We’re pleased to let you know that Las Iguanas have now joined the on-line booking network, so you can now book a table on-line at any time that is convenient for you and you will receive instant confirmation of your booking by email.
Las Iguanas is based in Sheffield’s trendy West One complex, near Devonshire Green and is a restaurant with a buzz, offering a wide range of Latin food, with deals to suit most budgets.
If you’ve ever wandered down Sharrow Vale Road, browsing in the range of eclectic shops, the chances are that you’ll have popped into or passed by Cafe Ceres.
Tucked just behind the Hunter’s Bar roundabout, Cafe Ceres has been serving up traditional breakfasts and lunches for many years and now they also have Bistro nights three nights a week. Some of their French bistro classics such as Beef Bourguignon and Tarte à l’oignon are so popular with customers that they have earned a fixed place on the blackboard menu.
With a bring your own policy for wine, Cafe Ceres is a great place to head for a night out without breaking the bank. Bistro nights are Thursday to Saturday, when they open until around 9:30 pm, with the last table booking for 7:30 pm.
We’ve been contacted by the BBC to help seek out the budding restaurateurs in Sheffield.
Raymond Blanc is back and in this time of recession and gloom has an exciting opportunity for all aspiring restaurateurs! The series had huge success last year on BBC 2, when nine couples battled it out over eight weeks to gain the support of Raymond and run their own restaurant. Now, the show is back for a third series and Sheffield is in the frame!
Raymond Blanc will once again be giving couples the opportunity to try their luck as restaurateurs and seeing if they can rise to the challenges he throws at them. With the tough economic climate forcing many high street restaurants out of business, this year’s couples will need to be the best yet.
The BBC want to hear from any couples who think they too could run a restaurant. It doesn’t matter if you are married, friends, siblings, relatives, partners, or colleagues – anyone over the age of 18 can apply. Experience of a restaurant or catering environment isn’t necessary but whether you’re a chef or a cleaner, a waiter or writer, Raymond wants to hear from people who are passionate about food and the dining experience.
If you think you’ve got what it takes, go to www.bbc.co.uk/restaurant for more information, or to request an application form email: therestaurant@bbc.co.uk or call: 03700 104 515 - we’re told that calls to this number cost no more than calls to 01 / 02 geographic numbers, although call charges from mobiles may vary.
The application closing date is 31st March 2009.
Of course, if you are selected, we’d love to hear from you!
We’ve no doubt all been cutting back on life’s little luxuries recently and in a bid to keep personal spending down a bit, many of us are eating out at restaurants less than we did last year.
However, a few Sheffield restaurants have put together special deals to help diners cope with the credit crunch, whilst still having the pleasure of enjoying a meal at their favourite restaurant.
Owners of Sheffield’s top restaurants Artisan and Catch, have reinvented one of their outlets yet again and this latest change should be of particular interest to lovers of fine food who are battling the effects of the credit crunch. Formerly a seafood restaurant, Catch has now become Canteen and it will specialise in offering top quality food at top value prices. With dishes like king prawns with a sweet chilli sauce and braised duck leg with spicy carrot salad, Canteen promises to be a place filled with culinary delights, but to keep prices down, they have done away with fancy frills, choosing to focus just on the food. At present, the menu has standard prices of £10 for two courses and £12 for three courses and children can eat for a fiver.
Following the Gordon Ramsay make over, Silversmiths restaurant have come up with a special ‘Pie Night’ on Tuesday evenings, plus a special set menu deal of three courses for £15, which is available on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and is also an option instead of the a la carte menu on Friday and Saturday evenings.
Meanwhile, the Walnut Club on Ecclesall Road have a new offer that will allow customers to enjoy three course for the price of two from their £15 set menu, an offer which is available daily until the end of March, with the exception of Saturdays after 6pm.
Other Sheffield offers include a 2 for 1 deal at Cafe Guru on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.
