Had the vegetarian 8 course tasting menu and soft drink pairing. Food was amazing (especially the Jerusalem artichoke) and the soft drinks made by the house were well matched and full of flavours. Great value and great flavours

We spent our Valentine's treat at the chef's table at Jöro, which offered an exquisite dining experience that seamlessly blends flavours from Asia, South America, and China. The 10-course menu is a culinary journey that showcases the creativity and skill of the chefs. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to highlight the unique qualities of the ingredients while harmoniously integrating global influences. We started with Japanese milk bread, and a procession of beautiful and tasty dishes followed, including sea trout, baked haddock, octopus, pork belly, scallops, hoggert, finishing with Yorkshire rhubarb. Along with impeccable service and a commitment to quality, it's an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Joro are undoubtedly deserving of at least one Michlin star. The foods are superb, well-thought-out dishes, with quality ingredients and wonderful flavours. The staff are very knowledgeable about the dishes and ingredients; the atmosphere and surroundings are top class. Already planning our next visit! Highly recommend, especially the kitchen bench experience.

We had reason to visit Matlock, and having read Giles Coren's review of Joro, we decided to make an overnight trip and have dinner here. It absolutely lived up to our expectations - the depth of flavours delivered was exceptional. We upgraded to the 10 course tasting with wine pairing and revelled in reliving each course with our night cap whisky. If you love your food and are happy to take the wine pairing recommendations which were unusual but perfect, you're in for a treat. The only reason I gave 4* for atmosphere was the music they played wasn't, in our opinion a great match for the food. We have a very contemporary Indie oriented taste in music, but there was just too much rap for our liking. I respect this is part of their style, but, for us, took the edge off the evening a little. But please don't let this put you off - the food is amazing, the staff charming and the wine adventurous - but forewarned is forearmed! We will definitely be back - and next time might simply make dinner at Joro our excuse to drive 3.5 hours from Epsom to Sheffield! Oh, and stay at House Of Joro if you can - loved the informality of the place - great to be able to sit and enjoy a book, or use the laptop in the cool communal living area. Continental breakfast was delicious - granola, yoghurt, smoked fish, banana muffin, treacle soda bread, Serrano ham and as much coffee or tea as your heart desires.

Exceptional, truly a great experience start to finish. Thanks to all the staff, attention to detail is fantastic, never an empty water glass, and even went to the effort to wait to serve food till my partner was back at the table. Everything is so effortlessly themselves, a unique dining experience and something I recommend to anyone. Food is outstanding, and the balance of dishes is excellent, everything has its reason, and should not go unnoticed.

This was THE best dining experience I’ve ever had! Before tonight the best meal I ever had was a Filet Mignon in 2010. Almost 14 years later it’s been knocked off the top spot by 3 of the dishes on the 8 course tasting menu. The atmosphere was amazing, the calm, quiet, and chilled vibe was on point. Being in the restaurant completely removed me from Sheffield. Didn’t feel like I was in Kansas anymore! The staff were so attentive but not close to annoying or intrusive. 100% coming for more. 10 course next time. So satisfying, so happy.

A rare roasted saddle of local hogget, juicy as hell, and a little grilled kofte popping with high kebab flavours, a prickly jam of Cambodian peppers and tapenade, a wild garlic raita and a dense potato cake spread with lamb fat. Just the right amount of meat for me (in my youth, I might have clamoured for the rest of the sheep) and crying out for a well-aged pinot noir.

Lunch. Sheffield finest restaurant. Located in a shipping container on the Sheffield bypass with sleek, Scandi decor.Plus a favourite of ours an open kitchen. They serve a 5 course £45,8 course £75.A 10 Course Tasting Menu £95 which we chose. For their second lunchtime sitting. This is a very relaxed informal dining experience. With a fast-paced,slick service. To get you started, there's a snack Croustade,Hafod cheddar- alliums With Japanese milkbread Roasted garlic & miso butter Then comes the first of 10 courses. A mixture of dishes with fermented,cured fish, vegetables and meat dishes. Each one bursting with flavours and beautiful presentations. We won't list all the different courses as you can see them in the pics.The outstanding dish for us was the lberico pork,'Imperial Kaigun Karē. Quite possibly the best pork dish we have ever had the pleasure of eating. Fine dining in a unique location. If you're not used to dining this way, their 5-course menu is very reasonably priced for newbies. Although they are listed in @michelinguide and we don't say this often,they deserve to be awarded the very elusive star to go with all their other awards.
