MUSU

We were totally spoiled by the food and the staff. All dietary needs catered for with no fuss by the chefs. Great open kitchen. I'd never had a Japanese taster menu before and I was not disappointed. Will definitely visit again.

My husband and I went to Musu on a Thursday night and I have to say it was excellent. The food was incredible, the staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Our waitress in particular, a Spanish lady, was very knowledgeable and explained the dishes perfectly. We went for the a la carte menu and had some sashimi before that. On reading the reviews I was expecting to be disappointed or hungry but was far from it. We will definitely be back! Might try the tasting menu next time!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of dining at MUSU, a remarkable fine dining restaurant nestled in the heart of Manchester. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was about to embark on a culinary journey like no other. MUSU exceeded my expectations in every way, leaving me in awe of its impeccable service, exquisite ambiance, and, most importantly, the outstanding 11-course Kaiseki tasting menu.

Let's talk about the food. Each dish presented throughout the evening was a masterpiece in its own right. The skilful execution and attention to detail were evident in every bite. The flavours were harmoniously balanced, showcasing the essence of Japanese cuisine with a contemporary twist. From the delicate cured sashimi to the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu beef, each course was thoughtfully crafted and left me wanting more.

The 11-course tasting menu at MUSU is a true celebration of culinary artistry. It takes you on a captivating journey through various textures, flavours, and techniques, showcasing the Chef Patron Michael Shaw’s passion and expertise. Every dish was a revelation, showcasing the finest and freshest ingredients with flawless precision. Each course seamlessly transitioned into the next, creating a symphony of flavours.

To complement each course, MUSU's wine pairing was nothing short of perfection. The sommelier's expertise shone through as the hand selected wines effortlessly enhanced the dining experience. The seamless integration of flavours between the food and wine was a testament to the restaurant's commitment to delivering an unforgettable experience.

Beyond the culinary delights, MUSU's sophisticated and elegant ambiance provided the perfect backdrop for an evening of indulgence. The sleek and modern decor, combined with warm and attentive service, created an atmosphere that exhibited both luxury and comfort. The staff's knowledge and passion for the cuisine were evident, as they guided us through each course with grace and enthusiasm.

In conclusion, MUSU is a hidden gem within Manchester's culinary scene, offering an unrivalled dining experience that surpasses all expectations. The 11-course Kaiseki tasting menu is a true work of art, showcasing the culinary mastery of the talented chefs. With impeccable service, a refined ambiance, and an unforgettable wine pairing, MUSU has set the bar incredibly high for fine dining experiences. If you are a lover of exceptional cuisine and seek a memorable evening, MUSU offer’s it all.

I can confidently say that MUSU will be etched in my memory for years to come. It is a testament to the restaurant's commitment to excellence and a testament to the power of a truly remarkable dining experience.

I went for the lunchtime sushi set menu. It was a little quiet so I had the luxury of having a lot of staff serving few customers. Customer service was brilliant. Food astronomically tasty. Dunno why this place doesn't have a Michelin star? Expensive, small portions, but worth it as it's high quality. I'm definitely going again!

Incredible food and service. The staff are really experienced and informed to help with your choices. The sushi is the best I've ever had, including any I've had in London and Singapore. Will be going back for the tasting menu. Yes it is expensive but when you try to the food you will see why, the quality is second to none and better than anywhere else in town.(We eat out twice a week and have done for 5 years so tested a lot of restaurants.) I am sure they will get a Michelin soon.

We offer Halal chicken on our menu. If you are wanting to order Halal Beef, please let us know via email on reservations@musumcr.com. We will require at least 72 hrs notice prior to your booking.

Great British burgers and homemade rosemary chips

Honest Burgers Manchester

Absolutely deeeeeeeelicious 😋
THE best burger I've had in a long, long, long time! Plus able to order it pink 💗
The fries with the salt and rosemary were an excellent addition to the burger, fantastic.
We also shared a portion of onion rings.. and my god am I glad we did share, what a portion! They also have to be the biggest onion rings I have seen, that have actually tasted as good as these too... I'm sure they put fennel seeds into the batter too, just adding to the greatness of the rings!
Thank you SO much for a lovely experience, thank you for good honesty food.

I can’t believe that people have left bad reviews of this place. Every time I visited Manchester (bi-monthly) I used to check out a different highly rated burger restaurant as I’m a big fan of a good burger. Honest Burger has completely ruined this for me now as I can’t stop myself from going there every time I visit. The tribute is 100% the best burger I have ever had and I have tried them all over the world. A quality pate, cooked to perfection (medium rare) and the perfect amount of toppings (can’t stand it when people ruin a burger by putting too many toppings on it). The rosemary fries are awesome and the gravy is unreal! But my favourite thing about honest burger is the consistency of food and great service. The staff couldn’t do more for you. Since The Laundrette has overtaken Honest on trip advisor as the best burger in Manchester, I have decided to give it a shot on Tuesday before the United game. I’m expecting a great burger but I  just don’t see how it can beat the tribute. I’ll report back!

*Edit, loved the staff at the Laundrette, Cracking little spot and would be absolutely bouncing if it was in the middle of Manchester. The service was second to none, but the burger was nowhere near the tribute!

This was my first time eating Honest Burgers. I ordered online for a click and collect. The food was beautifully packaged and not to mention outstandingly delicious!

We we’re a table of three that just walked in at a peak busy time, and managed to get a table. The food was fantastic, absolutely worth every penny, the only downfall was we waited about 1h15mins because the kitchen lost our food ticket. Ce-Ce (the waitress) was incredible about it though, and heightened this rating!

Modern but cosy feel to it. Solid wood tables and comfy enough chairs. The burgers were good but nothing to marvel over. We had the Manchester special which was described as a Beef Wellington. I was a little disappointed with it as the description had really made it sound very appealing. The beef itself was delicious, juicy and tender however the rest was a little underwhelming. It had a crafted mature Lancashire cheese, mushrooms and spinach. The cheese  reassembled any similar melted cheese to me and the way the mushrooms had been prepared meant the texture and even flavour was lacking. I think slices of mushroom would have been a better choice. The rosemary fries became a bit much after a while as did the gravy. My son's had just Honest burgers and really enjoyed them. Good selection of beers too. There's a lot of competition for burgers in Manchester and this place holds it own.

All of the chicken in our restaurants is halal. If you would like to see our supplier’s halal certificate please ask your server when you arrive. Halal products are stored separately with strict processes in place to stop cross-contamination. Halal chicken items are handled with separate utensils and gloves. Fried halal chicken burgers and wings do not share fryers with any non-halal items. Grilled halal chicken breast burgers are cooked on a reserved area of the grill separated by a grill divider. We do not offer halal beef at any of our restaurants.

12 of our restaurants (full list below) offer a halal Buffalo fried chicken burger. We will be rolling this out to more restaurants in the near future so watch this space. You can find our Buffalo fried chicken burger at Bank, Cardiff, Finsbury Park, Liverpool St, Manchester, Portobello, Reading, South Kensington, Spitalfields, St Katherine Docks, Tooting and Watford.

Tattu Restaurant and Bar

For us the food wasn't worth the price or the hype.

Jasmine rice was hard and clumping. The sauces that went with the lamp cutlets, bbq chicken and duck springs rolls all taste shop bought and out of the bottle. The rock shrimp had an added fish taste to it. The lamb was slightly overcooked as well.

The Tuna wontons were very nice and fresh. The banana fritters were amazing and the best thing we ate.

The decorations and ambience is amazing it's a shame the food isn't. Cocktails were nice though.

The food here was AMAZING. As a vegetarian I was extremely happy with their veggie options which were absolutely incredible. I like how you can eat the food in a tapas style if you want, or you can have the traditional way of starters/mains/dessert. The veggie chicken dish is insanely good - you could hardly tell it isn't real chicken and the flavours are perfection 👌🏼. The drinks are nice and the bento box drink is very fun. The decor of the space is also very beautiful. Have already planned to go back here next time I am in Manchester.

What an amazing place. It was recommended to us by a friend. We ordered wagyu steak and lobster and wasn't disappointed. The food and presentation was first class. The service was great. The atmosphere was also great, a DJ was playing but not intrusive at all. The decor was very nice and the seating felt intimate. Overall a great experience and will definitely be back. Well done Tattu

Forgot how amazing the food was, and the services was like no where else, thanks to the sweet Natalia and her impeccable timing and manners. Shame I didn't have cash on me to leave as a tip. Music was just right, and the decors attention to detail is impressive. I will definitely be going again! Munk fish 👌 chefs are 🔥 thank you for a perfect night

One of the best places to eat in Manchester.  Stunning decor,very helpful and well informed staff and the food is sublime. The Rock Shrimp is delicious and my daughter had fillet of beef with caramel soy sauce,she said it was amazing. Really can't go wrong at Tattu.

Very lovely Indian place to eat. Plates ate preferably to share and they’re exceptionally well cooked, very tasty and lots of vegetarian choices. The staff were super friendly and explained some of the dishes for is which was great. A bit expensive but it’s very good quality. The building itself it’s just beautiful too.

Really really impressive! I found it a slight modern twist on a traditional curry style restaurant. The setting is amazing, the ambience is really chill, food was all great, good level of spice! Plenty of drinks and wine options, friendly staff and overall worth visiting! We’ll be back.

I can't begin to explain how much I loved the food. I live in America and am seriously considering flying back just for the lamb chops.

As you can see, the food was so good I ate before I remembered to take photos of it untouched.

I sampled several dishes and it was all so tasty. I definitely recommend going. You won't regret it.

Food is immaculately good. We enjoyed a three course meal at Dishoom. The variety of food is great for Vegetarian and Vegans too. The unlimited tea lasts until 5pm

Although, service is slow the food makes up for it. It was unbelievably hot on the day we visited, the air-conditioning was not on.

The best Indian restaurant I’ve tried in the UK so far. I am a foodie and I can definitely swear by this place. The ambience is lovely, customer service is 10/10.. and the food ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. The chef’s special biryani was top notch.
I met my best friend after 7.5 yrs and the server was so lovely and considerate - he actually served a complimentary cake and ice-cream to celebrate the occasion 🎉🎉🥳🥳
If you visit London or Manchester, please please try out this restaurant 😀😀

Our lamb and chicken is Halal. Alcohol is served. Bacon is served on our breakfast menu. Ask a member of staff for details.

Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences

Another fusion food restaurant, fantastic fixtures and fittings but lacking that personal touch. The extra cost is lost for the feeling of feeding the money train. Use to be great now it’s just average but worth a try if you haven’t been I guess

Such a beautiful restaurant, great food, drinks and atmosphere. All the staff as lovely and very attentive to their customers, perfect location for a lovely date night or girls lunch. Definitely in the top 5 restaurants to visit in Manchester ☺️

Sushi and prawn tempura were the real winners - lamb chops were extremely fatty and chewy, very unpleasant way to end the meal!

Drinks were neither here nor there, very run of the mill - expected a lot more for a restaurant of this calibre and the price you pay!

Aesthetics are incredible here and the vibe was vibrant, airy and upbeat. Would I visit again? I’m not sure.

Amazing night. Top quality food, delicious cocktails and all very well presented. Even then I have to say the best thing about it was the service. My man Kane couldn't have hosted us better. Proper sound guy, and went out his way to make our night more enjoyable. Will be back! Kane for employee of the month !

Modern Australian/Asian cuisine. Taster menu offers best way to try various dishes. Staff informative and helpful, cocktails a little expensive but worth it for a special occasion.

Our meat is not halal however we do have plenty of fish and vegetarian options.

Was here last week with some friends. Amazing experience - food was great and so was the atmosphere. We were looked after by Juan who was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. He kept checking up on us regularly and was very nice. He made our experience so much better! I’ve been to many restaurants in my time, but the service we received from Juan was right up there!! Look forward to returning here soon!

Fantastic service, great food, lovely atmosphere. Would recommend to the meat heads of the world. Prices are reasonable too for what is on offer. More towards a special occasion dinning experience but certain be enjoyed any time.

One of the loveliest restaurants in the UK. The service was incredible and we couldn’t have been happier spending the evening of our anniversary there. George was particularly amazing and kind. The food was beautiful but the service made it more than just dinner but an experience. We will definitely be back!

Very unforgettable experience. The luxurious selection of meat was really good! Desserts too! But i ended up paying £200+ for just 5 people but it was definitely worth it!

Amazing food.  Meat was delicious and service excellent.  No salad bar but brought sides to the table which was actually better for us!  Wide range if delicious drinks to choose from including a great non alcoholic range!

We do offer a halal selection, yes. You can take a look at our halal rodizio selection on page 11 on our Food Menu. All halal options are clearly marked in our menu.

I absolutely love this place!

I've been a couple of times. The first time I came just for cocktails, which are really nice. They're a bit on the expensive side because they don't have any kind of happy hour type deal, but to be honest it is more of a restaurant. They were still really nice though.

Since then, I've always gone when they have vouchers available on Manchester Confidentials. This means I've pretty much had 50% off which is amazing, especially because the food is flawless. They have some really great vegetarian and vegan options too. The coconut rice was the best rice I've ever had (but it is sweet so if you're not into sweet then it might not be best for you).

Staff are friendly, nice atmosphere, good prices and GREAT food. Would strongly recommend.

Lovely food and atmosphere. Really well presented and food arrived quick. Customer service is honestly the best, all of the waitresses were so attentive. The food portion was really filling and tastes amazing. Look forward to returning again!

Food was decent. Service was really good and the place had a good vibe.

I would definitely come back - not the most amazing Thai but everything still tasted pretty good.

You can’t go wrong with Thaikun!! The food is amazing!!
Every dish tastes so so good!
Only downside is it’s quite pricey and the portions small but it’s so worth it!
I would definitely recommend 😊

Superb Thai food served with style and authenticity in a vibrant yet chilled atmosphere. Staff are reliable, quick, attentive and always available.  A good pace to food and drink service . Perfect place to have a couples meal or a get together with friends.

The Ivy Spinningfields Manchester

Best restaurant in Manchester. From the moment you approach the restaurant  you’re welcomed by the guy smartly dressed at the door. Walk in to the beautiful lobby where you are welcomed and seated at your table.

The interior is truly something to behold and super relaxing and welcoming.

The food is second to none and we were kept entertained by our wonderful waiter Lewis who is a real credit to the business.

Highly recommended. 5 Stars.

Amazing experience and so glad I finally made a visit.
The staff were warm and welcoming from the start. Just the right level of professionalism and friendliness. They were very attentive but not in your face all the time. Anticipated my needs throughout the meal 5 star service.
Will definitely be returning

First visit to this popular restaurant. Decor lovely. Service very good. Waitress was very pleasant and efficient. Cocktails pricey for just a couple of mouthfuls. Just had one as it was a special occasion. Meal was nice but have had equally nice meals elsewhere. Wasnt that many courses on the menu that I felt o could choose from. May go again in the future.

Great place. Food great and not overly expensive, in fact I would go as far to say good value as the portions very on the large side in the top floor restaurant. Brilliant weather added to the ambiance. Staff really attentive and nothing seemed too much off a problem, even as far a knocking us up cocktails that were not on the menu

Excellent, friendly service here.  Staff very attentive. Lovely surroundings.  The food was very good and not too pricey, but menu choices limited. Wine list priced by the glass not bottle not sure why this was but the bottle of Merlot ordered was quite expensive. Be prepared to spend! Having said that however,  I would definitely go again.

Scene Indian Street Kitchen

Server was moody and didn't know the own menu.

Possibly the worst experience I've had in a long time. We waited 30mins to be seated even though we had a reservation and had to ask numerous times for our table. Unfortunately the table we were given was dirty and we had to request for it to be cleaned. On arrival the card machine was broken in the restaurant but card payments were still working in the bar. After finishing the meal the staff were really unhelpful and refused to allow us to pay with the working machines. Instead we were forced to send payment via bank transfer which we were happy to do, but they didn't want individual transactions. They were expecting one person to pay which would usually be fine but not appropriate for a hen do. After another 30 minutes of being ignored and the staff avoiding making eye contact they reluctantly allowed us to pay separately. They refused to give us receipts for our payments and insisted on us showing them the transaction which was very intimidating. In addition, senior management was extremely rude and spoke to our group as if we were an inconvenience. There are so many better places in Manchester it's really not worth visiting. The staff ruined our hen party and didn't care. Awful experience and the food is average!

Attended to scene yesterday with my
wife and friends. Customer service was pretty poor, have to constantly
ask for waiters to assist in help. We had to wait over 1 hour 45 minutes for our mains to arrive, which was very disappointing,and even when they did arrive they didn’t taste very nice at all. It’s a shame really because we were looking forward to it. Would
probably recommend going somewhere a little further out food, considering
how busy the restaurant is, there is very little consideration and attention to its customers.

Overall nice restaurant and food.

The starters were the highlight for us, very flavourful, could've had a full meal on just starters.

The mains were underwhelming relative to the starters. Still nice food but not at the level I expected for Scene. Maybe we just chose the wrong dishes...

Will be back to try more of the food for sure.

The restaurant itself looks beautiful, plenty of areas where you can take decent pictures. The man that greeted us was lovely (I'm assuming he was the manager), very warm and welcoming. However, when we were seated, I realized the table was so sticky, to the point that once your plates and glasses were down, we were unable to slide them around when we wanted to move them. This wasn't pleasant at all. The food was what I was looking forward to the most, which was super overpriced and was really bland. Expected a lot from their food, was really disappointed. So, 2 stars for the deco and the man at the front of the house who greeted us, thank you.

We visited yesterday for our friend's birthday and had a fabulous experience. All of the food we had was delicious - fresh, tasty ingredients and really generous portions. The real highlight, though, was the service - our waiter (we didn't get his name, unfortunately, but he told us he was from Brazil!) was friendly, attentive and couldn't do enough for us. He pulled out all the stops to ensure our friend celebrated her birthday in style and he really made our night. We will definitely return and recommend to others.

Wow what can I say... beautiful atmosphere and super tasty food. We called this morning to see whether the restaurant could accommodate a last minute request for a table of 10. After moving around a few tables we were told we could sit together and dine. Marta was so lovely and thoughtful, we had 4 young children and she specifically took our order quickly to ensure we received food in a timely manner. We will definitely be back here again. We ordered a range of dishes and each one was different and tasty. Thank you for a lovely evening!

We were a walk in group of six diners who wanted lunch and were attracted by the decor and outside menu. The staff were friendly and were able to seat us immediately.  The food was delicious, reasonably priced (for a city center) and catered well for the two vegetarians in our party. While the venue seemed clean and the decor was fun, the only tiny negative was having two of the three cubicles in the ladies toilets out of action which caused a queue even for the five females in our party who all went in together. A pleasant experience which added to a nice day out.

Unacceptable service! The  waiter was on another planet as in spaced out. We asked for a condiment to be brought and it never arrived, we asked for the bill and it didn't arrive. The reason for this? a group of his friends arrived and he was distracted with them. This group of friends sat with their feet up on the chairs too. They weren't eating. There was myself and my GF and a table of 4 when we arrived so quite quiet. The menu was not adaptable to our dietary requirements when asked although an alternative was given which was appreciated.
The food was poor and appeared it had been kept warm all day which tasted stale this was mainly the roast fennel.
I had the fish which was flavour some. The pickled veg was delicious.
Diabolical service and poor quality reheated food put me off and will not return again.

Sat outside enjoying the cool breeze on a hot day. Very friendly staff. Turkish beer was very nice. I had the most wonderful chicken wrap on salad with chick peas and hummus.
Interesting flavours. Check the interiors with fabulous decorations. Prices are good for the district

The meat in all of our restaurants comes from approved and certified halal suppliers. All our restaurants hold alcohol licenses.
