Lucky Cat by Gordon Ramsay - Manchester in Manchester

The building is very pretty, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Went at 3pm and was a nice relaxed atmosphere. It is a small plates venue so you need to order a few dishes so ordered 5 dishes. The food was decent.

Fabulous restaurant brilliant food and service definitely worth the vy

luci was amazing, great food and nice decor

We had a great experience. All staff were welcoming and attentive. Special mention to Scott who made some great recommendations on what food to pick(GFC and Nigiri Excellent choice) everything paired with some Sake raccomended by Byron that struck the perfect balance between food and wine. We will definitely be back!

Great food and ambiance. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. We tried the beef tataki, Gfc and fried rice, as recommended by our waitress and finished with the apple cake, which was superb. Definitely my new favorite spot in Manchester.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and excellent service. Thank you to kesira who recommended the vegetable tempura and teriyaki rice bowl. It certainly hit the stop!

What a lovely atmosphere and decor beautiful

This was my first visit to Lucky Cat and it did not disappoint. The venue is beautiful. Food was amazing! I loved the crab and the beef tetaki was out of this world. Our server kesira was very knowledgeable and friendly. She made us feel so welcome. I can highly recommend the cocktails too. Am looking forward to my next visit.

Excellent food & amazing restaurant, the black cod & GFC where amazing & Lucifer looked after us from start to finish

Lovely restaurant in a gorgeous building! Service was amazing by our waiter Lucifa. Highly recommend GFC, black cod & apple treacle tart.

I was prepared to be disappointed as so many of these well known chefs places are a big let down. I'm happy to say I was very pleased with this place, the service was excellent cocktails very nice and the food very tasty. All in all a great place for lunch.

Great experience, food absolutely spot on and every team member was friendly, engaging and made you want to be there! Special mention to Kam for looking after us so well.. 10/10

Best food I have ever eaten, absolutely gorgeous food and drinks, lovely friendly and helpful staff and great atmosphere. Will be back soon I'm sure.

We had a great experience at lucky cat. We had the set menu but added the wagyu sushi and duck baos on as we couldn’t resist. All of the food was absolutely delicious, not a single thing missed the mark. Our favourite was the wagyu and the duck bao so we can highly recommend these if you come. We were served by Ciaran and he was amazing. So attentive, friendly and ensured that everything we ate was explained and the Japanese origins of the food described which really added to the experience. 5* would highly recommend.

A total rip off! Food was good nothing to say on that. We ordered two set menus to share between 4 people...the waitress advised that each set menu was enough for two persons as indicated on the menu itself. 1We wanted to order two different set menus to have a better selection, but after checking with her manager the waitress said that this is not possible both set menus have to be the same! When food started being served, we got just one set menu with the excuse that both set menus were being served in one plate! We ended this dinner with one dessert with one scoop of ice cream to be shared between 4. Manager named Cam said that one portion would be half of what we got! Meaning half a piece of apple treacle and half a scoop of ice cream with a set menu of 120 gbp. Never again!

The dining experience was exceptional. The food was of the highest quality, and the staff was exceptionally courteous and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations. The GFC was an absolute must-try. Additionally, it was our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable occasion. In conclusion, it was an experience worth repeating.

All the staff were so attentive and gave us a high quality service. Lucifer was excellent, very charismatic and looked after me and my friend. I’d highly recommend the mushroom tempura and egg fried rice.

What an astounding place with beautiful setting and ambience, we had 5 dishes and every mouthful was perfect. Our waiter Kulbashan was a different level, attentive and informative and made our evening celebrating a perfect night 😍

Lucifer was amazing Made our experience so much better All the food was amazing

Lucifer was very attentive, very tall ans very charming. Love Portia 1 xo

Lucky cat was absolutely wonderful and the service from Lucifer was just as stunning. Thank you so much for such a lovely experience.

The food was absolutely amazing, especially the fried rice best I have ever had. The staff are very friendly as well as attentive. The only problem I had was that the cocktail I had was like a bad expresso martini caked in cocoa powder, but other than that It was perfect.

Really friendly and knowledgeable staff! Great food and banter to boot! Lucifer our waiter was top!

Lucifer was a great host he was very attentive , and informative about the menu. Food was delicious and fresh very aesthetically pleasing.

Very good food and fantastic, knowledgable and friendly service from Lucifer

Quality food and quality service. Great cat table decor too.

Had the most amazing time at Lucky Cat Manchester, made even better by the fantastic cocktail masterclass - special shout out to Wilf for putting up with all my questions and making a really special evening! Would highly recommend the special events they offer, very generous for the price and really informative!

Lucifer was an amazing server. The drinks, food and atmosphere were all amazing. We came for our anniversary and it made our night. Lucifer knew the menu, drinks and food so well, and could talk up anything to us. An amazing server and an asset to the team, funny, clever and lovely. Would highly recommend for a boujee night. <3

Great atmosphere. Amazing food, but most importantly of all I would like to say lucifer is one of the best waiters I have had the pleasure of meeting. Wonderful guy and great knowlage. He made the food taste better and the air smell sweeter

The staff lovely food really nothing great and so hungry after not the best

Had a really great time! The food and service was amazing. Lucifer is so welcoming and made us feel so cared for. Definitely recommend

Needs deep fried black pudding and blue cheese in batter on the menu..

I spent my 22nd bday here and they made my day! Kieron was an absolute star, he made us feel so welcome and was so genuine and helpful, I couldn’t ask for a better waiter he made my birthday feel so special. I’ll definitely be coming back here and I recommend Lucky Cat to anyone wanting to celebrate or just have a nice meal and drink. The food was amazing too :)

We went for a 3 course lunch menu. The shack sharers were very good. Edamame beans and spring roll. However the rice bowl and starter were no better than a take away. We both loved the service and the restaurant itself, but felt the food was very average

We have wanted to come here for years and are so glad we finally did. Incredible food, we went for the signature menu as a treat for my partner's birthday. It went above and beyond our expectations. Shoutout to Lucifer for providing such fab service! We definitely need to return to try the GFC. Thank you!!

My family and I were blown away by this food it was amazing. The customer service was incredible we met a really nice man called Lucifer. Overall it is a 10/10

It was a great experience. Ayana is one of the workers there and a friend of mine, and she was a professional and kind, amazing server. I would totally recommend to go and visit because the atmosphere and food were great!

Absolutely fabulous evening spent @luckycat Manchester. The food was amazing, everything we had was a taste explosion! We were served by Lucifer & Ciaran, who were very attentive. They looked after our party of six so well we felt like royalty. The old Midland Bank building set the whole night off. You must visit the toilets downstairs in the vault!!! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

The food was delicious, with the mushroom gyoza standing out as a highlight. The staff were professional, and the lovely Ayana made the experience truly enjoyable. Her knowledge of the menu and warm attitude made our evening special.

Great food, great cocktails, great environment

Excellent ambience. Delicious food. First class service from front of house and our waiter, Mo! Gorgeous evening, thank you!

A really amazing meal with impeccable service and attention. Would highly recommend the egg fried rice and pork belly: truly amazing! Thank you to Ciaran and Lucifer (and team) for making us feel so welcome

Came here for my birthday treat. The Omakase experience. °The food, exceptional. Well prepared, playfully, and the taste and texture, divine. °The atmosphere was good, vibrant, fun, and nice decor. However, as it was not busy, it lacked warmth. °The Omakase chef, Ralph(?) was amazing. Fun, jokey, knowledgeable, and playful with his craft work. °The only negative, was, as a tall man, my legs brushed up against the bar, and when my knee lifted at one point, it felt something splodgy, when I looked, I found a piece of chewing gum stuck to my pants on the knee area... ... everything else was otherwise perfect. I simply took it off with a napkin and moved on. So we paid, and I mentioned it to the male worker in a suit (so assuming manager) who took the payment. It was just an off-hand comment that it was the only downside.. Well, he couldn't care less, dismissive, rude, and just walked away. There was a female worker next to him, she was very nice, she actually apologised that he didn't care and took our small complaint seriously by telling us they'd mention it to the staff so they'd clean under the bar table more thoroughly and she was shocked someone would put chewing gum there in first place. We really didn't care. It was an unfortunate minor incident, but the male manager's sour attitude made it worse. She, on the other hand, handled the minor issue complaint, like a pro. Kudos. Overall, I'd come back again. The staff (minus the manager) were wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. One even told us of the history of the restaurant when it was a bank. The food is phenomenonal. The atmopshere, lovely. Prices are reasonable for a higher end restaurant with experiences.

Fabulous experience took my fiancé here for his birthday and was not disappointed. Other than the food, the highlight was our waitress Ayana who was spectacular, professional and informative. Everything she recommended was great and she is a huge asset to this restaurant!

this place is next level! Food 10/10 definitely recommend the eggrice and GFC but if youre going crazy with it or retired and feel like splurging go get the A5 wagyu its soooo good. Also shout out to Luci this young man made our night, really enthusiastic the entire time just couldnt get enough of that man. Cant wait to visit again. 😊😊

Lucy was on top notch service. 🤝🏼

Amazing food and even better service. thank you Luci for the magnificent experience

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. I queried something on the menu and the waitress was able to describe the dish perfectly... I ordered it and it was exactly as she had described!

Excellent meal and service here. Staff are lovely and the building itself spot on. Highly recommend sushi. We went for a quick lunch but decided to have a proper meal it was that good.

Thankyou Lucie! Amazing service truly the most helpful and advisory we’ve ever experienced Truly heightened our evening

The most amazing dining experience I've ever had. As expected the food was on another level as well as the signature cocktails. The whole restaurant was unbelievable, from what was a banking hall it has been transformed into a breathtaking space. The staff where amazing, attentive and welcoming. Special thanks to Molly and Luci. This will likely be our wedding anniversary tradition, a perfect way to spend the first one.

We had a great time, the food was amazing. Absolutely excellent service from our waitress Ayana.

Lucky Cat is a restaurant that dreams are made of! You could not beat the food, drinks or experience. The staff were exceptional and took care of us in every single way. If we could, we both agreed that we would live there! It wasn’t just the cats that were lucky but us too, as Gordon and his team have made something that everyone needs to experience! Lucky Cat is a true food wonder of the world!

It was a fantastic experience, the food was spectacular. Sushi was fresh and hot foods was amazing. And our server, Kieran (hope I spelled it right), was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable with both drinks and food. Can't recommend enough with this restaurant!

If you value all the other aspects in a restaurant and not just the food, the restaurant is a 10. The place is beautiful, a special atmosphere is created with the way it is decorated and also with the music that surrounds you. The staff's attention is very good, they overflow with kindness. The food was very good but everything else was even better.

Well worth a visit. Great experience throughout the evening. Bar stuff friendly and helpful as well as waiters and everyone who saw to us. Made us very welcome and helped with food order etc!! Definitely recommend...only thing missing was Gordon himself!!

Incredible from start to finish! LOVED the duck boa buns and the GFC. I had a lovely cocktail called Ureshii which was delicous however my friend had the Okinawa Margarita which was insane! Can’t wait to go back and try. The whole team were brilliant but special thank you to Kul who looked after us so well. Planning my next visit already x

Eat there just before Christmas. Forgot to post review. Food was ok. Service was appallingly bad. In a large group told if one person in group had set menu had had to have set menu.

Very nice meal here for a birthday. Thank you Lucifer for your service!

Such an incredible experience, Lucifer was an incredible host 🥰

Absolutely amazing food. Great service and lucifer was fantastic with us all. Helps that he’s drop dead gorgeous

Lucifer was a STAR, what a way to make the already amazing experience even better !!

Lucifer was amazing The food and the menu was amazing We held our party here and it deserves 10 stars

Had an amazing time here for a bday meal. Immaculate service and such friendly staff. Thank you so much to Lucifer for looking after us, he was incredible!

Great service for private party from Luci. Excellent, thank you!

Omg amazing service for. #Anas30. Lucifer was fantastic. Amazing food

Amazing everything, great service, beautiful setting. Lucifer was our host and it made the evening even better!

Fantastic evening for my sisters birthday! Thank you to Tom and Lucifer for making it super special and personal. 💕 Highly recommend!

Great service !! Such a great 30th

This place was absolutely perfect for my friends 30th !! The food was so delicious and the staff was so so sweet ! This place is also super picturesque and we shared some lovely mermories !

Amazing service! Lucifer was our host it was great

Had a great time at the lucky cat, food was impeccable, service was attentive and atmosphere was great with a DJ not too over powering in the background. Great experience

Last Friday, I brought my mum for her 60th birthday to Lucky Cat, but left somewhat disappointed. The food was exquisite and I can't fault the detail, and flavour of the food (I recommend the crispy beef rice bowl), but the service was rushed with everything coming out too quick. Granted it was quiet which lacked atmosphere so the staff may have felt bored and to occupy themselves felt then needed to keep coming and checking on us every 5 mins, but it was too much, we couldn't relax. We asked for a break between starters and mains, which was acknowledged but never communicated and again we got another course we were not ready for. One of the servers who explained the menu miss-informed is of 2x items - one that we were having a complimentary glass of prosecco and not champagne, when we paid for the latter, and secondly that one of the desserts was pastry filled with ice cream. My mum chose the dessert sold to us, but there was no pastry at all, it was completely unlike what we were told. I didn't expect a waiter for a Gordon Ramsey restaurant to not know the menu. The venue and the food were amazing, but the experience was not, however, I would like to mention one member of staff (Luci) who was extremely polite and friendly, and put a smile on mine and my mum's face for what was meant to be a celebratory occasion, but sadly as a whole we won't go back.

Came on a Saturday evening for my partner's birthday - had an amazing night. Highly recommend the duck bao, the tempura monkfish, the GFC chicken and the egg fried rice. Cocktails are pricey but really good. Service was fantastic. There is a £15 charge is you try to take the little golden cat chopsticks holders home!! Well worth a visit!

Review for Waiter: I had the pleasure of being served by Luci an exceptional waiter during my recent dining experience. His funny and attentive demeanor immediately created a relaxed vibe, setting a lively and enjoyable tone for the evening. His charisma was certainly unique, and he effortlessly created a great rapport with our group. His presence really made the night special, Thank you for the outstanding service!

The menu is filled with incredible small plates. A modern take on Asian food that works, because they have put their focus in the right place. The food is so delicious and every plate is memorable and beautifully presented. The vibe is lively and stylish, making it a great place to for a special night out. The staff are friendly and know the menu inside out. The cocktails are creative and go perfectly with the food. If you’re looking for a special meal, this is the best restaurant in Manchester.

My favourite restaurant in Manchester and it just can’t be beaten. Food is faultless and delicious, cocktails are incredible (and strong), atmosphere is amazing and service was second to non, can’t wait for my next visit Thankyou!!!!!!!

We celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary, and the food, service and atmosphere were as exquisite! Our server Luci was great service with a smile. Highly recommend both food and drinks

The restaurant building is very historical. The 19th-century building used to be a bank. The restroom downstairs has a good atmosphere. The Japanese food is decent. The rice is mixed with a delicious sauce. The food includes edamame, spring tempura rice, and desserts. Some are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The mixed flavor lunch 33 is quite nice to eat this way. The waiter is also cute and has the same name as my cat Lucky.

Truly disappointed. Wanted to treat my sister to a lovely graduation lunch but we were left very underwhelmed by the food. Staff was lovely and they really tried to make it an experience but something was definitely lacking. Drinks were tasty but wouldn't dine here again.

Ayana was an EXCEPTIONAL server, and the food was scrumptious. Every bit yum. The duck bao, egg fried rice, lamb and short rib all top notch.

Perfect from start to finish. The food was out of this world. This was a Birthday treat for my wife and they even added a nice touch with a birthday plate for her.Cant wait to come back.

Ramona served us and was very knowledgeable about the menu and she recommended some great dishes ,we had a great night and the food was fantastic.

We loved this place. Roberta was very attentive and recommended a number of delicious dishes. The toilets and vault are incredible too! The atmosphere is incredible and the food is lovely.

Amazing food and great service! Thank you, Ayana!

One of the nicest meals I have ever had - the attention to detail was so obvious in every aspect: the food, the service and the venue. Staff were so attentive, knowledgeable and made us so welcome. I will most definitely be coming back and would 100% recommend.

This was possibly the best meal I’ve ever eaten. Can’t tell you how good the food was and how amazing the staff were throughout. Everything so precise and so much care taken in every aspect about the visit. 100% will be coming back.

A very classy location. The food is superb and the service was impeccable. The staff is friendly, attentive, professional and knowledgeable. We felt welcomed and looked after. Worth visiting!

The atmosphere was amazing . The food was exciting and fresh . The service was fantastic especially Luci the waiter. My husband and i took our daughter celebrating to celebrate her 30th birthday with her boyfriend . The lucky cat made it a perfect day for her

I had high expectations of this restaurant based on reviews. Avoid - no atmosphere, the staff were constantly upselling to us the whole way through our meal. Food was very average. The server was lovely, but honestly that was the only positive thing about the dining experience. I asked for a vodka soda - £17… it is just a constant case of trying to add money to the bill so they can increase their tips. I know this may seem negative, but I think it’s important to highlight.

The staff is polite and attentive to provide a wonderful eating experience. Special thanks to Kesira for going above and beyond to provide an excellent customer service! Congratulations to the whole team! We were all really impressed with the quality of food! p.s. personal favourite dishes: chirashi ceviche, sweetcorn hot sauce; beef tataki, truffle and smoked ponzu; smoked bbq aubergine, chilli crunch.

Great night at a promotional event. Food and settings were superb, drinks were delectable but the amazing, friendly staff stole the show. Especially AK who took time to explain the sake and its culture. Made my night!

Very friendly staff and great atmosphere Very limited menu but tasty

Avoid! My girlfriend and I got really bad food poisoning. I had to send my main back as it was really bad and knew it tasted off. (You can see how oily it is on the photo) So many other places in Manchester city centre offering a much better atmosphere, plus no food poisoning. We complained, completed a food health and safety form and they offered us a bottle of champagne… even though we said we would never be going back.

Delicious food and fantastic service. Thanks to Ayana who looked after us perfectly

Lovely atmosphere for a bussiness dinner or a date night, not exactly for a family dinner as our experience were :) This was of course expected due to the fine dining culture however my family still looks for that big plate shared food type of experience and I can't blame them. Great food and service, highly recommend ribeye and egg fried rice, duck baos were really tasty as well. I would also like to give special thanks to Ayana, so charming and kind. My parents especially really felt the hospitality as tourists in Manchester. Deffo worth a try if you're a foodie like me and have a bit to spare.

We really enjoyed our brunch here yesterday. The food was fantastic and the staff were helpful and knowledgeable. We will definitely be going back to try the evening menu in the future. Thanks for a great experience!

Amazing meal. served by Ayana who looked after us well. The flavours of the food were 10/10 as always

Mo was an excellent waiter. Couldn’t have asked for more. Made my evening and his knowledge of the food and guiding us through the menu really helped. He was exceptional and is a credit to lucky cat!

Mo, what a great service 5 stars Food was great to but Mo was the the 🌟
