Reviews in Manchester

We had the vegetarian platter and it was good quality but nothing very different. For the price at £13 pp on a vegetarian meal it was quite expensive for the portions. There are others in Manchester who do it better, in no quite as nice surroundings for less money.

All I can say is that ANY restaurant that can induce me to climb a veritable Matterhorn of stairs MUST have something about it. The Pearl City certainly has that! It features great dim sum (including, for my money, some of the best cheung fun rice rolls in town!) There's very little to fault here - a good, reliable Chinese! If only they had a lift....

Steaks are fantastic, the best I have had. Even the potato wedges were absolutely superb. Place is too big during the week as there aren't enough people to fill the room so atmosphere isn't great - go when it is busy

This long-established restaurant still retains its original wine-bar atmosphere, with under-sized tables, plank floors, and informality. Don't expect luxury or slick trendiness here, but do expect to eat well. There is an extensive a la carte menu -- expect £60+ for 3 courses plus modest wine for two - and cheaper, but more restricted fixed price menus. Food is carefully cooked and well-presented, and obviously appreciated by the relaxed clientele on the very busy Thursday night I visited. Yes, packed on a Thursday! The big let-down is the clumsy service. Well-meaning, friendly young people dash and bumble around, but a few well-trained waiters would do much to justify the prices.

Recently reopened after extensive refurbishment, and now much larger. The food is still great - possibly the best in Chinatown - with some truly innovative dishes. Really helpful staff, who seem genuinely pleased you're there!

The New Emperor is my current favourite. When ever I'm in Manchester for the night, this is the restaurant that I go to. All the meals that I've eaten there have been very good, but I'm still only about 1/5 through the menu! The service is great, there's always someone near to help you and you get service with a smile. The ambience is very good. The restaurant is fairly large, yet when ever I've been (Saturdays) it's always been very busy. The price for the meals is pretty good. It's about the average price for china town, but like I said, the quality of the food is very good. I've got no hesitation in recommending the New Emperor to anyone who likes Chinese food.

After a days hiking we fancied some traditional british fayre and the Chop House did not disappoint. I had steak and kidney pudding which was truly homemade and delicious! The place is spot on!!

The upper restaurant serves Thai dishes that are simply the best in Greater Manchester (from one who has tried the majority of Thai restaurants). Also worth visiting at lunchtime for the buffet which is great value and families are made welcome.

Everything about this restaurant, from the exceptional food to the basket of hand towels in the toilets, oozes sophistication. The atmosphere is stylish and comfortable without being pretentious and the service is fabulous. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody, and although the prices are slightly above average, it is a small price to pay for such an enjoyable evening. Thank you!

Still a hinden gem, thank God. My favorite restaurant in Manchester. Every birthday/special occasion you'll find me here! Lovely :-)

The best ever steak I have ever tasted. I am a chef and this was out of this world! I would gladly eat here every day if I could! A massive steak came along with what looked like a butter knife (unlike the scary steak knives you get in other British places) but, it was cooked to perfection and I think I could have cut the steak up with a spoon! Superb.

Itslovely food but a bit too expensive for what you get. Nice to take your Mum to on Mothers Day. She'll be impressed that her veggie meal cost the earth.

the windmill is a family restaurant, it is inexpensive, friendly and very convenient. the service was good and the meals were delivered in a short period of time, the portions of food given are reasonable and the meat on the cavery is delicious, a highly recommended restaurant for children or adults.

Small Backroom Restaurant providing excellent Turkish food.

The food was excellent with an extensive varied menu to suit all tastes. Very enjoyable. Well worth a visit

I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME AT BELLA PASTA, THE STAFF WERE GREAT. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SAT NIGHT OUT!!!

The ox is the future of Manchester entertainment. Away from the pretentious and rammed city centre bars, the Ox is rapidly becoming a new type of bar/pub/restaurant for those in the know who have had enough of rip off bars that take an hour to get served and where the food looks good and tastes terrible. The ox is none of these and is a surprising blend of business types happily mixing with young proffessional urbanites and is also child friendly. The food in my opinion(which I share with my friends) is possibly the best and certainly the most reasonable in town. Whether it be a business lunch or Sunday brunch or an atmosphere for an England game the Ox is not surpassed by any in our city. Keep it up the Ox.
