I know sheffield reasonably well, there are numerous chinese buffet restaurants, what type of restaurant does sheffield really need?
Another buffet place but with different cuisine?
A different type of cuisine altogether?

Not another fast food joint.

How about an Icelandic place, can't remember seeing one of those anywhere.

One, just one, that's all I ask that doesn't have piped music. I don't care what type of food they serve, whether it's a buffet, carvery or table service, just as long as I can sit in peace and chat with my friends without someone else's choice of banal pop row ruining my evening.

surely it depends on the location?

where did you have in mind?

Location depends on the type of restuarant surely :p

depends on availability of property and your budget ;)

How about somewhere with the potential to get a michelin star

Somewhere selling REAL food. Fresh, simple, good, no rubbish.

I'll vote for that too :)

how about somewhere where we can have a civilised night out?

the nightlife in sheffield is easily ruined by the drunkards that think a night out means over indulging :rolleyes: somewhere a bit 'pre-theatre-ish'?

Somewhere marketing low calorie, low fat food but which is DELICIOUS! They have loads in America, why not here???

ah, that would be a great money spinner - for the lunchtime market :)

I agree, not too many frills, not over priced, but a nice quiet restaurant, serving traditional english food in a setting where you can hold a conversation without shouting.

Ha, that reminded me of this - the comments are priceless.

I know exactly what Sheffield needs but can't say as yet cos have got a couple of ideas we're working on.

Watch this space!

How about an English one.......Now that would be a novelty

Like what though?

a good fish resturant, a good fine curry house and a child friendly non scratchy resturant

What Sheffield lacks is a good old fashioned English type eaterie, selling things like fresh cooked roast meals, meat and potato pie, corned beef hash, shepherds pie, good fish and chips and similar, everything seems to be foreign or "all day breakfasts" . If you go to other cities they seem to have good sit down cafe/restaurants selling english food.

There was one, it as called "mash house" and it was one division street. it was rubbish, the food was well cooked but it was dull and lacked atmos. The type of food they did was typical english food, which imo is boring, when i go to a restaurant i like to have food that i couldnt cook at home with ease.

Many others posted this, and agree with them all. A place that sells good old fashioned English food.

give the Black Bull in Ecclesfield a go, it as very good set meals and a la carte nice prices london and paris trained chef all english meals if you want all cooked on the premises no frozen ingredients. just had very exspensive refurb it is no smoking in all rooms anybody put off by the reputation dont be, believe me it is a completely different atmosphere,give it a try and spread the word

A clean one with pleasant staff would be a novelty. :thumbsup:

see the post above your post the Black Bull is clean and spotless and the staff are great

Not tried it, but it shall be added to ones list of eateries to be sampled. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Agree with the English food restaurant but a good vegetarian one would be great.:thumbsup:

i can name a few which meet all of those.

What about a resturant dedicated to soup...that could be interesting

A Yo Sushi bar would be great, the japanese place on London road is a bit too formal for me. Yo Sushi has a little rotating conveyer belt in the centre and you can just pick off the dishes of food you fancy the look of! Brilliant and very healthy!!

Agree with the English food restaurant but a good vegetarian one would be great.:thumbsup:

Was going to say the same but one that caters for vegans too, and by that I mean a choice of more than one dish.

A proper steak house that offers a good choice of quality cuts cooked by chefs that know what they're doing. All we have now are pub/restaurants that serve a small piece of poorly cooked rubber with a few frozen chips and some limp salad.

I agree - a decent vegetarian restaurant with vegan options too. I also get fed up of being offered only one dish on a menu. It would be nice to have a decent choice.

Are there any vegetarian restaurants left in Sheffield? There used to be a really good one :) in Sharrowvale Road some years ago, but I know it closed :( .

What about a Greek restaurant, Saganaki cheese, mmmmmmmmm

An outback steak house :thumbsup:

Look out for the next Kumquat Mae meet! It's on Abbeydale Road. They have a set menu, but it's based on what's fresh and good on the day at the market. They're very good. Even the meat eaters are satisfied with the place. Keep your eyes peeled on the Evenings Out section. :thumbsup:

This is what we need. If any veggies go to Hull I recommend sourcing this place out! You choose the menu if you are first to book - they will do any country and theme it!

I also went to a brilliant restaurant in Northampton that let you pick what you wanted and it was cooked on a plate in front of you (think it was Lebanese but sheiks and the one on south road are nothing like it) My mate only liked meat so he had a pile of meat and I am veggie so I had a pile of vegs whilst the others had something in between.

Somehwere that has organic meat, you never know what your eating! I was wanting to go out tonight for a nice healthy meal but honestly can't thing of anywhere that does fresh healthy meals! Any ideas anyone?!!

If you ask this kind of question, I take it, you're not a chef, are you ?

I too would like to see more 'cook from fresh' type of restaurant. Whatever the type of category of food. Whether it's ethnic, or British Modern. Though, I think this type of restaurant is sadly not possible near this region. (I don't know why it doesn't happen here, but the owners are either out to make money, than to feed the masses, and feed them well.) Since we're in Yorkshire, we should be able to source good local ingredients, you know ? A lot of ingredients are imported. So it is rare to cook from fresh fresh.

I think for Sheffield, people don't think health, but more on quantity, than quality, which I feel is kinda wrong. We're definitely a city which dines out for special occasions, and not dining out for an everyday meal.

I think if we had a 'from fresh ingredient' type of restaurant at a good decent Sheffield price. Then people will flog to it. It doesn't have to be fancy, but just decent, and fresh. Something creative, which people cannot cook at home, but decent enough to be worthy of dining out for. At the right price, people will flog to it.

On the point of Yo Sushi, I hope we don't get one of those here. Cos I feel such places are always too manufactured just like any other chain. Sushi in Japan are literally made from fish caught and cut that day. We don't have this kind of infrastructure in place in the UK anyway. Sheffield is definitely in the wrong place for this type of cuisine to happen.

Hi,

Regardless of whether or not you are correct in your supposition that you know what Sheffield needs, I think, when it comes to eateries, that the crucial factor in its success will be whether it provides what Sheffield wants.

My brother knows the folks who run it - top place.

Personally I'd like to see an *Indian* veggie restaurant in Sheffield

Korean. I'm rather fond of it, nearest is manchester or birmingham at present.

Thanks for this. I've never heard of it before but it looks a good place. I've clicked the link and looked at the menu etc and it is mostly vegetarian or vegan - wonderful.

May check it out later this week.

a lebanese restaurant, greek, north african such as morrocan. Otherwise just high quality english restaurants serving good seafood, lamb and other things which aren't that easy to do yourself at home with a short preparation time.

may see you later then :)

is there a Moroccan restaurant in sheffield? if not we need one!

A Czech restaurant, ha ha.

Or maybe a European theme restaurant with traditional foods from different European countries. A small selection of well cooked (as in traditionally cooked and authentic taste) traditional/national dish's from all EU member states, I would go somewhere like that.

Hi Komal

Thanks for your advice - it does fabulous food :D !! We called in for sarnies and drinks this afternoon, very good value, £15 for the three of us.

We're planning a return visit for an evening meal very soon :thumbsup: .

Hi,

Isn't the well known 'Sheikh's' on Glossop Road a Lebanese restaurant?

cool, perhaps I saw you! I remember people coming in saying they heard about us on the forum, i was in the kitchen with red hair :hihi:

evening food is amazing, we've just started doing really delicious meals, a good vegetarian and vegan one would be the aubergine rolls stuffed with red rice and vegetables, served with salsa verde! delicious :)

Personally I'd like to see an *Indian* veggie restaurant in Sheffield

Seconded (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=148686) ...

ROMANIAN RESTAURANT:hihi:

:) Yes, good idea!

I'd like an upmarket and stylish veggie place like David Bann (http://www.davidbann.co.uk/)in Edinburgh

If we get an upmarket veggie restaurant, can we get a token meat dish?

We meat eaters offer a token Veggie dish :D

I went to a veggie restaurant in Edinburgh, and nothing appealed to me :(

I'd like to see either:

1. A Mexican place like Kpasa used to be (Ie. Not expensive, decent portions, nice food and a fun place to be).

2. An Indian buffet.

I would like a better choice of tapas restaurants, not the chains churning out the pre-packed rubbery stuff. Cubana is great but to me it's more of a night time venue. I'd like somewhere I can take my children to at tea time or lunchtime.

The Mediterranean has done lovely tapas for years.
I am married to the owner, before any one asks.
It's open lunchtimes Monday to Saturday and from 5.30pm evenings.

I would like a proper Vietnamese restaurant which Sheffield has never had. Both places that billed themselves as Vietnamese were nothing of the sort.

A proper BBQ restaurant perhaps South America / mediteranean with amazing steaks, chicken, ribs, king prawns fish & lamb with a high quality help yourself salad bar with all kinds of cus cus, pasta, potatos, rice. Also a proper southern America soul food/ creole place.

anything is fine just make sure they love food

South Indian style vegatarian restaurant. Authentic and not the chain food crap.
Proper BBQ style place with humongous steaks as seen on Man v Food :)

We have two - east and west and Dhanisthas.

(OK they do meat and fish too but plenty of veg options).

Agree with the BBQ place.
The burgers, ribs and steaks in this town are either rubbish (think Sams , Swankies etc) or OK but too expensive (think Cricket Inn or Relish for Burger, any upmarket restaurant for steaks).

Someone needs to copy this guy for the burgers - http://willeatformoney.blogspot.com/2010/04/meatwagon-peckham.html

I'll tell u what we definitely DONT need in Sheffield - a chicken and chips diner. We have too many of them. 90% of them utter crap and we dont need any more.

Good polite staff. Get this right...and your half way there.

A proper steak house that offers a good choice of quality cuts cooked by chefs that know what they're doing. All we have now are pub/restaurants that serve a small piece of poorly cooked rubber with a few frozen chips and some limp salad.




Above is an old post but it's on the money. A good steak house with good meat cooked as you like it. Served with FRESH salads or FRESH veggies and well cooked chips or spuds.

Regards

Angel.

we need a taybarns its an all you can eat buffet with everything - italian, chipshop, salad, chinese, indian. etc it is too far stocksbridge for me anyway would be good in centre of sheffield and would make a fortune
