Review: Manchester House, Manchester
Manchester House
18-22 Bridge Street, SPinningfields, M3
Generally speaking, we’re a generation of fast eaters. We stuff oats into mason jars to eat on our commute, grab a hurried lunch or eat a salad at our desks, and often forego our evening meal altogether in favour of a gym class and/or cocktails. So food that stops you in your tracks and forces you to savour every single chew is quite a treat indeed. The team behind Manchester House – Living Ventures restaurant group and head chef Aiden Byrne – wanted to make fine dining a touch more accessible. Although this is still a destination we’d earmark for a special occasion, its naked wooden tables don’t intimidate in the way a white tablecloth would. No, we have no idea how you foam foie gras or dehydrate a white chocolate mousse, but that’s all part of the fun of one of the best dining experiences in the country.
When you approach Tower 12 in Spinningfields Manchester, it looks like a very normal city tower, don’t be fooled. Inside lies a very special experience for both food lovers and lovers of a life with a view. Two stunning independently different environments. The Lounge on level 12 and the Restaurant by Aiden Byrne on level 2.
