A very modern look to the restaurant with glass walls and a very modern interior. Known for having the best breakfasts in town, I took them up on this and gave it a try text/html 2023-04-30T18:22:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/35 Review of 'KroBar' After visiting Kro2 (see my review) the previous day I was disappointed to find that their was no one in the kitchen to cook my breakfast despite it being very close to 10 in the morning. When it did arrive I was disappointed to find the meal greasy and not nearly as nice as Kro2. The ambiance is one of old-style university pub with a lot of good fresh cakes as well as beers on offer. The service was spotty but I imagine it was just the time of day. Worth a visit. text/html 2023-04-30T18:22:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/36 Review of 'Yang Sing' Touted as one of the best restaurants in Manchester and the best Chinese restaurant outside of London I just had to visit this one. Arriving at the restaurant one is presented with a large multi-story building with dim sum typically served in the basement while the main floor is for dinner. I arrived for dim sum so descended into a dark but adequately lit basement decorated in a very modern style with cosy little nooks along the walls. It took some time for them to f… text/html 2023-04-30T18:22:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/37 Review of 'Mr. Thomas's Chop House' I visited this small pub/restaurant on a Saturday evening with the pub completely packed into the rather narrow, long interior. The restaurant is to the back of this very old establishment (quite a traditional place to visit in Manchester). I made my way to a seat at the very back of the restaurant but was still very much disturbed by the crowd around the bar at the far end (separated from the restaurant by a single podium that bar-goers tended to ignore… text/html 2023-04-30T18:22:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/38 Review of 'Barburrito' This is a fast-food style eatery located right on Piccadilly Gardens in the middle of the city. It serves up a variety of “Mexican” food including burritos (as in the name) as well as nachos and other similar fast-food. The prices are, as you might expect, quite good though I found the food quite bland.

Time and time again “Mughli Charcoal Pit” came up so we decided to give it a go.

After about 30 minutes we were shown inside to our table to the left of the door in the window with a great view of others waiting to come in. text/html 2023-04-30T18:22:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/415 Review of 'Elnecot' We were SO looking forward to visiting Elnecot after hearing so much about it's ethos of tasty, interesting, locally sourced food.

What attracted us to it was it was easy to look inside, it was busy, and it had a dim sum menu outside (though not really marked as such) with some of our favourites. text/html 2024-10-13T10:49:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/472 Review of 'Soup Co. (Malatang Hot Pot Noodles)' One thing I find interesting about big cities such as Manchester is that there are always new interesting restaurants popping up. Recently I stumbled across “Soup Co” a stones throw from Piccadilly Gardens in the heart of Manchester. There was something immediately appealing about the place with the glass front allowing me to see into what looked to be a busy interior. I was able to see people eating from very large tasty looking bowls of so… text/html 2024-10-13T10:49:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/introduction Manchester Manchester was once a working-class city not known for it's food. Now, with the “Curry Mile” and a contemporary city centre this is no longer true. Now famous chefs are itching to make their presence known. The style here is no nonsense, good cooking. text/html 2024-10-13T10:49:02+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.stevedrice.net/reviews/restaurants/england/manchester/list List
