Iberico is a small, authentic Spanish tapas restaurant hidden away in Dyson Place (just off Sharrow Vale Road in the Ecclesall Road area of town). It has replaced the small plates restaurant Tonco, which sadly closed down in 2024. Iberico’s focus is on high quality, home-made food, using imported Spanish ingredients for authenticity. When we … Continue reading
Paradiso Artisan Tiramisu
Gluten free tiramisu is an extremely rare occurrence, so I was fascinated to try the offering from Paradiso Artisan Tiramisu on Sharrow Vale Road. This business has grown from being a conession in Krynkl, the shipping container development, to having their own premises. Tiramisu is one of my absolute favourite desserts. I used to work … Continue reading
Return to Pho
Pho is, without doubt, one of my favourite places to eat in Sheffield – I love the fresh, Vietnamese flavours and the fact that the vast majority of the menu is gluten free, with accreditation from Coeliac UK. I’ve already reviewed it, of course, but I’m unashamedly writing again because I was invited for a … Continue reading

Firstly, changing your diet is a massive shock and getting used to it can have ups and downs, and at times be … Continue reading
Cosy Chameleon
Cosy Chameleon is a cafe and gift shop on Abbeydale Road South in a small run of shops near the Tesco Express. (It replaced Seasons in summer 2024.) It’s a cafe with a difference – offering reptile encounters as well as food and drink. Not at the same time though – there are no animals … Continue reading
Gills & Co
We had a lovely time with some friends at Gills & Co on Ecclesall Road recently. It’s a wine bar and we’d been trying to book on to one of their tastings, but as we couldn’t make the dates work, we just booked a table one evening instead, for some wine and food of our … Continue reading
Cosy Club
I have eaten at Cosy Club in other cities so I was really pleased to hear one has opened up in Sheffield. They cater really well for allergens and vegans, so I’ve ended up there on work awaydays a couple of times. Plus, I really like their decor that strikes a balance between opulent and … Continue reading
