The 30 Best Upscale cuisine 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.”

“Had an amazing time at Hawksmoor Manchester. The team’s hospitality was spot-on — friendly, genuine, and made us feel really well looked after. Started the evening with a few cocktails at the bar, which were fantastic. The steak was the real highlight — perfectly cooked medium rare, juicy, and full of flavour. Honestly one of the best I’ve had in a long while, and I’ve been to quite a few steakhouses! Lovely ambience too — perfect for a relaxed date night.”

“Valentina and all the staff are so friendly. Well furnished stylish and amazing food especially the chicken breast with chips. The romanian chef there is a real pro. We lost our wallet there and they kept in the safe the next day now thats what I call a dam good restaurant. Highly recommend. Deserts are fab too!”

“Harrison was a lovely server, very welcoming and accommodating. We had the evening set menu and it was a great value for money! I had the empanada to start then the rump and the trés leche for dessert and it was all delicious! really recommend the dessert! will definitely be coming back! thanks team x”

“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.”

“The experience was excellent. The room was a bit smaller but all the amenities and services were there for a much comfortable stay. As we were coming from Hyatt House to Hyatt regency they gave us an early Check in, which was very kind of them. The restaurant staffs were extremely kind and helpful. A big shout out to Andrea from the restaurant, she was very helpful with the menu suggestions, as well as she helped us to find out nearest places to visit, she also gave a Drawing book and colours to our daughter so that she can play with that. Over all a very good experience and thank you to the Whole team.”

“I asked Ryan's Italian to cater a works event in Manchester City centre and ordered 20 pizzas. The pizzas were delivered on time and hot. All night I was being asked where I ordered the pizzas from as everyone was loving them. Thank you very much for catering our event!”

“Came in after work for a quiet bite and left very happy. Lady at the till was lovely, the special fried rice was a good portion and very filling, prices very reasonable.”

“Ghelila served us in the bar and was amazing! Completely re corrected the mistakes of the bar tenders and made sure we had an amazing night. I’ve been multiple times and she’s been amazing and memorable each time. Such a credit to the company the only reason me and my family come back. The hospitality from HER.”

“What can I say, this was my first time visiting Asha's and it definitely won't be my last! I booked for a group of six and we were treated exceptionally well by Ryan and his wonderful team. The food is out of this world, the drinks menu is perfectly paired and the staff were attentive, friendly and just knew our next move. Thank you for a wonderful evening, we'll definitely be back and recommending you to our friends. X”

“The food in here is incredible all home made. I've tried most items on the menu and all of it is top notch. Highly recommend the homemade soup. The staff are great here too. Thanks Genko”

“Great food. What can I say. Only had the ribs this time with the Bonochi Garlic Bread and it was fantastic. Definitely be back on Mother's Day. I just wish I had a bigger appetite so I could try everything on the menu all in one night........oh and the food is probably half eaten in the pics because it just had to be dived into and eaten. Thanks gals and guys. See you soon and again my compliments to the Kitchen/Chef.”

“Great to have the options of light, healthy Indian lunch dishes full of fabulous flavours. Lovely service too!”

“Fantastic restaurant serving freshly cooked Palestinian food of a high standard and with lovely warm service that is attentive and efficient. We’ve eaten at many Middle Eastern restaurants and this is one the best we’ve been to. The Knafeh is excellent and ends a wonderful meal. We also loved the freshly squeezed orange juice and strawberry, mango and pineapple smoothie! If only they had Palestinian ice cream!”

“We had our first meal at this restaurant tonight and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff who were attentive to our needs. A really nice touch was when the chef came out of the kitchen to ask us how our food was. This is something I've only seen on TV before, but it was a really personal and thoughtful gesture that made me feel valued as a customer. The food was also delicious and flavorful. We had pizza, carbonara and risotto and they were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling satisfied but not overstuffed. We also had the tiramisu and chocolate fudge cake both were delicious. The price of the food is a little bit higher than some other restaurants I've been to, but I think it's worth it for the quality of the food and the excellent service. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!”

“Great food and a warm, welcoming atmosphere! Andrea and Paolo, the owners, are friendly and approachable, and Gianni, the chef, is truly one of the best. Highly recommended!”

“Amazing! We went last week and could not fault it. My only regret is not going sooner. The prawns and Carbonara were incredible - highly highly recommend! Very reasonably priced as well :)”

“Delicious bagels with wonderful fresh ingredients. Service is lovely and welcoming. Amazing place to pop in for a morning coffee, brunch, lunch or an afternoon sweet treat. Delish!!!”

“The food was yummy, especially the Maradona pizza. The staff were friendly,and the atmosphere was very warm and cosy . For dessert, the pistachio cheesecake was unique and tasty. Would recommend!”

“The best little Italian restaurant this side of New York.... Or Italy. Wonderful food and exceptional service....attention to detail for our anniversary meal... Even buying us a gift and card. Will be a regular place to eat out for us.”

“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?”

“The Malaysian restaurant to go in Manchester region. Great variety of Malaysian food available with good portion. Starters wise the satay, rojak and roti canai with curry is pretty good although the price for the satay is a little on the higher side. Mee Goreng and Nasi Lemak both are pretty good main options. Good variety of Malaysian drinks available as well. If looking for Malaysian restaurant in Manchester this would be their one to go. Limited parking outside. Sometimes can get a little busy during weekends so might need to book prior but otherwise seats are usually available. Waiting time varies with crowd.”

“What a gorgeous little restaurant! The food was delicious, I had a really good quality thick steak and my partner’s lamb shank was also spot on. Seriously impressed and the service was fantastic, Samed looked after us and was absolutely brilliant as was his colleague. Really great service and really great food, such a great place. We travelled from Yorkshire to come here and will definitely be coming again. Thanks for a fantastic night.”

“'La Sensationale' Me and my partner have just been for the 1st time, and had a meal on a Saturday evening (6.00pm sitting). The place was packed when we walked in, so we thought that must be a good sign!? All courses were GORGEOUS and the portion sizes, although at first appearance seemed rather small, were actually just right! All staff that served us were lovely; very friendly and polite, which helped to make our visit feel extra special... This included the manageress who clearly runs a very well controlled operation as empty tables were cleared, cleaned and reset in a very fast and efficient manner! The place remained packed throughout our 2 hour stay, and we will definitely be returning very soon! A SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO MAGDALENA, WHO PROVIDED EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE THROUGHOUT!! Her manner, service, personality, friendliness, and interaction with customers sets the standard of what first class customer service should be like... 5 STARS, THANKYOU ***** xx”

“We went for the classic afternoon tea. We usually don't like the top dessert layer but this was the best one we ever had. The food was fresh. Scones just out of the over. The service was attentive but not overbearing which is the perfect balance. I would recommend it to try the alcoholic drinks too they had a great collection. Not many tea options but the ones we tried were very good quality with nice taste. A place we would definately re visit when they change the menu.”

“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.”

“This one of the nicest chip shops around. Same owners for years and years. Always polite and friendly. The food is absolute lovely. The Chinese menu is only small. But 100% never had bad food from here.”

“Visited for the first time with friends, its a lovely, warm local pub and Jo the land lady was very welcoming.”

“Lovely staff with a caring nature. Took my babies for nail cuts. They got a free spritz of lovely doggy cologne and one had fur on their paws trimmed too. Lovely man, thank you.”

“We have only ever had the take aways when we want to treat ourselves. We have lived in Saddleworth almost 8 years now and we have really struggled to find a decent Indian restaurant, it has always been hit and miss. There was never any consistency, sometimes good, sometimes bad…HOWEVER I think this is by far our favourite place! We keep going back! The poppadoms are always amazing, every single time, not full of oil and greasy tasting, their Lime Pickle is gorgeous and the food is delicious. The lamb chops are a favourite and you can tell there is no cheat, they have been properly marinating in the delicious spices. The tandoori spices must be a family secret, to die for. Most definitely recommend if you want a genuine taste of India. And it is a plus there is minimal plastic waste:)”
