Excellent food, wine, service and atmosphere. We enjoyed the fillet steak so much on our last visit we ordered a second portion! Usually worth booking a table to avoid disappointment. Would definitely recommend.

so lovely! waiters were very helpful with making space on the table and reminding us when the heat lamp turned off outside (needed for manchester weather!), and the dishes came spread out which was very handy as once we finished one, another would appear! the prawns were extremely good and i am a prawn critic, i know a good prawn when i have one and these were 10/10!!! very juicy and flavoursome, and even with the rain i was still having an amazing chomp!! with a group of four with soft drinks and 2 dishes each, it was 70 pounds which is very good for the area.

Had a great time at Bar San Juan! It really gave off that authentic feel - like I was in Spain. The food was great, especially the lamb parcels, chorizo, and steak. Everything was cooked just right. The staff were really friendly and helpful with the menu too. It’s always busy, so I’d definitely recommend booking ahead if you can, though they do take walk-ins

The Best Tapas Restaurant in Manchester! This place feels like a little slice of Spain in the heart of Manchester. The atmosphere is authentic, and the food is absolutely incredible. The sangria was delightful, and the pan fresco con alioli was full of flavour. If you’re planning to visit, I highly recommend trying: Cojonudo Trufado: I can’t even begin to explain how delicious this tapa is – an absolute must-try! Croquetas San Juan: Perfectly crispy and packed with flavour. Carrilleras de Ternera: Melt-in-your-mouth beef cheek – just incredible. Saquitos de Cordero: While lamb isn’t my favourite, the sauce on this dish was sensational. I honestly cannot wait to come back to this amazing restaurant. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Spanish tapas!
