Boa - Derby

You're walking into proper grown-up dining territory here. Boa's the kind of place where you actually want to dress up a bit—not because it's pretentious, but because the room has some genuine sophistication going on. The churrascaria experience means endless cuts of meat brought straight to your table by servers who actually know their stuff, which is refreshing when most of Derby's dining scene plays it safe. It's the sort of special occasion destination that locals quietly keep to themselves, sat right on Sadler Gate where the city's better restaurants cluster together.
