Cafe Galeria at Snig Hill Gallery

26 June 2012

Snig Hill Gallery provides a commercial platform for artists who work in all media.

Snig Hill Gallery also encompasses the Café Galeria Arts Café where you can enjoy a tasty selection of freshly made food on the premises every day.

Thanks to yet another brilliant Twitter tip, I nipped up the road the other day to check out Café Galeria in the new Snig Hill Gallery (twitter: @SnigHillGallery), one of a growing number of independent art spaces in and around Sheffield city centre for well known and up and coming artists. Café Galeria is fairly central to the whole Snig Hill Gallery experience, a beautiful combination of art and food that I can see is going to be a favourite Saturday afternoon activity for many months.

Walking into the gallery you’re immediately in the café which comprises sturdy wooden tables, mismatched chairs and church pews. The room is flooded with light and the plain white walls are hung with a variety of colourful artworks which gives you plenty to look at as you enjoy your food.

This is moist and delicious with loads of banana flavour!

Now on to the food!…
Well I was tempted by the tabletop chalkboards advertising banana bread at £1.40 a slice and as it was lunch time I also ordered coffee and a mozzarella, sun dried tomato and rocket ciabatta. The tweet I mentioned earlier said that Café Galeria was their new favourite lunch time haunt, and after eating there myself, I can totally see why! The sandwich was delicious – light, airy bread with soft mozzarella and tangy sun dried tomatoes – while the banana bread was every bit as moist and banana-y as a really good banana bread should be. The price was a selling point too with orange juice, coffee, sandwich and cake costing a very reasonable £7.

Along with a few sandwiches and plenty of cake options, the café also has daily specials including risotto, pasta, fish and salad. When I visited the spaghetti carbonara had sold out so the café must be proving a hit with local workers.

Café Galeria is open Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm and Saturdays 9am-4pm.
