A fantastic restaurant with amazing and attentive staff, our first visit and we all had the taster menu with the wine flight which was all outstanding.
A wonderful celebration for my mums 80th this evening! I’m adding to the reviews because they prompted me to book. Make a reservation - you won’t be disappointed! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options too which might not be immediately obvious looking at their website and lots of lovely no alcohol cocktails. Best of all, the staff were so lovely with my little boy Freddie. He was made to feel very welcome and loved the experience as much as we did. Thank you all so much.
★★★★★ A Fantastic Neighbourhood Gem Hispi in Didsbury completely lives up to its excellent reputation. We had a wonderful evening from start to finish. The food was absolutely excellent – beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with high-quality, fresh ingredients. It's the kind of inventive cooking that makes every bite a pleasure. We were also impressed by the very good wine selection, which offered some interesting choices that perfectly complemented our meal. The service was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being overbearing – truly good service all around. Its central location in Didsbury is perfect, right in the heart of the village with great access to other bars and shops. A major bonus for drivers is the 90 minutes of free parking right outside, which makes popping in for a fantastic lunch or dinner incredibly easy. We can't wait to return!
I’ve been living in Manchester for two years now, and I think it’s safe to say that the meal I had at Hispi was one of the most memorable I’ve had in that time — if not the most memorable. One of the reasons we chose this spot was their separate gluten-free menu, and we decided to celebrate my mum’s birthday here. Without a doubt, we left incredibly happy and are already dreaming about our next visit. From the photos, all dishes except for the Chicken Schnitzel (photo 2) and Strawberries and Cream (photo 3) were gluten-free. We went with the 3-course menu from the main menu, but I’m definitely planning to come back and try their bistro menu as well. For starters, we ordered the Lamb’s Breast, Chestnut Mushroom Pâté, and Roast Beetroot Salad. Each one was packed with flavour, and we genuinely had to stop ourselves from finishing them too quickly. For mains, we chose the Wild Halibut and the Chicken Schnitzel with Garlic & Parsley Butter. The halibut was perfectly cooked — one of the best fish dishes I’ve had in ages. The risotto underneath was equally divine. I’m glad I picked it, though I did try the schnitzel as well, and it was also absolutely delicious. We also shared a side of Truffle and Parmesan Chips, and I don’t think I’ve ever had chips so thoughtfully prepared. Next time, I’ll probably order two portions if I’m not dining solo — they’re that good! Now onto one of the best parts of the meal — dessert (aka the last kiss). We had the Vanilla Crème Brûlée, Honeycomb Ice Cream, and Strawberries and Cream. The crème brûlée was easily one of the best I’ve had in my life. Even though the portion was generous, we shared it — and I still found myself wishing for more. As it was my mum’s birthday, I noted it when booking. During dessert, we were surprised with a sweet little gesture — they brought over some Malted Tea & Whiskey Fudge, which meant a lot to us. Thank you for such thoughtful hospitality. We paired our meal with a lovely bottle of Shiraz, which added a perfect touch to an already special evening. The total came to £227, and honestly it was one of the best £227 I’ve ever spent. A special thanks to our server Hannah, who was incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive throughout. Thank you again to the whole team for making the night so special. Can’t wait to return!
Absolutely amazing, this was my first time eating out as someone with a gluten intolerance and was given a separate menu which had more than just salads. Very impressed and will definitely be back
First time visiting Hispi. Me and my husband came with our two children. The staff were amazing. Very friendly and know their stuff about the food/wine. The food was incredible, never wanted it to end! The Chocolate Oblivion was to die for. Thank you for a wonderful evening... We will definitely be back.
One of our favourite restaurants. The food has always been amazing and for the price it's totally worth it. Take their recommendation on the wine, the food and just have a good time. Your stomach is in safe hands.
Went for the Sunday roast and it was absolutely flawless. Great food, great wine, fantastic service. We had the crispy pig's head and lamb fat potatoe terrine to start, beef and pork roast, chocolate oblivion and crumble dessert.
Good menu which made it difficult to choose what I wanted to eat but the dishes I picked were definitely a good choice. Service was impeccable and the waiter was helpful in choosing a wine that I could enjoy for my starter and main course. We even managed to get a slice of the infamous custard tart which was delightful.
