Top British restaurants in Manchester, United Kingdom

After a stay at the Radisson before I went away, I decided to grab a quick bite at Collage Restaurant while waiting for my train home at the end of my holiday. Unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. The prices were steep for what was offered. I paid £12 for a small, unremarkable glass of wine and £10 for a portion of Korean chicken bites, which consisted of just five average pieces. The burger that followed was equally lacklustre - small, with chips that had an odd texture. Although the food was underwhelming, the quick service and pleasant setting saved the experience from being a total disappointment, barely justifying the three-star rating.

Best steak we have had, the big “wing” sirloin. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the staff were great. 10/10.

Great food, great drinks and a great location to spend time before heading to the flight terminals. Many of the window seats have a view of the aeroplanes if you want it, otherwise there are comfortable booths for families and bigger groups.

We tried this restaurant for the first time the night before our flight. the environment is clean and informal but well-kept. the service was pleasant and with the right pace. i found the menu in general a bit overpriced but i think that's normal for a restaurant inside the airport a few steps from the terminal.

Service was very slow, and I had to keep getting the attention of waiting staff they sat us down and then felt like they forgot about us. The ribeye stake was full of gristle, and tbh I was very disappointed for £40 I would have expected a nicer cut. I understand it's an airport restaurant and it will be expensive however I expected better quality and better service.

One of the worst hotel dining experiences ever. We stayed here same time last year and things were ok. Tonight however, I ordered calamari that ended up having some string-like rubber band around each piece cooked into the batter, clearly contamination or lack of prep. (We've made calamari from scratch in our home kitchen, and eaten it around the world, never had this gross, disgusting problem.) The staff showed little interest other than to say, "Would you like something else?" Discussing with host at end of meal, there was no indication of having reported it to the kitchen staff, no manager came to discuss, and they offered only to remove the cost of the item and 30% off the remaining food. "Linguini with prawns" had five small shrimp, and terribly overcooked mushy linguini. I know this is a hotel, where staff are in short supply and overworked, but the lack of care and interest in serving simply good food astounds me. Server never even asked how was the food or follwed-up for additional drinks or dessert. I'm a Radisson Rewards member, but I will NOT eat here again.

We expected the food quality to be much better than it was considering the price we paid.

We had 2 alcoholic drinks, prawn linguine, burger and fries, cheese board and a chocolate/salted caramel torte = £106. We’ve had better meals elsewhere at a much lower cost so we did not feel we got good value for money here, particularly as the food quality was poor. Unfortunately, we wouldn’t recommend this place and won’t be returning.

The cheese board was poor: the crackers were bland and some of the cheese tasted a bit stale.

The torte was supposed to be chocolate and salted caramel but couldn’t really taste the latter.

Prawn linguine was OK but not very flavoursome.

Burger was alright but forgettable and nothing to shout about.

The main positive is that the staff were friendly but this is obviously not the main reason people go to restaurants.

First time here after a few friends saying it was great. Thought we'd treat ourselves for valentines. Definitely 5 stars, if I could give more I would. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left the staff were all friendly and attentive. Shout out to our server Carmen here as well. She was lovely with a great sense of humour! We went for the prime rib and a few sides. Meat was cooked to perfection and everything tasted great. Ace cocktails as well. It's a bit pricey but completely worth it!

Recently had the pleasure of dining at Hawksmoor, the second-ranked steakhouse in the world, and let me tell you, it was an honor to be there. I highly recommend the crab on toast and the beetroot salad – they were phenomenal.Now, onto the steak. While the taste was impeccable, I must admit the presentation was a bit lackluster. Just a plain piece of meat on a plate felt a bit underwhelming. A touch of gravy or some tomato slices could've really elevated the dish visually. Nonetheless, the steak itself was cooked to perfection (I ordered it medium).

However, soon after eating, I had to dash to the restroom, which made me question their cleanliness standards. Hopefully, they'll take extra care in the future.Despite that, it was amazing and I recommend anyone to visit here.

Just posting my review now (this was from a few weeks ago). This place is absolutely amazing, I had heard great things about this restaurant but my expectations were over met for sure. The service was brilliant. The food was so flavourful and to be honest I’ve never had a better meal than it. The chips were to die for. The only note I could make is that the cocktail menu is too small, I would love to see more of a selection in the future.

The best steak I’ve had. We had a selection each cut was cooked perfectly, so much flavour and seasoning and then melts in the mouth when eaten. The starters were great the pork ribs superb and the bone marrow was something a bit different. The service was good. Not bothered too much but very attentive and was there whenever we needed. The ginger beee drink we had was really good as well highly recommend.

I’ve been here few times and love it. Service is very good and food is tasty and delicious. We went for Sunday roast this afternoon, beef was tender and pink however the Yorkshire pudding was on brown side than golden and this was a let down. Pear and honey cheesecake is worth it to try if you are cheesecake fan!

Popped in for lunch with my better half today. We are quite well versed in dining out, it's a shared passion.

We were served by a gentleman called Danny and he was thoroughly well versed in the menu, attentive and I actually thanked him for the experience before we left.

Food was exquisite, Diane sauce on the fillet with bone marrow and the brie mash... Those scallops too!

Images to follow.

One shall return.

U N R E A L!
Went for a private function through work and my gosh was amazing.

All served medium rare and it was to die for. From the sirloin, ribs and rump definitely a meat lovers dream

Enjoyed the Yorkshire starter as well. Good to see the Midlands are able to make good Yorkshire Puddings.

Finished off with the sticky toffee pudding. Belly definitely filled and happy that eve.

Best Roast Dinner

Both the food and the service was exceptional.
This has to be the best Sunday roast in City Centre.
We got the beef rump roast with all the trimmings. It comes with biggest Yorkshire pudding you’ll ever see ha.
We also ordered celeriac mash and sausage, stuffing and mac n cheese for sides. It was more than enough for the both of us.

As for the service, it’s 5 star, the staff are super friendly and very helpful.

All in all not too be missed

Food was good. We had to wait some time for food to arrive, as we ordered 1kg rib sirloin. However after all staff gave us 15% off on food for a long wait - which was very nice from them. However if you don’t have time to wait you can go classic “fish and chips” - it was looking great.
