It’s often said that local restaurants are the backbone of a city, and that’s certainly a statement that can be applied to Sheffield which is a hotbed for independents both in the city centre and beyond.
Local eateries pride themselves on good service, tasty food - and more often than not offer a very unique experience which differs greatly to what you’d get in a chain, which tend to offer something similar regardless of where you are.
With that in mind, we decided to ask Sheffield residents to name some of their favourite local restaurants. These were some of the most popular choices.
