Culinary innovation in Manchester

“My first time at Everyman and I was blown away by the fantastic customer service. As soon as we arrived we were wonderful greeted and shown a table before we waited for the screen to be open. A lovely guy with a beard and glasses came and sat to take our order - I couldn’t get over how incredibly friendly and polite he was. The service was worth every penny and the food was delicious.”

“What a place! The location, the decor, the welcome, the staff, the service and of course the food all out of this World. Warm welcome, knowledgeable sommelier who exudes positivity and tells you a fabulous story about the wine, I could listen to him all day. The food is served and explained and is of an exquisite nature. I often don’t even read the ingredients and just try it - and I’m never disappointed. You’d be surprised how small dishes can fill you so much. A fabulous place, and a credit to Simon Wood. We will be back again and again.”

“Great service, Was a little disappointed at first as what we were served did not look like the image on menu (in relation to size) however was immediately offered more- which resulted in us taking some back home. Dined with younger daughter who has the sushi bug and was a pleasant overall experience. Cheers guys”

“Without a shadow of a doubt, the best restaurant I have ever been to. Visited on a whim last night, booked an hour before they opened and were made to feel welcome immediately. A lovely little place with absolutely fantastic food. I'm not usually the adventurous type when it comes to food, but there wasn't a single thing I didn't finish. I honestly considered licking the plates! Each dish was a masterpiece, and if perfection is lots of little things done right then they nailed it. I cannot recommend the place highly enough, please go and show this little business some support, they truly deserve it.”

“First time trying polish food and defo not disappointed it was beautiful huge servings and dumplings amazing and staff very helpful on what there food was defo go again”

“We visited Asylum on the 30 December, and really glad we did. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. There was a warm welcome from the staff, who found us a nice table, and gave fantastic table service. The food was amazing, so fresh and reasonably priced. We had a selection off five or six dishes off the menu along with a bottle of prosecco, the big was £63 , which was such good value. I would recommend a visit either just for a nice drink or sample the amazing food!!”

“Went here for my sister’s 30th for Sunday lunch with my family. The food was incredible and the gravy was so shiny and delicious and there was loads of it! A true northern restaurant. My grandpa also has dementia and we requested that the food was served quickly. They were very accommodating. Can’t wait to come back and try the small plates.”

“Come here for breakfast ALL the time! The lady that owns it is brilliant! So friendly and always goes out her way to make you feel comfortable! The food is amazingly priced and very nice! Really do recommend this place! Support local businesses”

“I'd highly recommend eating at the Clink, the food was great and it was for a good cause. We would visit again if we're in the area. Perfect if you're visiting Quarry Bank. We had a lovely Sunday dinner here, with the lovely veg and roasties. The charred mackeral starter was marvellous, as was the panna cotta. The staff were pleasant, with great service and reasonable prices. Good toilet facilties, including disabled loo. Access ramp in place for wheeled entry, terrain mostly flat with parking located near the entrance”

“First time at Efes, so glad we went - Spectacular food, friendly team and a terrific experience!”

“Fantastic experience like every time. Wine is always excellent, menu changes all the time - but all the dishes we tried this time were great. Tuna carpaccio was our star this evening! Flat bread with beef fat is a must. Great place to enjoy good and creative food and wine and have a good and relaxing evening. All recommendations.”

“Great little sandwich bar may look old but the food is top notch plus it is actually open before work so you can get your breakfast early and if you are just walking the dog they give them little treats”

“Lovely bar with great, varied drink selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff.”

“Actually best shawarma I've every had and the chips despite being covered in sauce and salad are still incredibly crispy.”

“Food and Thorn Bistro, led by Nicky and her wonderful team, catered our end-of-year team lunch and delivered directly to our offices in Piccadilly, Manchester. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The quality of the food was fantastic, beautifully presented, incredibly flavourful, and clearly prepared with great care. Every dish not only tasted amazing but looked spectacular, taking our event to the next level and making it a truly special occasion. Nicky was an absolute delight to work with. Her professionalism, warm communication, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. The delivery and service were exceptional, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. We will definitely be choosing the Food and Thorn team again in the future. I cannot recommend them highly enough for any event big or small!”

“Best takeaway burger I’ve ever had! Fresh ingredients, delicious and piping hot when it arrived! It did come a bit late, but they definitely made up for it with a few freebies. The owner even went out of his way to hand deliver the food.”

“Where do I start…. Firstly, I have just left this establishment. I wasn’t disappointed. Flynn was my server. As an avid tapas lover who has visited many other businesses , I can confidently say that I have never had a server as kind and helpful, he really made the experience worth it . he was great. The food was amazing - 5 stars and 10/10 .”

“Located in the Hyatt Hotel and operated by them. You can choose from the bar and restaurant menu so a decent choice. Waiting staff were excellent, as was the food. With drinks, expect to pay at least 30 a head for a main and a drink. They add 12pct on top for service FYI. Did I say the food was delicious?”

“Fine dining in Manchester, creative but stay true to its northern roots, a great restaurant to celebrate your special occasion”

“Absolutely delicious! My Wife and I went for our anniversary dinner on Monday. The gentleman serving us was extremely attentive and friendly and always around for anything we needed. The food was delicious, portions were very generous and a huge range of choice, definitely something there for everyone! Will happily go back there again and again! We had onion bajis chicken trio pilau rice basmati rice poppadoms butter chicken Peshwari naan”

“Absolutely fantastic place... the staff are amazing, happy to help with anything, and provide such a professional service in a superb bar/restaurant. The food was exceptional and supported by a brilliant drinks menu... I would recommend you make the effort to visit such a wonderful restaurant.”

“The food was absolutely amazing the staff were so kind and amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful”

“Went with my wife and daughter for the first time on Sunday. We had scollops and gnocchi followed by pork loin and asparagus risotto. Food was delicious and the service was excellent. Would give it 5+ stars”

“Went with dad a few weeks ago. Staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. Foods were fresh and actually tasty considering their values for money. Would recommend for either dining it or having takeaway, however bearing in mind there are very limited seats.”

“Foods unreal. Definitely get the wings! Service was fab, really friendly and helpful”

“Even though I have e never dined in and only get delivery the food always tastes fresh and full of flavour. The butter chicken and mixed masala lamb and chicken are must try dishes...”

“Went there today with family and had an amazing meal. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Food was exceptional had Sunday lunch and the gravy was to die for best I’ve ever had. Although I live in the Isle of Man I would definitely return when back in Sale. Would definitely recommend.”

“Lovely cafe. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Good service and good prices. Vegan and gluten free food good for everyone. Dog friendly.”

“Delicious coffee & treats and quiet canal-side seating. A social enterprise supporting good causes. Attached to The People's History Museum, which is by donation. Highly recommended.”
