The River Restaurant, 50% Off The New Menu During March
As the winter months give way to lighter evenings, Executive Chef Andrew Green has created a new à la carte menu at the luxurious two-AA-Rosette River Bar and Restaurant at Manchester’s Lowry Hotel. Using premium ingredients and local suppliers, the menu takes both traditional and classic dishes and updates them with a modern twist. Choose from an array of classic starters, such as the intense Potted Shrimp, a mouth-watering Crab Macaroni Cheese, the highly popular Twice Baked Lancashire Bomb Cheese Soufflé or the Beef Bresaola which is cooked to precision after a one-month preparation process.
For mains, stand-out dishes include Andrew’s personal favourite, the Beef Wellington, which is brought to the table and showcased by the chef before being sliced. Baked in mushroom duxelles, Parma ham, with puff pastry and Madeira sauce, it’s one of a number of dishes to share between two. Fish-lovers are spoilt for choice - decide between the delicately prepared Lowry Fish Pie which has intense flavours of the sea, or an exquisite Meuniere-style Whole Dover Sole, a prime, succulent fish served on or off the bone, or perhaps the Scottish Halibut fillet made the classic way with a lobster stock. The melt-in-the-mouth Steamed Beef Shin, Oxtail & Kidney Pudding is another chef recommendation that is cooked over a 15 hours.
Room for a pudding? Try the ‘Best of British’ selection of desserts. The Steamed Treacle Sponge served with custard, naturally, takes an hour to be steamed to precision so should be ordered early along with the other courses. The Rhubarb Trifle is another twist on a much-loved British favourite. Or if you like to share, look no further than the restaurant’s Baked Alaska show stopper with a layer of the softest sponge and ice cream under the browned meringue.
Lunch is served daily between 12 noon and 3pm. Afternoon Tea is served Monday to Saturday between 12 noon and 4pm and Sunday 2pm to 4pm. Dinner is served daily between 6pm and 10pm.
