A Posh Long Lunch In Manchester

TripAdvisor is your friend.

Difficult to navigate for a posh lunch

 

You'll find the top rated places on TA will be random cafe's and takeaways

 

The more expensive places tend to attract a more critical customer, even though everything's great they might only rate it 4 out of 5 and as such really good restaurants can come a fair way down the standings

 

Don't get me wrong I use TA all the time, it's a great app, just a bit misleading when your after a more expensive meal

 

Edit if it's good food your after the I tend to use the Michelin Guide - no places have stars in Manchester but you will still get a few 'good places to eat' -I found a cracking pub in Mawdsley (Eagle & Child) out of the guide

Manchester House

As above

 

You sadly can't have a long boozy lunch as it shuts 2/2:30pm til tea time

 

Could always go there for lunch and then on to one of that many bars/pubs nearby for drinks

 

Actually Diver thinking about that area, have you thought of Randall and Aubin on Bridge St? It's Brasserie style and perfect for boozy lunches. Very fish orientated. I really like it

Never heard of it until now; looks good and I don't want to be contricted by an early close!

 

I just don't get out enough in Manchester!

Rosso is the worst restaurant i have had the misfortune to eat in...stay clear!

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

It's v decent

 

I'd say Tapeo and El gato Negro beat it now. Iberica too.

 

More event tapas places in Manc than you can shake a stick at

Spoilt for choice and all good ones.

 

Lunya also decent on Deansgate with a nice Deli attached.

The croquettes are the best I've had in there

 

Cheese selection is immense too

 

All about personal taste mind ????????

 

Near the original Salvi's on JD St there's a top little tiny iti take away / cafe that do really good pasta / pizza at lunchtime. Think it may also be them?
