Cbd Coffee Lounge in Manchester

I’m sorry, but this has to be the worst food I’ve ever eaten — never mind it being fine dining. I’m not sure if the chef was tasting the food before it was sent out, but the overwhelming flavours across all dishes were lime, chilli, and salt. Everything was so acidic or vinegary, and all eight dishes we tried tasted virtually the same. With this type of dining experience, each dish should have its own unique flavour that complements the ingredients. We ate as much as we could — we’re not usually ones to complain — and since it was my 30th birthday, we were trying to make the most of the night. Plus, given the cost, we were trying to convince ourselves it was good. But by the end of the meal, we both felt unwell. When the final dish came out (a risotto), and again it tasted like a bowl of vinegar and lime, we just burst out laughing. That was the final straw. We had to send it back, as it was literally inedible. For the price, we were expecting a truly flavoursome experience with high-quality ingredients, but it seems the chef only works with three flavours. The duck was dry and sparse, covered in soggy, acidic leaves. The risotto was watery and acidic. The tacos were acidic and underwhelming. The squid was beyond dry and completely flavourless. The other dishes were okay but still far too acidic. That said, the complimentary dessert was delicious, the service was excellent, and the staff were very helpful when we returned the risotto. The venue itself is beautiful. However, the DJ's music was way too loud for a restaurant. While it’s a novel idea, it just doesn’t work in a dining setting — it made conversation difficult and likely causes more frustration than enjoyment. It’s disappointing to see reviews similar to ours dating back over five years, which suggests that customer feedback hasn’t been taken seriously. For the price, the food really needs a complete review. We’re big foodies and love trying new experiences — from fine dining to tasting menus, à la carte, and Michelin-starred venues. Sadly, this is the first one we’ve ever walked away from not enjoying at all. The food was nowhere near the standard we’ve come to expect from fine dining, both in flavour and in quality. Not a single dish stood out — or was even good. Very disappointing.

Es un lugar pequeño y acogedor con un jardín de cerveza en la parte trasera, la comida era genial, un montón para elegir, el personal era amable, nos gustó mucho pasar un poco de nuestro tiempo allí.

Great food reasonably priced Good atmosphere Friendly staff

Decent burritos here with (supposedly) 3 vegan burrito filling options, but I have yet to find all 3 available. Today only the vegan ‘chicken’ was available. Why? Is it really that difficult to stock up for all items on your menu? Not even late in the day, lunchtime on a Saturday and you’re already out of stock? Plenty of other burrito options nearly, I’ll be going to one of those henceforth. Please don’t close early! Arrived at 20:50 today, supposed to be open until 21:00, but was closed 😭 UPDATE APRIL 2025: I know I wrote that I wont be going here again, but I did, and its gone downhill even more. Last Saturday they had no vegan options in stock, again around midday. They have the cheek to put a big sign outside bragging about their vegan and vegetarian options, and yet can't be bothered to make them or keep in stock. Add to that, you now place your order using screens (like McDonalds) which actually slow things down compared to telling the server what you want as they are making the burrito. Final nail in the coffin is staff that dont know how to roll a burrito. Now I really will be walking a few blocks up Oxford Road to another place, which is well staffed, takes orders verbally, keeps 2 vegan options in stock and the team know how to roll burritos.

We only ordered churros from this place, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The person who served us was rude and clearly not interested in speaking to us. While we did receive our order fairly quickly, we were shocked to find only three churros in the box, for the price, that’s incredibly expensive. They were also overcooked and tasted burnt. To make matters worse, we took the churros back to the person who served us to show him, and he completely disregarded us, saying this is how many they give, with zero concern for the poor quality or our dissatisfaction. Definitely not worth it. Would not recommend going here again.
