A Collective For The People - Edit
In my humble opinion, food halls are an absolute revelation, particularly when populated by dynamic, forward-thinking independent traders. The ability to cherry-pick the finest offerings from numerous vendors under one roof is a blessing in itself, but their greatest strength lies elsewhere. They allow devoted plant-based paragons and those yet to see the light (heathens) to dine together with remarkable ease, neatly sidestepping the culinary minefield of agreeing on a single restaurant. Manchester has been blessed with some fabulous examples in recent years, and this venue confidently joins their ranks.
Read moreBenefiting from a beautiful fountain-side location, this sunken sanctuary feels wonderfully detached from the vibrant city above. Descending into the courtyard gives the impression of discovering a little oasis hidden in plain sight, its relaxed atmosphere encouraging you to slow the pace. Naturally, though, my attention soon shifted to the important business of deciding what to eat - and, perhaps more importantly, what to drink.
Before a morsel of food had crossed my lips, the in-house bar had already won me over. Boasting a superb range of clearly labelled vegan beers from independent breweries, it was exactly the sort of thoughtful curation I love to see.
My first culinary foray came courtesy of Slap & Pickle. Sadly, the Baconater burger never quite justified its lofty price tag. The plant-based patty had strayed beyond ideal caramelisation into something noticeably overdone, while the no-duck fries carried an acrid edge that overshadowed what should have been a rich, savoury dish. Perfectly serviceable, certainly, but nowhere near as memorable as I’d hoped.
Thankfully, Manzoku restored my spirits. Having developed an almost insatiable craving for katsu, resistance was futile. Their beautifully crisp, deeply comforting curry delivered everything I wanted from classic Japanese comfort food, while an accompanying order of chilli gyoza provided just enough warmth and bite to complete the meal.
Although my choices varied in their success, I left convinced there is still plenty more brilliance waiting to be uncovered here. If all else fails, there’s always the rather magnificent beer waiting patiently on standby.
