I located ViDa by Lorentes (Established 2020) in Nottingham. Having had it recommended, I found this eatery very worthwhile experience, with authentic Tapas, Arroces, Picoteo, Cured Meats and more. seeking out. Certainly, with the ambience and setting, we could easily be in Spain!

The welcome, by Vicente, is genuine and sets a relaxing

To commence, I opted for ALMENDRAS (Olive oil fried and salted almonds). Just perfect, for setting the progression of my taste buds on to the further courses. Next, I chose POLLO CON COUSCOUS (Fried chicken bites with a vegetable couscous topped with a yoghurt and mint sauce), from a splendid list of tapas selections. Superb flavours prevailed and, absolutely, ‘Compliments to Chef’, were very much justified. The complementing flavours and presentation added to the enjoyment of this dish. Head Chef, Albi and the team impress – very much so –with knowledge and skills to satisfy, memorably. For Postres, I selected TARTA DE OUESO (Homemade cheesecake baked in the oven). Excellent! Grand Spanish cheeses and cured meats are also available and very popular too. Quality wines/drinks, including beers and ciders, have something you to Vicente and all staff, for advice and impeccable service throughout. ViDa by Lorentes fulfils that relaxing, authentic requirement. Collections and gift vouchers are also available. Very much recommended. for everyone. Cocktails have many ‘devotees’ here, also.

If in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, do make a point of visiting ViDa by Lorentes. Thank
