Manchester Resturants

[Craphouserat]

Afternoon all

Visiting Manchester for my 40th next month - staying at Malmaison near I think Piccadilly station. Looking for recommendations for a decent restaurant for my 40th meal.

Budget for the night will be up to £100 pp - doesn't have to anything fancy - anywhere that does decent meat/fish and vino will do.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Cheers

Guys......

Thanks a lot for those recommendations.

I'm sure coming from St.Andrews, a relatively small town in Fife, Manchester will seem like a nice big city - I've never been - but I'm sure it'll be no dump. I like city breaks and all have their bad areas, I prefer spending my money in the UK.........nothing to do with a fear of flying.....honest !!

Thanks again all - I will look at all those.

Hi there,

I am lucky to be able to have some of the city's best restaurants as customers of mine so hopefully the below should be of some use.

Rosso - Italian food, great ambience and some of the best cocktails in the city. Definitely one to check out.

The French - my personal favourite for the wow factor, recently refurbished so am just waiting to go back and give it another try.

Manchester House - it was ok, a little to showy for my liking and very expensive. Some of the dishes were superb though.

47 King St West - only a small restaurant but family owned and with a great chef it really is a little gem

Solita - as mentioned above a great experience for a true 'dirty' burger

Reds True BBQ - again a bit like Solita but their Doughnut Burger is a true experience

Mr Coopers - another from the Simon Rogan stable and almost as good as The French

Fazenda - a great concept and superb venue, certainly one to do at some point if you get chance

James Martin - ignore the fact its at the rear of the casino and its superb. Been a couple of times and have not been disappointed.

San Carlo Fumo - another Italian but a slightly different concept from the traditional San Carlo sites.

Personally I am looking forward to sampling Tattu, Hawksmoor, Iberica, Wahaca, and Asha's (when it opens in September).

Hope this helps.

Regards

Tim
