 Upmarket bar brasserie |
Charnwood Hotel 10 Sharrow Lane Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8AA United Kingdom +44 114 258 9411 |
Brasserie Leo is part of the Charnwood Hotel, but has its own entrance on London Road. The restaurant is based on two levels and its décor is stylish, incorporating a good deal of dark wood and mosaics as well as brass and large mirrors. It is very well-lit and this, in conjunction with white linen and a good number of windows, creates an airy, welcoming feel. Tables are widely spaced, so privacy is available for discreet business discussions, but though the atmosphere is relatively formal, the clientele usually includes a good number of locals as well as hotel guests. The menu is intelligent and innovative - for instance, a warm salad of peppered venison might be followed by a main course of sautéed king scallops. Also look out for the specials board, which offers some interesting alternatives to the main menu. Prices begin at about £4.50 for a starter and range from about £10 to £15 for a main course. The food isn't cheap but all the ingredients are fresh and the quality is extremely good. In addition to its advertised opening hours, Brasserie Leo will open at lunchtime on request.

 Big restaurant, big menu, big tables |
27 London Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S2 4LA United Kingdom +44 114 272 5311 |
This large restaurant (which seats 150) is accessed from street level via a relatively steep flight of stairs. Inside, the restaurant is usually busy but service is quick and efficient and you won't be kept waiting long to order. The tables are generally very large and there is no music: this is the sort of place that suits large groups rather than an intimate tête-à-tête. The menu is huge and food is usually both delicious and very good value - a set menu for two is from about £13 and drinks are also reasonably priced. Candytown is popular with members of the Chinese community as well as with family, office and business groups. Bear in mind that the entrance stairs are relatively steep and that there is no lift.

Quality Italian restaurant |
234 Abbeydale Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S7 1FL United Kingdom +44 114 258 7664 |
Luna Rossa is a relatively recent addition to the Sheffield restaurant scene. Considering the amount of competition in Sheffield, any new Italian restaurant has to be good to survive - and Luna Rossa is. The menu demonstrates the basics of Italian cooking: good ingredients, simple techniques and bold flavours. There is pasta and pizza in abundance but if you look carefully you are certain to find something new and original. How about venison steak, Gorgonzola and spinach for instance? The restaurant has an informal atmosphere, is subtly decorated, and is popular with local couples. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Well-established Afro-Caribbean restaurant |
227a London Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S2 4NF United Kingdom +44 114 250 0004 |
This Caribbean restaurant has now been established for almost two years, and has built quite a following in Sheffield. The menu concentrates on the main islands, Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad but do watch the specials boards, where dishes from the smaller islands sometimes appear. The menu isn't expensive, with starters like salt fish fritters priced at about £3.75 and a main course of jerk chicken at around £10. The restaurant is licensed and carries a range of Caribbean beers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Classy and cutting-edge |
Park Lodge Sheffield, South Yorkshire S8 0LA United Kingdom +44 114 235 3080 |
Seemingly based on a fashionable London brasserie, you might forget that you're still in Sheffield once you step inside this classy, internationally-flavored restaurant, which feels spacious and is decorated in a modern, understated way, in subdued colors, with a good deal of space around tables. There is a set menu as well as an à la carte menu, which consists of seven starters and eight main courses. Dishes are adventurous, steering well clear of the norm, and include several vegetarian options: the quality is generally excellent. The extensive wine list includes many reasonably-priced bottles as well as some more special options. This is a great place to spend an evening and is secluded enough to work well for a date, but is also formal enough to make it a good business choice. Service is attentive but not insistent and you will never feel rushed here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Friendly and good value |
238 Abbeydale Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S7 1FL United Kingdom +44 114 250 8436 |
Morilles is a simply furnished but cosy little bistro, which is decorated in bright colours and has a bring your own wine policy which helps to keep prices down. In keeping with the general ambience, the menu lacks pretension but it does feature fresh ingredients, vivid flavours and good presentation. Try mussels with a piquant garlic and tomato sauce from about. For a main course you can't beat the beef stroganoff. The atmosphere is intimate and this is a great place for a romantic evening out. Street parking is available outside. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Spacious with excellent food |
186 London Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S2 6PG United Kingdom +44 114 255 1722 |
Eating Italian food in the heart of Sheffield might appear a little surreal but there are plenty of authentic Italian-owned restaurants about, and Pavarotti's is no exception; the quality of Italian cuisine here will make you feel as though you're sitting in the centre of Rome. The size of this cafe/restaurant is deceptive from the outside; the interior has two floors and is spacious. The main feature on the first floor is the semi-circular bar area, which allows diners to see the open-plan kitchen area, so they can watch food being freshly prepared. The menu offers everything you would expect of an Italian eatery and the rich aroma adds to this expectation from the moment you enter. Prices are very good and the portion sizes would not shame any Italian Mama. Review © 2007, Wcities |
