Reviews in Manchester City Centre

I came across this restaurant purely by chance... what a find! The food was absolutely stunning! It was fairly quiet when we ate (Sunday evening around 9.30pm but there were lots of Italians eating there which I always think is a good sign. The staff were attentive but not so that they were intruding...but the food.... I just can't describe how happy I was...I am quite a fussy eater and I had no complaints hat so ever... the starters of breaded mozzarella were delicious... not greasy or rubbery and my main course was cheese stuffed ravioli with a cream and pesto sauce... it was so tasty! My partner had Calzone which was the biggest I have ever seen and he also said this was delicious... we didn't have much room for dessert but had to try something as we were so impressed so had the five flavours of ice cream... and yes... you guessed it..... deeeeeeelicious! I am in danger of never eating anywhere else when I go to Manchester as I know the food here is amazing. ooooo and the price! starters, mains, one desert, 2 coffees and two beers.... under £40...... I nearly sent them back to double check! Bargain!

Very good restaurant. Id heard good things from work colleagues so thought we'd give it a try. I was thoroughly impressed form the very first second we walked through the door.. staff unlike any Ive seen before - they ACTUALLY do care about the customers. The food is very very good and its a very welcome to Manchester. Congratulations Chaophraya, I think you are the best restaurant in Manchester.

Well yet again this restaurant never fails me, and the manager remembered me, and gave us a fab table, I booked to go at 9.30pm last sat, the food was outstanding, my boyfriend and I had garlic tomato bread to start with a side of olives, which are amazing. then I had the chicken ceasar salad as my main, my boyfriend had the fillet steak, which he described as top nosh!! we had a side order of rosemary potatoes!! 10 out of 10 to all at piccolinos see you in 4 weeks for my next reservation. CHOW!

I was in town on business and stumbled on this place, I ended up going back a different night too as a treat. The food was excellent, very authentic and generous portions and it's very good value for money. The staff where very attentive and friendly and made feel welcome. Would definitely go back.

Went to Evuna early evening with 2 friends and took advantage of their lunch time tapas menu (as it does not finish until 6pm). The food was out of this world, the wine which is at a lower price as part of the lunchtime deal was also really good but it is only the first glass that is at the lower price and this was not made clear on the menu. All of the staff were really friendly and tentative, and the ambience was really chilled out and relaxing. Evuna does appear to be a little more expensive than the other local tapas bars but is well worth the extra money. I would highly recommend Evuna to anybody who would like to try a Spanish restaurant or anybody who is looking for somewhere to eat and drink in Manchester. This was a really good experience and I will be returning shortly.

Ate at Dimitris on a lovely early Friday evening, very busy, one of the few places in Manchester that you can dine outside, nice atmosphere, restaurant is much bigger than i thought. Great variety, nicely presented and very reasonable, casual dining. Nip into the Cask bar just around the corner, for a pre dinner pint. Recommended

A marvellous restaurant on a street full of bars. Genuinely nice staff which makes such a difference, and food which I absolutely devoured.. Starters are very light and the fish main course i has was perfect. I was surprised the bar was so busy on a Thursday but it gave the place a nice atmosphere. I have already booked for our anniversary.

Outstanding restaurant. I went to Chaophraya's bar as part of a Pro Manchester networking event and felt inclined to return for a meal upstairs. Thoroughly wonderful food and service and we went away delighted. I even managed to persuade the owner to purchase one of her cow shaped milk pourers! Wonderful restaurant and one of Manchester's finest

Service was excellent! (Michael & Kimi) - were extremely well looked after. Thanks for a fabulous 21st - will definitely come again!

The food is great, the chic art on the walls and the totally camp style make this a great place to eat - we love it and go often. On a Saturday lunch after shopping try the set menu for £12 each , gorgeous 2 course of the normal menu... We love this place and take all our friends.

Visited Tuesday night, expecting great things after reading the rave reviews on this site. Decor - lovely. Staff - welcoming. Smells- lovely too. Food - 'It was alright' described by my son and I tend to agree. Had similar service and authentic Thai food elsewhere in Manchester.

Fantastic curry house...forget Rusholme, this is the real deal! Ive been eating here regularly for 15 years, I can? fault it

We visited Chaophraya on Sunday evening and have to agree with all previous reviewers and say that everything about this restaurant is outstanding. The service is fantastic - we arrived at 4.30 and were told we could either eat in the bar from the bar menu (which is very nice for a bar menu and you can sit and watch them cooking in the open kitchen and there are some lovely booths to sit in) or we could wait till 5.00 and go in the restaurant. We decided to wait so they brought us some complimentary Thai crackers whilst we waited which helped with the hunger pangs! The building itself is beautiful and the restaurant inside is gorgeous - lots of authentic Thai furnishings and pictures. Also the menu shows some very old pictures of Thailand in the 1800's which was fantastic to see if you have been to Thailand - to see whats different and what hasn't changed. The staff are all very friendly and chatted to us about where we had been in Thailand and where they were from etc. As for the food - well I could have closed my eyes and been back in Thailand - it was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious - I could not fault any of it. This restaurant has everything - looks, ambience, service and stunning food. Also, the price is very reasonable - £45 for a two course meal for two with wine. HIGHLY recommended - can't wait to go back.

We want to express our thanks to the manger at the restaurant who after there was an altercation near our table, gave us a refund on our drinks ,then this week sent us an invitation to dine there again for free. Which we definitely accepting.

Attended a wedding here on 20th April. What an excellent place to host a wedding reception. A really lovely time was had by all. food and the service really good.

Keep up the excellent work! Thank you for a lovely lunch time after time!
