Reviews in Manchester

Went in for dinner having booked on line. What a fantastic place! The ambience was so comfy and welcoming and the food was excellent. Short and interesting menu that was super tasty. The Slovakian lady manager was extremely helpful and generally lovely Recommend highly if want a casual place that is quirky, warm with great food. As it is open all day and with the second hand bookshop you could easily lose a wet afternoon over a pot of tea and good book

Lovely food and great service, reasonable prices, would recommend

Excellent food and service A small problem, a side order of potatoes was served cold but when this was brought to the attention of our waiter he resolved the issue Another thing, we were offered an Italian liquor, I thought it was complimentary, it wasn’t My fault

Our restaurant of choice whether it's a meal for two or a family celebration. Service and food are faultless.

We have recently moved to Manchester and The Art of Tea was one of the reasons we felt comfortable choosing Didsbury as a place to settle. We visited on several occasions for coffee and sometimes brunch when house hunting and loved it’s charm and individuality. We then learned about their music nights and decided to book a table for the next one. What a joy! We knew the service would be up to it’s usual high standard (even more attentive actually given the reduced numbers) but beyond that we didn’t really know what to expect. Could it really morph successfully into an evening dining venue and what standard would the musicians be? Well, the answer to the first question was a resounding yes! The chilled evening vibe was delightful and the food utterly delicious! And as for the music - we were so impressed - 5 different musicians were presented to us by a compere who confidently complemented their professionalism. I write this partly with alacrity and partly with reluctance - it’s not a big place and I want to always be able to get a table!

Always really good food and service here xxx

I visited The Drop last night for my birthday meal but this time with more family members. The waitress Isabella was a star, very sweet, polite and couldn’t do enough for us. My mum is very hard to please when it comes to Jamaican food but she was impressed with her choice of meal. Atmosphere chilled and vibie. Once again very happy with my visit. It is a n all rounder 10/10 from all of us Thank you to Isabella and team for making my day special.

We were made very welcome, it was my mum's 87th birthday and everything was perfect. Food was great. Really enjoyable evening.

Fantastic meal all round. Lovely friendly staff. Hopefully will be back next time we are in Manchester. Many thanks to all the staff for making the evening great.

Another lovely brunch at Art of Tea. Great food, friendly service and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely one of my favourite places in Didsbury.
