The combination of smells, sights and sounds (not to mention taste) make for a truly sensory experience.

Conveniently located on Turner Street – just down the road from Manchester’s High Street – Solita is a modern, US-style restaurant and bar serving the best of the Deep South straight from their indoor barbecue and charcoal oven.
With three locations across Manchester, Solita has definitely struck a chord with the city’s meat lovers, and it’s easy to see why. With so much on offer – a great variety of wings, an awesome steak selection, grilled seafood, hot dogs and burgers – you’d be forgiven for thinking you were actually eating in a southern American state.
Splash out on the Solita Signature Steak – a mouthwatering bone-in prime rib that’s been aged for 40 days, served up with skinny fries. If you’re super hungry, get a couple of sides to go with it – Homemade Coleslaw and Charcoal Grilled Corn on the Cob, along with a bottle of Amarillo, one of Solita’s signature craft beers.
The Grill on New York Street is located on – you guessed it – New York Street in Manchester City Centre. Part of the Blackhouse family, this joint is another top choice for meat lovers – no-frills food, with wholesome ingredients and awesome flavours.
You’ll find only the best of British beef here – 100% purebred, grass-fed and aged for 28 days for tenderness and flavour. Ribeye, rump, sirloin or fillet – take your pick. They all taste amazing and come with home-cut chips. Get some sauce on the side or upgrade to Surf & Turf with baby scallops, prawns and crayfish with garlic butter – mmm!
Pie & Ale
Found on Lever Street, Pie & Ale is, in their own words – all about the pie! Delicious, freshly baked pies with award-winning real ales, craft beers and fine spirits. Winner!
From classic pies like Three Cheese & Ale to more exotic offerings such as the Mouflon Tamatie Bredie, Pie & Ale have a dish to suit all tastes. Whatever pie tickles your fancy, enjoy it with one of eight rotating cask ales or one of their 50 real ales from all over the world.
Bem Brasil
Bem Brasil can be found on Lever Street in Manchester City Centre. A celebration of authentic Brazilian cuisine, this award-winning restaurant has locations all over the country and offers a totally unique dining experience. Feast on the flavours of Brazil until your heart's content, all for one inclusive price.
Bem Brasil is a churrascaria – a restaurant that specialises in churrasco style cooking, which in Portuguese and Spanish simply means grilled meat. Expect the finest cuts of chicken, pork and beef – all roasted on traditional charcoal barbecues. The process enhances the taste of the meat by locking in all important juices and delicious seasonings, all of which can be enjoyed from their banquet-style buffet, along with a selection of traditional Brazilian sides.
