Lunchtime for two We treated ourselves to the sirloin sharer for two , which was served medium rare, sliced and served with carrots, potato wedges and gravy As it takes 45 minutes to prepare, we shared Focaccia bread and olives Plus a few soft drinks, this was in total fifty quid each. Bear in mind the usual lunchtime menu is twenty five and the sharer has a fifteen quid extra. I left full and wanting to try more Located in the heart of Didsbury Village in a charming converted building that retains a lot of its original features, set across a few rooms, with a kitchen in the back. I like the calm atmosphere and the very attentive wait staff. The adjacent car park is very conveniently located

Great little restaurant/bistro. We had the autumn bistro menu at lunchtime and it was excellent. Some really nice autumnal flavours and decent portions too. We were going for the three courses for £20 but didn't have room for pud. I'm blaming the truffle fries we had as an extra! We'll be back for pud next time.

I still love Hispi but haven’t been since a disappointing Christmas Day meal last year. Staff absolutely first class. Everything we ate was delicious but portion sizes are down, prices are up and we waited 45 minutes between starter and mains and the restaurant was probably at 40% capacity. Will continue to support as it’s local but probably for lunch or bistro menu offers. Bill was £142 for 2 x 2 main courses, a bottle of white Rioja and a glass of red (including service).

What a shame. The recipes here are great and the concept is super - however to work, the staff need to care. We arrived at 1.15 and yet by 2.30 we still had not received our mains. And our cocktail glasses were still on the table, just by the empty water glasses, on the unwiped table. When the mains did arrive, the cod was overcooked and the sauces were unbalanced. Though luckily not all was lost. The serving staff did have plenty of time for a good chat and catch up their socials as they hung out in the next room, oblivious to their frustrated guests. We didn't even stay for pudding.

What a fab idea to go to Hispi today for my fella’s birthday. Awesome wines, superb alcohol free Aperol as designated driver. Warm welcome, staff friendly and great service, attentive, perfect timings for ordering, food arriving, waiting for drinks etc. Then the food……..this was THE BEST meal we have had in a really long time. We both had different starters, mains, desserts, sides and in honesty we can’t wait to get back and work our way through the menu. I personally think the cost for the quality and the level of flavour and choice is fantastic. Can’t wait to try Sunday lunch and then the other meals on the Autumn menu Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday……… Thank you all was so good and we loved it. We’ve missed eating in a place that clearly cares so much about what they do! As my other half would say, Quality! In his beautiful Manc accent !

My reviews tend to follow trips away from home, probably because it is when on holiday, I rely on TripAdvisor most. I have a tendency to forget to write a short note when we dine locally, so I thought I would make amends. We have eaten at Hispi several times when we have enjoyed an excellent meal. On Friday we went to one of their themed Wine Nights. On this occasion the menu and wine selection were French. Cuisine and service were first class and we look forward to going again before too long.

My partner and I decided to treat my mum to a birthday lunch at Hispi. We opted for the 2 course fixed price lunch menu ( starter and main) . Staff were friendly and courteous, and checked if we had any allergies etc. Menu is limited , which I expect on a set menu, but i feel there were enough options presented. We had a different starter each crab cake, bacon belly and black pudding and then all had the featherblade beef. The food was very good , chips were a standout. Its only 4 star for me because of Value as with 2 glasses of wine and a soft drink it came to over 110 pounds which for portion size seems a bit expensive although it was as I said very good quality food, and the service and venue were both good

The defining moment of the dinner was having ordered a £65 bottle of their New Zealand Pinot Noir, for it to be served without any offer to taste it and then having it sloshed into the glass if it was cheap plonk. With regard to prices, two of us shared the 19oz sirloin which attracts a £9 supplement pp to the £43 two course menu. Whilst the steak was perfectly cooked, it was hardly a generous portion for two people, but the accompanying chips were outstandingly good. Our son lives in Didsbury and we have wanted to try Hispi for some time. However, like other TripAdvisor reviews of this restaurant we feel the prices are way too high given its lack of sophistication, overall standards and presentation. I doubt another visit is on the cards, albeit very local for our son.

Good but not amazing food. I wouldn't say it was good value for money; £43 £or 2 courses without sides is a bit steep. Chips were £5 and there were 7 , = 3.5 chips each! Good wine selection though and nice atmosphere.

My girlfriend is coeliac and vegan; so not the easiest to cater for. However Clare modified the menu to show everything that was suitable or that could be adapted to make up a lovely gluten free vegan breakfast; including gluten free vegan bread. They also have gluten free oat milk. I had a full English which was incredible; if the thin white bread was swapped out for some nice thick cut soardough bread it would have been a 11/10. Clare was also lovely and attentive; really couldn’t fault her! The bill came to 30 odd quid which I think was reasonable for two breakfasts and two drinks. Thank you so much Clare and team

From the moment of stepping into Hispi, we felt like we were in a 5 star Bistro. From the immediate warm welcome, to the tasteful decor. The food was excellent and you'll probably not come close to finding flavours like these in the south of manchester. The service was outstanding and the manager really is an asset to this place, impeccable hospitality and impressive time management skills, getting round to a fairly full room of people and making all in there feel like royals. I would definitely eat here again and would without a doubt recommend to friends and family. A big thank you to Hispi from us.

We had not been back to Hispi for some time! No particular reason just never gotten round to booking. Hispi is one of the very few establishments that I would recommend to people because of its consistency. The service and food was yet again extremely good as we chose from the Sunday menu. Mrs L went for the roast beef myself and Mr Sankey upped the ante somewhat and went for the sirloin sharing platter which is highly recommend. Yorkshire are the best in the business, and the accompanying veg (greens and carrot n swede) not to mention the roasts spuds all first class! The red wine gravy is the finishing touch and all plates were literally clean as a whistle. Ginge opted for a hake dish which she said was sublime. Great food great service and I’d still be recommending this place.

I’ve eaten at Hispi many times now and it’s one of the best restaurants in Didsbury. They cater very well for coeliacs and even have a dedicated gluten free menu. The food is delicious, the staff are lovely and the general vibe of the place is relaxing and not at all stuffy. The food is well priced for the quality and the honeycomb desert is an absolute must! They update their menus fairly regularly so there’s always variation and it keeps things interesting. Definitely check this place out!

The food and the atmosphere was great, and the staff were really welcoming. I ordered the featherblade of beef and my partner ordered the sea bass. I knew the prices (£43 for two courses) beforehand but left feeling like it was not worth the money at all. Don't get me wrong, the food was very nice, just perhaps worth £25-£30 rather than £43

We attended this restaurant for the lunch menu special which is a really good deal. It’s £15 for two courses and £20 for three courses. Would it be an early lunch time we arrived? The restaurant was not very busy. The lady who was serving us was absolutely lovely though very friendly and very attentive. It’s probably not the best place to go if you are vegetarian as there is only one option for the mains. There is the option of the more expensive menu which we were not inclined to pay for lunchtime treat. Quality of the food was incredible. It was all very fresh locally. I would happily recommend this restaurant to anybody else.

Venue was in good location, directly across the road from Didsbury Village tram station. Makes access to Didsbury far easier than ever before, especially from South Manchester & Altrincham. Unfortunately there are only bottled beers which was slightly disappointing but has an extensive wine list chosen for best pairings for the meals on offer. Has an extensive menu with a choice of meat, fish & vegetarian which meets everyone's preferences but does not provide an extensive choice of meat, again acceptable for the small restaurant. There were four of us and we all chose the two course Sunday meal and ended up all having the three courses for £32 each, an extra £4.50 for the dessert or cheeses. Very friendly waiting staff who all knew the menu well enough to chat freely with us throughout the experience, this always gives a good impression to the diners.

My first time here tonight but my partner has been before. We went initially for the cheaper fixed price menu but ended up going for the higher priced one which was still amazing value for money! For starters the service was excellent. Attentive but still super relaxed we felt so comfortable with the ladies that served us and honestly service was impeccable. The food was perfect! We had he pork cheek and Jerusalem artichoke Welsh rarebit to start. Both were delicious and perfectly balanced. We had a bottle of Montepulciano with it and it was lovely. I had the confit duck leg (on the recommendation of one of the lovely ladies who served us) which was beautifully cooked and well paired with the parsnip puree. My partner had the venison with celeriac puree which was also banging!!! We were too full to order dessert but will definitely go again as the whole dining experience was excellent. Please go here it’s ace!!!!

Had a really good Sunday roast, beer carved a little on the thin side but nice and pink, amazing fluffy Yorkshire pud and good roasties. Service could be a little sharper, e.g. plates sat finished for a long time and saw one member of the serving staff chewing but otherwise nice place and pleasant atmosphere so will be back to try the rest of the menu.

Been here a few times and always good thought we’d try the January special 2 courses £28 and 3 £35 to celebrate my husbands birthday. Expected the portions etc to be the same as the normal menu but felt they were smaller to allow for the price reduction. I had the cod main and it was very bland and the mashed potato had disappeared amongst all the sauce. The sticky toffee pudding was good though. None of the usuals special touches either ie the complimentary garlic focaccia to start or birthday fudge. So overall disappointing given it’s still an expensive meal with drinks. My husband was still hungry when we came home and ended up having a sandwich later.

Luckily able to get a table as a walk in after a sore of the moment decision to dine at Hispi. After many visits the foods has never failed, pig cheek to start was delicious, had the halibut for the main which was cooked perfectly and the broth it came with just fit perfectly. I am not a big mushroom fan, but always happy.to push my boundaries here as I know the ingredients are good and it will be cooked perfectly. No dessert this time, if the custard tart was on then I would have been all over that. But the Christmas over indulgence meant we were sensible and skipped it this time.

Tried to get a table with my son. Lovely place from the outset, but we were treated rather disrespectful by the presumably supervisor, a young brown haired girl, as she was greeting me, saying, "What's up?" Even the tone was so disrespectful not mentioning the fact of the age difference between the two of us. The waitress was warmly welcoming us, even when I noticed that the place closed for service. She was doing the right thing, which I can't say the same about the "supervisor" My suggestion is to train your people in charge, not to be arrogant with potential customers. Wanted to try the place for a long time, but this incident absolutely changed my mind.

As always, Hispi offers a well constructed set menu, priced at £48 for three courses. That’s quite a bit more than you’d pay at a couple of other “Modern British” bistro type places in South Manchester that we also go to. Quite a bit more even than the “city centre prices” of a similar sort of place in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. But, as always, there’s lots we’d be happy to eat but I do start to question whether the extra cost is really worth it A long braised pig cheek was delicious and fell apart at the touch of the fork. There’s a little apple puree and a dressing incorporating capers and a crunch from hazelnuts. The other starter saw a piece of toasted brioche topped with roasted Jerusalem artichoke, covered in Welsh rarebit. Alongside, a spoonful of chutney – fruitiness from pear with a little background zing from horseradish. We both went with the same very seasonal main course – Hispi’s take on a traditional Christmas lunch. So, there’s slices of turkey, of course, and lovely crisp roast potatoes. A “hockey puck” of pork, apricot and hazelnut stuffing may have been the tastiest thing on the plate, with a topping of cranberry relish. Parsnip puree was a bit wet and a bit of roasted parsnip would have been better but shredded sprouts mixed with bacon were really nice (and I say that as someone not usually keen on sprouts). A red wine sauce set it all off. We didn’t fancy a dessert but espresso was pretty decent.

It had been far too long since my last visit here. When I was asked where I wanted to eat on my birthday I had no hesitation in requesting Hispi! My previous memories had all been superb, tasty food, great service, good atmosphere and excellent value. I’m happy to report nothing has changed and it was as good as ever, a rarity these days as so many restaurants start great only to go down hill fast, fade and fold. Hispi is without doubt doing things in the right way and thriving. Whilst I’ve eaten here a la carte my favourite is the Sunday roast. Choices were sumptuous pork, beef, a vegetarian option and if you are celebrating as we were a 15 day old sirloin of beef for two people and boy did this hit the spot. Served with fabulous roast potatoes, kale, carrot, a gigantic home made Yorkshire pudding & finished with a first rate gravy. Granted there was a supplement for the sirloin but it was well worth it. A terrific sticky toffee topped off a splendid meal and I can highly recommend the crunchie ice cream. Staff were very attentive and looked after our very need I can highly recommend Hispi, it’s stood the test of time because it consistently delivers.

The vibe was lovely and desserts very good especially the crème brûlée. The bass main was well cooked but pretty bland. I could not get any of the flavours mentioned on the menu. We ordered two glasses of the Riesling which was very sweet. When we asked the waitress about this to enquire if it was the right one, she very condescendingly told us Riesling is always sweet. Which I know for a fact is false, especially a Riesling from Alsace. She then told us she could help us choose the next one, again which came across pretty condescending. We dropped the issue pretty quickly as it was clear we were being labelled as stupid. It may be worth asking to see the bottle or trying the wine before getting a full glass as to me it tasted and looked like a Semillon not a Riesling! We didn’t feel welcome back to be honest and I probably wouldn’t go back

Congratulations to the chef and your team for producing such a wonderful, well balanced tasting menu this evening 03/11/23). Each course was an absolute delight and perfectly well matched with an excellent choice of wines by your sommelier. The service was excellent and each course on the menu was described and explained to us by your pleasant front of house team. A delightful experience that we hope to repeat in the very near future. Thank you.

Had dinner with friends last night, and everything was delicious. I particularly recommend the dates wrapped in smoky bacon and the honeycomb ice cream. I ordered from the excellent value bistro menu and my friends from the main menu. Everything was tasty and freshly made,...

Haven't been in a long time. We went for our anniversary. Would say the starters were on the small side and for their prices, lacked flavour. We had the lamb breast and crab cakes. The mains were delicious. We had the duck and chicken schnitzel....

We recently had lunch as a large group at Hispi following our wedding ceremony. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for such a special occasion. The staff went above and beyond, with the perfect balance between attentiveness and giving us privacy to celebrate. We had a separate space off the main restaurant which was ideal for our group and celebrations. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed their meal and all dietary requirements were catered for with no trouble. We've been to Hispi a few times over the years and couldn't recommend them more highly.

We went here for our anniversary and we did have a lovely time. The service and atmosphere was was lovely - the staff were extremely kind and helpful. However we were a bit disappointed by the food. It had a lot of potential - the dishes all sounded amazing and were presented well but they lacked a bit of flavour.

The waiter was really nice and told us about updates to the menu. Service was quick and the food was really fresh and good value. We literally had the restaurant to ourselves on a Tuesday lunch time.

Really nice food. Service was ok but should have been better. I also asked for a glass of champagne upon arrival and they couldn't supply me with a champagne glass which I thought was a little strange.

A very nice place to have a good food. We were sitting at a big table and it feelt like were are in a living room of a nice uk house with view to the kitchen. The food is good and the wine was fine. The service was great. We will come back as soon as we are again in greater Manchester. It was a very nice evening.

Came for a birthday in a large group and definitely recommend it. Food and drinks really good, great vibe (nicely tucked away from the chaos of the streets) and brilliant service. Couldn't help us enough from the first moment we arrived - thanks so much Sam and Skye!
