Wine pairing in Manchester

“Tipples is an absolute gem nestled in our town—a haven for whisky enthusiasts and casual sippers alike. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Greg. His passion for whisky shines through in every conversation, making the experience not just about purchasing a bottle but about discovering the stories and craftsmanship behind each selection. The shop itself is charming. We left Tipples with a fantastic bottle and smiles on our faces. This isn't just a shop; it's a delightful experience that we're definitely planning to revisit. If you're in town, Tipples is a must-visit destination for all whisky lovers.”

“Great little wine shop and bar with inside and outside seating. Wide choice of wines and other drinks in the bar as well as cheese/charcuterie platters. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. Particularly recommend wine flight Wednesday: three small (70ml) glasses of wine for a reasonable price!”

“This place is a gem, I've never actually been into the shop but I order from them regularly as they have a great selection of wines and beers - at really good prices. The staff are always so helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend! ❤️”

“I came in with my granddaughter last week, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Upon walking into the establishment, it felt as if we were transported to New York. As a proud American, I must say I felt right at home! My granddaughter, on the other hand—who is very hard to impress—took her time, but by the time the food arrived, her demeanor had changed. We ordered the Benny's Burger, the schnitzel wrap, and the sweet potato chips. I have to mention that my granddaughter did not make the life of the young lady at the till easy. With the number of notes my granddaughter gave for her schnitzel wrap, I was sure she would be laughed at by our server. Instead, we were met with kind responses, smiles, and absolutely no issues. The food came out very quickly, and all three items we ordered were presented exquisitely! Every note was followed perfectly. The service was probably the best I have experienced in this otherwise abysmal country. I come to England at least twice a year from New York to visit my children and grandkids. I try to give each one time alone with me so I can give each the attention they deserve. My son had mentioned that there was a splendid restaurant I had to try; he has ordered Uber delivery from you a few times. I truly recommend the dine-in experience! I will definitely be returning the next time I come to visit the kids. (I do apologize, as I had intended to share the photographs that were taken. But sadly, only my granddaughter took photos—she has the better phone and therefore the better camera—and she seems to be taking her time sending them to me.)”

“From the starters to the main dish, everything was absolutely perfect! The rib eye was cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Every bite was delicious, and the sides complemented the meal beautifully. The service was excellent too , Ihtsham, who served us, was an amazing host, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“A nice fine dining restaurant with absolutely delicious food. We visited the restaurant for lunch and it was an amazing experience. There are various options for both vegetarian and non vegetarians. The portions were really good. Above all we were welcomed and served by really warm and courteous staff. We would definitely recommend. Note: Visited the place in October 23”

“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!”

“Loveliest of places. To work, relax, feel welcomed, learn from experts in one of the most laid back, informed and genuinely passionate and inclusive fun ways possible. Great pouring selection and lovely tables and layout inside and out. You feel totally at home as a solo customer, working or reading and relaxing. Wish I’d discovered before this year but making up for it now.”

“Amazing customer service. Very knowledgeable staff. Great selection. Reasonable prices. Worth a visit.”

“Excellent for supplying drinks for large events. Accommodating tasting service and advice to determine what you want, an unbeatable selection of wines and beers, and they even allow you to return any untouched excess beer boxes/wine bottles.”

“I've never left a review for anything before but I was so blown away by this experience, I felt I should leave one. The food was incredible, I had the king prawns, tenderstem broccoli and spinach but would recommend all dishes. The drinks were delicious and the service was flawless. Thank you to everyone at Las Ramblas for such a lovely experience. I would recommend you to anyone.”

“Rosie and Connal you are outstanding. Nothing is too much. I cannot recommend majestic wines more purely because of their knowledge and customer service. 10/10 absolute credit to the company and a truly wonderful customer service thank you”

“Fabulous wine bar in a wonderful part of Manchester. Small but well-chosen selection by the glass, and an utterly fantastic range by the bottle (from around the world). You can even use a tasting card with a wine dispenser! The space has seating both inside and out, and they also offer a selection of small bites to enjoy alongside your drinks. Highly recommend stopping by for a glass (or two)!”

“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.”

“My boyfriend took me here for my birthday dinner and we had the most wonderful evening! Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated immediately. For starters we had calamari, focaccia and olives - all were delicious! Our mains, the pizza and steak were equally yummy. The highlight of the evening for me was when the waiters brought out a cake and sang happy birthday. Thank you so much to all the staff- you were so friendly and professional, and you made my birthday very special. Grazie mille!”

“We visited for the first time on Saturday 8th November 2025 and we were served by Simona. She couldn’t have been more attentive. The service provided was excellent and right up there with the food. I had the arancini and the carbonara with sides of tenderstem broccoli and rocket. My partner had the scarpetta and lasagne. We both really enjoyed the food, particularly the dishes I picked. Simona kindly made me aware that the carbonara was traditional and not cooked with cream, which is what I expected but I do know people who have eaten a version of “carbonara” with cream who would definitely appreciate this information for their knowledge and to be aware of what they were ordering. Despite our table being booked for 7pm on a Saturday and the restaurant being very busy, we did not wait long to be served or for our food to come out. It was all well presented and perfectly cooked. I’ve already recommended a number of people to visit since our meal and we will definitely return next time we’re in Manchester.”

“Lovely food and staff really enjoyed my full English veggie breakfast ..super impressed definitely visiting again..and the had my favourite brown sauce a must for me”

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“The staff here have great knowledge and are incredibly helpful. I requested a case of 12 wines as a gift and the packaging and presentation were fabulous. I massively appreciate what a briliant job Keith did with all of it - the extra little touches elevated it brilliantly. Big thanks again - much appreciated!”

“We ordered take away and it was amazing. Best Turkish Food around Manchester. I'm from Turkey and i was looking for a good Turkish restaurant for 2 years and finally someone knows what they are doing.”

“Recommended me some great wines that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise and they were all greatly received. Would visit here over a supermarket any day of the week.”

“A wonderful experience at the Knutsford Majestic today. A hugely knowledgeable and enthusiastic team and we went away with 12 fantastic bottles - looking forward to trying them! Thank you to Andrew and the other majestic team members who helped us. X”

“Friendly staff and beer is always cold :)”

“If you're looking for some delicious and authentic Italian street food in Manchester Arndale, then Wolf is the place to be. They offer a variety of options including wraps, salads, and pizzas. I've tried their pizza and it was excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful too. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!”

“Local off licence under new management. Highly recommended”

“Popped in before Christmas while visiting family in the area. Great selection of wines and spirits, including a range of local products. Good recommendations & extremely friendly service, even with it being busy. Located on the corner with steps down into the shop, can be easily missed, however their sign is at street level so keep your eyes peeled. Hot Mulled wine was also delicious, highly recommend!”

“Very good shop friendly staff but a bit dear”
