Little Bricks is the next step in the Evolution of The Little Brickhouse formerly housed in the old shipping container in Sherwood that sadly closed during the pandemic. Happily they are back now with a ‘brick and mortar’ restaurant on Derby Road. I have been watching their Instagram posts for a while salivating over the…

Lunch at Kurna Chata: Fabulous homemade specials to delight
A few weeks back I was checking out the Polish Hot Dog at Kurna Chata (read more here), while we were there we found that they have daily lunch specials so we made a pledge to come back and try them. Each day they post on their Facebook page what the daily offer is and…
Checking out Kurna Chata in Sneinton
Kurna Chata is a family run Polish Cafe and Restaurant located just off Meadow Lane in Sneinton. It is right next to the Twoj Supermarket and seemed quite popular when we visited. The menu was all in Polish but there were pictures and the owners were quite happy to talk us through the details. There…
Lunch at Botti di Mamma
Botti di Mamma on Broad Street owned by Edin Gondzic is the most recent reimagination of the space formerly occupied by Edins Deli Cafe and Edins Continental Cafe. The last time I was eating here was in July last year when they had knocked the Deli Cafe through into Lee Rosies Tea room to expand…
Edins Continental Cafe – Menu Del Dia
I first blogged about Edins in Broad Street back in June 2013 when I described my experience as ‘a quite delightful light lunch’. I had just had a simple meal of ‘Ham Hock & Tarragon Pasta Shells with a Dijon Mustard Sauce‘ as part of a lunchtime deal that also included a bowl of…
Sexy Mamma Love Cicchetti, and so do I!
Sexy Mama Love Cicchetti on Carlton Street in Hockley is the latest offering from Edin Gondzica. They are serving up some excellent classic small plates of Cicchetti style food (think Italian Tapas) and are well worth a visit. It gently reinvents the space formerly known as “Edin’s Natural Kitchen”. I suppose that this is just…
Gusto in West Bridgford
Gusto in West Bridgford is a relatively new arrival to the West Bridgford Dining scene. It moved into the space vacated by the Monkey Tree pub back in the Spring of 2017. The actual Monkey Tree is still there but not sure that it is filled with much gusto of it’s own these days. The…
Core’s Bistro in Lady Bay – Excellent and Honest Polish food
Core’s Bistro in Lady Bay was quite an excellent find and I have been in a couple of times now. According to their website the name is an acronym for ‘Community, Opportunity, Resources, and Expertise’. The Bistro is a partnership I understand between Maria Spalek (the owner) and Joanna Prusaczyk (Read more of the story on their website…
Edin’s Natural Kitchen in Hockley for a weekend brunch stop
Edins Natural Kitchen is in the old William Taylor Jewellery shop at 15 Carlton Street in Hockely. The Jewellers had been in the city since 1854 and closed for the last time in December 2012. As you pass by you may be forgiven for thinking that they are still there as their name is still prominent…
Edins in the Lace Market ‘a quite delightful light lunch’
Edins is in the Lace Market at 15 Broad St, just across the street from the Broadway Theatre and within easy walking distance from the Lace Market Tram stop. There are quite a few places in this little strip to drink and eat that I have already popped into, including Brew Dog, The Lord Roberts,…
