Hi All,

For the first time in a long time I will be in town and looking for lunch on Saturday. Hopefully we will be able to take some time over it and was wo ndering if anyone could recommend some good places to try.

Doesn't reall ymatter what part of town its in, or what sort of cuisine. I would prefer somewhere independant (if such places still exist!!).

So where are your favourite lunching spots?

Cheers!

Blue Moon and the Forum are our favourites.....Forum is good if you have a pushchair - lots of space. The only criticism of Blue Moon is a lack of space to be honest.....plus I've not yet seen a member of staff smile...

Which one is blue moon? Is that the one by the catherdral?

The Forum is good. They sell a very acceptable Donkey and French Fries.

The Fries come included in the price.

Whenever I go there I sing that old Dire Straits song:

'' Money for Muffin,
And your chips for free. ''

I agree - those donkey burgers have quite a kick! Best place to go in town if you're looking for a nice piece of ass.

I vote for the Old House - scrummy food, lovely staff and a nice atmosphere. Especially if you can get the sofas by the window and watch the world go by. Or at least watch Dev Street go by! Blue Moon is good too. I like the food in the Forum but I always find it a bit loud at lunchtime.

Thats the one. Its vege...I'm not a vege myself, and I wouldn't have chosen it myself to be honest, but my other half is a vege and took me in there. The wraps are good and the vegan choccy cake is great....which I would not have believed...in fact all the cakes are good.

Ignore the others about the Forum, its quite good in my view...and its not that loud, we go in there with a 2 year old...its quite relaxing in the glass area overlooking Dev green.

mmm, lots of good sounding suggestions - which one os the old house?

Just down the road from the Forum - back towards town. Used to be Halcyon.
Agreed, the Forum is good - esp when you can sit outside on the terrace (maybe not the weather for that yet). I must have been unlucky with the volume when I've been in recently (or maybe I'm getting old!!!)

Ah I know the one now.

Thanks!!

I've been thinking about this recently. There's not that many places that do good lunch time grub in town are there? Say you wanted a good 3 course meal at lunch. Where would you go?

Look at Leeds - you have Arts Cafe bar (reasonably priced, reminds me of the Forum but can have a more formal meal), Harvey Nicks, Anthony's to name but a few.

My mum and I meet up for shopping sometimes and generally go to Leeds as she lives near by. Next time we're going shopping in Sheffield. But where can we go for a 3 course late lunch in town, i.e. not down Eccy Road or outside of the actual town centre? I don't fancy the chains, and even if I did, most of them are Italian. So where do we go? Even St Paul's only serves in the restaurant in the evening!

I agree - there is a very limited choice of eating out places in Sheffield.

mcdonalds is good

or burger king:)

HaHa is delicious! But it does come at a cost!

"Caffetteria" on leopold st does gr8 paninis, home made specials, salads and sandwiches and fantastic buns & coffee, reasonably priced too

I enjoyed the Blue Moon last Saturday, lovely food and lots of it. I was looking for somewhere to go but just didn't fancy a pub/bar which then didn't leave many options.

Agree about HaHa although it is a chain for all those who are anti chains. Also, a couple of nice places in the Winter gardens - Zucca is lovely and I've heard good things about the place next to it (can't remember it's name, sorry). And Gusto Italiano on Church Street just next to the cathedral is good too.

swim inn on west street for a mixed grill

Strada is good, in Leopold Square. FOod is excellent.

thyme cafe, broomhill - superb!
