Any good recommendations?
Needs to be broadly european food (no chilli/curry/spicy stuff) and open on a Monday night. (Marco @ Milano was looking good, but they're closed on Mon)
Cheers,
Jon
kitchen, ecclesall road. its excellent
nonnas
nonnas? Brant, I never had your down as a pretentious over perfumed, overly made up 40 something sex and the city divorced woman with fake boobs.
It's rumoured that they also fleeced a ton of suppliers by going bust and reopening. Ethics? Pff.
but they sponsor a roadie team so that's ok.
mediterranean sharrowvale road is good for fish not sure about mondays.
How much you wanna spend?
Restaurant at Beauchief hotel is good but spendy. had delish meal the other saturday but might be a bit much for a week night!
milestone kelham island or the wig and pen they also own
silversmiths?
what pook said re nonnas!
double post fail
i was going to say nonnas,
does some nice food. cant comment on price as my dinner and lunch was payed for (by nonnas)
We aren't paying - my dad is staying with us for a couple of nights and has offered to take us out on Monday night - I don't think my cooking is up to his standards!
Quality is more important than cost...
the cricket inn - dore (really not far from eccy road)
the milestone - kelham island
rafters - fulwood
artisan - crosspool
zeugma - london road, for a very good kebab-on-a-plate
I'd avoid nonnas on both counts then..seriously there are far better restaurants in Sheffield.
try thyme cafe
la Luna
the milestone
cubanas
Quality is more important than cost...

Hi
I went to Silversmiths a wee while ago when back in The Motherland, was blinkin lovely. Excellent food and service, it even satisfied the most traditional (read: none of that foreign muck) of palate!
Yeah, Nonna's is OK but just OK, overpriced and a bit fur-coat and no knickers if you ask me. There's the Milestone which again is excellent.
I was also over at The Cricket Inn too, that was quite reasonable - not excellent but pretty good grub and a decent location too.

I'd add to the pile on to Nonnas. Average, very oper priced and pretentious. Their roadie team seem the same!
I'd second
Thyme Cafe in Broohill
Silversmiths near Halam Uni
Cricket Inn in Totley for good pub food
I've not been to the Milestone but know people that recomend it.
Loads of others but since I'm a lover of spicy they would be no good to you.
Must mention the beauchief again.

Went a couple of saturdays ago.
Really nice food.
Starters a real "wow" (ie we took photos, chavs that we are)
There is a woman in sheffield drives around in a Range Rover with plates MUM1E. On the next table. That sort of posh...
I doubt most top end resturants are open on a monday though, that will be the issue
I'd add to the pile on to Nonnas. Average, very oper priced and pretentious. Their roadie team seem the same!
Average? That's rather generous from what i've witnessed of their riding ability.
The Milestone in Kelham Island is excellent. Artisan in Crosspool is very good as well.
Taste on Ecclesall Rd is chef'd by an Italian who worked at Nonna's but saw them for what they were and went his own way. Its more of a cafe but *did* do Bistro evenings, but I'm going back a few years to when I were a Sheff lad.
I was at Artisan last month and it was lovely. Confit duck leg, om nom nom nom
Morans, next door to the Bike Tree, is excellent.
Another vote for Silversmiths too.
We tend to go for La Terrazza on Sharrowvale Road when we're down in Sheffield. Small, possibly to the point of cramped if it's full, but really excellent food every time I've been in and the staff are about as good as you'll get.
I'll stick my +1 in for the Cricket Inn too, but "really not far from eccy road"? It's miles away!
The Wig and pen, run by the milestone lot is good, its in the city centre
Nonnas, artisan, fish place on sharrowvale road is good. The silversmiths was shiite when I visited. Macdonalds on fargate was ok last time I went.
So we are all agreed (generally) that Nonna's is bobbins?
Good.
Efes on West Street/Glossop Road is really nice - mediterranean/turkish-ish food, not at all posh, but the food is delicious.
My parents took us there about a month ago and they keep saying they'll come over so we can go back - they are not usually *that* enthusiastic so their food must've been good too.
Maranellos on Ecclesall Rd is decent. Rafters at Nethergreen was really good the one time I went.
Another 'meh' for Nonna.
Rafters at Nethergreen was really good the one time I went.
I've always wanted to go there, but it's a bit out of my price range. Is it worth it? Any chance of a bit a review?
+1 re Nonnas it's a ten bob millionaires hang out.
Relish on Ecclesall Road is good, good portions and not too pricey, open 7 days. Nonna's is bobbins.
La Scala by Mill Houses is lovely, good food, nice atmosphere etc,
Otherwise Chez Lalou used to do an amazing steak, but not been in ages
In contrast to above, I went to the Wig and Pen with work and everyone took the piss out of the menu, expensive, odd combinations and tiny portions, we had to order bread and butter and chips to fill up. Carrots with coconut sorbet as a starter?! Check them menu before committing!
Silversmiths was better before the old chef left - he now runs Made By Jonty on Sharrowvale Rd, great daytime caf.
Rafters at Nethergreen was really good the one time I went.I've always wanted to go there, but it's a bit out of my price range. Is it worth it? Any chance of a bit a review?
Well, it was a couple of years ago, it was proper p1ssing down with rain and I can't remember a great deal about it. Which doesn't help much.
What I [i]can[/i] remember is that the food and service were excellent, and that I'd happily go back but haven't had the chance. My parents have been a few times since, and really rate it.
