Rubigo in Derbyshire Dales

Me and my friend had halloumi and mushroom stack yesterday, both suffered with really bad food poisoning later that evening...

They didn't accept the two of us because we walked in instead of making a booking even though we sat down at a table that has just become free and didn't have the Reserved tab on it . Bad customer service and no explanation, it didn't make sense.

Friendly staff, great cocktail list and I love the decor. Will definitely visit again.

Nicely decorated restaurant/bar, however the food is over priced for what you get. Tiny portions and other than the calamari everything else we tried was mediocre at best. Cocktails were nice but most definitely wouldn’t recommend the food. Unfortunately won’t be going back.

7 of us had to pile in unexpectedly, as the restaurant we had actually booked had a power cut. So all credit to the lovely young lady that took care of us, we had a great time with great food and cocktails, thank you!

Went again to eat and the food was incredible. It’s hands down the best I’ve eaten in Matlock. Pork belly skewers were fantastic, and the salt and pepper squid incredible, honestly.Went as a party of 12, and every single one of us was impressed with the food. Staff were are excellent, really friendly and chatty, and they did a great job of looking after us.Updated June 2021Menu has reasonably changed, and I personally find the new menu limited and disappointing (I was really looking forward to belly pork and cheese lollipops again, both now gone).Decors also changed a bit. It still looks cool, very punk / tattoo, but I did prefer the decor before.

Absolutely fantastic. Nicky the Manager is new to the bar and doing an amazing job! Very friendly, listens to the customers. The service is excellent and Jake works very well with her too! Both looked after us and made us feel very welcome. Food and cocktails are gorgeous. Thoroughly recommend and will definitely visit again. Thank you

Had a lunchtime meal and a drink here, the food was amazing, we had paella and squid and it was really affordable, the atmosphere was perfect and the staff were friendly.

Still reasonably new and easily the best bar in town. They do great food and cocktails and have an interesting line up of beers to try. Their food is very popular so if you are visiting at the weekend it is definitely a good idea to book. It is quite a small venue so finding a seat is often a problem at busy times. If that’s the only complaint you can find with a place though you’re on to a winner. They do breakfast as well which I haven’t done yet but it is on my to do list. It is the only place in town where you can sit at a table get your drinks bought over and more often than not get some complimentary bar snacks such as olives too thrown into the bargain. They have also recently started putting live entertainment on st the weekend which I worried could be over powering loud as in some of the other bars in town. I was pleasantly surprised that I could still hear others at the table though which made it rather splendid. Definitely worth a visit if you’re out shopping for antiques or on a big night out.

Great cocktails, extremely good food. Will be back soon
