Having a small child, our nights out are limited and so we have to choose wisely. A wrong decision on a Saturday night and that? it until the next month or two.... We fancied steak and so thought about going to the Gaucho again, but also wanted something new and not the laborious drive and taxi journey home from town. So having had a look on Sugarvine we decided to give the House in Altrincham a go. I am so glad we did. We managed to get a table at short notice and were not disappointed. The starters were great but nothing amazing, although it was the first restaurant I could take my veggie mother and she would be able to eat nearly everything, rather than the veggie section being an afterthought! The main course.......Blimey...... If you like your steak..... Forget the Gaucho, head here. I had the fillet, I'm a bit of a steak snob, rare and it was done to perfection. The other half had the rump-medium rare and again it was like a cooking lesson on how they should be cooked. They came with the most beautiful chips which were so potatoey and lovely. And the pepper sauce/pan juices were mouth watering. Our dessert was again superb, the other half had ice cream which not only had the lovely vanilla bits in but also came with its own side dish of hot choc sauce...hmmmm I was really cheeky and asked for strawberries which weren't on the menu but they did dutifully provide. In a fantastic huge dish with whipped cream and pouring cream..... It was like they had read my mind on my favourite dessert. I am writing this at 23.19 after the night in question.. I can't wait to go back!

Just got back from a great meal at Villaggio and would really recommend it to anyone. We just had the usual pizza and pasta dishes, but it's such a lovely restaurant and the staff were great, so this really adds to the experience. The food itself was faultless. We tried it because we saw it in the City Card Manchester website and had 25% off, but still couldn't believe it when our bill was less than £20! Next time you're in the village, get to Villaggio for a real Italian
Villaggio – Manchester City CentreThis was our third visit to Fu's and again we couldn't fault the food or service. Our dining experience was improved by the air conditioning in the restaurant on what was a very hot and humid evening - the complementary bottle of water was a nice touch too. This restaurant is rapidly becoming our favourite and we can? wait to go again.
Fus Chinese Restaurant Cafe – Manchester City CentreI went for the Early-Dinner Menu; three courses for £10.95, along with my parents. I was worried, as they expect large portions, but our meal was a lovely balance of quality and quantity. I had salmon and cod fishcakes for starters, followed by an 8oz steak with chunky chips, and pear and almond tart - each of the courses was hearty, traditional fare. The puddings were huge, and the service was prompt and pleasant, in a very casual and relaxed atmosphere. This is not experimental food, but the quality was excellent, and the food caringly prepared. A very pleasant, laid-back restaurant, and excellent value.
The House Restaurant and Wine Bar – AltrinchamWell, what can be said? I was out for a meal one Friday evening in this authentic and captivating noodle bar. Firstly, me and my friend were greeted warmly and enthusiastically by a female who i assume was the owner. Starters were ordered and brought out very efficiently and presented wonderfully. Needless to say, said starters were delicious. The main courses were also perfect and brought out to my place by a beautiful, keen waitress! The only draw back was a lack of dessert menu, but I definitely left a happy man.
Fuzion Noodle Bar – FallowfieldMy boyfriend and I have the Thai buffet for lunch at least once a week. The food is always of a high standard and varies from day to day. There is a lot of choice and so should suit anyone's taste, vegetarian or meat eater. The service is exceptional as the staff are always friendly and efficient. We love it!!
Pacific – Manchester City CentreI have eaten at the Harrows a couple of times within the past two weeks. Once with friends and once as a couple. On each occasion the food was superb, the service was excellent and very friendly. The atmosphere at The Harrows is most welcoming, which added to the enjoyment of both evenings. I will most definitely return to The Harrows in the very near future.
The Harrows – RochdaleI enjoy eating out, and this has to be one of the best places I eaten in...ever! The service, and food was excellent!
Giorgios – Manchester City CentreA Great little restaurant, love going there. Great service and excellent food.
Stables Restaurant – HydeWent to Stock for a pre-theatre meal at 6pm, for a play starting at 7:30. Service was very attentive initially, we were seated quickly, and received our drinks and food promptly. The food was absolutely excellent and the venue is sublime. It was impossible however to get the bill - surprising given a healthy ratio of waiting staff to customers. Having finally received the bill from the third person we asked, had to leave the table and get a fourth to process it in order to make curtain up. Come on guys, don't let a good thing down - it's all in the details.
Stock Restaurant – Manchester City CentreHad a fantastic meal for two on a Sunday afternoon. Excellent and imaginative salads with amazing accompaniments - leek and goats cheese strudel with cous cous, apple and celery chutney and leaves to name but one. A Chorlton Institution. Service was let down a little by one surly waitress, but the rest of staff were very nice.
Lead Station – ChorltonMy favourite bar and place to eat in Manchester. This has been mine & my friends' local now since the start of the year. It took a while to take off after it opened last year but don't they all in the city? We find it VERY chilled with a really friendly atmosphere, Geoff the gentleman who runs it makes you feel like you are actually in your own lounge! They even tell you to signal when you need more drink instead of going over to the bar. The interior is cosy & modern, I do believe that they are getting Air-Conditioning fitted this week. Prices are very reasonable, & they even serve drinks in chilled glasses!! Food is a class of its own.
English Lounge – Northern QuarterOne of the rarer dining experiences in that the ambience and the service over shadowed the food. Despite the food quality being high, the service was excellent and we were made to feel more than welcome during our stay. When combining the quality of all aspects of the experience versus the cost, it would be fair to say that the value for money is excellent.
Panama Hattys – Manchester City CentreAs the other reader I?e only been for takeaways but the standard of food was fabulous! I'm a veteran of Rusholme / Katmandu and this place really stands out. Food of a standard of an expensive restaurants - well worth a try!
Coriander – ChorltonIt is an excellent restaurant to go to the service is good the food is mouth watering. It is very busy especially at weekends everyone? really friendly. Now that they have given the restaurant a makeover it looks much better it is incredible. I recommend that you should go there and I? sure that u will be a satisfied customer.
Balti Brasserie – EcclesAte here again last night, and it was tremendous again. Full of Indian diners, does that tell a story? No competition at the moment in Manchester!! Try it and try and find fault!!
East z East – Manchester City CentreFantastic vegetarian curries and huge poppadoms! Very good service and atmosphere. Heartily recommended.
Mumbai Indian Restaurant – HorwichSix of us went on a Friday night, the place was heaving but the service was very good and the food was excellent. Only one of our group was veggie but when the food is this good, who needs meat? Will definitely be going again. I don't think there was one thing on the menu that I wouldn't try. Fantastic
