Off The Grid in Manchester

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly but not overbearing service and excellent food. The five of us had a range of small plates and main meals - really decent portion sizes and tasty - unfortunately no room for dessert!

We were there for Mother’s Day (5 of us) including a 5 month old baby. I was very disappointed with the service we got as we were sat in a corner and had to wait 20 mins before we were offered any drinks. We were ready to walkout of there but thankfully a waiter reluctantly asked us whether we like to have any drinks. Small plates and mains were good and reasonably priced. Dessert wasn’t exactly great. Churros tasted salty and like seafood. May be it was fried in the same oil. Wouldn’t come back.

An absolute hidden gem. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. All the meals came out hot and were extremely tasty and would definitely come back again. I saw their post on instagram and booked especially for Mother’s Day and the travel was well worth it! It was beautiful and can’t wait to come back.

We booked Off the Grid for an anniversary meal this evening and whilst the food was good, we left feeling a bit underwhelmed by the overall experience. We arrived just after 6pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was around half full - service was attentive upon arrival and our drinks order taken promptly which we liked. Wine arrived a few moments later and we placed our food order - five dishes to share between two; a few starters and a “main”. Unfortunately this is where the “experience” side fell short. 10 mins after taking our food order, all of our dishes had arrived at the table in quick succession so by the time we’d eaten, our whole meal (/experience) was over and done in 30 minutes or so. As an anniversary meal this should have been the focal point of our evening but it felt so rushed and cut short. It would have been much more sensible to stagger the dishes so we’d have been more inclined to order more drinks and stayed for longer. We hadn’t even finished our wine by the time we’d finished our food. Nobody came to check on how our meal was or to see if we needed more drinks etc. Food wise, a good 7.5/10. Padron peppers and grilled prawns were both really good. Burnt belly ends a bit disappointing as more slow cooked bbq pork bites - we’d expected charred, crispy bits of belly pork but wasn’t the case. We also ordered the truffle burger and there wasn’t even a sniff of truffle - a very good burger but not as ordered. Would consider going again but be very clear not to rush the service and would reconsider our order.

We were served by Leah who was really attentive and helped us decide what we should choose from the menu. The food is fab!

Second meal at Off the Grid and just as impressed. Food, service and staff all 5/5...has rapidly become my favourite place for dining out.

We dined at Off The Grid for my partner’s birthday as a party of 18. They contacted before for a preorder and it was great as it meant everything ran seamlessly while we were there. They catered for one of our guests who was coeliac preparing her food separately. The service was excellent, the staff were so friendly. Drinks and food came out very quickly. The food was incredible and everybody commented how much they enjoyed their meals and it was a great choice of restaurant. I can’t praise it enough, will definitely be back.

We absolutely loved the food and experience at Off the grid. Haven’t been before but so glad to have this place on our radar. Surprised at the variety on the menu as I thought it was meant to be a Nando’s like place. They have small plates, burgers, steaks, everything we had was fantastic. Will definitely visit again.

Good tapas from a newer restaurant on the Chorlton Terrace. Really enjoyed our meal. Well priced, good service and food was great. I also loved the decor, really fresh and classy. The only reason I’m giving 4 rather than 5 stars is that I did have one piece of halloumi that was cold in the middle, but with halloumi it’s not the end of the world. Going back tonight, looking forward to another good meal.

Off the Grid is a hidden gem in Manchester. All the food was incredibly fresh and well portioned. Good ambience and excellent music playlist; lovely and helpful staff. Highly recommend the prawns, mixed frito, Greek salad and burger. We will back soon to sample the grilled meats that looked amazing coming out of the kitchen.

First visit to Off the Grid but really enjoyed it. The food was delicious and felt authentically Mediterranean. We lived in Spain for many years and this was as good as many an Andalusian tapas bar. We were a group of 3 and chose a selection of the small plates and every one of them exceeded expectations. We will definitely go back. Staff were friendly, helpful and very understanding of my husbands nneds. He has Alzheimer’s but staff made him feel welcome and valued.

Very pleasant experience, friendly and helpful staff. Lovely food, would recommend the octopus which was cooked perfectly. Would recommend.

Lovely meaty deliciousness. Great flavours, great service and pints of Super Bock. Highly recommended.

We had a large family group meal at Off the Grid in chorlton -amazing food, each dish was perfect. Great service, friendly atmosphere, would highly recommend

Not a single negative! Great food, friendly staff and food served quickly in a lovely setting. Amazing food which was all reasonably priced! Hard to pick a favourite but beef cheeks will definitely be ordered again and loved the carne asado. Even for small sharing plates, the portions were quite generous! We had about 6 different plates and are already planning on what to have next time we visit.

Really, really tasty food and friendly prompt service. Highly recommend the beef cheeks and pork belly. If you’re like me and just want to try a bit of everything then it’s perfect because they serve small plates. You don’t have to make your mind up on one thing, instead you can have a bit of everything that takes your fancy.

Been on my list of places to eat for a while now, and boy was it worth it! We had the olives and Padron peppers to start then my mother in law had a burger while me and my wife shared a few plates, Ocotpus,...

I came here with 3 friends for dinner and we really enjoyed the atmosphere, the staff and the food. My friend and I shared a few of the small plates: mushroom & truffle croquettes (these were very very good), grilled broccoli (tasty), aubergine parmigiana (delicious...

Apparently mad busy at weekends and you can see why. Some of the best seasoned and cooked meat I’ve had in ages, burnt ends and halloumi in honey were standouts. Lamb main dish fell off the bone with lovely Greek salad side. Service v friendly,...

Delicious food, well priced. Good menu, friendly, relaxed but efficient service. Really good supper out, thanks to all the team.

Really great quality food - many little things that made the burger or veg-burger or Greek salad better than many others! Not the biggest menu, but a good range and both adults have 2 other things in mind for the future- so that shows it...

We visit OTG once or twice a month, the food is amazing especially the Burnt Ends, the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble, Will be back in this Sunday.

The service was amazing and friendly, the waitress helped us choose our food for a big group of vegetarians! Food was incredible, the vegan burger is so good and goes well with a truffle croquettes as a starter! WOULD VISIT AGAIN!!

I must have come to off the grid 5 or 6 times now and I cannot believe how great the food is. I have ventured around most of the restaurants in Chorlton and Didsbury and I would put this up there with the best. Great...

We visited based off the great reviews that this place has, but were left disappointed. We went on a Tuesday evening and there was plenty of availability for tables. Lots of options of small plates on the menu and we had a mix of beef,...

We were wary, it looked half full but took a punt; and we loved it! We had parmigiana which was good and broccoli which was beautifully served with red hummus and alioli (why can’t most places cook broccoli?) But the star of the show was...

Honestly amazing food and lovely staff we had a great time and we can't wait to go back and try the dishes we haven't tried!

Excellent grilled dishes with a friendly service. A very welcome addition to the area. Really happy to see the underrepresented Portuguese cuisine given a chance to shine.

This is a fabulous new Chorlton restaurant. The food is cooked beautifully and wine is good. Sara and Leah our waitresses were lovely. I’d recommend anyone to go here if you like food cooked with love and care

Incredible food! Really tasty and lots of choices on the menu. Leah gave us really amazing service - so friendly and engaging. We will definitely return. Thanks so much!

Really enjoyed our meal at Off The Grid this eve ☺️ Service was excellent and the music playlist was superb - I was shazamming all eve Thank you 🙏🏼

Staff were super friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The food was very tasty with great portion sizes. And such a fun atmosphere and music. We really enjoyed it and will definitely come back!

We ordered the truffle croquettes, padron peppers, prawns, pulled chicken and honey pork belly. Each item was outstanding. As someone who doesn’t like fatty meat (I don’t usually eat pork) I was surprised as the pork was the best item we tried. Very polite service...

The small plates are delicious with a varied choice. And the service was super friendly and positive. Going back again soon

Had a meal on Good Friday and it was wonderful. Dogs are allowed in the outside seating area and this deserves a big star. Thanks. We ordered tapas and they arrived quickly and oh boy they all tasted brilliant. Excellent waiting staff. Food was wonderful...

Lovely restaurant visited yesterday with a group of friends the service was great and the food was amazing so much choice and variety. Will definitely be visiting again!

Went here with a group of friends, the small plates are so hard to choose from and were all absolutely delicious. Great selection of craft beers and staff are super friendly. The prawn dish definitely lives up to expectations!

As regulars, we have always enjoyed eating at Off the Grid and recommended it to others, the food is excellent there. However tonight was very disappointing as the BYOB is no longer an option and the wine selection was down to only 1 red or...

We have visited Off The Grid several times, as a couple and in groups. The food is always fantastic and well presented. The staff are very helpful and friendly. At very busy times it does appear to be short staffed by the waiting staff always...

Had a lovely evening with some great food and service. Wanted to select everything off the menu but had to sacrifice some. The steak and prawns certainly didn’t disappoint. As an added bonus our four legged friend was allowed to join us. Would highly recommend.

We had heard great things about Off The Grid and we weren’t disappointed. Really comfy seats and could actually hear each other, even when it gets busy. Brilliant food - imaginative menu and perfectly cooked. The staff were attentive and friendly. Absolutely great night. Good...

Fabulous food and lovely service. A lovely busy atmosphere. We had the small plates and loved them all. Will definitely be back

Loved the food. Sophisticated tapas plus a few other things. Very tasty and beautifully presented. Excellent friendly service. Been missing Juan Sanches which was on this site, so very very welcome.

Went to this restaurant last night with friends. The atmosphere was very good. The small plates very generous and tasty as were the main course. The staff were helpful & attentive. Well worth a visit and a good addition to the selection of foods on...

This was my second visit and it is hands down the best food I’ve had in Manchester for a long time. Everything cooked to perfection and tastes amazing! The service is great too! The beef cheeks are stunning! The burger messy but outstanding!

When people consider making a trip for some dinner in Chorlton they usually throw out the same 2 or 3 names when they discuss the best places to go. Make no mistake, Off The Grid is up there there with these. The same owners as...

What a fabulous night. Let’s start with Leah - stellar waitress couldn’t do enough. Overall grub was top notch. I can’t name a better burger in chorlton after 6 years as a foodie and restaurant hopper

Best meal I had for after long time. Really nice staff with great service. All of the dishes are amazing. Pautugese chicken was the best I've had in Manchester. Really chilled atmosphere. Highly recommended!

I went to Off The Grid, with my partner and had a lovely experience. The food was lovely, I would highly recommend the piri-piri chicken, the pork belly burnt ends and the patatas bravas. All of which came in great time and tasted fab and...

This restaurant has authentic Portuguese food that is fresh from the grill and very tasty. The food is moderately priced and as it is BYO alcohol, so it makes for a great value evening. I went with a large group of friends and a few...

I'm an infrequent visitor to Chorlton and booked for 9.00 on a Thursday after reading the positive reviews. We walked into an empty restaurant only to be told that the kitchen had closed! We had a decent curry over the road at Corriander instead

Four of us came for a pre-booked meal at 8pm on a Saturday. Restaurant was half full at best. We waited half an hour for a drink and 45 minutes for starters. A couple of these (halloumi, prawns) were Ok, but the calamari tasted of...

Wonderful meal and service at off the grid. Regular visitors it never disappoints. Love the small plates - mushroom croquettes are to die for! Kids love it too!

Second time visiting and honestly one of our favourite places to dine in Manchester. Beautiful food, great service and the byob is a nice touch. The beef cheeks are a particular highlight!

I really liked the food and the people are really nice and friendly!😀 The best thing I ate was the salt cod croquettes. Mmm

Lovely atmosphere, the squid was a bit overcooked and the prawns had no flavour at all but it was very busy as it was new year's eve, so we will give this place another chance on a quieter day. They didn't have some of of...

went on a friday night with the mrs arrived first impressions were it wasnt a place to get dressed up for didnt know it was BYO so had to make the short walk to the offy not a problem sat down wgere we were greeted...

We turned up and were greeted by a lovely lady offering us any table we wanted (early reservation) We ordered 6 small plates between 2 of us and it was definitely enough. The highlights were the patatas bravas and the ribs. All of the food...

First time allowed to eat inside, great service and fantastic food. Steak was amazing and its nice to see a chief with enthusiasm about his cooking.

Company on my table could have been better. But the food, atmosphere and service was ace. Special mention to Georgia and Simon.

Relaxed lovely meal with friendly staff.Small tapas style sharing meal. Nice choice. Only down point is that they’ve stopped doing crushed potatoes which had been recommended to us!!

Amazing Food and great atmosphere. I have further recommended it to more of my friends and we would definitely visit again.

Extraordinary.meets an elite standard by which you judge all the other restaurants. Food is delicious and beautifull presented. The staff is always ready to help and the premises is extremely clean, the atmosphere is lovely.

The food is excellent and a great place. The service was fantastic. We are fortunate to have this place just few minutes drive from my home. Very high standard. Off the grid, no doubt can be highly recommended. Can't wait to return again.

Ordered loads of the small plates, would recommend the chicken croquettes and the prawns however all were amazing! Our server sam couldn’t have been more helpful and was extremely friendly

Went with the family (2 adults, 3 children) & everyone loved it! The octopus, the grid burgers the fries & the churros were all absolutely delicious, can’t wait to return

Only place to get authentic Portuguese chicken in Manchester. Remind me of eating at A valenciana in lisbon. Superb service and great atmosphere

Went to Off the Grid on a wet and windy bank holiday Monday. It was one of the few places that had tables available but this will definitely change as more people discover the place. There was 4 of us and we shared 4 small...
