Pan Asian Noodle Chain reaches Sheffield

December 18th, 2007 Cheffy

Wagamama, the Pan Asian noodle restaurant chain will soon be opening an outlet in Sheffield city centre.

I remember trying the food at Wagamama absolutely years ago, when their only UK outlet was in London.  At the time, it was very cutting edge and the experience of joining other diners at long shared tables to slurp a bowl of noodles was quite a dining adventure.  The meal though was delicious, so providing they are all still working to the same food standards, we hope it will be good for Sheffield, even though Wagamama is now an 80 strong international chain restaurant.

The actual opening date hasn’t yet been fixed, but it is anticipated that it will be in late April 2008.

Cubana restaurant are celebrating their 7th birthday this year and to make for an even bigger celebration, they have also scooped the 2007 Exposed Magazine Reader’s Award for ‘Best Restaurant’.  They are quite naturally chuffed about this and would like to thank everyone who voted for them.

 If you fancy trying them yourself, check out their funky New Year’s party this year, with Latin music and a very tempting set tapas menu. 

New style news at Sheffschefs

December 6th, 2007 Cheffy

We’ve been working hard over the past few weeks and we’re pleased to be officially launching our new blog style news page this month.  This means that the news will now be searchable for users, to let you search old posts and find snippets about specific restaurants.  From now on, we’ll be adding short news items as we get them, rather than doing a monthly round up.

Whilst we been busily working away, a few things have changed out and about amongst Sheffield restaurants.  One of the most exciting for us is that popular Spanish restaurant La Vina is now part of our on-line booking network, so you can make your table reservation at any time that suits you.  It’s free, easy and very fast to use the on-line booking system. See  our restuarant bookings page for the current range of local restaurants on the network, plus a further 2,000 restaurants across the UK that can also be booked on-line.  Alternatively, you can go directly to bookings at La Vina on Ecclessall Road using the La Vina booking link.

We were sad to see the closure of boho restaurant a few weeks ago and wonder what might come in to replace this top notch city centre venue.  Like everything else in life though, as one restaurant closes its doors, another one opens for business and the Walnut Club Champagne Bar and Grill opened at the beginning of December on Ecclessall Road.  Also new to Sheffield’s famous road of restaurants is mishmash, which is described by the owners as a comfortable and down to earth cafe-restaurant.  Their food is apparently sourced almost exclusively from the Sharrow Vale area of Sheffield.

There was great excitement at Nonna’s restaurant today, as 60′s celebrity singer Lulu popped in for lunch.  Apparently she described her chicken as ‘the best chicken I have ever had’ so it was a feather in the cap of head chef Jamie Taylor.
