Ready for Restaurant Week 2026
Prepare to feast your way around the global flavours of Sheffield city centre, as Dine Sheffield returns for two weeks in October.
The scheme - inspired by New York’s Restaurant Week - gives diners the chance to try new venues and dishes from just £5 between Monday 12 October and Sunday 25 October 2026.
It boosts the hospitality industry, gives food-lovers great value, and spreads the appreciation for Sheffield city centre’s food scene.
More than 30 restaurants, cafes, bars and food traders are participating this year, from curry houses to Filipino-style diners and beyond.
We caught up with the teams working behind the scenes at OMOMO, HYGGE and Birdhouse Tea Bar & Kitchen to see what they have in store.
OMOMO Korean Street Food
📍 Division Street
One of Sheffield city centre’s newer restaurants, OMOMO, has wasted no time getting involved in Dine Sheffield.
The Korean street food and bubble tea specialist opened in February, and has had a warm reception from local diners.
Mark Coaker, operations manager for OMOMO, said: “By taking part in Dine Sheffield, we want to showcase what we can offer and give people an authentic experience in terms of Korean food.
“Our menu is designed to be smaller plates so people can try the variety on offer.
“We’ve had some good trade and we’ve had great feedback in house as well as from online reviews.”
OMOMO offers dishes inspired by the streets of Seoul, from kimchi pancakes and spicy noodles to Korean corn dogs or Army stew fondue, a fiery leftovers-inspired broth.
There’s a dedicated gluten free menu, but only one winner when it comes to the most popular dish.
“It has to be the Korean fried chicken”, admits Mark, It’s fantastic and it flies out.
"I think Dine Sheffield is great. I previously lived in York and they’ve had a restaurant week for 10 years. It's a great way for people to try new restaurants at a discount price and get out of their comfort zone.
“At OMOMO there’s a fun, happy environment, we’ve got exceptional service and offer a real taste of Korea in street food style. We also use high quality Korean ingredients that we import to ensure authenticity of flavour.”
For Dine Sheffield, OMOMO has a customisable meal deal.
For £10 between 12pm and 5pm, diners can build their own dish, starting with bases such as a Korean spice bag or a bibimbap bowl and adding their choice of topping.
HYGGE
📍 Eyre Street 📍 Fitzalan Square 📍 Pounds Park
A double brunch date at one of Sheffield’s coolest independent cafes - for just £20.
That’s what’s on offer at HYGGE, the family-run, Scandinavian-inspired brand which now has a trio of venues around the city centre.
Jessica Bell, co-owner with husband Alex Moore, said: “This will be the first time we are participating in Dine Sheffield and we are really looking forward to it.
“It's a great opportunity for people to share a HYGGE moment together without breaking the bank, as well as introducing people to the cafe that they haven't been to before.
“We are offering two brunch dishes and two coffees for £20.”
The HYGGE family now includes the original site, with hanging chairs and cosy nooks to work or study in, at Fitzalan Square.
Plus there’s the newest, open-plan sister site overlooking Pounds Park, and the smallest location on Eyre Street, popular with co-workers and shoppers alike.
All serve proper coffee, top quality food and mouthwatering pastries.
Jessica added: “When we first started HYGGE, we had a pretty simple idea in mind. We wanted to create a spacious coffee shop that felt genuinely warm and welcoming, with really good food and drink at its heart.
“A place where you can order a triple shot decaf skinny hazelnut latte without any judgement. Where you can sit for hours without feeling like you need to order something else.
“Somewhere you can kick back, relax, maybe even put your feet up, and feel completely at home. Most importantly, a place where everyone feels welcome, safe, and cosy.
“As we explored what that feeling really meant, we came across the Danish way of living, and instantly fell in love with it. There’s a word the Danes use: hygge. It’s about warmth, comfort, togetherness, and creating moments that just feel good.
“We’re not a Danish business, just inspired by it. But we’ve tried to bring a little bit of that feeling into everything we do.”
Birdhouse Tea Bar & Kitchen
📍 Sidney Street
It’s fair to say that the hospitality industry has faced challenging times in recent years.
Soaring costs, shifting demands and policy burdens all play a part, so initiatives like Dine Sheffield are a small way of bringing in new business.
“We do hope this gets more people through the doors, especially midweek”, said Rebecca English, owner of Birdhouse Tea Company.
“Because we are a little bit off the beaten track, anything that gets people to explore a tiny bit further is very helpful. It’s also nice to put the challenge of creating deals to the team and see what they come up with.”
Birdhouse opened in 2018 and, as you’d expect, specialises in tea, producing its own inventive and delicious loose leaf delicacies. The tea bar and kitchen is also a hidden gem, tucked away in a stunning courtyard setting as part of the industrial quarter.
The team has put together three deals for Dine Sheffield.
They include any matcha drink, including foams, syrups and garnishes, for £5.
On weekday mornings their signature themed pancake stacks (think Nutella or Biscoff) ordered before 10.30am will also cost only £10.
And a special £15 sharing flight of three teas and three cookies to share is also available, with a vegan option.
Rebecca added: “We are in a very serene space which has a different vibe, a lot of people who come say it is like visiting a suburban area rather than a city centre.
“People like the fact that we are a family business, and from a building perspective what we have created is very special. People can come here to forget the world for a few hours while they catch up with friends.
“We’re quite proud of that.”
