Firstly, this is a free to enter venue. The botanical gardens are a beautiful piece of serenity within a large city. The gardens are stunning and laid out in a way that enables one to amble around relaxing. There are many varied areas with lots of different themes, all utterly gorgeous. We saw lots of squirrels that are so tame they can be hand fed. We also stopped at the café for a very welcome cup of tea. The gardens are definitely worth a visit.

Great place to visit and free too. We were pleasantly surprised, its really is a hidden gem. The Glass House is full of interesting plants and the gardens are really well maintained. The squirrels were very friendly and entertaining.

The botanical garden is beautiful in autumn, with trees in many shades creating lovely layers of colour. We went in the morning, and the squirrels were very active. Several even came close looking for food, which was really cute.

It is a wonderful garden and I am not just saying that because I live close by and I love Sheffield's parks and gardens in general. It has a great variety of plants and species. Has a great cafe. There are often event run at this site too. There are two plant sales that happen in a year, one in spring and one in autumn.

A great place to get away from it all. Some lovely walks around the gardens, loads of plants and trees (looks lovely). Most plants and trees have labels to help you identify them. There are plenty of seats in all parts of the gardens, some are in lovely quiet places. Spent ages just looking at the plants and listening to the wildlife. There is a cafe and toilets. When I visited the indoor part of the gardens were closed for maintenance. It is free to enter!

Surprisingly nice and well kept gardens even in winter! Great for a stroll through nature and an escape from the city. Keep an eye out for the fat squirrels.

A wonderful place to relax with family and alone. It's a beautiful view of different corners. There are a large number of different varieties of magnolia here, about 30 species, so it is worth returning here at the end of May. There is also an alley with roses, both old and new varieties. There is a greenhouse with a great number of plants, especially cool cacti, aloe which was planted in 2003 and looks like a tree, there are also banana trees. Admission is free here, but you can make a donation online. Also on the territory there are many interesting tablets with the history of the garden, which will be especially relevant for children in the study of biology and nature in general. There's a café and a parking lot.

A wonderful museum detailing the history of steel making and the making of tools and of the cutlery trade in Sheffield. Helpful friendly staff. You can wander at your leisure or have guided tour. No entry charge but donations welcomed. Small car parking further on past the museum entrance. The Museum is a ten minute walk from Shalesmoor blue tram stop.

Nice visit to the museum with the kids, free entrance however donations recommended (cash or card) educational for the kids. They enjoyed looking and learning about the dofferent items on offer. Parking at the back, reasonable prices £1.50 for 2 hours.

A must visit for technology and history buffs when in Sheffield. While the museum is free, donations are welcomed. I spent a good deal of time here just exploring and absorbing the steel industry. Who knew that aside from armoury and steel plating, sheffield was also famous for cutlery and other steel based utensils including pocket knives! Friendly staff just enhanced the whole experience. You also get to see the huge steam engine made for rolling steel and which they turn on allow to run on Thursdays to Sundays. Check the times as I missed seeing it run having visited on Wednesday. Still an amazing site to behold!! Love the visit and I highly recommend it.

This is fantastic if you are an engineer or interested in the history of steel making. Lots of great exhibits the best of which are the large steam engine which you can see running it made me tingle watching it. Also a Crossley engine that turns over showing how these things worked plus plenty more things check out their website. Suggested payment is £5 which is frankly very low for the display on show. You must go

The most spectacular little museum which turns into a tardis inside. This is not just about steel or cutlery but about the growth of a city. Try to visit when the are running the River Don engine it is spectacular.

Took my sister from Sweden, we loved the atmospheric museum. So many interesting facts and exhibits. Check days beforehand to see the steam engine in action,it's not working every day. Sorry we missed it. We enjoyed a great coffee in the cafe afterwards.

We went to the Sheffield beer 🍺 festival and had a great time, as well as looking around the museum. Would recommend both. And even tried deep fried pizza.

Always some interesting temporary exhibitions as well as long term collections. I have been to Feel Good Art Club here which is a lovely relaxed evening. Good spot to spend a bit of time with visiting friends or family.

Close to the Sheffield theatres and accessible from the Sheffield Winter Gardens, the Millenium Gallery is a small but very well curated space with some permanent and some temporary exhibitions all situated to one side of the Gallery. The space also includes a small shopping area with books, prints, jewellery and more for sale. The staff are lovely! Well worth a visit if you are in Sheffield for even a short period.

Millennium Gallery is a small but well curated collection in central Sheffield. We accessed it through the Winter Garden. Entrance is by donation. The gallery is informative and well signed. While our visit wasn’t long (under an hour) it was well worth our time. There is also a lovely gift shop. Exhibits and gift shop both tell some of the history and culture of the city. It was a great stop before seeing a show, as it’s right next to the theatre.

A lively Gallery at the heart of the city, vlose to station and city centre. There's always something going on. Has a cute shop, good cafe and toilet facilities. Events and exhibitions run all year round. Really good and welcoming staff. I had the pleasure of working with them for an art installation for one of their exhibitions and the experience was good.

Free, suggested donation of £5 to help. Ruskin museum (collection) housed, sensory packs to use while walking around.

Entered the Millennium Gallery through the Winter Garden. We managed to view three exhibitions before closing time. My favourite was the Sheffield metal works exhibition. It had a museum feel to it. I’ve attached a few pictures:

Lovely gallery, just thy right size to spend some time without it becoming too much/boring. The building housing the collection looks like it was from the glory days of when councils had money and invested in nice features.

A beautiful tropical garden in the heart of Sheffield. The selection of tropical flowers and plants are housed under the incredible structure above. There is a cafe and a few other vendors inside and it’s well worth visiting.

Lovely wee place to visit. Wonderful architecture. Free entry

It is very warm, tropical, inside so when it is cold outside hide over there ha ha

Peaceful during the day, and looks great when lit up for events.

This place is not only beautiful but it's in my home city with surrounding architectural Marvel's both new and old . Inside transfers you into another time for me. From forna both large and small from local to exotic ., it feels like your back in time and a dinosaur might be around the corner. Peaceful to read a book on your break from office work or studying horticultural wonders . This place for me personally is magical

Super relaxing, I took photos here for a competition to show how civil engineering and nature and preserving ecosystems can go hand in hand, and this was perfect. A very calming environment to be, and a charming place in the city centre.

Beautiful indoor garden that's free to walk around. Quite small, but quiet and peaceful 😊🌴

Beautiful experience & well worth checking out whatever your faith (or none). Very helpful staff who help bring elements to life with their wisdom Lovely cafe with typical Sheffield delights too

A surprising interior with ancient and modern designs. Good cafe with toilets. Side chapel and Crypt worth visiting while there. Right by Supertram stop and short walk from Station via Pond St etc.

Read up about this place wasn't disappointed The smell of candles and church when you enter and all the history. Friendly staff at hand if required. Nice cafe next to church to. We parked in holland street car park. And walked about 8 mins. Anyway back to church the photos don't do it justice.

Historic cathedral in the heart of Sheffield. Welcoming staff and very informative signs make it a trip worth while. The naval flags were a particular highlight personally.

Nice for a walk around, even has a cafe but we didn’t go in this time

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely incredible experience! The Candlelight Concert featuring Hans Zimmer’s music was breathtaking from start to finish. The atmosphere was stunning — hundreds of candles flickering around the musicians made the whole performance feel magical and intimate. Hearing pieces like Time from Inception and Now We Are Free from Gladiator performed live by the string quartet gave me chills. The musicians were so talented, and the venue’s acoustics made every note resonate beautifully. It was relaxing, emotional, and completely immersive — a perfect evening. Highly recommend to any music lover, even if you’re not a classical fan. Fever really knows how to put on something special!

We stopped by to see an Ancestor's tomb, it is such a beautiful cathedral. The Chief Priest welcomed us and was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable ☺️

I had high expectations visiting Bench but felt a bit deflated after the meal. The drinks were great and the staff are lovely! Some of the dishes were excellent whilst others were overpriced or bland. The cured trout dish and the butternut squash dish were the highlights - couldn’t fault them. The fazoletti was quite bland and almost wet. The beef short rib caesar salad was overpriced and not worth the money. It cost £18 for 6 small pieces of beef, some lettuce, slices of pear and parmesan.

Took my friend for her 30th. She had two mocktails which she enjoyed. I was going to order a wine but when I asked the wines on the board by the glass were 125ml measures for £9-11 a small glass. Decided this was crazyyy expensive so got a Spritz for £9 which I enjoyed. The food was good but some flavours overpowering like the spice level with the smokey chipotle with the courgette was overwhelming. I also thought the meat dish was disappointing and the meat was very fatty, we didn't finish it. We had a panacotta for desert, it was nice but not a panacotta. I wanted to love this place and it fell short unfortunately.

I have been very excited to try the food here for a long time. It was all very tasty - we tried most of the menu. There wasn't really a single standout dish though. The staff were generally friendly, but we visited when it was really hot inside and I felt a bit judged when I asked for ice to go with my wine... For the price point and style of restaurant I expected a little bit more.

Second time visiting here for out anniversary. Food was even better than the last time. Service was great as always, thanks to Biba for making the night special, and thanks to Sarah who look after us during the meal. Great selection of wine also. Going to try their bakery before returning again.

The food is very nice. We enjoyed the cod croquettes, mussels with chorizo and the tomato salad. The wines and cocktails were very good. The service was a bit stuffy - clearing plates before we were finished and rushing us out. Felt like we couldn't fully relax. But a nice experience overall, with very good food.

We were a party of 13 and the small Bench team were absolutely primed for us - efficient, friendly, no delays or hiccups. Short but good wine list. Not every item on the menu worked - cod crudo was bland, the roquefort cream with griddled broccoli was overpoweringly rich - but others, such as roasted beetroot with tahini, and a larger plate of chicken with green olives and preserved lemon, were excellent. We spent about £50 per head on food, which is very reasonable.

Nice little pace in nether edge, we were really looking forward to this evening! Booked the reservation online and before we got there we received an email asking if we could change times due to a large table at the same time, fair enough understand. Got there the server asked if had a booking which I said yes gave my name and she just looked confused 🤷🏻‍♂️ Showed us to a table took our coats, gave us menus, explained the menus, then asked us to change tables and apologised with free drinks. We were then just enjoying our drinks after the food and we had a couple at the door looking at us as the server told them they were waiting for us to finish our dessert so they could have our table, the server then came to us and said they needed the table we had 10 mins. We were there under two hours, first time I’ve ever been asked to leave a table while still drinking (I’d have happily sat at a bar but they didn’t have one) Foods ok staff need to communicate more so they know what’s going on.

Visiting the UK from the US for the first time. Landed in Sheffield and there's a reason Ashoka came up highly recommended on the interweb - I've never had Indian food quite like this. It's a combination of authentic, modern, and reminiscent of something my favorite aunties would make on only special occasions - only better. Get the Karamelized Kashmiri, and if you like it spicy, the Taxi Driver Curry. They probably trademarked them for a reason! Staff was amazing, warm, and welcoming. Remembered me and greeted me personally after I returned for a 2nd non-consecutive night - because I just had to make the 1.5 mile trek on foot to eat here again on my 4 night stay. I may just come back for a 3rd go...

WOW!!! Came here for a graduation meal and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was classy yet relaxed. The food! Wowowowowow so good! We had a range of curries between us and would recommend all of them. They also cater for your personal spice tolerance which was great. Also amazing value for money. Loved every bit of this experience wish I wasn’t leaving Sheffield so I could go again ASAP!!

Ashoka was so inviting and had great atmosphere! The booths are a bit small but great for a cozy meal or date night. From the poppadoms and chutneys the meal was off to a stellar start, everything tasted homemade, fresh and flavoursome. The Kashmiri curry and mixed grill were also superb - lovely charcoaled flavour on the grilled meats and a deep complex, umami flavour in the Kashmiri chicken curry. The naan and rice were incredible too, perfectly executed. It felt like a really special meal and not one I’ll forget soon. The service was also great and we received lots of tap water. The beer was one of the best I’ve ever had - it went perfectly with the meal.

A nice little Indian! It was my second time coming tonight. Lovely flavours to the curry and some less traditional curries to choose from. What let it down for me was the level of spice, medium felt like mild and hot felt like medium. Slightly over priced as well but otherwise a decent option for an Indian

Asoka on Ecclesall Road in Sheffield is a true gem and a beloved institution since 1967. My recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. The food was superb! I had a reyt spiceh curreh, which was hot but incredibly tasty. The flavors were perfectly balanced, making it a delightful culinary experience. The pairing of dishes is excellent, with lots of local produce factored into the menu, showcasing the best of what Sheffield has to offer. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, and you can feel the rich history and tradition in every corner. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Asoka to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Indian meal in Sheffield. This place truly stands the test of time!

Exceptional meal, wonderful hospitality and amazing company, really enjoyed chatting to the owner and looking at all his family photos. The food was delicious and staff so very friendly, thoroughly recommended, thank you

Update. Ashoka continues to be our favourite Indian restaurant in Sheffield. This evening we enjoyed great service, freshly cooked super flavoursome food in a really relaxed and friendly environment-Another lovely evening at the Ashoka. Beautifully cooked and presented Indian food, served in a small and lively venue. The lamb chops were the most tender I have ever eaten, and the Taxi driver curry was really rich and tasty. The Nan breads were a perfect accompaniment to mop up the sauce. Also a good selection of beers.

This was a gift and we chose the shorter lunch option as we didn't have experience of tasting menus. The service was very friendly and welcoming, not intimidating at all. All the menu was explained but not in excessive detail. I had the wine pairing which was well worth it with 2 English wines included. I think this was a good value menu for the amount of detail in the cooking and number of courses . The alcohol menu is also extensive and not over priced.

I’ve been coming to Joro for a few years now, but this was my first time at the new venue. The food has always been brilliant, but the composition and pacing of the menu has stepped up even further. Every course earned its place and was an absolute joy!! As ever the service was really friendly and attentive. The drinks pairings are exceptional, we shared both the soft and alcohol pairings and were debating on every course which was best - often it was the soft option which are mostly created in house by their genius sommelier. We also stayed in one of their rooms, which was cosy, comfy and luxurious. The deli style breakfast was delicious, and there is a lovely cafe / bar downstairs to get freshly made coffees. If you love good food this is place is a must for your list!

What an experience! This was by far one of the best places I've had the pleasures of eating at. Everything was perfect. The temperature of the room down to the seating arrangements. The food was out of this world, the depth of flavor and how each course had its own accompanied drink that paired with, choice of alcoholic or non. Meticulous planning went into the most subtle of details to give you the most amazing experience.

Just OUTSTANDING! Thanks to the whole team who created a magnificent experience. Cocktails to start were lovely, not sure I’ve had a better espresso martini! The building, decor, seating plans and kitchen provide such a wonderful atmosphere where you can enjoy the marvels of food preparation in full view. The team that served us were such a good bunch, friendly knowledgeable but most of all very personable to our table. Some time you get service that delivers and then you get a team that add to the evening. The tableware and dinnerware was beautiful and went so well with each course… have a look at Blissmill studios! Each course and wine pairing was just A-game. Not one disappointed or came up short. The chawanmushi was my favourite of the evening but they all built up so well. You deserve accolades for what you’ve created. My partner and I have been very fortunate to dine in some truly amazing places but this morning we struggled to find one that had given us such a brilliantly rounded experience across all areas. Congrats all, lovely to see such a place shine for the right reasons!

Some dining experiences stand out not just for the food, but for the feeling they create — and JÖRO delivered that effortlessly from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the staff set a tone of warmth and professionalism that made us feel immediately welcome. Every interaction felt genuine, attentive, and perfectly timed.

Giles Coren’s recent article bemoaning a torturous train journey back from Sheffield was the spur to book Joro that we shouldn’t have needed. We had visited the previous location a couple of time last year and loved it each time, fabulous food, crackingly imaginative drinks pairings, and an intimacy and warmth from the friendly and relaxed service. And the perfect accommodation just up the road at House of Joro. Following the move to Oughtibridge we had been intending to visit but, hands up, not quite got round to it. So, deducing that Giles Coren had visited the (not so) new location and that a review would soon be published, and on the assumption that another fine review (as it was!) from him would mean bookings were more in demand and perhaps more of a challenge, we booked and got to visit Joro at Oughtibridge a couple of days ago. And what a lovely foodie heaven Stacey and Luke have created, bringing restaurant, bar and rooms all together in a beautifully restored building with the bonus, for us, that it so much easier to get to than having to drive into the centre of Sheffield and contend with rush hour traffic. Pre dinner drinks in the relaxing bar before we were ushered into the restaurant and a superb table facing the open kitchen and pass, allowing us to watch Luke and team in action. And the food was even better than we had remembered. The vegetarian menu and a full tasting menu delighted from the start, with playful canapes (sancho pepper spiced pineapple!) leading in to beautifully presented individual dishes - with particular highlights being the Barra scallop and chalk stream trout from the full menu and the kohlrabi and potato dishes from the vegetarian menu – before a fun set of sweet treats to finish. The drinks pairings, one mixed alcohol and soft, and one alcoholic, matched the food very well and included an interesting mix of sakes and lesser known wines (including Japanese and Moroccan wines). Then a little amble upstairs to our comfortable airy and spacious room. Superb from start to finish and highly recommended. We will be back.

Sunday lunch with family - wide variety of 'snacks' at the start were exciting and each delicious if sometimes a little discordant (which I enjoyed). The roast itself was generous and appropriately decadent. Best carrot I've ever tasted! The vegetarian option felt just as exciting as the meat alternative, which isn't always the case (especially a roast). Slightly awkward start as it was unclear how long we would have to 'wait to be seated', but once we were in, the service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. First class experience.

Had to visit to see all the hype around the place. Whilst I ordered the tagliatelle salsiccia and lasagne della nonna, I found both to be too sweet for my liking. A real shame because I felt with a bit more of a kick and something to cut through the sweetness, they would have been great dishes.

Love love love this amazing Italian restaurant! Service was amazing and the food is incredible. Definitely would recommend also saw lots of vegetarian and gluten free options.

Had a wonderful evening here with family celebrating my wife’s birthday. The food was excellent, delicious & authentic Italian, the place had a really cosy feel to it & the staff were so friendly & helpful. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a bit more of a ‘special’ meal out & will definitely return if we’re back in Sheffield again

On our first visit, we were lucky to arrive early; fortunately, it wasn't full. The service was friendly and fast, the food was good, and the environment was pleasant. Overall, it was a good experience.

Everyone enjoyed all their dishes! The seafood risotto was really nice, just a few undercooked rice grains that slightly bothered me other than that it’s beaut! Goat cheese & fig bruschetta isn’t how i imagined; just underwhelming to look at and tasted ok - sorry .. overall Lovely and welcoming atmosphere!

We felt really welcomed at Nonna's and had a lovely experience. Service was excellent, from staff who made every effort to ensure customer satisfaction. Highlights of the meal, where my wife's roast lamb dish, which was super tender and had great flavour, and the chocolate mousse dessert which was rich, indulgent and smooth. We had cocktails with our meal which were well made and packed a punch too 🤣

Superb Italian restaurant. All the food was great, but the stand out dish was the nduja risotto which had a perfectly mild chilli heat level for me. I will definitely add it my risottos at home!

We came here for dinner on a Saturday night and were blown away by how amazing the staff are. Our ticket got lost on its way to the kitchen meaning we were waiting a long time, but once we raised this to the staff they rushed our order and gave us some drinks on the house which was very generous of them. We had the strawberry and watermelon cocktails and thought they were gorgeous! We ordered chicken tacos, fish tacos, corn ribs and some tortilla chips and dips. Everything was super fresh and delicious- our favourite dish was most definitely the fish tacos. We found this to be enough food between the two of us. This restaurant has a lovely vibe and we are keen to come back a bit later on to enjoy the music.

Highly recommend! Beautiful food and great portions. Lovely margaritas & fab atmosphere. All staff were so kind and friendly - they went above and beyond making the whole experience great. I personally loved the lamb tacos as well as the nachos! Very excited to come again and try more of the menu!

Came here on a Wednesday for 2 for 1 tacos and they did not disappoint! Delicious tacos with plenty of filling, would highly recommend the beef! The cocktails were also amazing (2 for £14)! Staff were really friendly and attentive. This place is a little out of the main area but absolutely worth a visit!

We came on a Thursday and had 2 for 1 tacos! Absolutely perfect! Best tacos in Sheffield and team here is so nice, specially Ethan! Thank you guys!

I’d heard a lot of hype about Piña from friends and online reviews, so I went in with high expectations. Service-wise, I can’t fault it; the front of house team were genuinely lovely, attentive, and welcoming. Drinks were also decent, my mocktail with added spiced rum was tasty, though my friend’s frozen strawberry margarita leaned a bit too sweet. Unfortunately, the food was a huge letdown and probably the worst Mexican-style food I’ve had. We tried three different taco varieties and each fell short. The jerk chicken tacos were easily the worst of the bunch. The chicken came in suspiciously uniform cubes, like frozen, machine-prepped meat. It was excessively dry, not just a little but inedibly so. The mango and chilli salsa had no heat at all, and all the tacos themselves were torn in half, not because they were overfilled or moist. When I raised this with the chef, I was met with a grunt and told “there’s cutlery at the bar, speak to them.” Not exactly the attitude you’d hope for. The beef tacos were completely lacking flavour. The meat tasted plain and unseasoned, and the consommé that accompanied it was equally bland, with none of the depth or richness you’d expect. The lamb tacos were the best of a bad bunch, but still underwhelming. The “minted guac” was barely noticeable, adding neither taste nor texture to the dish. Overall, it felt like style over substance. The front of house team tried their best, but the kitchen let the whole experience down. I left feeling very disappointed given the hype. Maybe it was just a bad day, but if so, it was really bad. As they were fairly busy in the drinks front and the chef seemed genuinely disinterested, it was the first time I didn’t say anything at the time - something I hate…. £63 for the two of us, absolutely not worth it and I feel robbed.

Very good tacos! Worth going when it's 2 for 1 as they're fairly expensive otherwise. Beer is also pretty cheap for the area at £4.25 for the house lager

Very good place for Mexican food, quick service, good menu, very good food, reasonably priced. A new favourite in Kelham Island.
