Tast Cuina Catalana in Manchester

croquetas was amazing and the rest of the food was beautiful, service by lucy was fantastic, lovely atmosphere and vibes

Food was excellent and got great service. Nice atmosphere and in a useful location. Tapas delivered over time as it should be

Gran lugar para la comida catalana en Manchester. Llegamos un poco temprano para nuestra reserva, pero nos enviaron al bar mientras nuestra mesa estaba lista y tenían un bar completo con cócteles, cervezas y opciones de vino, sí, cócteles también. Luego nos llevaron a nuestra mesa donde realmente disfrutamos de nuestra cena. Los 3 de nosotros dividir 3 comenzamos y 2 platos principales. Todo estaba delicioso.

Lunchtime tapas was great, will be back when next in Manchester.

Visited on a few occasions with family and never disappoints. The menu is varied, staff engaging and ambience always spot on. I try new menu items each time and this lunchtime was no different.

Did the meal deal with Man City .food was just warm .. not a lot of it as well .. excellent staff 👏.. could improve the choice of food on offer considering the price

Great service and delicious Spanish food. Thank you Alberto and team!

En realidad llamamos para tomar una copa y reservar una mesa para la noche, pero nos dieron la bienvenida por Sam que decidimos quedarnos y almorzar. El Cava fue el aperitivo perfecto para lo que estaba por venir. Seis platos de Tapas todos cocinados a la perfección junto con un muy buen vino Verdejo, y para terminar la Tarta Santiago y Crema Catalana perfecta. El servicio fue excelente de Elena, y todo el personal. Las mejores tapas que hemos tomado fuera de Cataluna, y volveremos seguro.

When visiting Manchester, there’s always a must — and that’s Tast. Not only does it offer an authentic taste of Catalonia, but it also features friendly and professional staff, along with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed meal or a special night out, Tast is perfect for both. The food is exceptional — from the delicious arròs del senyoret to the rich crema catalana. Whether you’re already familiar with Catalan cuisine or discovering it for the first time, I highly recommend it, since it offers a memorable dining experience with top-quality ingredients and a modern twist on tradition.

Really brilliant service and the food was superb. Very friendly staff, even though one was a Real Madrid fan 😂 Tortilla was amazing and a really nice touch giving my wife an almond tart to celebrate her big birthday.

No le gusta escribir tal opinión, pero la dirección debe saber Fui allí a tomar unas bebidas y cenar en mi cumpleaños no es lo que esperaba, la comida era buena pero el servicio 0 Pedí el servidor principal me pidió que tomaría 20 minutos así que pedí un plato pequeño. Buenas ventas Pedí una pinta para comenzar que se sirvió rápidamente, pero el vino que pedí nunca llegó. Más importante mencioné específicamente el servidor siendo la placa pequeña primero como red tomará 20 minutos Pero el plato principal fue servido primero, la señora que lo sirvió fue sensata tomó la comida de vuelta, pero su superior regresó un minuto tarde arrojado ambos en la mesa y literalmente se fue. Después de 10 minutos pido la queja de la factura de nuevo al mismo servidor que dije sobre toda la experiencia que el vino todavía falta. Lo siento era lo único que podía oír. Las normas de servicio eran equivalentes a las cucharas de Lo único bueno es la comida. Tuve la suerte de experimentar esto solo sin avergonzarme con amigos, familiares o colegas.

Exceptional, the truth is that finding food and places in Manchester with quality, attention and for a price lower than that of a 40-year mortgage has become practically an odyssey, however this place more than delivers, we especially recommend the rice! And as for the starters, the croquettes are great and some magnificent fritters, the forgivel is super attentive and it is a small and cozy place where you can also talk without having to raise your voice; If you miss vermouth.... They have it! Ask for it! They also have a very complete wine list where you will undoubtedly find what you want in harmony with the chosen food. As I said, be sure to try the rice and in general the starters as a tapas beforehand.

Came here with son who had celebrated his 21st. Best tapas we have had. Lovely staff and made to feel very welcome. Thank you!

Didn't get anything to eat but it all looked amazing

Service and atmosphere were great, but the food was very average considering the prices.

Valentine’s Day lunch perfection

A wonderful experience. We were well looked after by Alberto and his staff, well advised on the type and how many dishes to order; the dishes were served at just the right order and frequency to ensure we ate them hot but without being rushed. Thank you

Our waiter Peter Tilley was super accommodating and couldn’t do more for us. Loved the experience! Thank you!

I recently visited 23/1 and wow what lovely caring staff you have. Myself and my 74 year old mother got caught in the rain last week outside your restaurant. I asked if we would be able to just have a coffee to which I did think we would be turned away but no we were made so welcome. My mum was in her element being a Man City fan and asked the young lad so many questions about PEP and his restaurant, showing her round and being so kind. He made my Mother’s day. I wish I had the young lads name as he is an absolute credit to your establishment. The coffee was delicious. Thank you so much for being kind.

Not the best spanish restaurant in the city. The food at Tast Català is decent, but extremely overpriced for what it is. The lack of proper heating made the atmosphere uncomfortably cold, likely an attempt to save money, which gives the impression that the restaurant is struggling financially. Overall, the experience doesn’t justify the cost. For much better value, I’d recommend others, where the food is equally good—if not better—and priced at half of what Tast Català charges. It’s a far more enjoyable and authentic experience to go to Can Petit for example.

All I’ve had is the churros and they’re the best I’ve ever had. I keep getting them

Nice dishes, with very good taste

Second time to this marvellous place. The food and wine is just insanely good. This is the best tapas place in Manchester, maybe England, maybe earth. I love it❤️

4.0 stars. Server was super friendly and answered many of our questions. Food was more a 3.5 stars. We ordered 6 small dishes and a main. With two glasses of wine, our bill came to be £140. Most of the portions were on the small size and understandably so as they were tapas. The croquets, charcuterie board, and bruschetta were the best ones we felt. The squid and duck egg had nice flavors but was chintzy with the portion size. Clean dining area and restrooms too.

Perfect venue for girls having lunch! Great food, lovely exceptional Cava!

Had a great work lunch. Food was delicious and the service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back!

authentic, nice service, and good atmosphere.

Excellent food with excellent service - a fab restaurant - nice classic interior - we'll be back

Been looking forward to visiting and decided to go on my birthday. It was Christmas Eve and it was quite quiet so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere. But the upside was that we were served quickly and our food arrived fast as well. Unfortunately , the tapas wasn’t entirely to our liking - the anchovies were overly seasoned and small compared to others we’ve had in Spanish restaurants (but at a higher cost here), the Spanish omelette was ok but a little bland. The tomato bread and patron peppers were good. The rice dish but nice, but didn’t blow us away. So overall, it didn’t live up to our expectations - but it could just have been timing.

amazing restaurant. all the staff is amazing, especially alberto. was there new years eve, great food, great service and an amazing atmosfere. recomend it to everyone

Fantastic food! Fabulous staff! A great atmosphere. We will definitely be back! Thank you Task for making our 30th Anniversary very special

We have ever only been here for drinks but with it being New Year, we booked a table for a meal and we weren't disappointed. We tried quite a few dishes and they were absolutely gorgeous, you have to try the cod with the honey and lemon foam 😍 and dessert was xuixo omg every bite was delicious and so light I could of eaten another, can highly recommend it. We're definitely going to be coming back, Happy New Year guys and thank you for tonight 🎉

Amazing food, recommend the lobster paella, and the choice of wine is excellent. Even just calling in for drink and small bite to eat would highly recommend.

first time in this restaurant, for our wedding anniversary we were welcomed with 2 glasses of prosecco, the atmosphere was perfect for an event of this kind, the service was really excellent and professional, always very attentive and present, the food was delicious, we had a really good time and we will definitely be back. Thanks for the fantastic evening 🙏🏻

Great food in relaxed environment

Great food and service, unfortunately it was fairly quiet. We will be back !

Very homely and vibrant atmosphere food and service was top class. Will definitely visit again.

We had a reservation but arrived early however this wasn’t a problem. A very welcome greeting by all. Our first time here at TAST. Food was amazing. Very enjoyable evening.

Wonderful restaurant serving amazing food and wine from the Catalan region of Spain! One of Manchester’s finest

It was great atmosfher and food. Viva Espana.

Beautifully prepared food which tasted authentic and provided a very satisfying experience

Stunning food, lovely place and the staff were fantastic. Cannot recommend enough. The signature rice was another level, the tapas dishes we tried were all delicious and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Very good service and food. Just incredibly small portions

Always a top spot! Tast is a unique part of Manchester's culinary scene. Friendly staff, gorgeous Catalan and Spanish food. Excellent wines, all in a warm, beautifully designed space.

Had lovely meal a selection of small plates and main course celebrating a belated 50th Birthday party with friends who were really impressed too

Unfortunately this place really lacks alot in terms of value for money, service and general love. Its highly overpriced, no value for money and erratic service. I was served by 5 different waiters- was told initially I could only have a table downstairs for 30 mins- unless I sat upstairs. Food was really average- the duck donut foi groi just really pretentious and out of place. Dont bother.

Had an amazing night at Tast for the Dan Garcia evening. The food was excellent but our highlight was the sommelier whose knowledge of the wines was extensive but his friendly demeanour made it a wonderful experience. We can’t wait to go back

As regulars of various restaurants on King Street, we noticed the lunchtime special at Tast and decided to give it a try. We entered the restaurant and politely asked for a table. The lady at the counter inquired with her manager, who informed us that they were full. However, a lady who was seated at a table nearby informed us that she was leaving and that we could have her table. The waitress checked her bookings on the screen and confirmed that the table was indeed free. When the manager came over to us, he rudely refused our request, stating that we were full. I explained that the waitress had just confirmed the table was free, but he simply looked at us and said no with an attitude. We were extremely surprised by his attitude, we are regular reviewers in the top 1% of reviewers with hundreds of positive reviews. All of our reviews are fair, but on this occasion, I felt compelled to point out the unprofessional behavior of the manager.

Wir waren mit einem Hospitality Package über Manchester City für ein drei Gänge Menü im Tast. Wir hatten uns irgendwie etwas gutes erhofft, dem Anspruch entsprechend, den Pep Gardiola an ein solches Restaurant haben sollte. Aber da haben wir uns geirrt. Das Essen war sehr wenig und dann noch nicht mal gut. Das Fleisch war irgendwie zäh und die Nachspeise war auch eine Katastrophe. Ich hoffe einfach mal das der normale Restaurantbetrieb besseres bietet.

Amazing food and drinks attentively served in great location.

Great atmosphere quality and value for money A very enjoyable experience

I was welcomed from the start , I was dressed smart but casual with trainers. The waiter was very polite and he looked very smart. I had two pints of estrella and they where served with nuts. I was very happy with my service. I will definitely come back again.

First visit here, we cametocelebrateourweddinganniversary. . From the moment we walked in, it was very welcoming, relaxed and a lovely atmosphere. Our waiter was amazing, very knowledgeable about both the food and wine and helped with our choices. Everything was delicious and different from anything we've had before in Spanish restaurants. Highly recommended this place.

Una pequeña joya, Muy sorprendido ya que Manchester estaba tan ocupado, pero se las arregló para conseguir una mesa aquí un sábado por la noche. Recibido por el personal encantador, explicó los menús La comida era increíble Muy buen vino

We were sat in the window which was fabulous to people watch. The waiter took our drinks order and within a couple of minutes we were drinking them. He was very friendly not too much just right. Took our food order and gave us some information about the food we ordered. The food came and it was so delicious . One of the dishes ( tortilla) was so delicious I ordered it again. Every dish was cooked to perfection. The service was vey good but not enough people on the floor especially as the tables outside were busy. All in all it was a beautiful experience. The waiter excelled himself. I loved the place so much I am going to recommend it to all my friends. I will be back in a month or so. Highly recommend this restaurant. So thank you everybody for delicious food, a nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Such a highlight of our weekend visit and an absolutely incredible meal. We will be back next time we’re in Manchester.

Great evening and fabulous food. So why the 4 stars on food.......only the rice/paella lacked a crispy bottom, Socarrat, but the dish was nonetheless fantastic.

Always attentive and really friendly and welcoming. Food is always beautifully presented, perfectly proportioned and tastes immense.

Amazed my food , wonderful service. Perfect afternoon.

The best Tapas ever. Admittedly went as it was Peps restaurant so fairly expectations it was going to be good but it was unbelievably good. Had lots of different items and each was special. Service was lovely, informative with a gentle tone. Ambience was great so we could all talk effortlessly. I genuinely could not speak when having the dessert, what was described as like creme brulee but better as it was staggeringly good. Amazing experience. Perfect.

We came back here and we love it! Lovely food and great service. Amazing place.

This week, taking advantage of my family's visit to Catalonia, we couldn't miss the opportunity to stop by here. It has been a very pleasant experience, with spectacular service and delicious food! We were only missing Pep, but we have allowed ourselves the luxury of adding him in one of our photos. Thank you and see you soon 🧡🫶🏼

Wonderful restaurant, amazing food and wine. Staff are all lovely. Will be back soon! x

Wow - what a place. We had the tast experience, which was amazing. The staff and service were brilliant and the atmosphere was amazing. everyone was so friendly and happy to offer advice and comment on the meal and the accompanying wines. The meal was truly special, and the actual food divine, some amazing different twists on proper Catalan food. Will definitely be back - and now we know the standard and quality of food on offer, will go for the a la carte menu. That beef was amazing!

Superb meal with excellent staff and good atmosphere. The food was delicious and freshly cooked. Will be returning soon.

Quite average really, not really like eating in Catalunya but I guess they can't get the same quality ingredients in the UK.

Excellent food and service. Air conditioning a little fierce but would definitely recommend.

Didn't enjoy the food at Tast at all. The tapas wasn't very tasty... the best dish we ordered was the bread. The rice dish we ordered with prawns was completely tasteless. Food not worth the price. The decor is very plain, I was expecting a lot more from this place.

First class food and service, absolutely faultless.

Fui a Tast hace 5 años. Afortunadamente, sigue siendo esencialmente el mismo - un establecimiento muy acogedor con un ambiente que siempre es amable y divertido. Por supuesto, a lo largo de los años se han producido cambios -en caras y menús-, pero bajo el GM Alberto siempre ofrece una visión de lo que es genuinamente distintivo de la comida y el vino catalanes; y que está preparado y servido por un personal que combina competencia profesional con entusiasmo contagioso. Mi agradecimiento

Early evening meal for the two of us before going to see Peter Kay at the AO Arena. Loved both !

Great lunch with super service. Enormous rice dish!

Este es un toque moderno en la comida catalana y es uno de los restaurantes más excelentes y deliciosos que hemos comido. Todos los platos son imaginativos inusuales y cocinados perfectamente. El servicio es excelente y aunque es un lugar bastante caro no nos sentimos decepcionados por la experiencia.

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Great food and lovely friendly service!

Great food and service. It is a bit expensive though, but well worth the experience.

Delicious food beautifully presented. Great service. Really relaxed, ordering as and when we wanted more. Excellent wine recommendations too. Perfect for a long lazy lunch. We will be back

Loved the ambiance and layout of the restaurant. The food was amazing and delicious the portions were good enough for the 2 of us to sample the various dishes. The host and server were courteous and engaging when they spoke to us and even offered suggestions. Overall an amazing place to dine if you want to taste a bit of the Catalan life while in Manchester.

Food was very good and reasonably priced, waiter was very attentive. It was very quiet but we did go at 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon so probably between typical servings

The food was excellent. The decor is tired and the seating oddly spaced.

Came here as part of a hospitality package for a man city match. Food was not necessarily the best but it could be due to the fact its part of a set menu for a large crowd.

Food and ambience as excellent as ever but service was particularly impressive for an early evening tea

Delicious food and impeccable service. The iberico ham in particular was amazing, and the fried calamari

The food was absolutely fantastic plus service top notch, we had a lovely meal and service was out of this world. Would recommend and come again

We had an amazing experience celebrating my husband‘s 43rd birthday! The staff were excellent, especially Peter. The food and drinks were superb! TAST Is a must eat destination, if you are traveling to Manchester. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

Lets start this review by saying I am Spanish, I was so excited when I saw the menu so I booked. Firstly, drinks, I understand I am not going to pay the same here that I pay in Spain and I respect that, but £36 for a jug of Sangria I think is a joke (considering the jug wasn't even a big size) We ordered, Olives (7 olives in total on the plate), boquerones en vinagre (5 pieces), tuna salad (which was very good), croquetas (this was made with very bad cheap quality ham as the taste wasn't great) and a tortilla (no onion on it and way undercooked) for all those tapas (small plates) the bill came up to £98, again, I understand Spanish restaurants in the UK are overpriced but I think this is way too much. You can go to bar San Juan in Chorlton and you can eat actual real Spanish food, better quality for half of the price, I wanted to try something new but most definitely will be sticking to bar San Juan going forward. Now I understand why its always fully booked and ''Tast'' was almost empty.

Excellent food and wine knowledgeable staff. Quality tapas and an excellent wine list first visit won’t be the last 👍 🍷 🥘

The food was stunning I tried the tortilla and 10/10 the wine is lovely overall amazing service and Alberto was so kind will be coming back

Loved everything! The white wine sangrías were especially delicious

Not a huge menu, but really interesting food, beautifully presented. Staff were excellent. Catalan rice was lovely. Will definitely try that again. Churros were naughty but very nice. Expensive but it was a birthday treat!

I loved it here!! Food was authentic and tasted amazing. Great vibe with very friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommend :)

Vert friendly staff and attentive service. The food was okay, but nothing that stood out and made me think that I would make a return visit. Also I thought that the wine list was a bit limited. Overall, there was nothing that I would complain about but also nothing that would tempt me to return again.

We loved it!!! All delicious… Especially the croquettes, the scrambled eggs with potatoes and squid and the senyoret rice (super tasty). And the churros with spectacular chocolate!!! We will definitely repeat on our next trip to Manchester :)

Tast is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in Manchester. The team takes great care in using fresh produce for their traditional Spanish dishes. The service is excellent - casual yet very professional. If you happen to be in Manchester on a sunny day, it’s the ideal spot for enjoying tapas and wine. You'll feel as if you've been transported to Barcelona right away.

Cant fault the experience. We had a really nice evening and the food and service were excellent.

The best Catalan food outside of Barcelona! If you’re looking for a truly delicious and authentic experience, this is the place. Warm and welcoming service, excellent wine and gorgeous space! Will definitely be back

Great restaurant. Sit outside and enjoy tasty tapas with an Estrella or three...

Fourth time here on trips to Manchester. Food is always amazing. Atmosphere warmer and more welcoming than the rather arrogant and hoity-toity tapas place a few doors down. Tomato and tuna salad, duck egg with potato, anchovies, sourdough with tomatoes. It’s all amazing. Highly recommended.

Really great food and service - the octopus and the prawn rice were exceptional and the anchovies and tortilla were very nice too (tortilla was a bit salty for us). The crema catalagna was delicious. By 8pm, they had sold out of 3 tapas dishes on what is not a very extensive menu. Unfortunately the vibe of the place was really odd - we’ve been trying to work out why, and think it’s in part because the lights were too bright, the furniture too hard (chairs were uncomfortable) and there were slight office vibes from some of the interior design choices. Really recommend that they work on improving the vibe, so that it matches the quality of the food (and the price-point). We paid £120 for two people, including two glasses of wine and one half pint. We probably could have ordered one tapas less - we left very full!

it was our 1st visit to tast & was a fantastic experiance from our waiter(liverpool) manto the food everything was wonderfull thankyou.

Lovely lunch as part of the winemile promo. Lovely wine. Great lunch. Lovely staff
