Evuna in Manchester

Wonderful meal at Evuna, food tasted delicious, the atmosphere was really good, wine and sangria were lovely. Would highly recommend a visit and on sure we will be back

Visited today, fantastic food lovely cold wine, hot coffee, great service. Couldn't ask for any more

Difficult review this. Place is very nice. Bar service was spot on but just had a bank statement. 1 beer, I think Estrella. Daughter ordered a single Gin and a mixer and a tapas of olives. Only logical explanation is, she was given a double £22.39

Amazing authentic Spanish food and great atmosphere! Our waitress Jasmine was very friendly and helpful, she really made our experience wonderful! We will definitely be back 😊

Delicious meal, great service, lovely wine and great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back to try the tapas!

Very authentic and high quality Spanish food and believe it or not at a reasonable price

Good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices. The lamb was really good

Nice tapas one of the best I've had

Delicious tapas meal for 4. I chose aubergine, garlic mushrooms & chilli prawns - generous portions & amazing flavours. Lovely staff.

We have been coming to Evuna at Deansgate Manchester for a number of years. The food and wines are consistently excellent and the prices reasonable. Yesterday we were attended to by Odise who was extremely attentive, personal and professional. Phil and Val Roberts

Having looked online and on foot 6 Tapas Restaurants across central Manchester settled on Evuna, Deansgate. Proved a very sensible and rewarding choice. Lovely people serving up really excellent freshly prepared Tapas food without fuss but with a smile and helpful advice to the Tapas novice. No hesitation recommending this restaurant if this cuisine is to your taste

Excellent Spanish meal and Tapas. Highly recommend

Really good paella and Tapas. Absolutely delicious in fact and our best meal all weekend on our trip to Manchester. The service and House Red wine was also good. Highly recommend this place .

Went as a group of 4 on Sunday and had a lovely meal. Did the 17.95 deal for three tapas, I got the chicken in paprika, the meatballs and patatas bravas! I didn’t enjoy the patatas bravas il be honest, but the rest was nice! We got a side of the tomato bread also which was lovely! We all enjoyed it, and think it was reasonable. Service was good too. Deffo will return,

Restaurant à tapas situé dans une rue animée de Manchester. Propose une large gamme de repas et de vins. J y ai mangé du pain à la tomate, très bon et des calamars. Trop salés (les calamars) à mon goût. Le personnel très commerçant ne me les a pas compté dans la note . Bonne ambiance dans ce restaurant

Came as the kitchen was closing down but was able to get the seafood paella and wine - amazing!

Superb food. The place was very quiet and so had great service as well.

Lovely restaurant, had 3 items each from the menu, sat outside and enjoyed the sun. Very pleasant experience from service to stunning, fresh and tasty food Highly recommend paying a visit

This year I have visited several different regions of Spain and eaten some of the best food I have ever had, last night I went to Evuna and experienced the complete opposite (Yes I understand the quality of ingredients may differ being in the UK). There was a table of 20 of us and we chose the sharing option, which is approximately £35 per head. Every 'Hot tapas' option was clearly microwaved, the meatballs were mushy and flavourless, not to mention the fact that there was only enough for one meat ball per person. The chicken in a creamy sauce was the most least Spanish thing I have ever eaten, calamari rings were dripping in oil. The cold meat board at the start was so stingy it was enough for 2 people (not 5/6) Then we had the paella, I would like to add Paella is my favourite dish of all time, I have eaten it all over Spain and had it at some lovely restaurants here in the UK.. This paella was an insult to Spanish people. It was sloppy, overcooked, way too wet, the chicken was dry, the chorizo was so overcooked it was actually mushy, there was no crispy/ golden layer (socarrat or torraet) at the bottom of the dish (suggesting it was microwaved) and overall just tasteless. If you like overcooked rice drenched in chicken stock then you would like this. I would highly suggest to avoid this restaurant, it's insulting to anyone from Spain. I would say this resembles a Spanish Wetherspoon.

Delicious food. Top wine. Good service. Very good

Went for the first time in August for my girlfriend's birthday with her family - I'm a meat eater while they're all vegetarian and my girlfriend has coeliac disease but everyone was expertly catered for. Everything is marked for allergens/intolerances and they brought her food out separately I don't expect to see garlic bread at a tapas restaurant so that was a pleasant surprise - the portions were large but it was so good that I couldn't leave any. I really enjoyed the chorizo too, and the patatas bravas were good. We shared a couple of jugs of sangria between us and we all found it very drinkable! In all, probably the best tapas I've had outside Spain and would happily visit again.

Great tapas! Very reasonable lunch menu and excellent service! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to return next time I am in Manchester

Went for a lazy, late, boozy lunch and it was great.

We had a lovely lunch at Evuna. Set lunch menu which had a variety of tapas dishes to choose from. Service and wine was great. Lovely little restaurant

Amazing food and really friendly staff, will definitely be back

Lovely interior & server, however service not memorable and quite uninspiring. Food was very under-seasoned, no spice to any of the ‘chilli’ dishes, the sauce for the prawns was bland & tasted of nothing. The paprika chicken was dry, diced chicken breast sat in a thin creamy sauce that tasted like milk, with 0 paprika present. The creamy mushroom sauce tasted like thin milk that was going out of date. The paella was okay, but again super under-seasoned and not worth £20pp. The only decent thing was the patatas bravas but even that was a bit dry. I think investing in a premium Spotify subscription would help with the atmosphere, as adverts playing through the restaurant every 5 mins was a strange experience. All in all very disappointing visit, the £95 lunch bill was definitely not worth the trip especially considering what you can get with that value elsewhere. Such a shame as we had heard great things and were really looking forward to visiting.

I have been walking passed this restaurant for two years, and today I finally did a solo late lunch. Partaking in their 3 tapas for £18 - I elected to have the Chorizo, Chicken in Paprika sauce and Patatas Bravas. The Patatas were the most underwhelming, tasty but nothing to rave about. Chicken was dry and overcooked, but the creamy paprika sauce moved it into 2nd place. The absolute winner was the little chorizo’s done with baby potatoes and a garlic cream sauce. Heavenly and would come back just for those!! Served with a glass of house Evuna wine. I ordered white, but got the red. Easy drinking and a good deal at £4.50 for the first glass. Atmosphere was buzzing (Manchester sunshine). Service was adequate, but would worry if they were at full capacity. All in all - probably worth another try.

Reservations are required, as is usual in Manchester and most cities in the United Kingdom, but the restaurant is delicious and the staff are helpful.

Despite a 515pm booking, Evuna were able to accommodate us when we arrived....almost an hour early. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff were extremely efficient. We had the lunch menu, which had ample choice and a cracking glass of house red. There was a slight query, regarding our bill. This was swiftly dealt with and the manager couldn't have been more apologetic. On arriving and leaving the restaurant, almost every member of staff spoke to me or made some sort of acknowledgement. A big shout out to all at Evuna, especially the kitchen staff who's input often goes unrecognised.

Visited with 3 others and had booked a table which I would say is necessary as it was busy when we arrived. Food was hit and miss and I would have found portion sizes listed to be useful, staff did not advise at all and then commented we’d left some food, I would say we’d eaten 95% of our order and I felt like saying if the food was nicer we’d have eaten it all! Wine by the glass was limited, only 3 choices of red or white and 1 rose and staff weren’t very knowledgeable about this either. Prices were reasonable. I wouldn’t visit again, the food wasn’t good enough and staff were rude.

Came here for my birthday and was super late for my booking due to traffic but they still manager to accommodate us. They were super lovely and the food was amazing. Ended up sitting at the bar and the bartended was so so nice

Best tapas I've had. Really tasty. I would definitely recommend it. Not even 5 mins from Deansgate station and tram.

Had an evening meal here recently with my parents. If you’re looking for good value tapas - this is the place. Food was really nice, service and staff good. Will be back.

Lovely food and setting. Very attentive and helpful staff. Would highly recommend

Great place for tapas and paellas! The food is incredible, nice environment and friendly staff!

Great atmosphere and customer service but the food was mediocre at best, it lacked flavour and was of low quality (microwaved/ready made store food standards)

Lovely find - excellent food - best to book in advance - we were lucky as a walk in to get a table but many others were turned away as the restraunt was really busy. Thank you

We hold special memories here as came for our 1st date back in 2012. Unfortunately, this time, there wasn't the same level of service that dampened the atmosphere. There was not the same element of enthusiasm that there had previously been regarding the wines and food, and we did not feel like we mattered despite spending a lot of money on food and wine.

Really enjoyed this place. Cheeseboard was better than we expected and really delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. I live in Sheffield, but I'd ride the train for an hour just to visit here. Really enjoyed it

Booked online and was told once we arrived they needed the table back in 90 minutes which put a bit of a rush on our dining experience. Ran out of mussels for the seafood paella but it was nice regardless! However, definitely felt extortionate at £40 for 2 people

very delicious. nice service, large portions, delicious wine and coffee

As we approach the summer months and thoughts go to tapas then I'd recommend the Evuna. Great food and an excellent selection of wines. Just try it yourself and find out.

Sat my mum in a room on her own when there were window seats available in a empty restaurant 4.30 on a Friday. Waiting staff Ignored her she wanted some wine and patatas bravas. Disgusting kindness cost nothing.

We’ve always liked Evuna, but our recent visit (in a group of 8) was the most enjoyable yet. Not just good food and atmosphere (and sherry and Rioja), but the staff were so friendly and helpful.

Always divine food with excellent staff who are friendly, attentive and helpful. Love the classic dishes with a modern twist to them. The extensive wine list is awesome too!

Best meal we've had in years (& we've eaten out a lot since retiring)

Have been here many times. The tapas are rather boring but everything else's fine. I'd strongly recommend the ham and cheese board and the vegetable platter. The sangria is also good.

We were celebrating my birthday in Manchester and discovered Evuna on Deansgate for lunch and were not disappointed. Very nice decor, welcoming staff and very tasty tapas. Highly recommended.

Excellent restaurant - house wine was very good quality and tapas very authentic. A real gem in Manchester!

Recommending Evuna, as this is a brilliant Spanish restaurant, been to Evuna twice. Below are the delicious plates we got, Gambas al ajillo - Prawns in chili and garlic, Pescados Seabass a la plancha, Frutos Del Mar - Seafood Paella , Evuna special - Mixed seafood and chiken paella, Parrilada Mixta - Mixed Grill, Calamares a la andaluza - Deep fried squid, and cheesecake. Love the great portion and the impeccable flavour from the food they offer. Definitely well deserved to be given plenty of credit, to be consistently doing Spanish food the proper way, it's beyond our expectations to have this fabulous experience at Evuna! Truthfully thank you for the meals, much appreciated!

Great restaurante de español! Amazing wine 🍷, authentic food served by friendly staff that actually habla español. Had a beautiful evening here with my gf. Also happened to leave my belonging here and they kept it well and returned it to me the next day.

Not a patch on Evuna NQ. Food was OK but nothing special. Restaurant and staff were nice.

Food was incredible but you don't get much for your money

Arrived at 6.15 and the restaurant soon filled up. Ordered our tapas of prawns, fillet steak, potatoes with garlic and meatballs, every dish was fantastic, tasty and plenty of each one. We felt we needed some bread so ordered garlic bread, a lovely jug of sangria went well with our tapas, it was just like being in Spain. Attentive and friendly staff. Looking forward for our next visit.

Took my wife for the Tapas Lunch for her birthday, been before always loved the food.

Very nice place for lunch. Central lManchester. Tapas varied and well cooked. Service friendly and efficient. Would visit again.

Tapas style of menu, tasty but insufficient. Cream Catalan excellent

Not great, business was not busy around 3/4 tables in at 4pm. Still the tapas came up as if it had been sat around waiting for agers, tomatoes on toast were dried and didn’t look appealing. Staff were somewhat friendly but missing the general manners every other restaurant has for example how is your food, good bye etc very simple phrases. I had the rose which I wouldn’t recommend but the white was good (unsure of the name). Honestly wouldn’t recommend but it did have a nice atmosphere to sit and chill, it’s just a shame the food wasn’t great. And additionally it was extremely plain for food covered in sauce, the bravas were poorly done. Potatoes were cold ish and just not great

We ate here on a Saturday night - 2 couples. The location is really easy to walk to from most central hotels. The restaurant was busy but we had pre-booked. The food was excellent- we had Tapas - 3 dishes each plus a couple of potato dishes for the table. The sangria was also very good. Great atmosphere and all the staff were very helpful.

Visited for dinner and were not disappointed. Pleasant staff and atmosphere, good choice on the menu for either tapas or a la carte dining.

Always go for Tapas before our film. Food and service always good.

Would recommend anybody to go here absolutely delicious

Great food great atmosphere will definitely come again

Delicious food and excellent customer services.

Totally recommend this place. Great food and nice waiters🩶

Beautiful restaurant and very helpful staff.

Overhyped - there is better Spanish tapas in Manchester. Have been twice now and been thoroughly underwhelmed by the food. The service is…fine, the prices are decent, but you get what you pay for here. The decor and environment is lovely - although this isn’t true when you go downstairs to the toilets, which leave a lot to be desired and clearly haven’t seen much recently. In all - I personally would avoid, I have not been particularly impressed on the times I’ve visited.

Brilliant Spanish restaurant We had lunch time Tapas There were 2 of us and we had six separate dishes all of which were gorgeous Highly recommend this place Waitress an Italian girl was helpful , pleasant and chatty Interesting conversation with her

The food was below average. There was two items unavailable on the menu which was disappointing, we were also charged for three chorizo dishes when we only ordered two. The prawns were especially disappointing, they were in a watery, dirty coloured looking water. The wine I ordered was nice and the Patatas bravas but that was it. I was really excited to try Evuna but I won’t be returning.

I would recommend Evuna for meat eaters, my friends loved their food but there wasn’t much choice for vegetarian dishes and my food was a bit under seasoned

Booked online, arrived and was greeted with a lovely welcome and taken straight to our table. The restaurant was almost full and those already eating looked happy and the food smelled amazing. Our drink order was taken straight away and we were given ample time to choose from the menu. The food came quickly, was so fresh and really tasty. The staff were very attentive. All in all a perfect evening. Will be back. Thank you.

Great food, atmosphere and service. All the food came out really quickly and was very nice. Gracias!

Looked everywhere in Deansgate for something authentic and not a chain, was either here or one of the Italian restaurants near by but after scanning both menus we decided tapas wins. We ordered 5 selections of tapas and a salami selection and churros for dessert. We had a mid ranged bottle of red which was lovely priced at £35. Our total bill came to £109 which I believed was excellent, great quality food, really pleasant and professional staff and a lovely setting. We turned up with no reservation but I would recommend too book in advance as the restaurant was rammed. 9/10 review, we had a lovely evening. Only thing I’d say, is the toilets could be updated, but other than that it’s a great place to eat and we will be returning.

Lots of choice and the food was really tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Would recommend.

Amazing service...we had 3 lots of tapas so that we could try a little bit of everything. The dishes were so good full of flavour and so filling.Very warm welcome from the staff. Sangria was perfect. I would definitely recommend. Thanks!

Delicious food, friendly staff.

What an amazing place to eat, we are from out of town and we would highly recommend anyone to eat here. The food, wine and service are fantastic!

My first visit to this beautiful restaurant. Food was exceptional, service excellent. Will definitely be back . Highly recommended.

Every time we come to Manchester for our Christmas markets break we book a table here, last night we had the chicken and chorizo paella for two and two 1 litre jugs of sangria, it reminds me of our regular holiday breaks to Benalmàdena on the Costa del sol the atmosphere is amazing, the staff and management are lovely people, the food is amazing I recommend this restaurant 100 percent. Hasta la vista y muchas gracias para el hermoso comida

Excellent food and really good service, we were well looked after and this was just the place for a celebration, thank you.

Amazing food. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Out of 7 dishes ordered I quite enjoyed 5 of them, 2 not so much but I'd say that's a good balance. Overall a perfect mix of good food, decent number of choices, really attentive and helpful staff - all around a great experience at a nice Spanish tapas restaurant.

If you are looking for authentic Spanish food and drink, this is the place to go. We had a couple for starters each, however the real reason why we went was to sample the paella and we wasn't disappointed. Fabulous food and a couple of drinks for a reason nice evening meal out. The atmosphere and staff was brilliant for a relaxing evening out. If you like Spanish food I would suggest you go and visit because you won't be disappointed.

Ordered chicken paella for 4 of us at £17.95 per head. It was a massive fail. Very bland, tasted of tomatoes. Can't justify the price at all. Staff were not attentive at all, quite a wait from being seated till someone came to take a our drinks order, ditto the food order. There was a party about 15 women, celebrating something, very quietly, in the corner. Appeared to be more staff than diners. Only had one drink each, more expensive than the food. Would not recommend for non wealthy folks. The WORST part was paying, a waiter was standing near the exit arm outstretched, brandishing the card machine at us, no bill, just a rude demand for money, with a 10 quid service charge... We had the service charge removed and vowed to never go back ever.

This is a place I would 100% visit again. Beautifully presented food, that tastes amazing, accomodating staff. A very chilled out, pleasent atmosphere. We came as part of a larger group and the staff worked with us with preorders and brought the dishes out with per person which made it super easy, let us pay for drinks at the bar to make the splitting of the bill much easier. Thanks to all that made our night special on Saturday, will certainly see you again in the future.

Great all round - 4 of us had 9 of the 12 tapas in the offer, all were good, but chorizo, haddock/chick pea and calamares were particular highlights for us. good value glass of house red too. we'll be back

The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We had shared small plates, some of the food felt more authentic than others. I really enjoyed the manchego with fruit jelly.

Having visited both the Altrincham / Northern Quarter Evuna's and having different experiences in both, I was looking forward to visiting Evuna Deansgate as the Northern Quarter restaurant has no early time slots . How was it - fantastic, the wine discussion was a little flaky, but that could have been my mispronunciation. However, when we both got the wine sorted it was excellent - just like the food. We had a mixed tapas main meal and each dish was excellent, with the stand out dish being the stuffed Courgettes topped with Goats cheese. Its unusual for me to have a desert, but my wife and I shared the Spanish Cheese cake and again it hit the spot. So in summary - great service, good wine, excellent food and a fine dining room ambiance So on this visit, Deansgate wins the prize for the best Evuna local to me.

Inviting menu of 3 tapas for £19.95 add a glass of house wine for £4.50, the white was £4.50, but given a choice of red asked for the Rioja and charged over £9 for a small glass. Service added by them at 10% even though I was mislead by wine price. Will avoid in future.

Booked a table for 5.30 arrived at 5.25 table not ready told to go for a walk and return in 15 minutes. Did this returned after 15mins table still not ready told to stand at end of bar until ready. After 5 minutes of getting in the bar staffs way we were seated. The wine menu is substantial but do I need to know how much I'm being ripped off with the restaurant mark up compared to the shop price?? Just put restaurant price on your menu if I like it I can go next-door and buy some more to take home. The food is OK but again overpriced for portion sizes typical City prices I suppose, you expect to get your pants pulled down for mediocre food and drink. Wouldn't recommend

I'd like to keep this place a secret, but I can't!! Fabulous on every level, I can't wait to go back already 😄

The best food I've had in Manchester. The tapas is legendary. We'll be coming back.

This place serves beautiful, authentic tapas if you are a tapas lover - Absolutely recommend! The staff are super friendly and one member of staff was very honest about her recommendations which I appreciated, as I always ask for the ‘best dishes’. Can be very busy so book in advance!

Dropped in late afternoon, without a booking. We had a great experience, especially as the food was absolutely delicious and drinks reasonable. Would highly recommend 👍

Really really poor food for the price - the NQ branch has been good recently but super disappointed in the meal at deansgate tonight

Absolute disgrace…. 915 booking obviously the chef I use the word loosely had his mind on other things the food was slapped onto a plate it was absolutely disgusting the service was very very poor no eye contact I tried to engage with the server and was told I am from Serbia I am not from Spain don’t know what you’re talking about…. absolute disgrace it shouldn’t even be trading this place is trading under a falsehood -*

I was visiting Manchester and staying in Deansgate, so had a look for a restaurant close by and with good reviews. This seemed perfect but turned out to be anything but. The staff were friendly, it was nice enough atmosphere but where they are let down is by the food. I have seen bigger portions in a kids' meals in most other restaurants. I could probably accept it, if it were to a high standard, but this was not worth it at all. You'd need to spend around £300-£400 to feel satisfied here. After the meal arrived, I was in disbelief at the portion size, I actually decided to cut my meal short and find somewhere else to eat. I really do not understand how this has such high reviews. If the portion is small quality has to be high and they did not even come close. Needless to say I wouldn't visit again nor recommend to anyone.

Really enjoyed my experience at Evuna as every tapas dish tasted so good! The menu was filled with plenty of options, I would definitely recommend the meatballs and the sweet potato fritas. I also liked that the food came out all together and that the tables were big enough to have all the dishes on without having to move things around all the time. The restaurant can get very busy, so would recommend booking beforehand

Good food and excellent staff. Would have given it 5 stars but it was very noisy with a party and crowded. Needs soft furnishings/wall baffles to absorb some of noise.

The menu and board outside state tapas lunch 15.95 and glass of wine 4.50 staff reluctant to point out the obvious and you the get charged 6.50 per glass of wine. When you order an extra glass of wine (175) it appears on the bill...
