Visited on a Saturday night to celebrate mine and my other half’s anniversary.We were very impressed!We had a bottle of wine to share and he had a beer. Between us we did 6 plates and a paella. The little plates were served at different times which was really nice as by the time we finished one plate the next one was out ready. The paella at the end was lovely, the waitress did mix up our order with the paella which was not a problem because it was still very good and a waiter came over to say he would knock some money off the paella for the mix up which was really appreciated. Overall experience was great, good value for money, we’ll definitely be coming again. Thank you ( had eaten most our food by the time I remembered to take a photo)Vegetarian options: The menu had vegetarian options or options that could be made vegetarianDietary restrictions: The menu was adaptableParking: Plenty of parking around the area, will have to walk a little bit to get to the restaurant but not too far

First time having tapas here and was really impressed. Good menu and great food and drinks. We had a nice warm welcome when we arrived and service by all staff was brilliant always on hand to whatever you need. Thankyou to Natalie for serving us and being very helpful also for making us fell at ease as it was our first time doing tapas. Highly recommend and will be visiting again. Thankyou

Me and my family have been going to lorentes since the first restaurant opened in derby, and this was the third time I have visited the darley abbey branch this time for my birthday and me and my family were incredibly disappointed. We ordered the set menu for 5, which was obviously reheated, fair enough it wouldn’t be cooked to order but at least heated to a decent temperature. All of the food was served luke warm, when we mentioned this half way through the service of food, it was told this complaint would go back to the kitchen. The rest of the food served was still luke warm, with a ‘seafood’ risotto with barley any seafood in and under seasoned. When we complained about the temperature of the food again, we received an apology from the chef and a free plate of churos for 6 people before being lumped with a £170 bill, paying £125 for barely enjoyable luke warm food. Do not recommend especially on a barely half full restaurant on a Tuesday evening!

Had a good time at Lorentes. This was first time visiting Darley Abbey location, having been to Friar Gate a few years ago.Nice atmosphere inside, with Christmassy decor and rustic feel. Friendly and accommodating staff. Ordered vegetarian set menu, which came with wide selection of tapas with large portion size for 4 people, parricularly with paella included too!All food was delicious, particularly the patatas bravas and escalibadas. Set menu good way to get wide selection from the menu.Excellent place to come to in Derby, will be back again I am sure!Vegetarian options: Wide selection of Vegetarian options including vegetarian set menu (minimum 4 people to order)

Food was ok but I’m sorry to say not a patch on the Nottingham restaurant as I’ve been there a couple of times. However, service let it down further. Took quite a while to get a drink and then was never offered another one. Asked for a non- alcoholic beer and was given an alcoholic one. Brought the wrong dish out which we said was wrong but then didn’t bring what we had ordered. Chased up with two different people and no apology or follow up at all so just left wondering if it was still coming. Really don’t like to leave less than brilliant reviews, especially for small independent places but this was overall a disappointing experience.

Visited recently for our anniversary (following reccomendation from a friend)… great food and sangria. Absolutely stuffed, maybe over ordered by a plate or two but even so great portion size and everything was so tasty; including the sangria! Beautiful venue and atmosphere by the river, would love to go back in summer. 10/10 would reccomend!
The truth is that I had high expectations for the place... but I was disappointed. The dishes were very small, we ordered garlic prawns as a starter... the portion was tiny and without bread. The mixed paella for two people was cold, but burnt at the base... Very far from what is expected in a paella... I ordered Sangria and it was very delicious. The employees were very friendly, yes, but we were served by 4 different people ... We ordered a cut and a cappuccino... and they were completely cold... We also ordered a brownie with chocolate and quince... And they gave us a brownie with cream and blueberry jam. The place had decorations that range from Paris to Italy... a couple of spider webs waiting for Halloween... But very little from Spain... we spent 65 pounds... I want to believe it was a bad day...

Gorgeous tapas restaurant in Darley Abbey. Cosy, warm atmosphere and delightful staff. The food is incredible - patatas bravas and veggie paella are a must!

Food very good and a lot of it...they should serve the Paella first as it was delicious and they serve it right at the end of the tapas when you are really too full to eat it. And when they served the tapas they did not tell you what you were eating!The only downside was Haslams Lane was flooded, so we had to walk over the "wibbley wobbly" temporary bridge which feels very bouncy underfoot and there was no lights at the end near Darleys.. so after the meal we weren't looking forward to crossing it.
