 Long-established reputation |
307 Ecclesall Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8NX United Kingdom +44 114 268 3029 |
The Ashoka, one of the longest established Indian restaurants in Sheffield, continues to enjoy a well-deserved reputation for good quality food at reasonable prices. It is situated in a busy part of town and because it's open late at weekends, it is a convenient place to stop off before or after a night out in the city centre. It attracts couples and small groups of all ages and is almost always busy on Friday and Saturday nights, especially with the younger crowd - so remember to book! Earlier in the evening and during the week, it is generally quieter and so ideal for that romantic date; it is small and quite intimate, although it's worth remembering that tables are placed relatively close together. The restaurant is fully licensed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Well-established Continental style bistro |
150-154 Devonshire St Sheffield, South Yorkshire S3 7SG United Kingdom +44 114 249 0720 |
Originally Mr Kite's wine bar, this small restaurant has been popular in Sheffield for years. Attracting customers of all ages, especially families and couples, it has a friendly, Continental feel; tables spill out onto the pavement in warm weather and movie posters, old-fashioned signs and mirrors decorate the walls. The atmosphere is also very relaxed and service is leisurely. The restaurant is always busy, especially at night, when live bands sometimes play. The reasonably-priced menu includes options such as peppered chicken, swordfish steak, cheese and broccoli bake and a good range of pizzas. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

Informal, lively setting |
10 Commonside Walkley Sheffield, South Yorkshire S10 1GB United Kingdom +44 114 268 6983 |
Chez Lahlou offers great food in an informal, lively setting. It is popular locally and is usually busy. Subtle lighting and attentive service means it feels intimate enough to appeal to couples (though bear in mind that it is small and that the tables are close together) but it also attracts small groups and families. The atmosphere is laid back and nothing is rushed, but given the gargantuan portions on offer that's no bad thing, as you'll probably need time between courses to recover. The garlic sausage starter is a meal in itself and the French and Italian-themed main courses, like the fillet aux trois poivres, are accompanied by a mountain of vegetables. Warm chocolate profiteroles and other delights await the few who can still manage a dessert. This is definitely a place to linger. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Very popular, with real atmosphere |
Abbeydale Road South The Old Station Sheffield, South Yorkshire S17 3LB United Kingdom +44 114 262 0675 http://delhijunction.co.uk/ |
The décor is smart but distinctive: there is a lot of black lacquer and gold leaf and the waiters always wear dinner jackets. The Maitre d' is a real character, who welcomes diners personally and will gladly recommend a selection of dishes for you. The restaurant is situated in the old Dore railway station and trains can still be heard rattling past on the line outside, although most customers feel that this adds atmosphere and does not detract from the surroundings or from the experience of enjoying the excellent food.

Deservedly popular |
961 Ecclesall Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8TN United Kingdom +44 114 267 6161 |
This friendly local eatery is deservedly popular with local families and couples as well as business visitors and offers extremely good value for money. The menu is predictable Italian fare; pasta is available at reasonably priced and so are the pizzas. For something a little bit different, try chicken with parma ham. The restaurant is not licensed, but customers are welcome to bring their own wine. If you are feeling romantic, ask for the famous lucky table: half a dozen engagements are reputed to have started here! Review © 2007, Wcities |

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 |

Bistro-style restaurant specializing in seafood |
271 Sharrow Vale Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8ZF United Kingdom +44 114 266 1069 |
The Mediterranean is one of perhaps half a dozen Sheffield restaurants which have deservedly earned a regional, not just a local, reputation. It specializes in interesting fish dishes, although alternatives (including vegetarian options) are available. Although the theme is Mediterranean, the emphasis is on Spain and, if you don't want the full monty, this is one of the few places in South Yorkshire where you can find genuine tapas. The restaurant is intimate with subdued lighting, candles and a distinctly Spanish feel. Music plays softly throughout the evening. It is popular with couples and with locals of all ages, who often eat here in small groups. A typical meal might include a pan-fried quail salad starter followed by an unusual and delicious dish called zarazuella - a sort of Spanish fish stew. Most of the waiters are Spanish and service is attentive but also laid back: you will not feel rushed. This is a great place to relax and think about that next holiday in the sun!

Continental style bar equipped for special occasions |
301 Ecclesall Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8NX United Kingdom +44 114 266 1788 http://www.menzels.co.uk/ |
Formerly an upmarket wine bar/restaurant, Menzels has redirected its focus entirely to the bar.

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 |

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! Review © 2007, Wcities |

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.

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 |

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.

Intimate Italian Restaurant |
349 Ecclesall Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8PF United Kingdom +44 114 266 4168 |
Vittoria's is a small, intimate restaurant, where the feeling of intimacy is enhanced by the way that the room is divided into a number of individual bays: you can enjoy real privacy here. Helpful and friendly staff will ensure that you enjoy your meal. The atmosphere is informal: this is the sort of place where you will feel comfortable either on that intimate date or with a party of close friends. The menu includes a good range of pasta and pizza, and there are also more individual items such as Saltimbocca Romana (veal and parma ham, white wine and sage). The restaurant is licensed. The restaurant can be busy at weekends, when booking is advisable. Review © 2007, Wcities |

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. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Superior Italian restaurant |
3 Sharrow Lane Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8AE United Kingdom +44 114 258 8164 |
The standard of both food and service in Rossi's is very high, but its most unusual feature is that it is housed in a former bank. This creates a great feeling of space - and eating between marble pillars certainly adds something special to the evening. You can choose from the usual range of pasta and pizzas and even this section of the menu makes you feel that what you are getting is the real thing. At the more expensive end of the menu, expect some interesting options, from about £14 per person, such as a casserole of fish and vegetables with saffron rice - a dish for two people to share. Service is excellent and as street parking is available outside, the doorman will even keep an eye on your car while you eat. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Very popular Italian restaurant |
371-373 Ecclesall Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8PF United Kingdom +44 114 267 0078 |
Santino's is so good it has expanded to take over the shop next door - and it still fills up quickly! This is definitely one restaurant where booking is advisable, particularly for mid-evening and weekend meals. White walls and murals create an almost Roman feel. The restaurant is owned and run by Italians and this shows in the menu, which runs far beyond pasta and pizza. You could start with a selection of cured meats served with marinated peppers (antipasto con pepperocino) and, for the main course, try vitello valdostana (scallops of veal cooked with mushrooms and white wine). Service is attentive but the atmosphere is laid back: this is a place to relax and enjoy your evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Friendly restaurant in popular suburb |
352 Sharrowvale Road Sheffield, South Yorkshire S11 8ZP United Kingdom +44 114 268 5150 |
This pleasant and relatively small Italian restaurant, located in a busy area of Sheffield, is open every evening and has a very relaxed atmosphere. It is popular for family gatherings, students dining with parents and convivial groups of all sorts. It hums with conversation and popular tunes from decades past almost from the minute it opens every night. The pale green papered walls are enlivened with paintings and posters of Italian resorts (which can prove very tempting if you're planning your next holiday) and the menu is based on a series of steak, chicken and fish dishes: there are some delicious options. There is also a varied wine list and bar. Review © 2007, Wcities |
