The best restaurants in City Centre Manchester North West

Visited with colleagues for a retirement dinner. Great atmosphere, the food was really delicious and everyone from our colleagues enjoyed their meal. We’ve already discussed coming back again soon. Reasonable prices for the food and drinks especially considering it’s in Manchester. The restaurant was nice, cosy. The staff were also very polite and great service.

This bar is inside the Royal Exchange theatre and has a view over St Ann's Square. Always worth a visit when Manchester is mad busy as it's so relaxing to sit with a pint and people watch from above.

The attention to detail regarding our last visit was very impressive. Welcome was genuine and service could not be improved upon. Great experience at Tattu again for my wife and myself with a special mention for Edwin who looked after us so well.

I’m happy with that it’ was amazing

Very expensive but the food is good.could do with the cheesy pianist being a little quieter. There was a group of raucous young girls at the bar which spoilt the dining experience.

Served by the lovely Pete Attentive without being overbearing Fabulous food & service

Nice place but the worse mojito in my life

Room and hotel was good. Very good selection at the bar and possibly the best breakfast set up I've seen at a hotel. However, the air con didn't work in our room and it was a hot weekend. Unfortunately I was fobbed off at reception upon checkout. I was told to inform the hotel next time I stay. Maybe I'll get a free room, maybe I'll get a quid off a drink... Who knows... Why would I go back. I guess we'll see. I wouldn't pay the same again for a hot room. A sauna would be cheaper.

Multiple food choices on offer though I did find when we first went in there was quite afew foods that was running low and had gone dry or cold or hard. But then once they had replenished food it was all tasty. The deserts on offer though wasn't as nice as another COSMO place we'd been to in Belfast but none the less there was different variety's. The toilets could do with a clean and seats fixing in cubicles. If you struggle being in busy loud places this probably isn't the best place to go we went around 4 and it was very manic people bumping into you and you find yourself trying not to spill your food whilst walking around and dodging people. Waited awhile to be seated as there was no one around and a qué had formed but eventually got seated no problems.

Blythe was our server and lovely, hospitable and welcoming. Thank you

Stayed here in May 2025. Good location, friendly staff, but room was 26.5 degrees all night, with no aircon and a window that only opened an inch. Sadly, the heat ruined the experience. Hardly any sleep for two nights. There were two desk fans already in my room on arrival, which was something, but all they did was move the hot air around. Photo shows thermostat which was turned down as low as possible - no cooling available, only heating. Pity as it could have otherwise been a 5 star experience. I shall not return.

Right from the start to the end, Asif made sure we we're well looked after and recommended us the best dishes on the menu - which were incredible! I will be come back again. Thank you for the service Asif.

Went for a beer, got a beer, seemed OK.

My wife and I visited this restaurant / bar in midweek. The place it's self is great very well done out . however, the food is a let down I ordered a steak, but it did not come with a flat mushroom, and the salad was a joke, one bit of lettuce with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese on it . my wife had the burger. There was very little in it very, very boring. She had much better in Burger King . and the side of onion rings was just greasy. It's like the cook / chef can not be bothered . Lack of presentation. There were not a lot of people in at the time, and it was a lovely hot day . I asked the manager for a drink as he was giving out food and was passing me anyway. And I did not end up getting it, so I at to order it again. The staff was just OK . small talk goes a long way. How are you , how's your day . The weather is lovely. Are you on holiday. Have you been here. It all leaves a lasting impression . Sadly, this place did not It's in a great location. And the building it's self is fantastic . This looks like a negative review . But it's really not this place can do so much better . The food was just poor poor poor a letdown, and we read so much about this place . Come on, guys, pick it up. There are so many bars and restaurants to choose from all over Manchester. Have you got more to give, or are you giving up ?

This wagamama is the best I’ve visited in the UK, not only is the food amazing as per usual but the staff are second to none. They make every visit worthwhile. Blake, mai and charlie served us this visit and were wonderful as per usual. Blake has amazing knowledge of the menu and gave us stellar recommendations. Mai and charlie are management/ team leaders and we saw them guiding their team wonderfully and taking charge when needed. They both seem to have wonderful relationships with their team members and everyone seemed at ease around them and their management style. Our food was run by Kenza who made such lovely conversation with us both (and we had matching earrings so amazing style🥰😗) everyone walks around with a smile on their face and is more than happy to help and get you anything you need. He wasn’t in today but special mention to James- probably the most lovely guy you’ll ever meet and always greets me with a huge smile and asks how I am. I will be forever loyal to this wagas!! If you haven’t been now is an amazing time to pop in as there’s so many new things on the menu and the staff will be happy to talk you through it and explain what everything is :)
