Reviews in Manchester City Centre

I've been to quite a few restaurants that say they serve Spanish food, only to find an English owner/chef that likes to holiday on the Costa del sol 2 weeks a year and whose food is a poor copy of Spanish Tapas, El Rincon is the real thing, fantastic food professional staff and reasonable prices. The only other restaurant I'd recommend is casa las tapas, retiro st, Oldham

Very good Loved it alot every one should eat there the waiter were very nice

What has happened to Piccadilly gardens. Visited this once dangerous location of Manchester to find it completely transformed. What is more Barburrito (under the big red building) is a brilliant restaurant. Great, fresh Mexican food for under £5, terrific service and a pleasant enough environment. I would recommend the corn tacos with grilled steak!! What is more two shops up from Barburrito is a place called Manna. Dropped off my mother in law there, who fitted in nicely with that crowd!

Visited the English Lounge after some recommendation from friends, it was a Friday Night, prior to a visit to the local pictures, decided to first read other customers feed-back, after hearing about some good reviews about it on Sugarvine. Was not disappointed had an excellent evening. Was greeted by very friendly waitresses and shown to our seat which was just by the stairs, had a great view out to passing trams. Was spoilt for choice when we saw the menu. After recommendation from the waitress went for the Chicken and Pasta, due to the fact that I knew I would want dips and sweets at cinema. All meals were very tasty and well presented. Sadly had no room left for desserts but looked very good. Will definitely visit again / shame as the film was a total let-down.

Went last night for a meal for my Birthday. I had the rare beef and horseradish salad for starter. The missus had roasted courgettes. Both were superb. Main courses were the Battered Cod and Duck Breast. If only chip shops could serve cod like that I would never need to go to a restaurant again. The overall experience was top-drawer. Well worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic. I love picollinos and always though restaurant wouldn't live up to its sister restaurant- I was very wrong as its actually much better! x X x

One word...WOW the best chicken Caesar salad, rosemary potatoes and mushroom risotto I have ever tasted, booked in for 30/09/06 cant wait, go on a regular basis and are always looked after by the manager. Try a glass of Bellini!!! Best Italian restaurant in Manchester.

Lovely British food and really outstanding surroundings. The building is beautiful. Check out the very reasonable wine list with some great choices.

I go to El Rincon on a regular basis, and have to say that this is the best Spanish Tapas I have tasted outside Spain, does remind me of those wonderful days in Spain last year, there gambas pil pil is the best, do try the chicken in paprika sauce of the specials menu...divine!!!! Make sure you visit you wont be disappointed!!!

We first went to El Rincon for my birthday, it was just the two of us and as they don't take reservations for two we decided to wait at the bar with a drink. There were many people waiting up to an hour and it was worth it!!!! The atmosphere, smell and music really tickles all your senses and its topped off with very friendly service and amazing food. El Rincon is like a hidden gem in the streets behind Deansgate...The little Spain of Manchester!!!!

This has to be the best restaurant in Manchester - great food, service and atmosphere. Time for everybody to head towards the southern end of Deansgate for a great night out.

Was here saturday and as usual everything was great. This is the sort of place to come with friends and have a bite to eat and a few drinks rather than a romantic night for 2. The Jazz singer is brilliant and and likes to have a bit of banter with the customers, the food is good and the service is both quick and friendly.

This is by far one of the greatest if not the best Indians in Manchester. The service was fantastic, the food was spot on and the atmosphere was great.

Visited recently on a Sunday evening, first visit and wont be the last. Food was superb, hot and plentiful. Staff were actually Turkish which was nice.

This was my first visit and i went along with my wife and 12yr old son. We ordered numerous Tapas and when they arrived we were not disappointed. We were all stuffed by the end of our meal. La Tasca eat you heart out.

Living away from your home country is difficult. But I can certainly say that Dimitris is a very authentic Greek restaurants. I have visited all Greek restaurants in Manchester and Dimitris has come to be my favourite one. I always come back for more. The food is excellent and the atmosphere too. Highly recommended!

Don't usually frequent buffet restaurants but has to be said they offer the best chicken wings in the world, much better than KFC. An ice cream bar and toffee apples for dessert, amazing selection and yummy desserts.

Visited 02.09.06 and was not disappointed. The steaks were outstanding and the recommended wine was delicious. The only criticism was that we were told it was now no-smoking but when the couple at the next table asked if they could smoke, they were permitted, so we were choking on cigar smoke throughout the meal!!
