Reviews in Manchester City Centre

We were exhibiting at the next stand to Sugarvine at the NRB show and asked for a recommendation for a Chinese in the city centre. We were delighted with the meal. will go again when in Manchester!

Dined here on the recommendation of Sugarvine. Great meal and great value. Lobster for £17 with refills for my chips and salad!

Croma has the best pizzas in town and that has been seconded by my daughters!

Lunch was stunning, beautiful place, set menu outstanding value for a celebrity chef restaurant. Although makes up for breakfast at £20 a head. An absolute must for lunch though.

Our party enjoyed an excellent lunch at the Steak and Lobster. An equal amount chose each option and all were very satisfied. I had the steamed lobster and had a free top up of chips and salad. Good choice of wines by the glass and a luscious chocolate cheesecake to follow. Particularly impressed with the coffee choice post meal, I think a colombian, Sri Lankan and Indian. All were distinctly different in aroma and taste. Just £17 a head, bargain.

We were very excited to try Manchester House and it very much lived up to our expectations of it. As the flaship foodie restaurant of Living Ventures, and with the big billing it has had with Aiden Byrne at the cooker, much praise has been heaped upon it. It has been made quite clear a Michelin star for manchester was the aim. The food was really first class and deserving of that accolade. We had frogs legs, snails, venison and hare. The venue's ambience and atmosphere were exactly what we wanted. Great design, plenty of space, cool subdued lighting and a huge open plan kitchen. Great to choose to look into the kitchen or the dining room. Very extensive wine list and the prices were good considering the quality within it. Service was good and I would have been more than satisfied if it wasnt for the fact that Manchester House has pretensions for excellence. Questions of providence, about the wine list and how many chefs there were etc, were met with startled looks. Some waiting staff definitely needed training and we were surprised that this wasn't taken as seriously as the food. Do not let this put you off. We spent £166 for 2 with a good bottle of wine 2 courses and a shared dessert. For the experience we had I see that as very good value and we normally pay a lot less than that for a meal out.

Stunning looking restaurant that now offers afternoon tea. The cloister like seating area to the front of the hotel is the perfect place to have it.

Found this gem by chance and have returned again and again, food is excellent and is always hot and fresh, Staff always friendly and helpful the wines are good and reasonably priced as is the food, booking recommended.

Amazing recently built old style pub in the heart of uber contempory Spinningfields. Great outside space and I must say the best Guiness I can remember having. Didnt eat but will next time.

Looking forward to this place opening later in the year. Their other pubs are spot on and the city centre needs a New Moon Vibe!

The entrance to this restaurant is reminiscent of le Louvre in Paris. Through the glass pyramid you descend to a unique and stylish subterranean bar & restaurant where everything is cream. We enjoyed a drink at the bar before being shown to our table which was at the far end of the restaurant, directly in front of the glass wall which separates the restaurant and the kitchen. It was fantastic watching the food being prepared and a sign of confidence by the management I always think. Our waiter was extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the food & more than happy to offer advice or make suggestions. You can choose a selection of smaller dishes or stick to the more traditional starter & main course. If you like fish, this is the place for you however there are plenty of vegetarian and meat options too. The food was amazing - we opted for 8 smaller dishes to share which arrived in a steady flow rather than all at once which suited us. I can't wait to go back - lovely experience.

Great steak and lovely Malbec wine at Alberts tonight!

My partner and I along with a group of family and friends had the pleasure of dining at Al Bacio. The service was impeccable. The food was delicious, truly authentic Italian cuisine. We will definitely be eating here again and would highly recommend that others do too.

I liked the food which is genuine Mediterranean and very delicious. The environment is very cosy and inviting. The wine is quality.

I recently visted Duttons and was pleasantly surprised, the location is great, the decor makes it a very comfortable place to be, the food looked good, although I haven't eaten here yet, I plan too! Great choice for a drink or two in Manchester.

This was my second visit to this unique restaurant. Last time I was impressed with the Lobster and equally so this time, with my steak. Starters were also tiptop as was the house Rioja. Would recommend the hotel the restaurant is housed in, as a place to stay, if in Manchester too.

Me and my boyfriend was recommended Annie's by a friend! But when she went Jennie wasn't there to greet her to much by my suprise she was when I visited! I went on a Sunday, the waiting area is gorgeous to have so e drinks and a catch up, as I went on a Sunday I thought I'd try the Sunday roast!! And the mash potatoe!! Oh my, amazing! Literally melted in the mouth, ill definitely be back for afternoon tea! Gorgeous restaurant with friendly staff x

This venue is very disappointing. The service is appalling and the food is very mediocre. A small dispute over the bill lead to the owner of the restaurant shouting abuse and swearing loudly in the middle of a relatively busy restaurant issuing threats and calling the police (who took my side much to his frustration), in spite of my own calm and polite approach to the matter. It was embarrassing and something i have never expect from a restaurant. It ruined my evening and made other customers feel very uncomfortable. To add insult to injury, the food itself is also of lower quality than its competitors nearby. I strong word of advice - AVOID!
