Mr Man's - Nottingham

Situated not far from the centre of Nottingham by the entrance to leafy Wollaton Park, Mr Man's is approached along a short driveway leading to what appears to be a modern detached house. Opened by Richard Man in 1987, it has become recognised as one of the most reliable Oriental eating places in the area.

The interior is spacious and intriguingly decorated - some walls are gold with a blossom embellishment, some are white with a hint of blue on the ceiling, others are hung with mirrors. Here you can tuck into classic Cantonese dishes along the lines of king prawns with ginger and spring onions, crispy aromatic duck, stir-fried monkfish with green peppers and black bean sauce, and sizzling fillet steak. There's also a separate menu devoted to Malaysian specialities. Sunday lunch is a great-value buffet.
