***THE Best Meal of my life*** I'm 53yrs old and have eaten in many restaurants around the world. The Sea Bass "special" I had tonight was simply the best meal of my life so far. And, by some margin. The flavours were just sublime perfection. You can check my other reviews, I do not offer faint praise, this was exceptional. The service and staff were great. It was only our second visit and they remembered us from months ago (we aren't THAT odd to be memorable). We are so lucky to have this on our doorstep in Altrincham. So very lucky.

If you’re in the mood for an authentic Italian dining experience, this restaurant is a must-visit. The food is absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with fresh, vibrant flavors. Garlic Bread: This garlic bread is a perfect balance of crispy and soft. The golden, buttery crust is infused with fragrant garlic and fresh herbs, delivering a deliciously savory bite. The warmth and subtle crunch of the bread pair beautifully with the rich, aromatic flavors, making it the perfect start to any meal. Bruschetta with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onion: This twist on traditional bruschetta elevates the classic with earthy, sautéed mushrooms and sweet, caramelized onions. The toasted bread provides a crisp, warm foundation, while the mushrooms add a deep umami richness, and the onions bring a delightful sweetness. Together, they create a mouthwatering contrast of flavors—savory, sweet, and utterly satisfying. Gnocchi with Duck: The gnocchi is a velvety, pillowy delight that practically melts in your mouth. Paired with tender, succulent duck, this dish offers a beautifully balanced combination of flavors. The rich, savory duck perfectly complements the delicate gnocchi, while a flavorful sauce adds depth, making every bite a comforting, luxurious experience. Lasagne: This lasagne is a true indulgence, with layers of perfectly cooked pasta, rich bolognese sauce, and a creamy béchamel that ties it all together. The meat sauce is hearty and flavorful, while the béchamel adds a smooth, velvety richness. Topped with melted cheese that forms a golden, bubbling crust, each bite is a comforting, satisfying blend of textures and deep, savory flavors. The atmosphere adds to the charm, too. The lively energy fills the space, with friendly service and a welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommend!

Lovely family run restaurant with so many interesting choices of food. The food was delicious but what really made our trip was the staff and the vibe. They were super accommodating, friendly & energetic and we felt so comfortable and cosy there. Would definitely recommend if you love classic Italian food but appreciate experimentation. Lovely limoncello on the house to finish our trip! Will 1000% come again

A fabulous evening from start to finish. You receive such a warm welcome when you arrive and the staff are clearly passionate about what they do. We took their recommendations and we were not disappointed. The suppli zucca (fried rice balls) were so tasty and the truffle honey on the side was loooovely. The gnocchi duck was delicious too. I'll definitely be back as I want to try more dishes!

Loved this place for years! The owners remembered not only my name but often of guests I would bring only occasionally. Altrincham is a better place for their sunny Californian disposition. Fab social events and delicious food too!

1st time and will repeat!. Menu was not too overloaded but options looked quite nice. I ordered The Don Breakfast Burrito and it was absolutely yummy!. Put the chilli jam to the side as I wasn’t sure if it was going to be too spicy but not at all, the waitress kindly requested it for me. My friend had the Cali Eggs Benedict that you can see on the picture. For drinks I had the Passionfruit Iced Black Tea and again, incredible!. Will recommend 100%!

This place is fantastic! The service was amazing and the food was unreal! I had the smashed Avocado and added bacon and I can honestly say it's the best I have had. The eggs were poached to perfection! The menu had an excellent choice and I can't wait to return to try one of the salads for lunch....they look amazing! There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and all the staff were really friendly.

T'was fantastic to find such a gem. As a travelling Scot, non-kilted, it was a revelation! From the moment I stepped into the cozy cafe, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, tantalisng my taste buds. The menu boasted a delightful array of options, for both meat and vegan lifestyles. I opted for the signature breakfast platter, and it did not disappoint. Each bite was a symphony of flavors - crispy bacon, creamy scrambled eggs, and perfectly toasted bread. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the impeccably brewed coffee to the presentation of the dishes. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience. Without a doubt, this breakfast spot sets the bar high for morning indulgence. A truly exceptional start to any day.

A tenner for two people, superb home cooked food. The real Altrincham. An antidote to spending 15 quid on a breakfast in Altrincham.

Robina and John are the most wonderful neighbours to have over the road from Hive Stores. They both work very hard to bring a lot more joy and creativity to the neighbourhood and are always willing to help where they can. The waiting room cafe has the best value full English around and the engine room is set to become a great creative hub. Whilst enjoying breakfast on our day off we conversed with familiar faces from the local neighbourhood who were enjoying crafts and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Robina and John for always helping, making us laugh and generally being authentic people. You've created a great space!

Josh is an excellent electrician. I cannot praise him enough. A hard worker, talks to you everything step by step and extremely personable and polite too. He has previously added new plug sockets, plastered up too to fill in part of the channel he created, not many electricians would do this. He closed up some cabling and again plastered up the small remaining hole. He also removed old light fittings and replaced with new. I cannot recommend Josh highly enough. One of the best days when a friend Paul recommended him.

Highly recommend Josh. Mine was a small job for an electrician (but not one I wanted to attempt myself) and Josh kindly fit it in at the end of his day which was much appreciated. He was quick to respond and kept me updated with his arrival time. Very pleasant and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him again in future. Thanks Josh!

Josh did a great job to a very high standard and worked around various complexities. He installed two new ceiling lights and wired and installed an outside light. There were issues with the wiring and the fittings previously done however he was able to rewire and refit the fittings so the electrics are now safer.

Josh is a competent and skilled electrician who is also a great general handyman and has done lots of work for me, including moving lighting, removing old sockets and building furniture. Would highly recommend.

The team were quick, tidy and clear on what would be done. Really pleased with the outside socket fitted and zero mess or signs they were here. Would highly recommend. How dealing with trade should be. Thank you.

Perfect little coffee stop for lunch & a quick caffeine hit! In the outskirts of the city for the day, I only had a short hour to find somewhere to eat & drink - Capuchin was the perfect little location! I initially walked past the door the first time, looking inside but being informed to go someplace else (close-by) which was supposedly the place to go... It was meant to be though because this location was being re-furbished & therefore, I came back here & was glad I did. The food was delicious & the coffee even better! I was served quickly with a friendly smile & the food didn't take too long to come out either. I can't remember how much it all came to but it wasn't a bad price & something totally expected for a good quality brunch & coffee. Would return & recommend a lot in what seems to be a competitive little corner (street). Well done guys!

I popped in for the first time on Saturday afternoon as I was early for a hair appointment. What a lovely little spot! I only ordered a pot of Earl Grey tea, but the service was warm and friendly with the tea piping hot. When I needed it transferred into a take out cup, they were happy to oblige. When in the village next, I will definitely stop by for its unpretentious and welcoming.

We had a lovely evening in Capuchin. It was our first time here. We met Rosie when we first went in and she made us feel so welcome. Corey and Emily are a great team here. Corey hosted us mostly on this occasion and it was just perfect. The atmosphere is warm. It was a Friday evening and the place was filled with happy hum of chatter. We can’t wait to go back, we’d such a lovely evening and met some really lovely people :)

Absolutely fantastic food being served here. I really hope it picks up for them as it was quiet when we went (it was a Wednesday though, so hopefully they get more at weekends). I would really encourage people to come here as the food is really great and authentic. The grilled lamb chops and chicken tikka were beautiful. Keep it up guys!

Lovely family restaurant in the heart of Altrincham. The flavours of all dishes are different to those experienced in other south Asian restaurants. Small menu but that’s just how I like it. Standout for me were the lamb chops. I really hope the restaurant does well as it deserves to be a core part of our local dining scene. Thank you Deepak for a lovely evening.

It's a small cozy restaurant, and we were able to book for the day after Valentine's day at short notice. The curry was slow cooked, and richly flavoured, with just enough heat to be really interesting, but not too much. The decor was interesting. The music was fine but was on a loop, which got a little bit annoying after a while, so only 4 stars for atmosphere.

We decided to try here as the menu looked nice, and it was a relatively new place. Service was fantastic the lady serving us was really friendly and was very responsive in her service, attentive and ensured to check in that we had everything we needed. We ordered the platter to start and then 2 curries for mains. The lamp chops on the platter were one of the best I have had, lamb was very tender and not chewy. It was our first time trying the cottage cheese tikka, this was really tasty and will definitely get this again. Flavour was nice on the curry's, the lamb gosht was tasty I would say the sauce was very gravy like on this. We also had a chicken curry, the flavour was lovely however felt the portion of chicken was on the smaller size. Overall really tasty and wpuld definitely recommend! The staff work really hard and it pays off.

Second time trying the food here, this time as a takeaway but still exceptional quality and service. Indian food with an interesting edge; I'd say by far the best I've had in the area. Very well priced for the quality you're getting. Definitely our go-to spot from now on.

Highly recommend these guys it has been a pleasure having them work in the house always clean and tidy. Both Lee and Steve have gone above and beyond to deliver a fantastic end product. We had a double storey extension and they have made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. They’ve both worked long hours to deliver the final product on time and been great at working well to fit in around the builders with first fix and second fix. They offered competitive prices and we have been really pleased we chose them. Thanks for all your help!

Outstanding service from BEC Electrical Services, Steve and Lee were punctual, informative and extremely professional. Steve's quote was detailed and very reasonable in comparison with other quotes i had received. From the minute they arrived to the time they left, they were friendly, knowledgeable and tidied up as they went along as they did several jobs on the day. I would highly recommend them, and will be using again, and have also suggested to family and friends to use them.

Unlike most electricians we've used in the past, he was super responsive, provided a straightforward quote, arrived on time, and went above and beyond to make sure the work was done to a high standard. His team were really polite and friendly, and cleaned up after themsleves too. Really couldn't ask for more!

Steve was a pleasure to have working for us, he has been friendly, professional and tidy from start to finish. He fitted a new fuse box and extra sockets for us, even though it was a difficult job due to the design of the house and being nicely decorated nothing was a problem and got the job finished without causing damage. Will be definitely using again, thanks again!

I cannot recommend highly enough. From Louise who took the initial call, Simon who came same day to assess the emergency and then to fixing and installing a new fuse box so everything was up to code within a matter of days.
