all more than pleasantly surprised. Each dish packed with flavour good portion size, desserts were a hit. Friendly service in a quaint building. Timings were good nicely spaced out and attentive to our needs. A must for all not just for vegans. My only suggestion warm bread would be a nicer touch.
