  • You couldn't drag me in there ha. A few months ago I was about to have some dinner in prezzo in vaults and that rat Neville was in. Had to walk out as it was winding me up

Whats your budget?

Whats your budget?

Not unlimited, but pretty robust

Jules is the man for Manc, gave me a top recommendation for an evening meal????

Hawksmoor on Deansgate is pretty good

Albert's Schloss would be my pick

Jules is your man. Has at 3 hour luncheons most days (apart from Friday's, when he has 4hrs and then knocks off early)

Hawksmoor on Deansgate is pretty good

Most likely suggestion to date

Fazenda

Paedo Greggs* and a bench in Piccadilly Gardens...

 

 

As a choice of 'wine' may I suggest a can of Spar's White Ace drank concealed in a discarded McDonalds paper bag?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*As in one of the heirs to the Greggs fortune is a convicted paedophile, and in no way to suggest any other noncey involvements by others involved in Greggs.

Done a few afternoons in Hawksmoor - good food but not amazing atmosphere. If not arsed about that get the private room for maybe 6-8 people?

 

Schloss is a half decent bar but nowhere near "Posh" and the food is very average.

 

San Carlo still one of the best afternoon atmospheres, Picolino's Grand Cafe a good afto vibe too. It's not in the posh category but only just under it.

 

New Grand Pacific is ok but limited menu, Australasia is a set menu for fair size parties as is Tattu but both upper end.

 

El gato Negro is a good afternoon shout actually

 

Shame Manc House, The French and Coopers shut post lunch about 2pm and Rabbit in the Moon is evening only

I do enjoy San Carlo

 

Feels a bit degenerate

Can't go wrong for me but I know folk that hate it

 

Rosso's been done up but I'm not a fan

 

Iberica is alright but not as good as El Gato Negro

 

Different theme but new sportsbar called Brotherhood is quality for American type grub, sports and loads of ales

 

Top of Central St

 

The boar ragu in Don Marco is amazing but again it's not "posh", if you're out to impress a client or summat

Rosso? Doesn't that knob head own that? You've been ? ????

If you want posh, look no further than Gaucho.

 

It'll test your budget.

Dead of an afternoon usually though

 

No natural light makes it more of an evening place in my experience

We went there the other week.

 

Food was absolutely stunning.

 

But like jules says I can see it being quiet in the day, we caught it just right, pretty quiet when we got in there but got busier.

 

Like spider says it will test your budget alright :)

 

....jules where was that tapas place you sent me down a side street off deansgate? That was ace that place

El Rincon de Rafa?

They had some bother with rats getting in a couple of years ago but apparently sorted it pretty quickly.

 

They're reet again now.

 

Great place for sitting at the bar with a bottle of wine.

oldham st has some of the finest establishments in manchester , if you want the genuine experience
