Beautiful little spot with a great selection of delicious food! The honey chorizo especially was reordered for our table multiple times!The staff were also friendly and attentive even with the place mostly full.

I took my mother out this Saturday evening as a late mother’s day meal , we had been to Lorentes before up in Darley Abbey and we loved it so we gave the City centre restaurant a try too . We absolutely enjoyed everything about our evening. The male waiter (unsure of his name) was amazing and conversed with me in Spanish. Really nice guy and lovely waitress Phoebe too :) Would definitely visit again.

Had some great food here today with some old work mates. Had the set Spanish menu which included paella and tapas starters, really top quality. Sangria by the jug was good too. Staff lovely well

We've been twice to eat and sat at the bar both times. I really enjoy sitting there. There is only space for one couple to eat.Staff are very friendly and helpful with the wine and food menu.All the dishes we've had are tasty.The blue cheese croquetas are lovely, and the cheesecake is the best I've had.We are definitely going to be frequenting this place.Vegetarian options: They're is plenty of veggie options to choose from. We've been twice, and there are still dishes I've not tried.

The food is very good, the space is welcoming and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Without a doubt one of the best places to eat in Derby.

We were gathered to say goodbye to some family members, we were all super satisfied with the excellent Spanish food. The house bread is 10, good beer, the English cider we ordered is the most similar to a Spanish cider and a good white wine accompanied our tapas. If I have to recommend just one dish it would be difficult, the octopus, the mushrooms, the squid, the paella, the sweet chorizo, croquettes. We liked everything. We still needed to try the desserts but we were full enough to eat them. Another time, we will order less and try it.Wheelchair accessibility: A little tricky because of the stairs in the city center restaurant
Always a great time at Lorentes! The food is amazing, the sangria tasty, and the staff amazing. Leah made our experience. Will definitely be back!

Lorentes Friargate is in breach of its contract.I had called earlier in the day to make a booking, which was accepted.However, upon arrival no table was made available; and we were rushed out.Turns out they wrote my name down incorrectly ("Fugh" ... !?), even though I spelt it out and had them repeat it back to me ...The whole experience was embarrassing.Rather than admit fault and make amends, the restaurant continues to try and find blame with me for not "helping" the situation.

Unfortunately, we had booked for dinner and they had messed up our booking details and rejected us at the door. Unprofessional and unhelpful staff.

I was looking for somewhere interesting for my husbands birthday that had good Gluten Free options. And what an amazing place Lorentes is. The atmosphere is very Spanish and the food and drink is very authentic and excellent quality. My husband tried all sorts of things he had never had before and loved it all. The service was amazing and usual tapas style with lots of small plates arriving as they were ready. The staff were polite and knowledgable. Attentive without being too much! My favorite dish were the almonds! My goodness they were so good!!!! We will definitely be returning!
Fab food, fab
