With unspoiled views of Sheffield’s architecturally beautiful Winter Gardens, The Yard Restaurant at The Mercure St Paul’s Hotel and Spa in the city centre is a stylish oasis of luxurious dining. Thanks to the dramatic high ceilings and warm, neutral decor, the dining area is spacious and tranquil with a pleasant, relaxing ambience to match. Executive chef Frédéric Martin has compiled a mouth-watering menu of contemporary British dishes to tempt all palates, with favourites such as gourmet steak burgers alongside classics like chicken supreme. Each course is exquisitely presented and served by the discreet but friendly staff – from the delightful tang of a whipped goat’s cheese starter, to the citrus bursts of salmon with crushed crab potatoes. Don’t miss the hotel’s chic Champagne bar – it’s the perfect place to enjoy post-dinner drinks.
