Reviews in Spinningfields

What an amazing lunch for the very small sum we paid! Gorgeous lamb tagine and a Italian sausage ragu. Sticky toffee pudding to follow and a nice sharp coffee!

Nice drink, food and great company!

We chose Fazenda after a movie. Excellent food in classy surroundings. Could hardly move after.

This place is amazing. The staff treat you like royalty and the whole experience is worth travelling for (we got the train from St. Annes). The meats are so tasty and they have the most interesting and varied salad bar I have ever seen. We were in there for nearly 3 hours and there was no pressure for us to leave then but we could not manage another mouthful. Nice wine too.

My kids loved their meat overload at Fazenda!

Visited Fazenda last weekend for the first time and was not disappointed. The service was second to none, the salad bar was top quality and the meat was amazing. I'd definitely go again and would highly recommend this place to my friends.

Attended November 15. We had a big booking of artists who were performing at a venue nearby.The venue were helpful enough in booking us a private dining room, and also understanding that some of our party were arriving late and travelling from all over (also 2 of them had to leave early due to the event scheduling). I understand that mentioning Sugarvine almost counted as a 2-way recommendation. Not only were we assured from the website that this is a great place to dine, but the venue seemed to be safe in the knowledge that we were a discerning bunch, despite the chaotic and fragmented nature of our arrival.The staff were all very patient with our ever-changing needs and were helpful, friendly and informative throughout.We ordered a variety of drinks, beers, wines, spirits, coffees and cocktails. The cocktails looked (and tasted) really good and weren’t as expensive as we feared! Not sure if I can say the same about the coffees which did seem like a bit of an after-thought, although by then we had been moved to the bar as we had gone over our allotted time (in fairness they did give us the coffees for free). As for the food, it was very impressive! After a good explanation on the process, the menu, ingredients and veggie alternatives (of which there were several) we all headed to the buffet area, then returned excitedly to our tables, with green coasters all upturned eagerly waiting the influx of 15 cuts of meat!The waiters swarmed all over us, all keen to fill us up, explaining the cuts as they went round the table.The food was delicious, in particular the steaks, which was good that the main event lived up to its billing (not always the case in my experience).Maybe we were unlucky that the vegetarian in the group was sat nearest the entrance, but she was always first to be offered slices of meat, and the waiters always seemed to place their skewers right next to her, even when serving people sat either side of her…this wasn’t great for her. Also her veggie dish took a bit longer and by the time she had hers, we’d all been fed!Some of the party commented they felt like it was all about the beef, and within 5 minutes had filled up on beef before things like chicken and gammon arrived. Not sure if that is anyone’s fault, maybe just how it was on the night, but it wasn’t a complaint as such. Personally I enjoyed the lot and it was nice that one of the waiters, when faced with a table of 8 red coasters and only 2 green, had the wherewithal to ask if there was anything we hadn’t tried, or would like to have more of before we all finished (cue more of the Filet Mignon, which was the pick of the bunch).All in all, it was a great experience, some of our party had never seen such a concept but all said they’d definitely do it again (even the veggie)!The décor, atmosphere and presentation was all really cool and impressive and left a good impression on Spinningfields and Manchester itself.Price was very reasonable considering the location and the quality (not forgetting the quantity either for some of the more gluttonous carnivores on our table)! Would definitely recommend and looking forward to going back.

Wow, what a difference! They have taken over the shop next door and more than doubled the space. Looks great and still the same fab cocktails. Food is good too!!

Their express lunch represents great value at £7 for the stew of the day or £10 with another side!

Went with the staff after the NRB and the service was fantastic, all the staff had smiles on their faces and nothing was too much trouble. The food was full of flavour and tasted fresh. We all said we would definitely go back! Tomas really looked after us!

The full suckling pig was awesome! So tender it could be cut up using a side plate! A definite must try!

Stunning looking restaurant in Spinningfields. Love Spanish food and these guys are now the best operators for this cuisine in town. Hugely successful London venues this their first outside the capital. Tapas choices excellent as was the wine we chose and list as a whole. Will be visiting regularly.

We booked Fazenda via Sugarvine for our Christmas party and were very glad we did. We all had a fab time and would return.

Wow, what a treat with the girls. Not surprised that Manchester House is considered the best restaurant in Manchester. Great bar upstairs as well. No need to go anywhere else!

Wow, love it! Meat sweats haha.

Fazenda offers a really fantastic dining experience in beautiful surroundings with tip top service. It serves Gaucho and Brazilian inspired food. A real meat fest presented in a very novel way. Waiters appear at your table with a variety of meats on skewers which are cut and put on your plate. The quality of meat is very high and you can choose from about 10 different cuts. The 'salad bar' is like no other I have seen. Get rid of the image of a Harvester salad bar. This is high end accompaniments to your meat. I think you can eat away for about 2 hours. Our wine by the glass was excellent and next time we will get stuck into the wine list proper. The ambience exudes sophistication and calm. It would appear no expense has been spared. Fazenda has about 4 private dining rooms that look perfect for a party. The staff have clearly been very well trained. One could argue that you don't get time to yourself as waiters continually arrive with food. However each table has a card that can be turned over to indicate that you wish a break. We will return and expect that this venue will do very well indeed.

Superb lunchtime feed at Thaikhun Manchester. Decor gorgeous. Loved it. I had papaya salad and massuman curry. Partner had veggie pad thai. Friend had beef salad and some other meat dish. All great.
