Harden's survey result
Summary
This Manchester tapas pioneer of two decades’ standing is “still good after so many years” – with a “vibrant atmosphere” and “food and wine of a high quality”. “The Altrincham branch is sadly no more (having closed down at the end of 2023), but the Deansgate original still flies the flag”, along with branches in the Northern Quarter and Knutsford. The business developed out of an enoteca importing wine directly from family-run Spanish vineyards, so “the wine list is especially strong”. Top Menu Tip – “excellent paella”.
Summary
For 22 years, this pioneer of Hispanic food and wine in Manchester has provided “great tapas, with interesting choices”, while “showcasing the very best in world-class, award-winning Spanish wines from family-run bodegas”. It remains one of the most commented-on spots in town, and now has four branches (in Deansgate, the Northern Quarter, Knutsford and Altrincham). Some would say that “it doesn’t feel like it’s kept up with how Spanish food and flavours have evolved in the City” or note the food is “good but no better than that”. But “it’s big, it’s comfortable” and “even it has been overtaken as the top destination for tapas in Manchester, you can still spend many pleasant afternoons and evenings here”.
Summary
This Deansgate-based quartet offers a “great selection of tapas”, after two decades at the forefront of Hispanic cuisine in Manchester. The excitement level has fallen off a little in recent years, but there’s little to suggest that standards have greatly declined. The original is now joined by branches in the Northern Quarter, Knutsford and Altrincham.
Summary
“Miles better than most other tapas places” (if “difficult to find”) – this Deansgate venture has pioneered modern Spanish cuisine and wine in Manchester for more than 20 years. It’s still at the forefront of the region’s dining scene, having spawned branches in the Northern Quarter, Knutsford and Altrincham.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
