Reviews in Manchester City Centre

Now that was a fine and very satisfactory luncheon. Beef and Pudding has just opened it's welcoming doors and has it spot on. Plenty of beef as you would expect, with a British heritage rather than an American one which pleased me. I had a excellent beef and venison suet pudding and my wife the Beefham Tower burger which was the best burger we can remember having. Looking forward to working our way through the menu. The Manc Plank and The Manchester Meet will be next on the list, however that will be a dinner date or I would need an afternoon nap with meat sweats!

I booked a table for Saturday 22nd March 10 days in advance. When we arrived at 5.50 pm there was a large number of people - about 15 - all standing waiting to be seated. ABout 10 past six a party who had booked for 5.30 and were still waiting decided to leave. At this stage people who had booked for 5.45pm gave up and left. As we were attending the theatre and time was running short we left at 6.20 still waiting for a table. What a disgraceful state of affairs. We had stood for half an hour and never even got to see our booked table much less have a meal. We then had to go and find somewhere else before our show started in a rush and very disgruntled. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Dined here on the recommendation of Sugarvine. Great meal and great value. Lobster for £17 with refills for my chips and salad!

Great old boozer in the heart of Manchester. Jammed with original features and awesome Guiness!

We were exhibiting at the next stand to Sugarvine at the NRB show and asked for a recommendation for a Chinese in the city centre. We were delighted with the meal. will go again when in Manchester!

Croma has the best pizzas in town and that has been seconded by my daughters!

Lunch was stunning, beautiful place, set menu outstanding value for a celebrity chef restaurant. Although makes up for breakfast at £20 a head. An absolute must for lunch though.

Our party enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Steak and Lobster. An equal amount chose each option and all were very satisfied. I had the steamed lobster and had a free top up of chips and salad. Good choice of wines by the glass and a luscious chocolate cheesecake to follow. Particularly impressed with the coffee choice post meal, I think a colombian, Sri Lankan and Indian. All were distinctly different in aroma and taste. Just £17 a head, bargain.

We were very excited to try Manchester House and it very much lived up to our expectations of it. As the flaship foodie restaurant of Living Ventures, and with the big billing it has had with Aiden Byrne at the cooker, much praise has been heaped upon it. It has been made quite clear a Michelin star for manchester was the aim. The food was really first class and deserving of that accolade. We had frogs legs, snails, venison and hare. The venue's ambience and atmosphere were exactly what we wanted. Great design, plenty of space, cool subdued lighting and a huge open plan kitchen. Great to choose to look into the kitchen or the dining room. Very extensive wine list and the prices were good considering the quality within it. Service was good and I would have been more than satisfied if it wasnt for the fact that Manchester House has pretensions for excellence. Questions of providence, about the wine list and how many chefs there were etc, were met with startled looks. Some waiting staff definitely needed training and we were surprised that this wasn't taken as seriously as the food. Do not let this put you off. We spent £166 for 2 with a good bottle of wine 2 courses and a shared dessert. For the experience we had I see that as very good value and we normally pay a lot less than that for a meal out.

Stunning looking restaurant that now offers afternoon tea. The cloister like seating area to the front of the hotel is the perfect place to have it.

Found this gem by chance and have returned again and again, food is excellent and is always hot and fresh, Staff always friendly and helpful the wines are good and reasonably priced as is the food, booking recommended.

Amazing recently built old style pub in the heart of uber contempory Spinningfields. Great outside space and I must say the best Guiness I can remember having. Didnt eat but will next time.

Looking forward to this place opening later in the year. Their other pubs are spot on and the city centre needs a New Moon Vibe!

The entrance to this restaurant is reminiscent of le Louvre in Paris. Through the glass pyramid you descend to a unique and stylish subterranean bar & restaurant where everything is cream. We enjoyed a drink at the bar before being shown to our table which was at the far end of the restaurant, directly in front of the glass wall which separates the restaurant and the kitchen. It was fantastic watching the food being prepared and a sign of confidence by the management I always think. Our waiter was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the food & more than happy to offer advice or make suggestions. You can choose a selection of smaller dishes or stick to the more traditional starter & main course. If you like fish, this is the place for you however there are plenty of vegetarian and meat options too. The food was amazing - we opted for 8 smaller dishes to share which arrived in a steady flow rather than all at once which suited us. I can't wait to go back - lovely experience.

Great steak and lovely Malbec wine at Alberts tonight!

My partner and I along with a group of family and friends had the pleasure of dining at Al Bacio. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious, truly authentic Italian cuisine. We will definitely be eating here again and would highly recommend that others do too.

I liked the food which is genuine Mediterranean and very delicious. The environment is very cosy and inviting. The wine is quality.

I recently visted Duttons and was pleasantly surprised, the location is great, the decor makes it a very comfortable place to be, the food looked good, although I haven't eaten here yet, I plan too! Great choice for a drink or two in Manchester.
