Top Dating Spots in Sheffield

Love is in the air... everywhere you look around...and Sheffield has the perfect spots for that great 1st, 2nd or 50th date! So set the date and take that lucky someone to one (or all) of these places listed below!

La Luna

Located on Ecclesall Road, La Luna is the perfect dating spot for a romantic ambience. It is a cosy, traditional Italian, which is extremely authentic. Usually all the wait staff are Italian and can advise (translate) you the best dish to get according to your taste. The food is extremely delicious and there is a varied menu to suit anyone. One of the best features of this amazing restaurant is that you can bring your own drinks. This will score you extra brownie points if you can find out your date's favourite bottle and bring it along to the date!

The restaurant offers extremely competitive prices! It is a perfect quiet spot where you can really get to chat to each other and enjoy each other's company alongside a traditional Italian meal of and your chosen wine or beer. As a recommendation, I would suggest the Linguini Pescatore, which is pasta with a selection of seafood. As the restaurant is reasonably small and extremely popular it is essential to book in advance.

Price: £40 for two people, including a starter/dessert and a main course each.

Location: 961 Ecclesall Rd, Sheffield S11 8TN.

Botanical Gardens For A Summer Picnic

The botanical gardens in Sheffield are beautiful gardens filled with plants, trees, wildlife and even an old bear-fighting pit! There are plenty of talking points throughout the garden to fill those awkward first date silences! During the summertime, the botanical gardens is the perfect spot for a picnic. Grab a picnic blanket and get creative with your picnic ideas! Either make stuff at home or stop by your local delicatessen and pick up some deli-treats for the picnic. Jazz it up by adding that touch of luxury with a bottle of something fizzy. Being surrounded by nature, sun and hopefully your perfect date will make for a truly memorable experience.

Price: Entry to the botanical gardens is free! In terms of food, you can make it at home or as a recommendation, first head to the Greedy Greek at Hunters Bar (10 mins walk from the Botanical Gardens). Here you can take away loads of delicious deli treats including olives, hummus, lamb kofta or chicken wraps, pittas, stuffed vines leaves and much more! All together you are looking at spending around £20 for a great picnic for 2!
