A Thirty Nine


Cruising restaurant
Victoria Quays, Box 2
Wharf St
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S2 2SY
United Kingdom
+44 114 243 0964
Cruise along the Sheffield canal, enjoying the views this comfortable and unusual restaurant offers. A Thirty Nine (a refurbished cargo carrier now traditionally decorated) attracts families, couples, and professionals of all ages. The boat can also be chartered for private parties or business functions. A range of traditional English meat dishes are offered and vegetarian options are also available. Trout with almonds and the deliciously smooth creamy leek croustade are recommended. (2 course meals are from about £30.) House wine is from about £8 a bottle and a bar is also available. Reservations can be made for Wednesday and Friday evenings and for Sunday lunchtime. The first Saturday evening in every month is also available.

Baldwins Omega


Large restaurant with excellent reputation
Brincliffe Hill
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 9DF
United Kingdom
+44 114 255 3263
This restaurant, which is based in two large rooms with lots of seating space, has an excellent reputation in Sheffield, although it is usually only open at lunchtimes. It serves delicious meals from an impressive menu. (Options which are particularly good include the succulent chicken in white wine with vegetables.) Alcohol is available from two bars and wine can be ordered from the table. This is an ideal venue for a business lunch or celebration. It also hosts occasional theme nights for the public and is available to hire for private evening functions.

Cafe Azure


Simple but sophisticated
Millennium Galleries
Arundel Gate
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S1 2PP
United Kingdom
+44 114 278 2600
As the name suggests, Cafe Azure is cool and blue. But what else would you expect? This restaurant/cafe is the main source of refreshment in the prestigious new Millennium Galleries and well-worth a visit in its own right. It's a high, airy venue with plenty of space. Additional tables are provided outside on Arundel Gate. The food is simple but sophisticated, with a good range of sandwiches and some attractive main courses, such as salmon and prawn fish cakes. Service can be slow but the restaurant is licensed and, given its situation, could become one of the most popular places to meet in Sheffield. The atmosphere, generally, is laid back—you will feel comfortable here even if you're on your own.

Carriages Restaurant


Top-class English cooking
289 Abbeydale Road South
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S17 3LB
United Kingdom
+44 114 235 0101
http://www.carriagesrestaurant...
You don't expect to find one of Sheffield's best restaurants in a building that looks a bit like a prefab beside a main railway line, but Carriages is extremely impressive, so be prepared for a surprise! The food is outstanding and the excellent reputation the restaurant has locally is richly deserved. The style is modern English, with starters, such as baked blue cheese tartlet with caramelised onions followed by unusual combinations like slow-roasted fillet of salmon with bubble and squeak and grilled proscuitto. If you've any room left, the puddings are equally worth exploring. The clientele includes professionals and couples and this is also a favourite venue for business meetings.

Chequers Inn


Traditional country inn on open moorland
Froggatt Edge
Sheffield, Derbyshire S32 3ZJ
United Kingdom
+44 1433 63 0231
http://www.chequers-froggatt.com/
This lovely pub, which is situated on open moorland just twenty minutes' drive from Sheffield city centre offers the chance of a summer evening drink in a pub garden with a beautiful view, or a superb, freshly cooked meal in an attractive pub bar. Traditional English steak is offered alongside original dishes borrowing from Mediterranean, Thai and Chinese cuisine. A range of special main courses, starters and wonderful puddings is added daily; and to complement this, recommended wines are sold by the bottle (from £8.50) and half-bottle.

Dore Moor Inn


Food and drink all day
Hathersage Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S17 3AB
United Kingdom
+44 114 235 5121
This large pub-restaurant, situated close to some of the surrounding area's most beautiful countryside, has built up a great reputation locally as an excellent place to eat. There is a small bar area but this is mainly used as a place to wait for tables: the separate eating section is larger and more comfortable. Food is served throughout the day and the menu includes Italian pasta dishes as well as chicken, fish and meat. Excellent, very big ice cream desserts are served. Food is reasonably priced and tables can usually be found quite quickly, as the eating area is so large. A children's menu is also available.

Hanrahans


Upmarket bar and restaurant
375-385 Glossop Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S10 2HQ
United Kingdom
+44 114 275 5665
This branch of the national chain, situated close to Sheffield University and the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, is an attractive conversion of a Victorian villa. The large bar and separate restaurant area are stylishly decorated, and there is an emphasis on stainless steel and wood. The bar is famous throughout Sheffield for its cocktail menu and is popular with young professionals. An extensive menu of generally fresh food is available: starters begin at around £3.75 and standard main courses range from about £8 to £10. Luxuries such as grilled sea bream with garlic and capsicum are available from the specials board. A large car park is provided for the use of customers.

Milano Restaurant


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.

Nonna's


Superb Italian restaurant and deli
539-541 Ecclesall Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8PR
United Kingdom
+44 114 268 6166
http://www.nonnas.co.uk/conten...
Open the door of Nonna's and you could almost be in northern Italy: real Italian coffee, pasta, wine, olives, prosciutto, and even Italian newspapers are all available. A coffee bar, restaurant and deli are shoehorned into what used to be a butcher's shop: this means the restaurant is small and booking is essential, but it is well worth the effort. Real Italian food and the freshest ingredients are cooked to perfection. In all, Nonna's is a little gem—almost too good to share!

Old Vicarage


Top quality Michelin-starred restaurant
Ridgeway
(off B6388)
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S12 3XW
United Kingdom
+44 114 247 5814
http://www.theoldvicarage.co.uk
The Old Vicarage, a first class restaurant by any standards, currently holds a Michelin Star (the only restaurant with this honor in Sheffield) and two Egon Ronay Stars. The restaurant itself has an elegant, luxurious feel and service is extremely attentive. Expect to find cooking of the highest quality, integrating traditional and modern ingredients and techniques to create unusual and mouthwatering dishes, such as toasted goat's cheese with summer fruit chutney to start.

Rafters


Popular, innovative and excellent value
220 Oakbrook Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 7ED
United Kingdom
+44 114 230 4819
You might easily miss this unusually-shaped restaurant - but that would be a tragedy! Housed upstairs in a seemingly nondescript building just round the corner from Nether Green Post Office, it features some of the most interesting and innovative cooking in South Yorkshire and has a justly excellent reputation in Sheffield. Try something unusual, like filo samosas with curried monkfish, or something traditional - such as braised lamb shank with root vegetables. Whichever route you take you will be pleasantly surprised by both taste and price - it won't cost much more than £25 per head for three courses. This is definitely not one to miss. Service is helpful but not intrusive and the décor is contemporary. The restaurant is popular with local couples as well as with small groups of professionals and business visitors.

Richard Smith at Thyme


High quality modern bistro
32-34 Sandygate Rd
Crosspool
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S10 4 DQ
United Kingdom
+44 114 266 6096
http://www.thymeforfood.co.uk/...
This restaurant is very much a star attraction in Sheffield and should appeal to anyone who enjoys excellent food but is unsure what to eat. Although these two restaurants are owned and operated by Richard Smith, the adjacency does provide patrons to the building a feeling of variety. Artisan, the contemporary bistro, presents a casual stylish stmosphere serving up all the dishes you would expect from a café including Bangers and Mash, Beef Fillets, or Shepards Pie. Upstairs, patrons are greeted to a quaint, informal seafood restaurant with an array of fresh dishes from Chesapeake seafood chowder to a Spaghetti of langoustines. Both restaurants are open seven days a week.

Uncle Sam's Chuck Wagon


American themed burger restaurant
298 Ecclesall Road
Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8PE
United Kingdom
+44 114 266 8588
This burger restaurant with an American theme is extremely popular with local families and groups of young people as well as with couples, who tend to eat here later in the evening or at lunchtimes. Uncle Sam's Chuck Wagon is not part of a chain and it has an excellent, if somewhat individual, atmosphere. Seating is comfortable but not luxurious: it is modelled on the American diner theme and has an informal feel. The menu provides good value for money, although it is fairly conventional. Some Mexican dishes are also available, such as burritos. The restaurant is licensed and air-conditioned (though this isn't always essential in Sheffield!) Customers can have a quiet drink while they wait for a table at a small bar area near the entrance. Booking is not required, except for larger groups.

Walnut Club


Vegan treat
Main Road
Unit 6, The Square
Sheffield S32 1BB
United Kingdom
+44 (0)1433 65 1155
http://www.thewalnutclub.com/
When options like live jazz and patio seating come together with organic vegan fare, vegetarians are bound to be lured. The interiors here have a modern approach to it and while stainless steel tables and chairs line the patio, the dining hall inside is cosier. The dishes are prepared by chief executive chef Nick Wilson, winner of the Michelin award. Come by on Sundays to partake of the Sunday Roast feast.
