Litotes Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Tler, I love the way you use "Fact". Reminds me of all that pseudo-scientific adverts on TV. "Blah blah blah is best for this - FACT" normally with a stamping sound. When it comes to rating restaurants, so many things come into play... what one person likes, another may dislike. It may have been the chef's night off and the under chef is cooking, or you may have got the first/last of a batch so it may be better or worse than the rest. I would have preferred it if you had said... "Blah, blah, blah - in my opinion" Keep tucking the napkin in... Litotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashyBook Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Originally posted by TylerDuerden The best restaurants in Sheffield are Blue Room in Woodseats and Regents Terrace, on Regents Terrace (just off West Street). Fact. I've never been to the Blue Room, so can't comment. But I've been to Regents Terrace at least half a dozen times, and each time the food has been wonderful. I'd definitely recommend it.

TylerDuerden Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Litotes, the 'Fact' did indeed come with a massive, stamped seal of approval. After visiting both on many occassions (as well as a great deal of others in-between) they have never disappointed. Both take a great deal of care and attention to ensure that they are presented to a very high standard, the food is always of the highest quality and with refreshing options (try the Yorkshire Fishcakes on a bed of Pea-Puree at the Blue Room - always a winner), and the staff care about what they are doing. And I'll tell you what else, take that 'special someone' to either, and they won't be let down. Fact. But of course that is all in my opinion ;-) I should add that there is a huge amount of other quality places to go for other tastes. Canton Orchard (Ranmoor) for Chinese, Jaflong (Crookes) or Vijays (near Empire Bar) for Indian, Cubana's (Trippet Lane) or Spinrocs (Crookes) for Tapas. Which are all fantastic, but I stand by my original choices as the best, as they are just a little bit special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ousetunes Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Do you remember when Blue Room was Medios? It was possibly Sheffield's first upmarket restaurant (okay, that might be over-egging the pudding) but when it first opened it was THE place to go. They used to take your car away for parking upon your arrival. The result being that your Mercs and Rollies would be parked toward the entrance of the restaurant and your Sunbeams and Escorts and any old rust-bucket would be parked way out of sight! It was a good place in its day. I had my 20th bd there in 1989. They did great sweets, ice creams with sparklers and all that. And the Stella was mighty fine too. I was sad to see it go.

angel_b Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Originally posted by missnorks If you fancy a trip out and like indian then try the Aagrah restaurant in Woodlands, Doncaster- it's the only real indian around. (Don't forget your passport though, it's across the border!) I used to live in Woodlands and can definitely vouch for the quality of this restaurant. Excellent, authentic food and reasonably priced. It never fails to amaze me how big it is inside when it doesn't look much bigger than a portakabin on the outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Aagrah restaurants (there are 10 of them now) are, IMO, the best Indian cusine available in the UK. Massive choice, relaxed atmosphere - just yum yum yum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Originally posted by missnorks La vida loca in hillsborough (dodgy name but good food) is really nice and dead reasonable price wise, think owner used to co own flying pizza on west st. I can personally vouch for this restaurant! It has a really cosy feel, and the staff are very friendly. The food is excellent, and they go out of their way to accommodate special diets etc. The one thing I think they could improve on is the plastic tablecloths though!

Fact. Just like to confirm this fact... Antibos is also pretty good (don't go when its sunny, as the massive glass wall will blind half of the table) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K x Always rated formally flying pizza but went there about 3 months back and the service was shocking, with the food not much better. Wasn't as if it was busy either.
