Whether it’s a civilised afternoon tea and scones you are looking for, diner and gastro pub cuisine, or something rather more sophisticated in the way of restaurant fare, the Steel City certainly has something for every taste.
The Open Table website has listed 13 Sheffield restaurants in its highest-rated category for the city including the 10 pictured here, in no particular order, as well as: the Lakeview Restaurant, at The Mercure Kenwood Hall Hotel, on Kenwood Road; The Fox Inn, on Robin Lane, at Beighton; and Yates, on Cambridge Street.
All of these 13 venues offer something different not least the fun-packed Karen’s Diner, on Suffolk Road, Sheffield, which has been described as an interactive, immersive, pop-up dining experience where staff are purposefully off-hand and customers are encouraged to whine while they dine.
