Reviews in Manchester City Centre

As I grew up in North America I went in expecting the same old mediocre attempt at "American" cuisine but I can honestly say this tasted absolutely delicious! Bit pricey for a burger (9 quid) but you get what you pay for I suppose. Would definitely go back

El Rincon is an excellent place to eat, it has a very Spanish feel and great atmosphere!! I love it!!

Excellent food, interesting and vibrant surroundings and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Well worth a visit.

Booking is advised otherwise one can have a long wait. Service was great and so was the food, Can get a bit crowded though but that feeling fades away very fast. Convenient location and a must for Thai food fans out there!

I hope that my experience at Taurus is not going to become the norm. I dined with a number of friends at Al Fresco on a Sunday night and the service was slow and the food portions terrible. Two of my friends ordered a dim sum platter at £12.50, when it eventually arrived after 48 minutes, it consisted of around 8 dim sum items, half a plate of prawn crackers, Olives (Chinese olives no doubt) and a lot of salad. My Cajun chicken was anything but, and was a humble 5 slices of chicken breast in a decent sized ciabatta (all for £5). Fortunately the Taurus Burger with Bacon at £8 was of a better standing. When we commented to the waiter about the portion sizes, he agreed that they were not altogether reasonable and reduced the meal by half price. I've eaten a couple of times here before on lunchtime on various days. I've usually found it much better but I think this is a change in policy by the management. I don't think it's somewhere I could recommend because of the lack of consistency. A great shame.

cheap as chips billy bunter would be full up!

The atmosphere at Sinclairs is something you'll find nowhere else in Manchester. Really cheap prices and quick service. Perfect place to come on a sunny day or on a night out. My favourite place to have a drink and generally a fantastic time.

28 0f us booked and had a brilliant night at EFES, the service was great, entertainment fantastic. All staff made my sisters hen night a night that we wont forget. Would highly recommend to others.

every time i have visited with customers and family , the service is second to none , and the food outstanding espicially the mixed grill , v good for catering for larger groups also highly recommended

Very good food, but truly awful service. Over an hour between courses, and repeatedly ignored requests for extra drinks, the bill, etc., combined with arrogant disdain, effectively ruined our evening.

Very difficult to find - I had to seek the assistance of the long arm of the law. But well worth it. Excellent "rice and three curries" for £3.50. Just what you need after a morning round town.

This Restaurant has to be one of the greatest in Manchester! the food,service and atmosphere is out of this world. GO TOPKAPI!

OK I haven't given any outstanding ratings (a reflection on my fussiness rather than the place), but I love it here. I've been coming here for years and the lovely food, good service and friendly atmosphere always ensure I have a great time- as well as the happy hour wine of course. I've introduced lots of people to its joys and everyone has been suitably impressed. I can't sing Velvet's praises enough.

On the basis of my first visit, the Yang Sing deserves its reputation as one of Britain's premier Chinese restaurants. It advertises that it will design a banquet for you around your likes and dislikes at a fixed price. We told the waitress what these were and that we dont want to spend more than £25 per head. We left it to her to pick the food and keep it as a surprise. It was great. Nothing could have been described as "the usual you get in a chinese", but, equally, there was nothing odd. Service was first class. Our visit was for a saturday nightnd, even for 7.30, the reservation had been essential. As mentioned above, food for four cost £100. Drinks and tip added another £50. Not a cheap night out but worth every penny.

Excellent value for money and always friendly service. It has become a mainstay of Manchester Eateries and can always be depended on. The extended non-smoking policy is a welcome addition.

The ambience of this place has to be tested to believe. Wonderful staff, quality beers and excellent choice of quality food. On a sunny day,"Shambles Square" as we still call it, is a match for Paris, Amsterdam or Madrid.

The Ox has a current menu firmly in the "modern british" style. My partner had a starter of crab cakes (spicy), followed by a good rib-eye steak. I had black pudding, on a potato & apple rosti, followed by pork chop with roast vegetable couscous. All excellent. Being greedy, we had side orders of fine beans and a really good rocket & parmesan sald. It meant we were too full for desserts, but managed coffee. Service was excellent throughout. It was great to have such quality food in this relaxed environment. Bill, including drinks was just short of £60, which we felt was good value.

Been several times, but never anyone else in the restaurant at lunch time. One bad experience with mussels but generally food excellent, though expensive for the place. Bar food better value, and just as nice, with more punters to give a better atmosphere.
