Manchester is one of the most exciting cities in the country and it's no surprise that it has some of the best restaurants we've seen.
From celebrity chefs and owners, to antipodean cuisine and barbeque food, there's something for everyone.
We've put together a quick guide to show you some of the best restaurants in Manchester.
San Carlo Cicchetti
Located on the ground floor of House of Fraser, Cicchetti is a modern Italian restaurant in Manchester. Part of the well known San Carlo group, Cicchetti is said to be one of the UK's highest grossing restaurants. With a shiny, modern feel to it, it's grown a large following from the football giants that live in the local area.
The menu itself is extensive and interesting. Make sure you try out the warm carpaccio, it comes covered with curls of black truffle, an experience in itself!
Nearest Car Park: Our 1 Port Street car park is only a short walk away from San Carlo Cicchetti, Manchester.
Michael Caines
Situated within the ABode hotel, Michael Caines restaurant in Manchester is something truly special. In possession of multiple Michelin stars, Michael Caines has become world famous for his unique menus and this restaurant at the ABode hotel features contemporary British cooking with Mediterranean influences.
The tasting menu is particularly fantastic, with an incredible selection on offer with wines to match.

Rosso
Owned by Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand, Rosso has become another famous Italian restaurant in Manchester.

Don't let the glitz and stars put you off though, the food is also great. With a fine selection of everything from carbonara to fresh mussels, it's an absolute delight. Make sure you try out some of the fish whilst you're there, it's amongst some of the best in the city.
Rosso is a unique night out, and you never know who you may bump into!

63 Degrees
Bringing a taste of Paris to Manchester, 63 Degrees is a delightful French restaurant run by Florence, Eric and Alexandre Moreau. Featuring a modern, atmospheric feel with a nod to Manchester's industrial past, the restaurant has piping and vents on the ceiling, mismatched lamps and stencilled walls.

Australasia
Australasia, Manchester brings something completely different to the city. Before you think it, there isn't a chicken parma, a shrimp on the barbie, or a can of XXXX in sight.
Instead, Australasia is modern australian cuisine combining Pacific Rim flavours underpinned by European cooking tradition. Blending Indonesian, Southeast Asian influences and Australia's strong ties with Japan help to give it a particular taste and style. The restaurant offers two ways of eating, a selection of local smaller dishes, or a standard main for one.
Featuring unique menu options such as grilled mackerel in banana leaves and crispy pork belly with a pineapple curry, you can be assured that there'll be something you've never tried before.
Nearest Car Park: Why not park at our 75 Dale St car park and enjoy a stroll through the city before eating at Australasia, Manchester.
Red's True BBQ
The newest addition to Manchester's restaurant scene comes in the form of Red's True BBQ, a sister to the incredibly successful Leeds branch.
Boasting waits of over two hours, Red's Leeds has been a resounding success and the feedback for the recently opened Manchester restaurant has been incredibly positive. Boasting more space, later opening times and the same fantastic flavours, it's a recipe for a great evening.
Try out the pulled pork and brisket combo plate, it's a gut-busting treat. Amen!
Nearest Car Park: The 1 Port Street car park is only a short walk away from Red's True BBQ Manchester, but just enough time to work off all of the food you've consumed.
