    Revolución de Cuba - Derby - Very roomy and elegant interior.

    Revolución de Cuba - Derby

    (5 reviews)

    This is the restaurant outlet, it appears, of the Revolution de Cuba BAR at No.1, The Strand. It is…read morea large, elegantly fashioned place that specializes in burgers and Latin American-style food. On weeknights, and most certainly, weekends, it does get quite busy. It's located a tiny wee bit off the city centre, but just about a 5-6 minute walk from the pedestrian precinct. It's an upmarket place, burgers go for as much as UKP 13, including fries and mayonnaise. Nothing more. There are several other sides available, and I do HEARTILY recommend the onion rings, which turned out to be the best I've had in my life - and there was quite a stack of them for a moderate UKP 3. A year ago I ate chimichangas there, which were quite all right but certainly not outstanding. This time I opted for the beef burger with pulled pork, and it was a good choice. Very good meat, very fine burger. The portion of fries was modest, but they were tasty. To avoid the crowds I had an early dinner at about 5.30 p.m. on a weekday, so it was rather empty. But it's a very elegant place with nice, attentive staff. The beer selection focuses on lagers - obviously. But then, there are OH SO MANY real ale pubs in Derby close by, like e.g. the wonderful The Flower Pot, within a 5-minute walking distance. Recommended for burgers and those great onion rings.

    Fantastic lively restaurant and bar with an extensive rum and cocktail menu. The cuban music is fun…read moreand festival-esque, very atmospheric and on Saturdays they have a live Cuban band too. The food is delicious, I particularly recommend the tapas :) Loud gorgeous flavours emulate from all the dishes! Will definitely be returning here regularly :)

    Smart Aston Court Hotel - Reception

    A good experience altogether. The hotel looks very bland on the outside, but the reception area is…read morequite elegant, considering its category. Reception staff were a bit on the cool side, but professional and efficient. The hotel is right opposite Derby Midland station, and about a 12-15 minute walk from the city centre (slackers can always use the bus). Due to Covid room service was available on-demand only, but that's not a problem for me. The rooms were very nice for the price, small-ish but not too small, with a modern and clean shower. If you arrive late at night from a pub crawl, you must make yourself get heard to get in. Again, not a problem. The flat screen TV was larger than usual, and with plenty of available channels. The shower worked okay once I figured out how to get warm water. Good location, better than expected room for the price. There's continental and British breakfast buffet in a rather elegant room on the ground level (UKP 9.50 per day if not included with the room, only made use of it once - very much okay), and thankfully there was a lift (which was working except for a day and a half during my 6-nights stay). Derby is a great place for real ale drinkers, and this hotel is a very good option for your stay. Would book again!

    The Smart Aston Court Hotel is situated right next to the train station, so is ideally situated if…read moreyou are coming into Derby by train . However it might be worth mentioning that the station is not in the City Center. In actual fact the center is a good 15-20 minutes walk away. There are however some decent bars and restaurants in the area if you don't want to venture too far. Rooms were small but clean, the bed comfortable but everything seemed a little tired. My room had clearly been a smoking room at one point as, unfortunately, it smelled of stale smoke. Staff were very nice and friendly and the cooked English breakfast was a real treat! All in all a great value hotel in a city were the hotel prices are pretty high.
