We have put together a gallery looking back at some of Sheffield’s popular restaurants over the decades, many of which closed after running in the city for generations.
Some of them are famous across generations, while some are slightly lesser known. But this gallery of pictures will bring back the memories for the thousands who ate at them over the years.
If you enjoyed this gallery, you could look at our gallery of shops from the 80s, old sweets loved by Sheffielders, or city landmarks lost to history.
