First Birthday And New Summer Menu At Grafene

Since its grand opening with Nobel Prize Winner and inventor of graphene, Professor Andre Geim, last summer, Grafene has attracted national press attention, received several award nominations, and moved up 10 places in the Best Restaurants of Manchester listings. Coinciding with the launch of the new summer menu, the birthday celebrations look set to create a stir amongst Manchester food and drink enthusiasts this July, as Grafene round off a successful first year in style.

It’s been an eventful 12 months; not long after opening its doors, Grafene was ranked as one of the top 5 modern British restaurants in the UK by The Times, leading to a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Eat Drink & Sleep Awards last autumn. In January, the restaurant welcomed new Head Chef, Stephen Moore, to the kitchen, who caused a buzz on the Manchester dining scene in April with his first signature menu. As a result of Stephen’s infectious energy and creativity, Grafene continued to climb up the city’s restaurant list, culminating in two further nominations in the COMBA 2017 Awards this Spring – one of which it went on to win.
