Warmer days and brighter evenings mean venturing out a little bit more. One of our top activities is dining out.
You may love your local restaurant, however you may be in the mood to switch it up and try something new.
It can often be difficult choosing where to go, so we have taken a look at Tripadvisor ratings and compiled a list.
Tripadvisor rankings aren’t based on star ratings alone, which is why a pub with 4.5 can sit above one with 5.0. TripAdvisor uses a “Popularity Ranking” algorithm, which considers multiple factors including consistency, number of reviews and how recent the reviews are.
Here are the top 7 restaurants that diners are rating right now in and near Derby.

4.7 / 5 stars from 340 reviews | A recent diner said: “The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is always delicious with good size portions at a reasonable cost. I feel some of the tables are a little close together. You need to be slim to squeeze past other diners to get to your seat. That said great little spot and I would definitely recommend.” | Google
