Everything was spectacular - our server was excellent and talked us through the dishes and wine list in passionate detail, his recommendations were spot on, and the orange wine was delicious. Beautiful calm atmosphere, we were one of the last sittings, but never felt rushed and had a lovely relaxed evening. Thank you!

Visited ERST in Ancoats, a Michelin-recommended spot from 2021, and it truly delivers on atmosphere and service—a great choice for couples looking for a cozy, intimate dining experience. However, if you’re coming for a hearty meal, you might want to reconsider. Here’s what I tried: 🥂 The Food Experience: • 🦪 Oysters (£3.5 each) – Fresh but on the smaller side. Cleanly prepared, but not particularly outstanding for oyster lovers. • 🥖 Flatbread & Beef Fat – Highly recommended by the staff, and it didn’t disappoint! The bread was incredibly soft, with a rich, indulgent beef fat aroma—one of the highlights of the meal. • 🦌 Venison Tartare & Girolles – The absolute MVP of the night! Raw venison with mushrooms, perfectly seasoned with no gaminess—just tender, flavorful bites. A must-try! 💯 • 🍞 Gnocco Fritto, Squash Agrodolce & Ricotta – Sounded creative, but tasted underwhelming. The squash’s sweet-and-sour flavor lacked depth, making this dish a miss for me. • 🐟 Salt Cod Brandade & Braised Leek – A creative dish with mashed cod and braised leeks, but the execution fell flat. Not something I’d order again. ✨ Overall Verdict: • Atmosphere: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – One of the best date-night spots in Manchester. Warm lighting, great music, and attentive service make for a top-tier dining experience. • Food: ⭐⭐⭐ – Dishes are highly refined and shareable, but portions are small, and prices are on the higher side. Expect to spend £75-80 per person if you want a full meal. (I skipped their £65 steak, but maybe next time!) 📌 Who Would Enjoy ERST? ✅ Perfect for couples who want an intimate setting, light bites, and a good wine selection. ❌ Not ideal if you’re starving or looking for big portions—this is more about quality over quantity. 💡 Final Thoughts: If you’re after romantic vibes and beautifully plated small plates, ERST is worth a visit. If you’re just looking to fill up, your wallet might take a hit. Choose wisely!

Such a great place. Food is so simple, but delivers so many beautiful flavours. Service was very attentive. Never felt rushed but always noticed. I’m not a fan of wine, but when in Rome… good wine list with a helpful server to find a suitable wine for both the meal and personal taste. Favourites during my visit had to be the Game Chou Farci, Gnocco Frito and the Beef Fat Flatbread. Would recommend this for any visit to Manchester.

I found this place on the Beli app (restaurant review app). It was simply perfection from the vibes, to the food, to the staff! I walked in on a Thursday night for a late dinner and sat at the bar. The server/manager (?) was immediately warm and welcoming, and offered me recommendations. I had the steak tartare and beef fat grilled flatbread. Then finished with the chocolate tarte for dessert. Everything was divine. Not only was the food amazing, but the kind staff hand-wrote a list of other fantastic spots to visit during my time in Manchester. Nothing better than getting recs from locals! I will absolutely be back next time I’m in town. Thank you, Erst for a lovely experience my first time in the UK!

If they are aiming for fine dinning, then it is anything but. Food is ok, maybe somewhat refreshingly experimental to a certain extent, but the prices are a bit of a push to say the least... Place looks cheap, bistro like with cheap materials and surfaces, poorly lit (if that is your thing). Staff are dressed like they just came out of a workshop, really no effort made but pushy for more dishes when you order. On top of the overpriced small portions, they also slap on a service charge!? Only went in because of the AMEX offer and seemed table next to us were the same. Wouldn't go back to spend my own money.

El paquete está muy bien pensado. La selección es estacional , el ambiente es bueno y la factura es modesta. Las copas de vino de vertido gratuito son generosas y se ofrecen degustaciones. La comida es encantadora, las temperaturas son puntuales en , plato colorido en su mayoría compartiendo . Todas las cosas sociables emocionantes. Choux Farci era menos texturado, lleno de carne de cerdo, una carne picada más gruesa habría comido mejor, muy bien sazonada. El ala del patín era un poco de bebé, suave y gentil. Panna Cotta había terminado con el azúcar y las ciruelas estaban un poco desinfladas. Pero sobre todo disfrutamos de la noche.

Visited Erst Manchester last night for dinner, and it was fantastic. Relaxed atmosphere, great crowd, and perfect bar seating for catching up over wine. The food was incredible. The grilled flatbread with beef fat and Urfa chili is a must—so good. The Gnudi in brown butter and wild garlic was out of this world, and even the beetroot dish (yes, beetroot!) with ajo blanco and green chili completely won me over. The lamb belly and heart skewer with date? Melt-in-your-mouth amazing. Finished with the Seville orange tart and rhubarb crème fraîche—an unreal combo of flavours. The natural wine selection was fab too. Just a brilliant spot for dinner.

We came here for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday - we were wanting to come to Erst for so long so there was no better occasion! The food, wine and ambience were perfect, but the service was exceptional. My boyfriend unfortunately fell ill during the dinner and Louis was an angel, checking in on us and bringing water outside to where my boyfriend was sat. We were so sad to leave earlier than intended but the time we were there was lovely. Special shout-out to the flatbread with lardo - can’t stop dreaming about it! We’ll definitely be back whenever we visit Manchester again.

Thanks to all the staff at Erst for our magnificent meal today. We were first arrivals and made to feel at home, but it soon filled up and there was a lively but not overwhelming buzz to it. We had six plates plus a dessert and came away with our taste buds feeling like they’d had a spa treatment. Olives, sardines and green tomatoes in buttermilk, gnocco and squash, and the kohlrabi/pear/dates were all great, with the flatbread and peppers/walnut bringing all the flavours together. And the lamb rib with coco beans delivered at the end was amazing. Afterwards the baked cheesecake hit the right balance of sweet/savoury & the fig panna cotta was heavenly. The beetroot lemonade washed it all down well. The service was excellent: attentive and happy to talk through the choices. All in all, it was a wonderful meal.

We visited here for our Anniversary over the weekend and had high hopes for the small plates. Stand out was the Beetroot dish which has been on their menu for 5 years and deserves to be on there for another 5, interesting flavours that work very well together. However, we were disappointed with other dishes, the hake was cooked perfectly however, the cuttlefish was very salty. The beef flatbread which is highly spoken of on the reviews was fine, it was cooked well but the flavour was underwhelming, after trying the flatbread from Another Hand this does not compare. Anchovie dish was OK, glad it is now served on bread rather than by itself. The basque cheesecake was interesting, given the strong flavour of Goats cheese I think it would only appeal to a small audience, for me it was a little dry. The panna cotta however was very nice, the grapes did not taste of palma violets. The wine menu was comprehensive but dissapointing for us, the majority of the wines were from 2020 onwards, we expected the 'from the cellar menu' to include more aged wines at least from 2016 onwards. Additionally, the menu needs to be updated on their website as it did not reflect the menu we were given in the restaurant. We were looking forward to trying the Onglet & Bordelaise and was shocked to see this had been replaced by a pork dish at a whopping £28..

Disappointed with the anchovies they were very salty, I’m aware that anchovies are expectedly salty, but as a chef you would think one would pair it with some bread or crackers? And there’s no bread as sides to order for choice! I had to eat it with the bread with beef oil and … Is this what the chef expects? Perhaps, the staff could advise on certain dishes and pairing? It is always said, one eat with the eyes first, unfortunately the hake dish we ordered certainly is lacking in that area.

Teníamos Coppa dAbruzzo, pepino, melón y orégano con pecorino. Sardinas a la parrilla, judías borlotti con melocotón y tomate, merluza con sepia. El premio del día fue la carne asada fría, alcachofa y parmesano. Los vinos naturales son deliciosos, y yo no era un converso fácil. Sorbete de chocolate con aceite de oliva y sal marina - increíble.

My experience in Erst was less than I really expected, I heard many people saying good things about and also is the 50th best restaurant in the UK (in my opinion It’s a joking). Good food and good quality products also the cooking of my Hake was perfect. Good food but normal dishes nothing special they think they are one of the best restaurant in the UK but It’s not true It’s just a good restaurant in Manchester but a bit far from the best restaurants in MCR

Beautiful Ingredients Perfectly Used… We were so excited by Erst’s menu that we ordered pretty much everything they have to offer (small plates, so it’s fine!). Every dish is constructed with great care and thought, and everything we ate blew us away (special shout out to the beef fat flat bread that the staff perfectly described as ‘umptious’). Despite the quality and sophistication of the food there is nothing pretentious about Erst - the atmosphere is relaxed and staff are decidedly lovely (especially with my young daughter). Definitely not cheap but really good value considering the quality of the seasonal ingredients and the skill/knowledge of the kitchen. GO TO ERST - IT’S GREAT! ❤️

Lived up to the hype. I’ve been wanting to try Erst for a while but something always stopped me I didn’t believe it would live up to the hype, however I was very wrong. This is one of the best meals I’ve had in Manchester for a long time. The restaurant is cosy and modern with just the right atmosphere for you to relax and buckle in for a culinary journey. The waiter was exceptional he was very personable and knowledgeable explaining every dish with passion and detail and helped us navigate through dishes we’ve never tried such as a full artichoke. The food was amazing we had 5 dishes plus an oyster to kick off the proceedings. Every dish was well thought out, full of flavour and you could taste the quality of the ingredients. In particular the beef fat flatbread was out of this world, my gf actually had tears in her eyes it was that good (she loves bread). A very special meal for a special occasion I’ll definitely be back to try their ever changing menu and you should try it too! Perfect for any occasion, I’d say it’s on the higher price scale but still very reasonable for the quality and setting.

He was supportive without being intrusive and while the excellent kitchen and flavors they prepared were the real stars of the night, Louie added a lovely sparkle as he helped us navigate through a delightful meal.

The Erst classics still stand out… Order the beetroot dish, order a flatbread, order the panna cotta - you won’t find better. A new dish of hogget with caponata also a stand out this time. Service was great as always. They do a perfect negroni, and have an interesting wine list - featuring natural wines and crowd pleasers… it goes without saying you will need to book in advance

I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious this restaurant is, we went on a Saturday evening and the atmosphere was great. The service was excellent and the food really fresh and tasty. I especially recommend the Calamari, it was probably the best Calamari I’ve had in Manchester.

We love Maray, think it's our third visit this year. The food is always brilliant, with friendly staff and a really warm welcome. Cannot fault it.

I celebrated my 30th birthday here a couple of weeks ago and had the best time! It‘s such a gorgeous venue and a perfect spot for celebrations! Emma and her team were so kind and welcoming - really attentive to every single person who walked through the door! Nothing was ever too much trouble - it was such a great experience which I’ll never forget! Thanks Emma & Team, you‘re wonderful x
