63 Degrees in Manchester

Our experience was exceptional from beginning to end - from the great cocktails to the starters (don’t miss the lobster soup!) and outstanding main courses. Our chef came by in this intimate setting and made the night extra special. We’re visiting Manchester, but will return to 63 Degrees any time we’re here.

Nice little french restaurant. The waitress Anaelle was very friendly, good service! Waiting time was ok and the food was good. Side dishes were quite small . A little expensive but in total a very nice restaurant!

I do not live in Manchester, but I go to 63 Degrees every time that I am there to visit family. It is a great place which is tremendous value. I would not want to go anywhere else.

Gorgeous traditional styling. Service was excellent, friendly and very professional. Chef was delightlful and food was perfect. It is very like the traditional bistros you can find in Paris if you get away from the tourist traps. Cocktails spot on, great wine list, food perfect, lovely cheese board, then desert, then coffee, then digestif then one for the road... Thoroughly receommend.

The food was exceptional and our waiter was so kind and professional. Will definitely be returning!

We shared an excellent Cote de Boeuf, and a glass of a lovely St Emilion. Friendly staff and great cooking - what's not to like.

We had starters and main. Service was great, however flavours were a little average and slightly overpriced.

Delicious lunch! The owner is very friendly with much information provided.

63 degrees have a consistency like any other top restaurant - great food and good value for money

Really great lunch today. Excellent food and service. It was a great place to catch up with old friends.

Fantastic place!!! Definitely will be back 😀

I was quite disappointed to be honest. Lobster soup was very odd..more like a stew with a pastry too!!! & the lobster was overcooked & chewy. Salmon starter was good. Scallops for the main course more like a starter size with only 4 scallops!! I was expecting French cuisine Won’t be returning

We tried several dishes and all were delicious , very friendly atmosphere and good value

It's always a pleasure to eat at 63 Degrees. I had the Tuesday 5 course tasting menu this time, and thoroughly enjoyed every course. I'll be back again!

Went purposely for the tasting menu and wine pairing. Just did not do it fot me. No doubt they do nice food. Just avoid the tasting menu.

A taste of Paris in Manchester. Proper restaurant!

We had a lovely meal. The waitress was very attentive with topping up water and wine as soon as needed. Menu had a good selection and waitress was able to explain all the dishes in good detail. Fillet steak and scallops were cooked to perfection and came quickly. Atmosphere was good with a well established floor plan and not much ambient noise so conversation was easy. 63 degrees deserves the high rating it holds.

Wonderful dinner! Very delicious! The waiter is very nice, kind and handsome! It is an excellent experience in all.

Very good French restaurant. The staff is very friendly

We enjoyed a delightful lunch at 63 Degrees. This is a really exceptional restaurant. Although it could seem to be a somewhat intimidating establishment the chef and front of house are warm, welcoming and so passionate. The food is very good. Classic but interesting. A fantastic wine menu. And brilliant service. Eat here

The food was wonderful and the staff were lovely. Annaelle who served us was so helpful and very attentive. Would definitely recommend a meal here!

Took my wife for her birthday on a Friday night. The food and experience was amazing!!! Will be coming back for the taster menu experience. Would recommend 100%

Let's start at the beginning; this place is not cheap. The question is, is it worth going anyway? To that, I say that it is. The key thing to note is that what you're buying is modestly sized amounts of very good food. I boxed off a risotto starter, then the steak for two (on my own) and the crème brûlée, alongside two cocktails and a bottle of water. I'm not a big guy, but that was a manageable amount. If you want to pay a similar amount of money, go to the Ivy or 20 Stories or Climat. The food won't be as good, but the portions will be slightly larger. If you want to have the same quality and pay less, head to Sparrows or Medlock Canteen. The drinks here are excellent. If we're finding criticisms, the menu is a little vodka-heavy, but the drinks we had were well designed, generously proportioned and beautifully mixed. The space is small, just 20 cover or so, but the music is kept low and the lighting is fairly bright, so you won't feel either overwhelmed or like you're in a dungeon. FoH staff are attentive and do a good job. They're clearly well trained without being fussy. Chefs take pride in their work, but both food and presentation is simple and uncomplicated. In terms of the three tests (would I eat here again myself, would I take a foodie friend from out of town and would I come here if I only had a week to live), it certainly passes the first two. It doesn't muscle its way onto the final list, but that says more about how much top notch food there is in Manchester now than it does about 63°. 4.5*/5, only losing that half a star because the prices push down the overall value.

63 Degrees is my go to restaurant when I want a special meal. The food is amazing, as are its choice of wines and the service. The menu always offers interesting and delicious dishes, making it difficult to choose! On this occasion I had Caesar salad with Lobster - so tasty as were the courgette muffins as a side dish. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Attentive staff and lovely meal. Only regret is not trying the chef's specials as feel I missed out!

Staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. I had the tasting menu with the wine pairing which was very enjoyable. The tomato tartlet and the scallop courses were definitely the stars of the menu. Definitely will return next time I am in Manchester

We went for my son's birthday dinner. Our experience was absolutely amazing and the restaurant / team exceeded our expectations.The service, the food, the atmosphere, the wine..top class. A very nice music was playing in the background quietly. Just perfect. My special request to mark my son's birthday was executed very well. 5* and huge thank you for making our dinner so special.

We've eaten here three time now and never been disappointed. Fabulous, creative food in an comfortable setting with knowledgeable and informative staff. We will be back!

All that we had was beautifully presented and excellently cooked . Service was attentive and professional.

We had reserved with good notice and given information on allergies and we received a response to say they could cater. On arrival, there were hardly any options and chef had to come out and explain in more detail. In the end we got there but it wasn’t straight forward at the start. Unfortunately there was only 1 other couple there Food was decent- the 20% off a la cart and lunch set menu were very helpful and made it more affordable.

Really disappointing meal. My partner and I have been to plenty Michelin rated restaurants and this is the bottom ranking for sure. Went for my partner and I’s anniversary meal - the food felt like a glorified pub menu/cote brasserie. It was nothing special, especially considering the price. My main was dry and room temp but my partner’s was nice. We ordered mocktails but they were just a mixture of juices, they could definitely benefit from some more inventive mocktails (try something with ginger beer, grapefruit or soda water???). I don’t usually review places but after a bill of over £130 I felt it needed to be done. If you’re after a true Michelin experience, go to Erst instead!

A friendly welcome, Dishes cooked with a certain delicacy, However, particularly high prices considering the portions served...and even if it corresponded to a "tasting" at 48 GBP.

This authentic French restaurant is located in the trendy Northern Quarter. We both chose scallops as a main course which were beautifully cooked and presented. Desserts are not to missed in this restaurant. We had a crème brulée and a chocolate sphere, they were both excellent. We will definitely visit again when next in Manchester.

Fabulous menu, food, service ....restaurant situated in the Northern Quarter. We were so glad we chose to eat at 63. Very sophisticated flavours and quality ingredients...Manchester dining at its best...French cuisine...no nonsense food...a great dining experience.

Very friendly welcome. Expertly cooked ribeye. Delicious wine.

Nicely prepared and tasty food, very small portions other than dessert, which maybe equates to cost….Tasting menu lacked fresh vegetables which was disappointing. Unfortunately not as expected, but not something I would complain about.

Excellent food, with very good service.

Checking Reviews in Google,Visited 63 Degrees with Family. Below is my Feedback. 1) Climate was Rainy and Expected HOT food but all the items Except Apollo Fish Served Cool. 2) Except Starters Main Course was not Tasty... 3) Staff should be trained on HYGIENE and NEATLINESS. POOR Cleaning of used Welcome Drink Glasses by the STAFF.

i would not recommend this place at all! im truly shocked its on the Michelin guide. should taken off. the steak was good, but zero flavour had to add a lot salt. the snails, awful again no flavour. the cauliflower was just watery and bland. the spiced beef was shocking it was 99% cold veg and a tiny bit of beef. also No flavour at all! everything was super tasteless! would not recommend. AT £200 for 5 people. the food should flavour and enjoyable. save your self a lot of money by going to street urchin and half the price. Gutted.

On our friend's birthday, he wanted to eat French cuisine, so we chose 63 Degrees, one of the highly-rated French restaurants in Manchester. To celebrate, we brought a birthday cake. Upon entering, the waiter informed us that it would be £12.50 per person to eat our own cake, equivalent to their average dessert price. We had no other choice but to accept the cost unless we walked out of the restaurant. However, when the bill arrived, we were charged £13.00 per person instead. The issue is not only the cost but most importantly, misleading us and the refusal to correct it when we pointed it out. Regarding the food, it was disappointing and not worth the price. The starters included a yellow risotto that tasted sweet and strange, foie gras that was cold and flavorless, and escargot that, although decent, was fried and not fresh. The main dishes, like the pigeon burger, beef burger, and scallops, were just average. We provided feedback to the waiter about the starters. Hopefully they will improve their starters. When it came to the wine selection, we wanted to purchase a bottle to share amongst us. Unlike other restaurants I have been to, they did not allow us to taste different selections of wines before choosing a bottle. I feel that it is an unusual policy and off-putting for those who want to select a nice wine and are unfamiliar with the brands of selection they have. Lastly, the restaurant did not acknowledge my friend's birthday with a song or any special gesture, or even happy birthday wishes. While this may seem minor, it added to the overall disappointment for the lack of hospitality. Service wise, it was moderately slow and we have to walk to the bar counter several times to request refills for water. Given these experiences, I would not recommend 63 Degrees for celebrating birthdays or any special occasions. Honestly, look elsewhere in Manchester that’s worth your money.

Four of us came on July 14 hoping for a Fete Nationale- type of meal 🇫🇷 The only reason that I’ve given it four stars is because there was no nod at all to the Fete Nationale which was a shame. We are all Francophiles, two of us speaking French so we were delighted to have some opportunity to speak some French with the waiter and the chef patron. We had the set menu, which, whilst offering fairly small portions - we had to pay extra for vegetables- was quite delicious. I had the chicken in a sauce and shared the Gratin Dauphinoise and the seasonal vegetables with my partner – absolutely yummy. Yum.😋 The décor was lovely ❤️. So hard to find a good French restaurant in central Manchester so am very pleased that this one still exists! Merci x

Very average. Some dishes good, others disappointing. Even wines very average sold at too steep prices. This establishment would not survive long in ‘la douce France’. Will not return and can’t recommend.

Service was very professional and friendly. She was always there when we needed something but did not push us. Liked especially our starters, the main courses were good tuo. And finally we got a nice birthday surprise. Recommend.

A French fine cuisine restaurant in Northern quarter. It’s far from mediocre but always disappoints you in some unexpected way. For example the Japanese Wagyu is tender and tasty but it could be better if the temperature can be up few degrees. The escargot( the snail ) has been presented in unusual way, impressive with rich layers of taste. But again the temperature is not in the right level. Maybe it’s my fault to have this dinner at early 6pm-ish to be the first client of evening. The kitchen is just warming up yet.

Extraordinaria experiencia, maridaje espectacular con el menú de degustación. El chef estuvo siempre pendiente y conversó con nosotros varias veces. La hamburguesa de wagyu está increíble.

We went here for dinner on Saturday evening after going last year and really enjoying it, but I have to say we were very disappointed. We weren't shown any of the specials and the lobster salad which is very expensive at £20 and we had 2 of them as it was delicious last time was so tasteless just a load of lettuce with a tiny bit of lobster. The stew was awful just lamb chunks not very soft in like an olive tasting water my husband left it. It was also our wedding anniversary and no mention nothing at all for that. We will not return.

Excellent food and drink. The food is a fusion of taste and that’s the key to enjoying this place. Sampling things together that maybe on your plate and tasting the explosion.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. We had the Tasty Thursday menu, but we felt it was not enough so we ordered also a cheese platter. But an extra payment of 18 pound for 4 small pieces of cheeses and a bit of bread is too much. But the restaurant is a great alternative when you want to each French for a change!

Sophisticated cuisine in a good atmosphere. They are not large quantities but this kitchen is like that. Recommended for something different

The food was interesting,well cooked and delicious. One of our party was going to try the wagyu but hasn't realised how expensive it was. The member of staff was excellent both in not embarrassing her buy also offering an alternative in the wagyu burger where she could try the meat but be comfortable with the cost. She's not really a burger person but the dish was not at aĺl like a burger and was delicious. We enjoyed all our dishes including a very unusual risotto and a fantastic chocolate sphere. We had great cocktails and really excellent selection of wine by the glass as well as the bottle. Staff were friendly, efficient and the right level of attentive. The restaurant was very quiet later in the evening so not much of a buzz but it deserves to be full. It's not cheap but it is excellent. We would visit again if we are visiting Manchester again.

my sort of restaurant; food cooked very well and presented well. Friendly service but not intrusive and a relaxed ambience.

Lovely food. Extensive wine list Quiet until 19.30.

Nicely prepared authentic French bistro dishes. The five course Tuesday tasting menu is of good value. The pea soup en chocolate desert were highlights. Home made foie gras is tasty. Service is friendly but overall feeling and ambiance somewhat lackluster.

Wonderful meal and atmosphere. So nice to go out and not have to shout to have a conversation. No loud music, no loud phone conversations all the time; just quality food and drink, very attentive and knowledgeable staff. The chef and owner preparing and cooking meals with a personal touch.

The quality of the food at 63 Degrees is consistently excellent and the welcome from the chef patron is always warm I was there for a special occasion and was made very welcome.

We ate from the lunch menu. Short range of choices, but still enough to satisfy us. At £32 for three courses it was a reasonable price. Service was seamless and attentive. It was very quiet, which is a little sad, as 63 Degrees deserves to be supported. We will call in again, when we are in Manchester during the day.

The finest meal I have had in a long time and definitely the best French restaurant food I’ve ever had, I have eaten at many of the top restaurants and a few Michelin starred ones and this meal was up there with my absolute favourites,had amazing foie gras starter and my partner had lobster chaser salad and they were sublime, had Dover sole and she had the monkfish and they were delicious beautiful and memorable for all the right reasons and the chocolate bomb dessert was my all time best ever dessert fantastic cocktails and the most delicious wine pairing with the foie gras, wonderful unobtrusive service, all in all a perfect birthday celebration,I highly recommend this restaurant it’s a hidden gem. Thanks 63 degrees you smashed it ❤️🙌

Wonderful intimate restaurant with great food and service.

The meal was fine but I always believe the hot food should be served on hot plates.

After reading all the excellent reviews we were a little underwhelmed. Nothing bad, it's worth a visit and nothing wrong, food was good but very pricey for what you get. We done the taster menu with wine flight and didn't feel the food matched the price. We didn't get anything extra like bread or pre dessert etc which alot of other places offer. The food and wine wasn't really explained for each course. The dessert was changed without us being told as they ran out of the one on our menu. Was still a good evening but guess our expectations were high after reading the reviews.

Excellent evening with great food, wine and service.

The staff were very polite and the food was ok but it is very overpriced for what you get. Set menu of 2 courses for £28 ended up being £41 as the chicken dish was just a piece of chicken in sauce and potatoes were £6.50 for very small dauphinoise and then £6.50 for veg. Cheapest wine was £41 for a fairly ordinary wine. There is better value nearby.

Good service, knowledgeable and friendly staff. The food had no taste and was very over priced. Small portion sizes.

Second time at this restaurant, very good again, this time we went for lunch. One had a la carte two had set lunch, downside was scallop salad for main, very good scallops but I think 3 scallops for a main course isn’t acceptable, yes it was the set lunch but we still ended up spending £300 and two of the three only had 2 course, so yes a little let down.

Fabulous food. So delicious and outstanding customer service

Staff very professional and attentive. Food is fantastic, presentation beautiful and very tasty. Recommend to anyone who enjoys great experience.

Delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere, I really recommend the 63 degrees chicken and the cheeseboard.

Food is fantastic, beautifully presented, and exceptional quality.

En tant qu'amateur de cuisine française, ce restaurant au cœur de Manchester m'a rappelé quelques grandes adresses françaises. L'entrée était particulièrement réussie avec les choux, qui apportaient une texture intéressante et une légère acidité. La purée de patate douce était savamment assaisonnée et s'accordait parfaitement avec le filet de sole, généreusement farci. Le dessert, une sphère chocolat à la pêche, était tout simplement incroyable - un vrai coup de cœur ! Le chocolat chaud au caramel qui accompagnait la sphère, permettant de la faire fondre, était absolument parfait. Rarement ai-je goûté des desserts aussi délicieux. De plus, le personnel était sympathique et le service était rapide. Personnellement, je vous recommande vivement cet endroit.

Lovely restaurant and really felt like you were in France. The food was outstanding and wine selection. We will definitely be visiting again soon !

The best French restaurant I know is in Manchester. It's worth a visit every time. The food and service are excellent. The cocktails too. Best regards from Hamburg ...

Fantastic food and fantastic service. I had some special requests and everything was handled perfectly. Very well looked after by Eric and his team.

As usual the quality of the food was excellent - we all had the tasting menu. The only slight criticism was the portions were very small (they seemed smaller than usual for the tasting menu) - it needed a small garnish of veg with the Volaille 63 Degrees. The Foie Gras, Cod and Chocolate / Pear orb were fabulous. I may be being picky but the pumpkin veloute could have done with a little something (like a herb oil ?) to lift it to 63 Degrees normal standard. Eric (Chef / Patron) was his usual charming self !

We chose a special place for a special occasion and it didn't disappoint. The food was superb, the service attentive but not excessive and we left delighted with the evening.

I spent my birthday here and it was our first time after passing by and being intrigued! This is a very legit French restaurant and I loved that it’s family owned and operated. The front of house staff were very friendly and helpful, and we had a fab evening. I really enjoyed everything we had, but the standout was the celeriac starter which was beautifully presented as well as delicious. The steak I had for the main was perfectly cooked - my husband got the chicken and said it was the best chicken he’s had in a restaurant! We also had a little birthday surprise with a big indoor sparkler and macarons, which was so sweet and the staff were obviously keeping it a surprise as long as possible, my husband didn’t have a clue! We will definitely be back.

It is really good. Highly recommended.

Superb genuine French dining at it's best with an excellently chosen drinks menu

Incredible food and wonderful service, best wagyu in town, thank you very much

We were completely underwhelmed and disappointed with our experience at 63 Degrees. Considering the price of the dishes, the size of our meals was laughable and not worth our money. Specifically, the cod main wasn’t a full cod fillet and I could find a bigger, better quality at a local supermarket for a cheaper price than £23. We had ordered a side of dauphinois potatoes to share which was literally one small, dry potato which was not big enough to share between two people. We also ordered a side of pan-fried vegetables to share which in actual fact was a small bowl of boiled winter veg (described on our receipt as “winter veg”) despite it being spring and not what we had ordered. Overall the meal was abismal and derailed our one night visiting Manchester for the weekend as we spent the remainder of our evening looking for a place to get a late night tea because we were starving.

On first entering and a trip to the toilet, the restaurant feels worn and tired. Our greeter and server was polite and mainly professional, however, forgot to ask our measure of wine and assumed 175ml, we realised when paying bill, as expected 125ml, due to driving. We had the set menu. Chicken terrine was bland, we had to order sides as extras ££ (root veg sub par and tasteless) with the main course dishes (should be included), with a standard dessert of creme brulee. Overall, I felt the experience was overpriced and below par. Very disappointed. I would not be able able to recommend to others or return. We were shocked to discover after wed had left, that this was an alleged Michelin star restaurant....shocked!

Marvellous, classy, clever but unfussy food, excellent wines, exemplary service and good value. Highly recommended. Update: Still the most delicious, authentic French cooking I've had outside France. Very stylish and well worth the money.

The food was very poor .The wine we ordered was not avalable (Chablis) for a bill of over£324.00 was a poor reflection of the food offered.

Went for Lunch. Good wines and fab truffle risotto

The service was good, the waiter very welcoming. Good presentation of dishes and options. Cocktails very good. As French we can say that the meal itself was OK. Not exceptional, but good. Snails and oysters as starters, Wagyu and Scallops as dishes, cheese and chocolate fondant to finish. At the end of the meal the Chef went around the tables (4) but did not consider it necessary to come see us. Too bad for the lack of consideration and respect.

Had a nice meal here at the food was decent. Wasn’t blown away by it, but it was nice. The ambience and decor was a bit lacking. Not terrible, but wouldn’t be in a rush to return

Had a really lovely evening. The atmosphere was warm and unpretentious, and the food was excellent.

It was ok. Was it worth £150 for two people (including two glasses of wine)? No. The food was ok, but lacked shine and care. The foie gras starter was ok… four slices of foie gras with some bread. Imagine if it has been pan fried, on a toasted brioche. Just unimaginative and fine. The egg and mushrooms were ok. Imagine if it had been pan fried wild mushrooms with garlic and herbs. Instead it was cold and resembled Campbells condensed mushroom soup. The steak was ok. It was overdone for rare, especially at a French restaurant! Was it worth £42? No chance The chicken was ok, maybe the better of the choices we made. The wine was nice. The salad was ok. The “pan fried veg” were some steamed carrots and swede. We didn’t even touch those. Thankfully they were taken off the menu. Felt like it was a good restaurant, at some point recently. I feel bad judging a place on a single visit, but this clearly wasn’t this place at its best. I think the chef was on holiday and someone was left holding the fort. Won’t be coming back.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, pricey but worth it.

Very cozy place, excellent service. In regards to the food selection it was a little bit small. We adored the asparagus and feta and the black truffle risotto to start with, but the mains were more or less disappointing. The chicken and the duck were not amazing.

Beautifully cooked set lunch and excellent service.

Not sure it was Michelin star level. Lack of snails in the starter - mainly mushrooms and carrots. My daughter had the lobster soup which took twenty minutes but the soup was a consommé and really disappointing. Prices were high so will not be returning. Dull

Service was excellent, this is the 3rd time I have eaten here and previously really enjoyed everything about the restaurant, however last nights meal was disappointing the steaks were almost blue and not medium rare as ordered. I was offered a free glass of champagne and not offered my meal to changed

2e fois et toujours aussi bon ! Un régal ! Un délice ! Une oasis française au cœur de Manchester 😍

The staff are incredibly rude , we ordered the rib-eye steak for 2 and it was unseasoned not cooked how we asked for it to be cooked and if definitely was not £82 worth of steak to be honest I’ve had better steak from the supermarket The entire time we was there not once did any member of staff come to ask how our food was or if we needed anything else Service was incredibly poor and when we complained about the steak the chef came out to our table very angry and tried to snatch the food from our table Do not waste your money in this restaurant never been so poorly treated in a restaurant in my life

This is a very special little restaurant, tucked away in the Manchester’s Northern Quarter, once inside you are taken to a cosy French restaurant that oozes charm. The menu is classic, short and always some specials on the board, I jumped on the black truffle risotto - I am huge risotto fan - and it was lovely. It’s not cheap, but far from expensive for this quality of food. Will be going back for more, and would recommend to anyone wanting to find something a little bit different in the NQ.

A bit pricier than our usual meals out, but every bite was delicious and worth it.

delicious and intimate i will be back - thank you

The standard of the food at 63 Degrees is consistently high. Recommended for anyone who appreciates quality in their food and drink.

Delicious food and excellent service, we will be back!

Very tasty. we were the only two Chinese in the audience. And we were very moved when we heard a Chinese song by Jay Chou.
