Alora Restaurant

Welcome to Alora — where small plates, bold flavours and shared experiences are at the heart of everything. Located in the vibrant heart of Mapperley, Nottingham, Alora is designed to bring people together over food that excites, surprises and delights.

The energy of the open kitchen sets the tone for every visit. Head chef Henrik Horvath, with Michelin-starred experience across Europe, leads a talented team that brings creativity, balance and flavour to every plate. Menus are seasonal and globally inspired, crafted for sharing and using ingredients sourced with care.

Highlights include tender beef sirloin with bone marrow and truffle butter, crispy calamari with parsley and lemon aioli, and Korean fried chicken with yuzu sweet chilli. Vegetarian favourites such as roast cauliflower with satay sauce and Jerusalem artichoke chips with whipped harissa feta ensure there is something for everyone — all perfect for mixing, matching and sharing at the table.

The dining room is relaxed yet refined, providing the ideal backdrop for everything from a midweek supper to a special celebration. To complement the food, award-winning bartender Ed Belshaw curates a cocktail list and wine selection designed to elevate each dish — or simply to enjoy on their own.

At Alora, great food and good company go hand in hand. Whether savouring a few small plates and cocktails at the bar or settling in for a full shared feast, every visit is designed to be memorable.
