A Modern british brasserie in Sheffield
The Gillson’s Brasserie Approach
What is a Brasserie?
A brasserie is a style of restaurant rooted in tradition, consistency and approachability. Originating in France, brasseries were created as places people could return to regularly - for lunch, dinner or a simple drink without formality or ceremony getting in the way.
Today, a modern British brasserie takes that same philosophy and applies it locally. It’s about familiar dishes, reliable service and an environment that feels comfortable at any time of day. Menus are broad rather than niche, designed to suit different occasions, different appetites and different guests - all under one roof.
At Gillson’s, our brasserie approach means serving food people recognise and trust, delivered with care and consistency, whether you’re joining us for a weekday lunch, an evening meal or Sunday lunch on Ecclesall Road.
Brasserie menus are grounded in classic cooking. Dishes are familiar, well-judged and built around ingredients that speak for themselves. Rather than chasing trends, the focus is on recipes people return for plates that feel dependable, satisfying and well balanced.
At Gillson’s, this approach runs through every menu, from lunch to dinner and Sunday service. Classics lead the way, refined through care rather than complication.
