The Moor Market is a brilliant place for the essentials on your shopping list, but there are a range of wonderful specialist delis and artisan cuisines within the market that you might not have had chance to try yet. From rare cheeses to handmade Portuguese tarts, we’ve compiled our top picks to expand your palate and try something new!
Mr Gao’s Hand Made Baking
This family-owned bakery pride themselves in offering an alternative to your usual super-sweet desserts by making brilliant light and tasty treats with minimal sweetness. They stock a variety of goodies like milk pudding, fresh cream cakes, their famous crepe cakes (the caramel crepes are to die for) and a variety of other indulgent snacks.
Green Leaves
There aren’t many places in the city that offer such a variety of Greek cuisines as Green Leaves. This extremely popular stall, started by owner Hossein seven years ago, gives the people of Sheffield a brilliant opportunity to try out something new. Their customer favourites include feta cheese marinated with chilli and garlic-infused oil, a small sample from the huge array of stuffed and pitted olives they have on offer.
