Perhaps Manchester’s fi nest restaurant, Le Mont is stunning in every aspect, and well deserves its excellent reputation. Housed in the imposing glass structure of the Urbis Center, its 15th floor position affords panoramic views over the city. The food balances robust flavours with delicate presentation, incorporating the grand legacy of French cuisine while remaining contemporary in touch. The lamb cooked in different rustic styles is a delight, and the impressive wine list is well-chosen. The service is uniformly excellent, making a meal at Le Mont a top-notch experience in every way.

Big, rustic French flavours are the order of the day at the Malmaison hotel restaurant. The menu wisely turns its back on the more intricate tendencies of contemporary French cuisine in favour of big, bold favorites. The steak and chips is excellent, as are the oysters, and rice pudding to finish leaves you with a warm glow of satisfaction. The cellar is also excellent, encouraging the jovial atmosphere that resonates through the main dining room.

While Manchester’s Chinatown abounds with oriental eateries, the Yang Sing shines out as a beacon to the joys of Cantonese cooking. It stands head and shoulders above its competitors in terms of style, presentation and the sheer quality of the produce used in the sophisticated fare. Expect fresh scallops served with asparagus, ostrich breast pan-fried in chilli, and monkfish drizzled with a lemongrass coulis. The service is friendly and any inquisitive visitor will be delighted by the in-depth knowledge of Chinese cuisine shown by the staff.
