Albert’s Didsbury Restaurant & Bar in Manchester

Visited Albert’s in Didsbury with my daughter today and we both enjoyed the new lunch menu. Mike was a very pleasant and attentive server who tended to our needs throughout.

Excellent bar/restaurant. Lovely food, reasonably priced, attentive staff, lovely decor and ambience. Well recommended.

We had booked a table for 5 people one afternoon, we were well looked after however service was a little slow but it was extremely busy so we were fine with that and staff were very apologetic, food very good and lovely relaxing atmosphere, never felt rushed at all. They gave us a 10% discount off the bill because of the slow service, we would have been absolutely fine paying the full bill but this was a great gesture. We are not local however would definitely return if in the area again.

Menu updated since last time but kept favourites of Malayan chicken and cheese and onion pie. I had the salmon fillet with mussels and cider cream. Absolutely delicious and the portions are just right so you don't feel too full.

We had a fantastic dining experience at Albert’s in Didsbury. The food was delicious and Evie the waitress was wonderful. Evie was helpful, happy and smiley and we weren’t rushed, which is always appreciated. The manager (I can’t remember his name) was also happy, smiley and funny. So nice to eat in a place with a lovely ambiance and happy staff!

Evie was lovely. Albert's never fails.

Despite a busy Sunday service, our waitress was thorough, attentive and constantly smiling. It was nice to see none of the staff rushed off their feet. Sunday roast was excellent, great portion size, good flavours and the beef was beautifully cooked. Our seating was also carefully considered, the restaurant was clearly busy but we felt like we had room to move and were not overlooked or squashed in any way. I will definitely visit again if ever in the area. Thank you

Platter - barely warm food. Cauliflower cheese red hot.(too hot). Ambience, service 10/10. Food very disappointing.

We visit here often the food is amazing as well as the service highly recommended 😀

Beautiful place! Sunday roast platter is great and nice food and atmosphere. Great for a sunny day and loads of outdoor sitting.

Excellent lunch menu, fantastic food and drinks, really upped their game in Albert’s we all really enjoyed it after not being all year and will be back asap

Came with my brother tonight and had such a lovely time. The food was amazing and Leo who served us was lovely - very helpful and professional!

Delicious roast dinner with amazing service from Giuseppe. He was so kind, funny and welcoming! Definitely will be coming again soon!

Our first time eating at Alberts, we are here visiting from the south coast, food is amazing and lovely service. We parked just down the road as car park is small. We just wish we had an Alberts near us, we will definitely return when we are here again. 👌

Food, atmosphere and drinks were top notch however the component that made our experience truly exceptional was Carlos’ service. A beautiful man inside and out! Wonderful in every way

The service was amazing and the place inside is very cosy. It can get crowded especially Friday evenings so it is a bit noisy but we had a great time. The starters were so tasty I would really recommend (crab croquette and focaccia). The mains (lamb ragu and steak) were also nice but I think the ragu could have a bit more meat. Generally we had a good experience and we would go back.

The place itself is lovely, and the staff are all brilliant. The food however was disappointing. Chips a small round cheese and onion pie and a smear of pea puree for £16.

Fantastic breakfast. Quality of food and service was awesome. Great setting & vibe

Had a beautiful meal here, staff couldn’t do enough very friendly .Absolutely stunning inside! Really nice atmosphere.

We had a great birthday lunch today with friends. The food was delish. Michael was fantastic went out of us his way to make sure we had a good time. we have been a few times but he really stood out with his service.

I love this restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, light and airy. The staff can't do enough for you. We had a mid-week lunch 5. The food was delicious. 2 of us had a Prawn Thai curry, scrumptious. All enjoyed the food.

Had a great time and the service was perfect from all the staff and they are all great cheers guys

Lovely people serving Evie and Croesia

Booked a table by phone. Friendly welcome. Good to find that there is some onsite parking. Food was perfectly OK. I did enjoy my burger. Price wise the food was not overly expensive but the drinks definitely were. No complaints about the service it was efficient and delivered with attention and ease.

Albert’s offers great variety of food in a classy environment and setting, I’ve been multiple times for a range of occasions: family visiting; out for quick dinner with friends; drinks and it is outstanding every time I go. Really good location, if a local to Didsbury with street parking available nearby, in addition to a small parking on premises, if not a local. The food menu covers all bases and the drinks menu offers great variety The pricing is reasonable and the environment is welcoming

Love the chilled ambience and the beautiful decoration there. They have some outdoor sitting as well. Staff is helpful and friendly. Price is reasonable. I would definitely go back again.

Absolutely loved our visit. The food was great, amazing service and I would recommend this restaurant and I would definitely go back.

Had a wonderful lunch special. Excellent food and service. Very good value for money

Food was a bit eclectic. Great table on the terrace but let down when the waiter said we couldn’t move out of the heat of the sun. In the end we upped and moved ourselves to a different table on the patio. Wouldn’t rush back

Amazing place and food and service - thank you Mike! See you next time.

Food was average, below expected for price.

Great place to eat but you have to book in advance

Well worth a visit. Try and book ahead

From start to finish simply brilliant, a perfect way to spend Sunday lunch. From the warm welcome from the host on the desk to everyone who served us at the table, all an asset to your business. All of us enjoyed the food, the roasts were excellent as were the starters, I’d recommend the sharing roast! The ambience perfect with the live vocalist. We will be back.

Last minute. Impromptu decision to eat here. Fabulous food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff 5 ⭐️

Good ambeance, good service and good food.

Excellent lunch with the family. Good value for money. Great service from Tom.

We had a large family get together last Saturday here. It was our first time and we loved it. The restaurant is large and airy and has a really nice atmosphere is spacious and light. The food was lovely. The staff are amazing. We would definitely go back in a heartbeat.

We didn't enjoy it here. Seemed like overpriced microwaved food with no service. I had to ask for basic things, like a knife and fork. Albert's seems to have this thing going on of young adults who come here to drink. It seems to be a social thing, about status. The girls wear nice albeit quite skimpy outfits, the guys look dapper but slightly chavvy. Dapper chavs? Not sure if I'm describing it well. Essexy vibe? It's definitely not our thing: we go to a restaurant to relax, eat food food, and enjoy the dining experience.

Thanks Carlos, excellent service and food was excellent too!

Wonderful experience- can’t wait to dine here again.

Cannot fault this place. We had the fixed price three course lunch and it was absolutely delicious. I had the fish (sea bass, I think) and it was done to perfection. The service was fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and attentive. The food and drinks arrived promptly, but at no point did we feel rushed. The restaurant is very well set out, so that you have privacy and space to talk and everything was spotless. Highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere nice to go in Didsbury.

Very good as usual. Excellent cheffing, deft service. ambinence improved (more material to soak upi noise). The only fly in the ointment was a "Card Only" notice spotted on entry and then, for apperatifs before other guests arrrived, they would NOT accept my [nor any colour] platinum American Express card! So they got legal tender and said "no change" - so nothing to tip with!

Always great, lovely food and setting

I attended Albert’s Didsbury with some old work friends for a special occasion. The food was delightful as always and the staff were amazing. I was super impressed with the service provided, I’d like to thank Giuseppe for looking after us. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone out for a meal where the table host was well mannered, lovely to speak to and genuinely cared about providing a high level of service.

Very nice restaurant in Didsbury, menu was very varied and not too expensive. The food was very fresh and tasted great, I would highly recommend the sesame fried chicken. Just a shame they do not take Amex

came here for a yummers roast, slayed just like zak’s, mike’s and nik’s impeccable service. 10/10 would scran again

Amazing atmosphere, great service from Giuseppe very professional fun and attentive to our nerds. Great food!

Really lovely staff, great food and beautiful terrace

Lovely food, responsable prices. Giuseppe was fantastic - lovely and patient with us!

Our first time at Albert's and was pleasantly surprised, the food was delicious and our server for the evening Tom was wonderful. Will definitely have to come back.

Food was lovely and the service was good although it took over 45mins for the food to arrive. We sat outside and enjoyed looking at the amazing hanging baskets and planted borders. It's a pity the fake greenery on the terrace was so tangled and naff!

Ended up here after finding first choices closed - no regrets whatsoever! Super-friendly staff, fantastic food with great veggie and vegan options and a fresh interior.

Visited on Sunday for the roast…The young waiter serving outside was lovely/attentive. The rabbit gnocchi to start and sticky toffee pudding were great but the roast was disappointing, 2 tiny pieces of beef and roasties that were still hard in the middle. Wouldn’t recommend for a roast.

Great food service and atmosphere. Good prices which surprised me as everything really good. Staff really friendly but appropriate. Will visit again and no concerns re recommending to others

Good service ,friendly staff ,good food 👍

Came today with my friend and the waiter was really polite and friendly. Couldn’t do enough to keep us happy. Food was out of this world delicious. I really enjoyed it. Had a lovely afternoon. The lunch menu is absolutely amazing and great value for money

Food absolutely excellent but somewhat tarnished by the negative service. The Italian waiter bald headed was superb but let down surprisingly by the manager who was arrogant . Visit made today

We were welcomed in by staff, who were very friendly and helpful.The service was very good.the meal was excellent and well presented.

Six years ago my review read this "Beautiful good. Friendly service. Clean" Earlier this year it would have read similar. However today it's definitely not the same place, food quality and service. I brought my friends from Hong Kong to what I thought was my favourite restaurant. What an embarrassing mistake. The waiter that took the order presented as unhappy and quite frankly rude. We got over it. We ordered from the lunch menu. The goats cheese salad started arrive. Tasteless and we stuggled to find the mean sprinkle of goats cheese. My fish and chips was a bowl of grease and water. Couldn't eat it. The sea was an extremely mean portion served with two bits of potato. My poor guests left hungry and disappointed 😞. I was embarrassed. I won't be rushing back.

Food was actually ok BUT we came here for a birthday celebration. The restaurant said they would bring something after the meal and we confirmed this twice when there and they still didn’t do anything. Just a big let down for a special meal.

Lovely location, great outside space. Decor inside was modern and fresh. Food was really good, very tasty and service was quick and efficient. Staff pleasant and cheerful. Toilets were clean as was the rest of the venue. Busy for a Sunday lunch, appears to be a great place for a catch up with family or friends. There was some subtle live music playing which was nice too. It was a warm day and inside became exceptionally warm(not sure how the kitchen staff cope), the air con could do with being a little more efficient. There is a car park but it's not huge, there is also some on street parking. All in all, would recommend, great afternoon.

Lovely al fresco meal, excellent service will be back

Ate here a couple of weekends ago, had the sea bass which incredible, great atmosphere and after chatting to the young chap Tom we felt right at home, lovely to meet a fellow Liverpudlian. 10/10 would recommend

Great food and good service. Live entertainment too on a Sunday afternoon

Over priced food for the portion size

Had Sunday roast dinner, had a really relaxed afternoon. It's lovely to see dogs are allowed outside seating area 😀

Albert's has always been one of our favourite restaurants to dine at. The menu has depth and innovation. Our children enjoy the Make-Your-Own-Pizza as it encourages a sense of creativity and excitement. Naturally, this benefits us too as it allows us to indulge without being interrupted 😂. The service is rather slow and questionable, considering they are well established. It would be prudent to book in advance, but on occasion, I have rocked up and got a reasonable table. However, this was on a Tuesday, and it was quieter. Overall, great food and atmosphere, The only improvements, in my opinion, are more attentive staff with a desire to be available and visible. Excluding this, I would highly recommend a visit to Albert's

Lovely meal at Alberts Didsbury, fantastic service from Mike 👍

Love Alberts but weren't so keen on the new menu as not as much choice to choose from, especially if you want a change from a Roast dinner. The menus provided was a set menu without the option to select from the other menu. We understand this is probably led by cost savings and what may be most popular dishes, but we will be going elsewhere for the foreseeable. Hopefully when the season changes the usual menu creativity and choices will be available again. When we visit Alberts, we want to "enjoy" the 3-courses instead of settling for dishes that are just ok. I had booked a birthday meal for next month but will definitely be cancelling that now and will book somewhere else that does provide a wider variety of choices.

Arrived at a empty restaurant to be told fully booked

A lovely lovely restaurant! Loved the cocktails, service from Zak was fab. We saw the table beside us making their own kids pizza which i thought was a great idea. Can't wait to return. We didn't take too many photos of inside as people were eating so didnt want to be rude but it was so lovely inside.

Ordered fish and chips was so disappointed the fish was really fishy and a strange grey colour the waitress told me it was fresh I really doubt that wouldn't bother going back.

Good food and service, as usual. Great place.

Lovely food and staff very helpful

Alberts is a beautiful restaurant and the staff are amazing. The prices are really reasonable and affordable, and the food gorgeous. The only downside was that I and 9 friends went to celebrate a friend's 50th birthday. The birthday girl received a lovely complimentary birthday brownie and as we proceeded to sing "Happy Birthday" to her. We were promptly asked to be quiet by a member of staff as there was a Didsbury occasion (not sure of the actual name of the occasion) also being held in the restaurant who had complained about the singing and asked the staff member to ask us to stop singing as it was too loud. That totally shocked us all, as we were there to celebrate an occasion, we were not near the other occasion inside the restaurant. That incident ruined the rest of the evening, and has put us off returning. If it was a private function that was being held (there were people with quite large cameras, taking photographs which appeared to be the case), may we suggest that in - future celebrations are not recommended when Private functions are being held. This ruined our friend's birthday meal totally

No variety of food or starter,compare to other restaurants not worth it at all, very pricey

Had the Malaysian curry ..last time was amazing..this time hardly any sauce over the rice and a few slices of chicken ...very dry ..not impressed :(

Lovely Sunday roast, great service

It was a lovely day to sit outside and have lunch, all good 👍

Been to Alberts many times over the years for cocktails but this is the first time for evening meal. Grandparents, two adults and three kids all catered for last week and everything was lovely. Staff really efficient and helpful and we even managed to stay behind for a few cocktails child free. Thankyou

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch here the 21st April. Have not been here for ages and we were celebrating 2 Birthdays. So we decided to book here. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated at a great window location. All the staff were friendly and professional and seemed very happy in their roles. We all ordered the Sunday lunch with a generous order of sides options. I would like to say that the allergy protocols in place are spot and carried out very well. As an allergy sufferer I feel very confident in eating here and recommending to others. The food was fabulous and very tasty. Service very good. The dessert I had was a total dessertgasm for me. Lavender pancotta with rhubarb and shortbread biscuits with stem ginger. The flavour pairings were amazing. Two of ladies were celebrating their Birthdays and the lady waiting our table brought them a complimentary Birthday Brownie which just added even more to a wonderful Sunday afternoon dining experience. Thank you for making the experience a memorable one.

Lovely food, great table service and good atmosphere. I personally loved the sieve between customers

Foul customer service, average food. Bit of a shame as it’s a very nice setting. Let down specifically by a blond lady who rudely told us to move tables which remained empty the entire time we were there. Steer clear of the small plates, they are all cold and tasteless. For desserts, stay away from profiteroles that taste a week old. Do try the sticky toffee pudding!

Nice restaurant and good service had sea bass main which was very nice had profiteroles for dessert (bad decision as wasn't really hungry) and they badly let down the experience. I presume they were bought in and noone had bothered to taste them, they were rock hard stodgy and basically inedible. Would go again but not bother with dessert. Found prices to be very reasonable.

Great lunchtime/early menu. Fantastic value! Steak fries, the steak melted like butter. Fab starters. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The only thing for me was... That the puddings were tiny... really tiny!!! Very limited car park spaces onsite for the size of the venue

Diabolical. As we sat down, told there is no chicken at all in any variant, No fish and chips and various other bits. They should have phoned to warn before we arrived. Won't be coming back. Cant blame the waitress though.

Went here today for a family birthday staff where really helpful and pleasant but the food was so disappointing there was 12 of us so we all had different dishes and not 1 of us enjoyed it. the Sunday roast was bland and the beef was so tough you couldn't chew it the steak was just as bad I will not be returning witch is sad because this could be a great place

Pleasant evening in lovely surroundings with helpful service

Nice food and drink. Good venue to meet with friends and family

I don’t want to lavish too many complements as we are having trouble booking a table!! Seasons greetings go to all the team, and it is the total synergy makes perfect dining experiences. We have dined at Alberts in excess of 300 times over the years. Best waiter is Carlos who always entertains - and looks after us with just the right amount of attentiveness! UPDATE!! Looking forward to Easter Sunday breakfast on 30th March 2024- wondrous menu!!

Amazing food and service, this is one of our favourite places to come

Had a lovely afternoon tea at Didsbury was a lovely change to the menu nothing was too much trouble would think that a further offer of tea or coffee would be good but apart from that it was worth the money and had a 1 to 1 with my daughter x Thank you

Lovely environment in with to eat a fabulous lunch

Fantastic food everytime I've been, love the decor too and customer service is always excellent

Did not meet expectations. Food was not as advertised on the menu. Staff gave glib answers to any questions or clarifications sought on the menu. Will not be returning after this second poor experience in 3 months.

Great food, buzzing atmosphere.

Staff are excellent and friendly the food was good and the wine was excellent too

Great menu, reasonably priced, helpful and friendly staff. Service with care

Lovely food on a Sunday but shame about the live music which started and brought all conversation around the table to an end. I I don’t know why restaurants think it’s a good thing. It was too loud and I go to socialise not have my conversation drowned out.
