Reviews in Manchester City Centre

One of the best places in Manchester for lunch and breakfast. Logical prices, excellent food and outstanding quality, just like you are in Greece. The decor could be more sophisticated if they really want to add that extra Mediterranean charm!

I visited stock on one of the jazz night on Friday after being recommended by a friend. I must say this was the best dining experience I have ever had. The staff were very warm welcoming. Their interesting style of describing specials of the day and waiters knowledge about the food and wine was impressive. I must say they know how to make someone? special day very special.

Had the most marvellous meal here at the start of April. The food was the best I have ever tasted (we had the Armenian Banquet) and was very reasonably priced to boot, as was the Turkish wine which we enjoyed. The owner and his Wife were the perfect hosts and could not have done more for us. The surroundings were comfortable and interesting! You cannot miss out on this place - try for yourself - we will be going back very soon

Stumbled on Barburrito by accident, as I was cutting through the gardens. Drawn to it by the queues which stretched out of the doors (admittedly it was Friday lunchtime) but an unusual site nonetheless, I am not a huge fan of the Mexican fare usually served up in this country - but I have to say Barburrito seem to have got most things right. My chicken burrito, stuffed with moist, succulent, flame grilled chicken and a Smokey, spicy salsa was washed down nicely by a bottle of mex beer. All this and a side of tortilla chips for around £6.00. A great find and I will be back !

I haven't been to many Chinese restaurants but out of the ones that I have been to, this is the best one. Everything about it was superb. The quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff and the restaurant environment were first rate. I could not afford to go regularly but I will go when I can. Fantastic!

Recently went for lunch. I had the Peruvian Cerviches for starters which was excellent and the Churrasco De Lomo for main which though very good I found slightly disappointing possibly because my expectations were so high. Very good service, an excellent (South American) wine list and nice ambience.

Wow! Much needed new addition to this area. Doing what Italian restaurants do best, simple dishes, great ambience, great prices, great wine, and all in stylish surroundings. Somewhat 'Piccolinoesque', but definitely right to keep it as a Restaurant first and foremost instead of another Canal Street bar food joint. Really impressed, defo worth a try.

Having been on a mission to find a good steak house (only ever found them in America), I booked a table based on the reviews I had read. The menu is quite extensive and we decided to order the beef fillet with fat chips and a side dish of green beans and tomatoes. We were not disappointed. The steak was so tender you could have used a spoon to cut it, and the meat melted in your mouth. The meal was absolutely superb and so was the red wine our waiter recommended. Shame we did not have room left for desserts - oh well there is always the next time!! "We will be back"!!

Recommended by a colleague, we have been here twice within 6 weeks and is one of our most favourite places to eat in Manchester. The menu is excellent and caters for all tastes; I especially liked the steamed mussels in a bag whilst my wife loved the cod with chunky chips - not forgetting the home made custard tart which was amazing! Fresh food, brilliant friendly service, relaxed atmosphere - we hope it doesn? get too big for its own good!

Most certainly one of the best steaks I have had in a long time - extremely fresh and cooked exactly to my liking. The wine list is comprehensive but slightly expensive but as it was a special night we decided to push the boat out and go for a good quality red which was fantastic. It? a little bit too dark in the restaurant which is a shame and when we went the heating was broken so a little chilly. A good recommendation for all those who like quality wine and superb steaks but be prepared to pay for it.

As an aficionado of their establishment in Bollington I'd been meaning to try Stock for some time. I'm glad to say it didn't disappoint. The starter had an intense flavour & the main course of venison & mash was delicious. The wine was extensive and the Sardinian Red was excellent. As with Bollington there's a vast choice of grappa. How about one with truffles in though?!

Me and my friend go regularly and we always have a nice time and food is excellent.

It was quite awkward getting to the food and I felt quite rushed (bill was given before it was requested), but this is understandable for a Saturday evening really. The food was nice, a good selection with some interesting extras such as the cone shaped bundle of sushi wrapped in seaweed. Most impressive were the cocktails at a bargain £2.50! I had the 'wonderful island,' which I can't find a recipe for but it was absolutely delicious!

People who read guide books and want a Chinese in Manchester go to the Yang Sing, where they are treated like cattle, squashed into a tiny space, get average food, dreadful service and eye-watering prices. People who live in Manchester and want a really special Chinese meal go to the Pacific, which is Manchester's finest, bar none. The food is superb and a million miles away form the identikit Chinatown menu. The staff are polite, helpful and attentive. The room is stylish and welcoming. And the prices, while higher than you would pay in one of the many alternatives nearby, are not at all unreasonable given the quality of the offering. I simply cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough.

We are from Birmingham but on a recent weekend stay in Manchester my boyfriend and I visited this restaurant on a Saturday night. We had not booked a table but were seated straight away and felt that the food was delicious and the service great. All the tables had candles which we felt was a nice touch. We will definitely visit again if we are in Manchester. Lovely food, cosy romantic atmosphere and very friendly and attentive staff. I would definitely recommend to others.

Friendly staff & atmos, decent enough food w' some new ideas reasonably priced = pleasant Tex-Mex/Mexican. future plans sound good, especially breakfast; deserves to prosper. ate a few different times, always something else, never been really disappointed. is it only whole beans in the burrito? that's what i had with my veggie one and didn't note refried option, might be me (regular size not very generous but go large option pricey). salsa verde needs work, but the pico de gallo & guacamole both OK. chicken quesadilla alright, chips quite salty. easy to read menu, attractive sounding red meat dishes. (vegetarian & salad-lovin') American companion not overly struck but appreciates the context. are soft tacos in the pipeline? would calling the tortilla chips and salsa what they are be OK, rather than nachos and salsa? we're not that thick surely! still, a labour of love, bravo.

This has become my Friday lunch time favourite, working 15 mins outside town I make the trip in to town especially to sample their Veggie burrito (a large one every now and again) it's delicious. Can't fault anything, food, staff, atmosphere and it's also great value. LOVE IT.

Don? tell everyone how good it is its already mad busy now we'll never get a reservation
