Restaurants near Bridgewater Hall Manchester

Food is lovely as always and staff are always welcoming and friendly

I don’t usually write reviews, but this place truly deserves one. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our host, who promptly seated us and gave a helpful overview of the menu and what to expect. As non-alcoholic drinkers, my friend and I appreciated the thoughtful range of alternative drink options that were offered without hesitation. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavourful, and served in generous portions. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, with spotless facilities and just the right balance of background noise—lively but not overwhelming. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quality dining experience.

The food was yummy and the staff attentive - there was a lovely atmosphere too

Lovely meal, we had chicken shawarmas and salt and pepper fries both of which were delicious. The staff were friendly but we felt rushed. The lady who took our order was already walking off before we had finished giving our drinks order and therefore came across quite rude. She just needed to spend a little longer with the customers. It wasn’t overly busy so she didn’t need to rush around as much!

If I could rate the service in this restaurant a 10/10 I would. The food, drinks, and general atmosphere were fabulous. But most of all, Emelye (our server) was absolutely delightful. She was so lovely, helpful and attentive. We came on a Tuesday eve, and although quiet, it was still wonderful.
