Had a fantastic meal here yesterday, great atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable service and tasty food. A group of six of us shared 7 small plates and 3 sides and it was the perfect amount, all dishes cooked to perfection. My first time here and I'll definitely be returning.

Just go, you'll not regret it. We were here NYE and despite the evening being a wash out, Street Urchin provided an oasis of calm, warmth and culinary excellence, all wrapped up in a friendly, welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. If I was to find any fault it would be how hard to make a decision about what to have from the menu - maybe that's why they let you have a heads up if what's on offer earlier on the day of your booking.

From the moment we walked in on a rainy new years eve we were given a warm and friendly greeting and this great service continued throughout our meal. Menu and drinks order taken very quicky even though they were busy as was our food order. Staff knowledgeable the menu items. When food arrived well presented and cooked beautifully. We were very happy with out visit from start to finish would definitely come back!highly recommend thanks guys.

Amazing place!! Just wish I’d tried it sooner! Great service, lovely staff. The food is fab! The menu was emailed to us on the morning of our booking, which was a lovely touch! Lots of choice on the main menu and the specials. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious! The Manchester Moneybags for dessert were a favourite!

The restaurant has a stunning interior, but unfortunately, the service was super slow, and the food didn’t live up to expectations. We ordered the duck leg and beef veal strip loin . While the plates looked great, the food was disappointing. The duck leg was dry, the beef lacked flavour, and the potatoes on both plates were undercooked so as the carrots—even the thinly sliced ones with the duck. The crispy wild mushrooms with the beef were amazing, and the sauce was delicious. The wine was also excellent, but overall, not enough to make up for the rest.

A five-star restaurant in the city centre and well-received Ancoats area. The portions are significant even for small plates. Excellent wine selections and fantastic seafood dishes. I like the sauces and the sides come with the dishes. Economical and inexpensive for such a quality foods.

First visit to this wonderful little restaurant in town and certainly will not be the last! The food is prepared and cooked by the excellent team in front of you. One of our party is vegetarian but had several choices to go for. Starting with Cod cheeks which were simply the best I have ever tasted and followed by a treacle basted pheasant take on a Christmas dinner which was simply stunning. That was me done and believe me I have a healthy appetite. Another little touch not seen that often anymore is the absence of a service charge and no pressure to tip staff, obviously we did as the standard was as exceptional as the food. Well done 👏

This place is epic. 4th time I've been now over last couple years. Always top notch. Proper portion sizes. Fish always superb. The chef creates some magic in the kitchen 5 🌟 & they don't automatically add a service charge for our group of 3 which I appreciate, and leave a good one! Couple bottles of cracking wine. About £80 pp each all in with 3 courses each. Stuffed😃

Second time visiting and it won’t be the last. Amazing food that is of a very high quality. The menu is always changing and is very inventive. Service is always friendly. It is a relaxed dining experience and one to not rush. Between two of us we had three small plates and one big plate followed by two desserts. We shared everything which allowed us the enjoy a wider variety which was great because it was so hard to choose it was all so delicious. A great experience and I can’t wait to come back when I’m next in Manchester.

Found this restaurant on Trip Advisor. It was a bit late in the evening and was pleased to see their were a couple of empty seats and a great looking menu. Very pleasant staff member informed me that the kitchen was closing and I was too late. It was a great looking venue, so I left a little dejected. Just around the corner I found Surf and Soul, they serve Cajun style chicken and seafood. I was pleasantly surprised by my first experience of 'Soul' food, but will revisit my original choice ASAP.

Street Urchin is one of Manchester’s hidden gems and is an excellent restaurant serving hearty & delicious meals. Uniquely, there is no menu online, as it can change daily, and I received a photo of their menu on their blackboard with a list of mouth watering (& creative) dishes that shows a clear respect of and passion for high quality local ingredients (i.e. wild mallard). The restaurant’s concept is simple: a range of small plates and large plates as well as the specials and desserts. The service is very friendly however our main dishes took much longer than we would’ve liked, which can be attributed to everything being cooked from scratch plus it was a busy night (despite being mid-week). We were a table of 3 and everyone loved both their small and large dishes choices. The mains dishes were not only delicious but huge too, which was lucky because we were all starving! Street Urchin is now one of my fav restaurants in Manchester and shall definitely return again.

Really friendly and informal service for unexpectedly big portions of great food and quite honestly a pescatarian's dream. Pigeon with smoked beetroot and walnut was a beautifully inspired combination, but where they really seem to shine is their seafood. Delighted to see whole gurnard on the bone with the courage to pair it with salsify, and beautifully juicy scallops in a melting curry veloute you could drink by the bowl full set off beautifully by crisp shreds of samphire. The menu seems to change by the day which is fantastic as it gives me a great excuse to go back. 😉

Excellent meal in a friendly cosy setting. I had the creamy seafood bisque. It was packed with flavour with a great amount of seafood including mussels, crab wontons and a large piece of perfectly cooked coley. A fantastic dish. For dessert I had the mango kulfi with pineapple fritters. It was delicious and light, a perfect end to the meal. The service was excellent. A wonderful experience.

Una comida perfecta en todos los sentidos! El menú era brillante al igual que la ejecución - algunas de las combinaciones más interesantes y deliciosas de elementos. Las porciones son generosas y la carne o el pescado incluye algún tipo de verdura. El personal era maravilloso.

Me and my partner recently discovered street urchin and it quickly became a favorite spot for us. The rotating specials menu makes every vist new, normally including seasonal fish or meat. The dishes are always high quality, taste fresh, and you can tell that the chefs put in a lot of care into the dishes. Although slightly on the pricey side for us as students, I think the price is completely fair. There's also a range of meat, fish and vegetable dishes based on your dietary preferences. The atmosphere is cosy and quaint, again we can see the care taken to the environment making sure it's clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and attentive. If you're in Manchester I would 100 percent recommend coming to street urchin if you can. Particular shout out to the raw monkfish, one of the best appetizers I've ever had.

We visited because of the excellent reviews and the location. We were celebrating our son moving to the city. Loved the design with all the hanging plants, it felt relaxed and not noisy so easy to talk. There was a buzzy, warm atmosphere. I wasn't sure what my husband would think of the menu because he can be fussy and doesn't eat much seafood but he chose the lamb and said it was delicious. I had the small plate of mussels, which was enough for me- a beautiful creamy sauce and bread to mop it up. My son had the crispy monkfish which was beautifully presented and had a variety of subtle flavours. We chose 3 different desserts so that we could try each others and loved them all- a moist coconut cake, treacle tart and little manchester tart parcels. The service was excellent. We would definately recommend and will return when we have another occasion to celebrate or just fancy a really good meal in a great setting.

The desserts were both delicious and well-priced. Special shout-out to the lovely maître d' who made us feel very welcome. The only downside was that service was a bit slow, but given how busy they were, it's understandable. Overall, a fantastic spot worth visiting!

Don't waste your time - or money! Food is okay, but certainly not worth the prices. What was most shocking was the service: unapologetically slow despite the place being empty. We had to ask the lady with a short red bob several times to come over and collect the empty plates, then had to almost beg for the desserts menu, then had to ask again for her to come over to actually be able to order the dessert. Appreciate the laid back atmosphere, but as said, those prices most certainly require better service.

We finally had the pleasure of dining at “Street Orchin” this evening, after several attempts hampered by their Monday and Tuesday closures. It was well worth the wait! From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the simple yet cool decor, which perfectly set the tone for the evening. The food was exceptional—each dish was unique, flavorful, and showcased the chef’s evident passion for cooking. The desserts were equally delightful and distinctive. The service was impeccable. Both waitresses were friendly, polite, and attentive, enhancing our overall experience. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and service. Overall, our experience was incredibly enjoyable and left us eager to return. We highly recommend “Street Orchin” to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

This family run restaurant is a little out of the city centre but definitely deserves a visit. We've been there quite a few times now and always leave having had a lovely evening. The secret is out so booking is strongly recommended. We arrived at 6:30 pm on a Thursday and it was already ticking over nicely with a terrific atmosphere. There isn't a menu as such but a couple of chalkboards with the days specials on. On this occasion we had the skate wing which was done with ginger and was absolutely amazing. The veal scallop was also brilliant and both were big portions with really well matched accompaniments. The wine list is carefully thought out and not expensive. The services is also top class so a visit here is highly recommended.

After an afternoons walk to Salford Quays on a beautiful sunny day, we wanted a seafood dinner, and chose Street Urchin, a small private restaurant that specialises in seafood and game dishes. They have made the most of their bijou space...turning a concrete box into an intimate and cosy dining room, over 2 floors. There are no table menus, all the information you need is written on the large blackboards ....so they can be regularly updated or changed. We selected the crab thermidor and the haddock and clam chowder from their small dishes, and the seared sea bass and the rare t bone pork from their large. Here a warning...if you are from London...do not expect their small to be that! They are equivalent to a main course! The balance of flavours, the use of ingredients....they were both excellent. We started to worry if we would manage our mains!! And then they arrived! They were superb. The sea bass was flaked and perfectly cooked, the pork in it cider sauce was tender and full of flavour. Another win. So...we did find room for dessert...I went for the almond and coconut cake and hubby went for the sorbets.. strawberry daquari and mango, ginger and vodka. I turned down the Manchester money bags as I didn't have enough room...but deep fried filo pastry filled with custard with jam!!! That's Def for next time. The cake was warm and moist... exactly as it should be, the sorbets...you could happily drink them! A huge congratulations to Kevin and Jetan, Milana, Roxanne, Rachel...you made our evening. I've never said this before, but I'd move to Manchester just to be able to eat here.

Really interesting mix of food dishes to try. You can see and taste the effort that goes into them. Tried cuttlefish for the first time (like rubbish calamari) and the Braised Beef Short Rib was quite impressive! My kids can be fussy eaters, but we're eating things that they wouldn't normally go for and enjoying them because they were done so well. The staff I felt could have been a little more attentive, and there was this really odd moment when we first arrived where a server said something to my son in a way that was borderline unnecessary, (but can't completely confirm it was meant the way it sounded). I would recommend the restaurant, simply for the range of interesting food on offer.

Like the decor though it’s a bit weird, old fashioned may be but cute. We had our starter however main came after 45 mins. We didn’t complaint as we’re enjoying our drink and it was kind of busy. Eventually our main arrived which was delicious and the waitress told us that they’re going to knock off our bottle of wine from the bill for main being late which was a lovely gesture. I’ll definitely go back.

Restaurant on the main street in ancoats / near town. Visited during the weekend around lunch time - make sure to make a reservation. If you have pets, they're allowed but make sure you tell the restaurant in advance otherwise they get very picky (we went with our dog and forgot to tell them in advance so when we arrived, they said that we can bring him but if it dirties the carpet under the table, we have to pay for it. Not sure why they didnt just give us a different table without carpet underneath). Menu has some unique dishes and meats - it changes on a regular basis. I ordered the partridge and it was ok. A little dry but overall taste was good.

Wowser ! What a great dining experience. Travelling in from the airport, I decided to stay overnight in Manchester just to have dinner here ! I was not disappointed. Warm welcome and front of house service is excellent. The menu is always so daringly different. Very imaginative. Different combinations of textures and flavours. Global flavours ! Menu changes very frequently with an accent on fresh fish and seafood. Dishes are also very well presented. Menu is on a chalkboard, and the variety is amazing - very talented chef and team. They also have a specials board. The wine lost has grown substantially, and there are some cheeky little wines on there , carefully selected, with some surprises! A wonderful dining experience. Thank you. I believe that they serve the best food in Manchester.

One of the highest calibre meals we’ve had in Manchester, a fresh seafood delight. Even the dressing on the side salad was fantastic which shows that all aspects of the meal were thought out. At the pricier end but portions more than make up for this, didn’t even have space for dessert which is really saying something. Restaurant downstairs is slightly strangely laid out which means that one of you is likely to be just facing the street - this is really the only thing I could think of that could be tweaked perhaps. Would definitely come here again and highly recommend for anyone in Manchester looking for high quality food which is also filling.

Firstly, an amazingly relaxed space. The brutalist concrete interior is softened with lots of plants and greenery and quirky furniture and finishings, making it an unique dining space. We were shown a table upstairs, which was perfect. Excellent service from friendly staff, who seem skilled and intuitively able to deliver their very best. The food....is simply exceptional, using the best market ingredients of the day. One of the best dining experiences I've had.

Amazing restaurant. Starters/small plates. I had trout crudo with orange slices and slivers of crab in batter, my dining companion had pulled duck empanada with plum chutney. Beautiful presentation, great colours, flavours, textures. Mains/large plates. I had scallops in cream sauce, my dining companion had calves liver, both seasoned and cooked to perfection. Desert was mango kulfi ice crean with rum soaked pineapple fritters. Yum. We will be back. Our dishes were off the specials board. The main menu had many other equally appealing dishes.

Buzzy, friendly atmosphere and thoughtfully put together food at our first visit to Street Urchin. We had a mix of seafood and meat dishes across the main menu and specials. The plates are well cooked and have a great combination of flavours, something that was true for all the dishes we tried as a party of four. Everyone loved their food and the service at this fantastic restaurant. Would visit again.

Quality little restaurant. High quality ingredients with top notch cooking and service. Will request the mezzanine next time just for that bit of privacy away from the road.

I was very excited to eat here, but found the food under seasoned and disappointing. The meat and fish were cooked nicely, but the presentation was messy and the flavours a-bit mismatched. We were misguided on the dish sizes, the large plates were huge and enough for 2 to share. As suggested we had ordered 2 smalls and 2 larges, which was very expensive. The wine list was also not great, considering the price of their dishes I would expect better quality wines to be on offer.

Didn't have a reservation but we got in just in time as people were turned away afterwards. Service was great, the staff were polite courteous and helpful. The food, what can I say, absolutely amazing, the flavours , the ingredients, out of this world, I've eaten in many fancy restaurants and they don't compare.

My third visit. A lovely friendly welcome and wonderful food. My beef carpaccio was superb and the scallops were by far the best I've had. Altogether an excellent experience.

Return visit as it’s one of my favourite places in Manchester for English market food with a twist. Staff are all very friendly and food is always excellent. The pigeon starter was excellent. I have always been a fan of pigeon and small birds but often find it is dry, which it was not here. The lemon tart to finish was fantastic. Great portions for the price and a lovely wine list. Would highly recommend.

An outstanding independent Manchester restaurant offering an inventive, constantly changing menu. We've eaten there several times and have always been delighted with the food and friendly service / atmosphere.

Updated 19th Feb 2025; I've been back whenever I can since my first visit but when I heard the sad closure news we had to get back before it was too late. Hotel booked, table booked, visit enjoyed. An excellent experience as always with my favourite Bklyn Masala the obvious choice, the amazing completely unique experience ticked all the same boxes it did the first time. So happy to make it one last time but so sad to see it so busy that people had to be turned away, if only things weren't so economically terrible right now. I wish the owners and all the staff the best and hope this is a pause rather than the end. ........... Original Review from 2019: I don't tend to throw around 5* reviews like many people do, I consider a 4* as a solid endorsement of a great meal, visit or service, so here I am giving 5 stars and, if I'm honest, I'd give 6 if I could. Background: I stumbled across The Hip Hop Chip Shop while wandering around Google Maps one day, I'm a local guide, general nerd, food fan etc and, let's face it, the name is great. I saw it, I clicked, I liked what I saw. The problem is I'm in Leeds, The Hip Hop Chip Shop isn't. So a plan was made and today, Sunday the 26th, we travelled over with the sole aim of lunch here. The risk paid off and then some. A warm welcome on arrival from incredibly friendly front of house staff and a really chilled out vibe from the unobtrusive chilled out music. We were seated quickly with menus at a table of our choice and then began the task of selecting from the extensive and varied menu. I went for one if the specials, the curry battered fish with massala chips, raita and mango chutney, a can of D&B and some battered pickles, my dining partner the chilli battered sausage with chips and curry sauce and some chilli onion rings. Wow! Everything was beyond expectations, firstly the service is fast, the portion sizes are incredibly generous and the taste... amazing. Those massala chips are a revelation, the curry fish something I should have had in my life years ago. Battered pickles, life changing. Everything else I tried couldn't be faulted. Every other dish leaving the kitchen also looked amazing. 10 hours later as I write this I'm still full, with food and fond memories, thank you, it was well worth the special trip over the hills.

Love seafood and fish so went to try it out. Did not disappoint!. One of the best if not the best place for seafood and fish. I loved all the small plates and big plates. All presented beautifully and the sides did not overpower the flavour of the fish. The portions are really big too so have to say could not finish it all so do recommend to go for more small plates for variety and options. If you’ve not been absolutely worth a try. Would definitely go again!
