PhilH Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I'm a person who enjoys good food and my partner and I are trying to rack up a few visits to the exclusive restaurants in the UK. So far this year have been to The Kitchin (Edinburgh, 1 star), Le Gavroche (Mayfair, 2 stars) and Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester (Mayfair, 3 stars)...why do we not have any exquisite fare in Sheffield being such a large city?

PhilH Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 And I'm excluding The Old Vicarage from this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedith Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Take a look around the people who live in this city ... the normal fayre for Sheffielder's has to be Wetherspoons or Crown Carvery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidge00 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Or Cafe Max/Fischers in Bakewell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilH Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I've been to Moran's and I agree, it's a surprise that they aren't more highly acclaimed. It's just a shame that I think Leeds and Manchester have developed far quicker than Sheffield has in a lot of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjenz Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Michelin stars aren't handed out ten-a-penny so it doesn't bother me personally that there are no Michelin star restaurants in Sheffield. That said, it would be refreshing to see more independent, good quality restaurants popping up around the city and in the city centre particularly, because there are far too many generic chain restaurants to be had in the city centre.

PhilH Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I agree with that Jenjenz, I find myself going elsewhere to find independent restaurants. I find York is quite good for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesogt Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 http://www.3starrestaurants.com/michelin-uk-restaurants.asp Knock yourself out someone has compiled a list of them all! Nothing above 1* in any major city outside of London really. I am more surprised to see Manchester doesn't seem to have any, (I am guessing Greater Manchester must)and Leeds has just one? So not very surprising that we have just one too. Fischers is listed as Baslow. P.S. I have worked at Fischers, Hambleton Hall and Gravetye Manor!

brianthedog Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Cooking of the quality you're after is rarely cheap. So with the inverse snobbery in Sheffield the chances of anywhere of that quality and price surviving is slim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
