Welcome a new dining project at Steelyard Kelham that offers a unique Intimate Dining experience including Breakfast & Lunch, Evening Tasting Menus, Wine Pairings & Sake offerings. Brought together by renowned Sheffield chefs and their take on a fusion of Asian and Nordic flavours and themes. AD|INVITE
We were kindly invited to Restaurant Norse, a cosy but exquisite restaurant to try their first ever tasting menu (May- therefore the available menu will be different to the below). Restaurant Norse’s Tasting Menus will be 4/7 courses that the restaurant will look to change periodically, but always offer freshly prepared and delicious, quality ingredients to food lovers in the City. Expect intricately plated up, aesthetic food with popping tastes and fresh ingredients, served to you on handmade kitchenware. Just magnificent.
We sat at the Chef’s Counter and enjoyed;
- Sourdough (from @crumb.sheffield), Hendo’s butter & crispy chicken skin – so many textures here and the subtle flavours made a good start to the meal.
- Beef Tartare, cheddar custard, pickled shallot, crispy onion, tobasco & caper jam, cheese crisp & sesame – Wow. We were a little nervous to try beef tartare but this was so scrumptious, it had a delightful acidic/tangy taste to it getting your tastebuds buzzing. An excellent dish.
- Lamb (Hogget) breast “kebab”, red cabbage kimchi, crispy onion, tahini, truffle – SO SO good. The Hogget, which I’d never had before, is slow-cooked in a water bath overnight and gives the most amazing texture. Blue cheese goes so well with this dish. An amazing course.
- 70% @bullionchocolate mousse, coconut flapjack, passionfruit, chilli & lemon verbena – A perfect end to a perfect meal. Rich chocolate takes the edge off the spice from the chilli syrup but in return the chilli takes away the sickliness of the rich chocolate.
We had some great wine paired with meal too, the Shiraz going superbly with the dessert. Wines: Funk Riesling , Pablo Old vine, Sand boy & Growers touch.
The restaurant also supports local independents that create their crockery and more, as well as having their own gin.
Wishing Project Norse every bit of luck in the Kelham Island area, I’m excited to see what they bring to us next! Check out their website here.
I hope that my review has inspired you to give this venue a try. If you have anywhere you recommend I should eat at, please leave a comment below. If you are a restaurant/food vendor and would like to collaborate with me in any way, please just email me at jensfoodblog@gmail.com!
