I have no words. Well I have actually... Best meal this year. Michelin guide needs to get their act together. From the bread, ham. Salmon. Scallops. Everything was top notch. Great place to go for a special occasion or celebration. Chef came for a chat too. All round a fantastic way to celebrate our anniversary! And, what has to be #mcrsfinest dining room. Loved it!

Very little to fault with this restaurant and I’m at a loss as to why this excellent Manchester culinary institution doesn’t have a Michelin star. We had the 10 course tasting menu and every dish was outstanding. The beef tartare, Orkney scallop and red deer dishes will remain seared in my memory for many years! I also appreciated head chef Blaze’s gracious engagement and time with with us and for explaining the inspiration behind the menu and recipes; which is a unique tribute to North West England ingredients and livestock. Particularly interesting are the long standing collaborations between the restaurant & several high quality local farms for produce; which could clearly be tasted in the food. The interiors are designed around the original features of the 1903 restaurant - The French - with contemporary features integrated tastefully into the overall design. Overall the restaurant has the air of understated and subtle luxury. If you’re in or around Manchester and have a passion for food, or a special occasion or both, this restaurant is an absolute must visit.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, and one you’ll never forget. Service was genuine, kind and attentive. Food was really creative. Wine pairings also excellent and definitely worth adding on. Overall I would highly recommend for a special occasion.

What a great experience this was. The food was incredible from start to finish. The apple dessert was one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. Every dish was well thought out and by the end I was absolutely stuffed! It was all finished off with a thoughtful touch of a signed menu to celebrate my graduation. I'd definitely recommend.

First dining experience for quite some time. Located in the Midland Hotel, this restaurant provided a wonderful succession procession of tastes, flavours and textures. Mid week and not so busy but the staff were attentive and helpful. Done a few tasting menus over the years and this was one of the more expensive but was well worth it. No complaints. Highlights were the scallops with blood orange, and the rhubarb dessert. Excellent!
