French Living

French Living comprises a shop/café stocking groceries and provisions, where you can refuel with a cup of ‘grand crème’ coffee in between browsing the shelves. Below stairs is the bistro, a dyed-in-the-wool red-brick cellar done out in the style of a provincial family brasserie (complete with rustic furniture, gingham cloths and French songs playing on the radio). Menus change with the seasons and the aim is to serve ‘meals that make French people feel at home and British friends remember their holidays’.

A table at Restaurant Sat Bains may be the dream booking for any foodie visiting Notts (see below), but chef Alex Bond’s Alchemilla, opened last summer, is a similarly singular experience – and more affordable, too. Even the building is special. A 19th-century garage for horse-drawn carriages, all vaulted ceilings and exposed brick, it’s an unusual and chic cocoon, now augmented with living moss walls and a large open kitchen.
