The best restaurants in City Centre Manchester North West

Nice hipster hangout but Permanently closed for months. No idea what those latest reviews came from… the cafe outside is still open though

Had the Christmas special, camembert burger, chose the chicken one. Came with bacon and cranberry sauce. Chip, 1 side and a drink for £20. It was beautiful! They forgot my side so asked our sever about it, think she was stressing with a large table she had because when I did ask she didn't look happy. Still, it didn't affect my experience too much, I know how hard server roles are! Highly recommended any time of day, a new special every week.

Food and atmosphere excellent- would recommend. We opted for the a la carte rather than tasting menu, all three dishes and sides were excellent - highlight for me was the steak tartare. We seem to run in to problems not with service per se, there was some issue with food ticket system which meant a delay between starter and main which was considerable, staff were apologetic and a free round of drinks was offered which mitigated the problem. We did wait 30 mins to be seated at our table and had a drink in the bar area whilst we waited, this might not be an issue for some folk but personally I prefer to be seated at my booking time. A few small issues which didn’t detract from the overall experience, and still rated the food and overall experience highly!

This place is exceptional best food in Manchester by far staff are always polite and ready through everything

Had a great visit with work mates, great vibe and look to the place, and something for everyone in terms of games + a brilliant selection of cocktails and beers.

Really great hotel. Great location. My partner and I can’t travel in lifts and was surprised that the stairs are security locked. No one is allowed to use them at all. Hotel room security cards don’t allow access. Had to leave hotel middle of the night due to family urgency and needed to get the ported to come and escort us down the stairs. Felt this was unsafe to have stairs locked and inaccessible.

I was so sad to hear my favourite restaurant in Manchester has now closed. We went for a farewell meal last week and it was as good as ever, although prices have shot up over the years, it must be said. I understand this will reflect rising prices generally. We were told that they are looking for another site in Manchester. Please come back soon Cote, I’ll miss you!

Absolutely disgusting food bland with no flavour or spices, total waste of money and I'm now convinced that my brother got food poisoning from them last week after he ordered from them Give the place a wide berth that way you are safe from poorly prepared tasteless crap food

Pancakes were delicious and very filling. Our waiter Leon was welcoming and ensured we were looked after. Would highly recommend to those wanting good food.

never get my order. it is 20.45 and on app it is marked as delivered on 21.15 won't be ordering by just eat anymore :/

Lovely restaurant, well-lit, great decor and waiting staff hard to beat. However, because this restaurant is considered trendy, it is way over-priced. Our bill, for 2 came to £211. I know, I appreciate there are other things involved like decor and technique, but I can't eat those. Let me break it down... We skipped starters. I had 2 bottles of Modelo and the wife had a coconut daiquiri. We ordered the Chateaubriand to share, one portion of fries, and one portion of carrots. A bottle of malbec to wash it down. We then had 2 desserts - apple & cinnamon terrine and sticky toffee pudding. Bottle of water for the table (£4.50). Add a discretionary 12.5% service charge...£211... Let that sink in. We had been given vouchers to the tune of £150 to use here as a joint birthday present. There was a brief hiatus at check in where we told we couldn't use them as they had already been redeemed. That was soon sorted out and good job too. First of all, we were presented with a bowl of tomato soup with treacle bread. Very nice, though we were special - everyone gets this. compliments of the chef. Quite tasty overall. The chateaubriand was uninspiring. A million years ago, we dined at a place in Oldham called the Highpoint. So named as it stood at the top of a cliff looking down upon the town. The chateaubriand was legendary - they would part cook it in the kitchen and then bring it to your table to finish it as you liked it, including brandy and flambe. This was theatre. At Dakota, it felt like we had a larger than normal fillet which had been sliced and spread about a plate to make it look better. I have disappointed by chateaubriand every since, however, it was our birthday treat and the wife wanted to try it. We ordered it medium. On close inspection, the centre pieces were still breathing - very rare. And because it was sliced, it cooled quickly, so we ate fast as rare meat cold becomes chewy, not tender. I didn't taste much in the way of seasoning, just meat. Hard to justify its £70 price-tag when it the taste is not elevated. Presentation was a bit lacking overall as well; a big empty plate apart from the random half tomato which no-one eats and a 2p sized circle of indeterminate sauce. Good job I ordered a separate peppercorn sauce in a metal pot or the plate would have looked like a desert island. (After inspecting pictures afterwards of other chateaubriands, ours looked the most miserly. Just 6 slices compared to 8s and 9s. I know the thickness of the slices will depend on the slicer, but check out the picture). Service was excellent. We were asked 3 times in as many minutes if everything was OK. I must object to people picking up my wine bottle though as though I have lost use of my arms. My wife drinks more slowly than me, so in order to even things out I wait until she's finished before I refill mine. If I'd have accepted all offers to pour for me, I would have needed a wheelbarrow to take me to bed. Despite ordering one portion of carrots, we received 2 and were charged for 2. We ate them both so had nothing to grumble about. Desserts were excellent. Probably the best value of the meal at £7 each. Compared to the water at £4.50, phenomenal value! Overall, poor value for money. I am sure lots of folks will enjoy the ambience but the expensive food for me was under par and that is what I focus on.

Lovely 3 course meal for two at Côte Manchester. Nice menu to choose from. The prix fixe menu is great value. The deserts were amazing.

Everything was on point except the food

Never been before, amazing quality food and good portion sizes. Only wish that they would do a tasting tray with a smaller portion with most popular dishes

Last visited December 2024 Bright and relaxing setting. Good food and good service. A place where you can dine solo. Seating overlooking the kitchen.
