Alley's is in the city centre and so is in an ideal location to combine lunch with shopping. It's a cosy little place with a chilled out quirky vibe and very friendly staff. It can get quiet busy at lunch time so we tend to go after about 2pm for a late lunch and if its a nice day we sit outside. As well as the dishes on their menu there is also a specials board with enticing mains and desserts. Everything is vegetarian with vegan items clearly marked on the menu. Here are a few of our favourite dishes from this summers' visit:
Pitta served with fresh hummus
Tortilla's with vegan cheese and salsa
Crisp, light Ciabatta pizzas topped with sundried tomato, peppers, vegan bacon and vegan cheese. This came with a delicious salad.
Creamy chocolate milk shake made with chocolate sweedish glace and soya milk
Gluten free vegan nutty brownie with vanilla ice cream (pretty sure its sweedish glace)
The pièce de résistance has to be this amazing banoffee cheesecake. We usually order one dessert to share between two but this was so good we had to order an extra one.
We then went on to enjoy the 'beach' (part of the riviera) in the old market square http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=5436
Followed by a 'play and learn' session at the http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/ where we created our own 'masterpiece' in honour of Gert and Uwe Tobias.
Before I finish I thought I might also share with you some pieces of art work that my sister has created in her spare time, these lovingly adorn her welcoming home:
