Our food takes inspiration from all corners of the globe. While we’re rooted in the tradition of Spanish-style tapas, our plates are a reflection of wider culinary journeys—blending Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and South American influences into something that feels fresh, vibrant, and uniquely ours. The recent addition of sushi, led by sushi chef Chris, adds another layer of craft and creativity to what we do.

We care deeply about where our ingredients come from. Sustainability matters to us, and we work closely with local suppliers to ensure our menus stay seasonal, thoughtful, and full of flavour. We also see Alora as a place to nurture talent—helping people in Nottingham and Mapperley explore new styles of food, both in the kitchen and at the table.

And then there’s the drinks. Ed Belshaw, our award-winning bartender, curates a list of beautifully made cocktails and standout wines—perfect pairings for your meal, or just something special to sip with friends.

Alora is casual, social, and full of flavour. Whether you’re stopping by for a few drinks and small plates or diving into a full shared feast, we’re here to make you feel at home—one plate (or cocktail) at a time.
