Stock Market Grill in Manchester

Me and my wife were invited to lunch at The Stock Market Grill, by my stepson, who works there. For a Sunday lunch it was extremely quiet, but I personally took that as a good thing, as we would get served quicker! The decor was absolutely beautiful, the restaurant is located on the original trading floor of the stock exchange. We were greeted with a small glass of champagne each and each member of staff was so welcoming and so happy to see my stepson, which was lovely. I had the steak tartare starter, which, considering it was my first time trying this, and it was topped with an egg yolk (I’m not an egg person at all), it was sensational! My wife had the Waldorf salad which was lovely but far too large for a starter. We’re not complaining haha! We both had the beef for main which was so tender, the beef dripping potatoes were dreamy, the creamed leeks and glazed carrots divine, and the side of chargrilled asparagus was off the scale!! For desert I had two pieces of brown butter fudge (that’s all I could manage after the main), and my wife had the profiteroles. They looked beautiful and tasted of Ferrero Rocher so my wife was more than pleased!! Overall we have never had Sunday lunch in such grand surroundings. But I’m amazed that there have only been 6 reviews prior to mine since this establishment opened. The food was wonderful, the customer service more so, and it needs more recognition as this is truly a gem for Manchester, and it deserves shouting about!!

Really nice Sunday lunch with vey attentive staff, preceded by really good cocktails, the wine was pricey (of course). And, as I say with all restaurants, there’s no point in doing Yorkshire pudding with roast beef as it can never be as good as at home. But it was really nice and unhurried

Amazing Sunday lunch in a fantastic setting. The roast beef was perfect and so was the service. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic service as soon as we walked in - attentive & friendly hit not over the top. Tables are spaced out, which gives it a luxe feel when most restaurants try to cram too many tables in. Food was outstanding - I had Cullen skink for starter, which was tasty & had a lovely creamy texture, topped with croutons & mussels. Then pork chop with caramelised apple sauce, cooked to perfection, with the bacon hotpot side (savoury & delicious) with the best dripping chips I’ve ever tasted - my first time trying confit potato, and it was a winner! Followed by delicious hazelnut profiteroles smothered in warm chocolate sauce. Fabulous cocktail menu as well. Not cheap, but not as expensive as I expected. Loved it all, will definitely be back. Recommend booking a table at the Sterling bar beneath the restaurant for before your meal to make the experience extra special.

The starters of trout and Cullen skink were superb. My friends main course of the cid was she said delicious. My rabbit suet pudding was a little strong ( might be my tastebuds ) The wine was expensive but well worth it. Staff were brilliant.

Had a really lovely meal here in very grand surroundings - the room is absolutely beautiful, really impressive. The mussel Cullen skink was so delicious and my partner said he thought the pork chop was the best he’d ever had.

From the off, staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. My party all commented on how lovely the waitstaff were, most especially our waiter (shoutout to Martin!). We went for a bit of everything on the menu, oysters were a standout! As were the langoustines and friesian rib eye. The sides and started were beautiful too, everything well presented and delicious. Definitely a memorable birthday meal, and certainly a place I will recommend to others.
