Best Cozy Restaurants in Castlefield

We went on a Sunday at 5 so it was not too busy. I have been on other nights when it has been extremely busy. This was a lovely afternoon. We opted for the Sunday Roast which was delicious. We chose the steak and salmon and both meals were lovely. This is a stunning restaurant and has a really good vibe. Staff are very attentive and make you feel pampered and special. I would definitely recommend and come again.

Lunch for 2 on the seasonal £40 sharing menu in the Saturday before Christmas. I’d heard and read so many good things about Higher Ground but not managed to get here until now, all of which were entirely justified. The interior (my bag) is cool, stylish and well laid out, tables not too close to each other. A really friendly welcome when we walked in, genuine and warm. Superlative staff, informed, enthusiastic without being over attentive, and knowledgable. Wonderful food, a smashing selection of dishes from the full menu. Pea fritters, British crab, incrediblly tasty cured meat, golden beets, warm freshly baked bread & whipped butter, succulent leeks - all excellent. Then a sharing main of Dexter beef on a delicate but hearty mushroom spelt porridge and a bowl of mash homegrown on the HG farm in Cheshire. I’ll be attempting to recreate smoked butter at home but doubtless will fail to make it this delicious. For the quality of food, attention to detail, quality of service, this was £40 per head very well spent. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

Atomeca wine bar is a great new edition to Spinningfields. The service was really good, the music great and there was a nice selection of wine.

We had a great experience for our anniversary yesterday. We had the premium bottomless brunch. The food was amazing and we had so much of it. The drinks were great and came so quickly. The service was super slick and really friendly. And they were playing great music and people were up and dancing. It was the best bottomless brunch I’ve been to in Manchester and definitely worth paying a little bit extra for!

We had a lovely time. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff and chef coped really well with my husbands allergy. Champagne was excellent and the cakes were particularly pretty. The staff were very attentive and pleasant
