Tast Cuina Catalana in Manchester

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

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.

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

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

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.

First class food and service, absolutely faultless.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Superb tapas, every dish was absolutely delicious and the portions generous. Top notch service too. Excellent-would highly recommend.

Had a wonderful lunch time at Tast recently...the food was excellent..just the right choices..enjoyed in their lovely surroundings..and extremely well advised by the staff..especially Alberto..who was brilliant.....

Absolutely amazing experience at tast manchester great service and staff are very attentive, Highly recommended

Incredible food, best rice dishes I've ever tasted. Will definitely be back!

Amazing service! Great food and interesting dishes, would recommend

Fantastic food,prompt and polite service. A great taste of Spain!!

Sat outside for a wine before our meal elsewhere. Good service and wine was quite tasty. Solid selection of drinks and service nice too!

Loved the cod fritters with lemony foam sauce and it was great being able to specify ‘runny or firm’ tortilla, which was done to perfection. We’re still mystified how they made the crunchy, ‘popped’ potatoes that came with the duck egg & squid dish - they were great too. Service was very attentive and friendly. Great place for a romantic date or just a catch-up with a mate.

If you’re looking for good food then avoid this place. Atmosphere and vibes were ok.

It's never too late for a spicy margarita 🍹 and Croquetas at Tast. ✌🏽 Very friendly staff and the atmosphere just made me really happy about my choice 😊 never disappointed!

Food was absolutely sublime. The calamari was the best I’ve ever had. Every dish was just wonderful. The friendliness of the staff was much appreciated. Will definitely be returning.

Very limited menu, very poor. They infiltrated we had a booking with them when it was at a different restaurant. Our fault to some extent. The service and food we had was satisfactory. Not worth the money

Everything was awesome, one star down on service because it took about 30 mins to get the bill !

Came with the King Street Wine Mile promotion and the wine was lovely. Really lovely food and service. A great lunch spot.

My friends and I had a lovely lunch date at Tast. The serving staff were extremely helpful and pleasant explaining the Catalan way of cooking. The food exceeded our expectations with good portion sizes and well prepared. Such a beautiful sunny day which added to our enjoyment and created a real Barcelona atmosphere!

Friendly and knowledgeable service guiding us through the menu and wine choices without being pushy. Superb food especially the Prawn Rice dish. Exceptional taste.

We stumbled upon Tast when we were looking for an early dinner on a Saturday night without having made a booking anywhere. No regrets, excellent wine, very good food, friendly service, nice atmosphere

fantastic as ever - great portion size of really good quality food

Went on Saturday afternoon and left very Impressed We had 12 dishes between the four of us as suggested All dishes that we had were on equal par and absolutely gorgeous and very good sized portions for tapas I had the red wine “El Mago” which was good as the man himself. Overall it was a fantastic meal and couldn’t recommend highly enough

Superb meal to celebrate my birthday, every dish was so tasty. Great service and great atmosphere, will definitely return!

Absolutely amazing experience all round. Staff were amazing and very welcoming. They were able to explain everything on the menu and were able to adapt dishes for a nut allergy. The food itself was unreal, top quality and really felt like we were in Spain. The staff even gave us a choice of cava or a dessert on the house as it was our anniversary. Will be in a rush to get back there, wether that be for a full meal or a couple of tapas and a few drinks.

The food was good. The service excellent. We went to Tast to celebrate our son's graduation day, and they had many courtesy details for him.

The best tapas place in Manchester, no doubt about it. The food just on a different level, everything we tried was a 10 And an Excellent service from the team.

Hugely enjoyable meal and great authentic Catalonian food! The restaurant was particularly quiet during our lunchtime visit however had an enjoyable atmosphere and nice vibe!

Incredible! A very good paella, the waiters are very friendly! Quality products at a very reasonable price! Without a doubt a restaurant to return to! I recommend it 100%

I expected better quality of food. The rice is very good but it is not worth the price. The tapas could have been much better. The croquettes are very good but the patatas bravas churro is average and the sausage is the same. I expected better based on the recommendations but hey, it's not bad to remind you a little of Spain :)

Great lunch suitably served and now stuffed! Great place for a warm Manchester afternoon watching the crowds pass by. .

Authentic tapas, superb staff! Shame I don’t live closer…

Wow, just wow. This restaurant is a dream with the most delicious food and lovely staff. Our server (male tall light curly hair) was able to guide us through the menu, making the best recommendations. Everything we ate, even the fresh herbs on the garnish were so flavoursome. Highly recommend the charcuterie board, sausage with white beans and the rice pork dish was one of the best things we have ever tasted. We live very far away but if we were ever in Manchester again, we'd definitely return.

Food was delicious! Lovely surroundings upstairs

It was also what we repeated the next day.

Visited for a bank holiday treat. Set menu and we could only eat downstairs or outside. Pleasant staff and delicious food

Lovely restaurant, food was excellent and with the party size being 30+ the staff were amazing. Highly recommend

Finally I got there as it’s such an advertised place . Not worth a hype. We had some wine and one starter . Waiting for a main meal which apparently they didn’t have and sorted out after 20 minutes. It was changed ok no problem. We’ve been given squid ink rice then . The amount of squid absolutely funny. The rice was really nice but it felt like eating rice only . Super overpriced for what you get . Waiting time takes ages tbf. For sure won’t be visiting or recommending. The food taste ok but the portions super small. Overall experience not great I’m sorry to say that . Definitely you can get much cheaper Spanish food in this city , giving you much better quality and without waiting for ages . Sorry , truly disappointed

Was overcharged £115 when I dined in here, will never come back

Very warm welcome. Excellent service. Great food.

Booked at lovely evening meal here for my birthday and our wedding anniversary. Lovely staff that was very aware of the occasion we were celebrating. Excellent food with some great choices on the menu. The service was over and above. Very tentative and took time to explain each dish. Well worth the evening spent. Our server was particularly exceptional and passionate for the food and service
