2015 was an incredible year and I got to eat some spectacular food. Here is a list of what I feel were the highlights (in no particular order): Please excuse the awful punctuation, I am trying to keep it brief; you can always read the full review of a particular venue by clicking on the links.
I'm going to do this over six sections, the first five sections will be 25 places to eat and the last section will be something different.
Here we go with part 3, the next five places to eat :)

The new owners certainly know how to produce tasty food, and the specials board was breath taking as well as the everyday menu. Going back to try the Lobster Thermidore for my birthday :)
Revolucion de Cuba, Derby.

This place has it all; atmosphere, food and drinks. We personally feel that these guys do the best Tapas.
Shalimar, Darley Dale.

Fantastic Indian cuisine and they will bring out sauces for you to try if you’re not sure of their spiciness. The service was second-to-none.
Blueys Aussie Steakhouse, Alfreton.

Friendly staff, good grub and just the most amazing Chocolate Mousse you will ever taste - but you do need to order the mousse at least 48 hours in advance.
Opulence Restaurant, Derby.

Breath-taking setting, excellent service and very tasty food. The duo of beef was superb, as was my fish.
