does anyone know anywhere nice to go to eat?

Welcome to Sheffield Forum! :wave:

There are lots of good restaurants in Sheffield - any preferences?

Crystal on Carver Street (opposite Flares) :thumbsup:

If you search, or just check the past few pages, there's a big thread devoted to it!

Rafters is a excellent place to eat

I went to a restaurant called "Thai at the Travellers", which is a restaurant in a former pub, situated in Holmesfield (in south Sheffield, heading towards Norton College in south Sheffield, right into Bradway & left into Holmesfield). The food is delicious, presentation second to none and the service is great, too. I went for the lunchtime special: two courses for £6.95 - there were 8 starters and 8 main courses to choose from. Far too much food to eat. I also recommend the prawn crackers (both plain & spicy).

alcohol:

some great restaurants (my choice)

informal:

Scala - Millhouses (italian)

Kitos - Woodseats (italian)

formal:

Rafters - Hangingwater (off ecclesall Road) (english/french)

Greenhead House - Chapeltown (english/french)

Lots of others just on the outskirts of Sheffield!!!

Happy eating :D

try bbc website called "greedy cow" or google for it.
recommends loads of south yorkshire places to eat

Go to London Road. There are some amazing restaurants on that road.

Dim Sum
Vietnamese Noodle Bar
That Fondue and Dumpling place
Wassabi Sabi

Haven't rated the Vietnamese Noodle Bar in about the last 8 months. The service always seemed pretty bad, but now it's like they're not even trying at all. The Noodle Inn a couple of doors down in loads better IMO.

Not forgetting Marco @ Milano's at Millhouses.

Superb Italian restaurant.

Papa Ciccios at Crosspool! Lovely food and atmosphere and ladies watch out for the owner - oh my god! Italian Stallion eat your heart out - its a favourite with me and my mates!

An Italian run by Italians: BBs is great, on Division Street in the centre. You need to book well in advance usually. Good sized portions. Amazing steaks. Huge king prawns. Homemade fare. No nonsense and reasonably priced (not cheap though). You can take YOUR OWN alcohol, too! Service is great and the staff are very friendly and a good laugh if you want to chat to them. Excellent atmosphere every time I have been. Never lets me down.

One to avoid:

Maria's up Crookes... Service is shockingly bad, the place itself is WAY too small for its purpose, and the prices are a bit steep to put it politely, even with 10% NUS card discount.

Did have a couple of good meals in marias, but your not too far off the mark... food is a little overpriced for what you get (although slightly off set if you bring your own wine).

Spinrocs down the street though is much better... a much more relaxed atmosphere and better food.

I would never eat at Rafters. the owner is a complete cock.

Throws stuff out the window at my car, and hurls abuse at me and my missus.

All because he "thinks" I was using a mobile phone while driving.


Pasta Bowl is good down near sharrowvale, Santino's on ecclesall road, Rosi's just off london road and La Terraza also near sharrowvale.

Thyme, and Thyme Cafe are both good - Thyme's out in x-pool, and Thyme Cafe's in Broomhill.

Regents Terrace in Town has a good reputation.

Santino's on Ecclesall Road or Marco @ Milano's are the best Italians.

Depends how much you want to spend.

Rafters is exellent, £30 for 3 courses, in the week I think you can take your own wine.

Also the Blue Finn resturant on the top of Ecclesall road, really great value for money at lunch time, £8.95 for two courses and a glass of wine, you get a choice of 3, I was really impressed, the main course portion wasnt massive but enough for lunch, great resturant if you like fish.

Went to Thyme cafe in Broomhill, was'nt that impressed, nice enough food a bit similar to all bar one, wont be rushing back.

And finally the Indian Buffet all you can eat of West Street next to Mad Greek, great food for £8.95

Thats all folks

I second that, along with Rossi's just off London Road.
