Does sheffield need a michelin star restaurant??

Recommended Posts

Ok - maybe it's just me that is desperate for a decent eatery in town, rather than on the outskirts. And by decent - I don't mean it has to be Michelin Star - just decent.

 

Leeds for example, has Anthony's and Fourth Floor at Harvey Nicks - both very nice. What do we have, on that level, you know somewhere you can take your mum out for a treat after shopping?

 

Don't forget Brasserie 44... my partner and I both swore we'd leave the other for their mashed potatoes, they are THAT good.

 

To be honest, I haven't heard of anywhere in the town center that's similar to those places. Leopold Hotel maybe? We've never eaten there, but it always looks pretty upscale.

There you go. I don't even know of all the decent places in Leeds city centre - there are so many!

I think there are a couple of good non-chain places in Sheffield city centre - the Wig and Pen can be a bit hit-and-miss but was very good when I was there 2 weeks ago, the new London Club is excellent, so is the Italian place in the Winter Gardens whose name I've forgotten. For me the best restaurant in Sheffield by a long shot is The Milestone and for me I think it's great that it's not in town or it would be even harder to get a table than it is now! I've been to The Old Vicarage once and thought it was OK but didn't really get what all the fuss is about. I also don't like places where I feel intimidated (and it's not as if I don't often go to nice places!) So for me, while I'd obviously welcome anything new and interesting to the Sheffield scene, I can't say I think having a Michelin-starred restaurant in town would change my life...

I must give this London Club a go.

I would just love to find a nice family run restaurant which isn't a franchise or a pub with food. I don't think there is a single outstanding restaurant in sheffield they are all chain run selling frozen processed rubbish or are just boozers selling "food"
