Amazing food variety from their 3 kitchens (spanish, Italian and Scandinavian). It's like a food court with a nice bar. Each kitchen has its own menu but you can mix from the 3 menus. Most of the menu is tapas style so it is great for sharing. Everything we tried was very tasty. It is located in a beautiful building right in the town center.

Amazing experience, Iv eaten at all three restaurants separately and what a line up they have chosen. To be able to order from all three is class, everything felt premium, service was fast and casual which makes you feel comfortable, the food was perfect and the cocktails were spot on. Zero complaints 10/10

What a place. There are a number of multiple food vendor style places in Manchester now, all of the ones I have been to have been really good, but this one is separated from the rest in how they have done it. The staff were all really friendly and knew their stuff, the location is really good and the food was unreal. There were 4 of us and chose a lot of things from all vendors and it was all amazing. We then had dessert and a cocktail to finish. I had the Black Martini which was amazing. It’s a bit pricier than others but I think totally worth it. I will be going back.

I was recommended their sister restaurant Sur in the north of Manchester, but decided to try this new location - and I'm very glad I did. It felt energetic as soon as I walked through the door, with a DJ in the middle of the room, three food market stalls around the main seating on the right, and a large bar on the left. The welcome was immediate and warm, and I was very quickly escorted round to a group of more intimate tables in the corner facing the bar, which suited me perfectly. From there, I could watch the world go by, and I didn't feel awkward about eating on my own (I was in Manchester for one night for business). I was given a menu - three different themes, matching the three food market kitchens I had seen when I entered: one Scandinavian, one Basque, and one Italian. There's a good selection on each - you can order across menus (Scandi starter, Basque main etc) but I was in the mood for Italian, so ordered from the Sur menu. Drinks order was quickly taken - a carafe of Northern Macedonian white, which was excellent - and a bottle of clear fresh water added to my table, with a glass poured for me. I asked for some help to order, and Sophie - who waited on my table and was fantastic all night - helped by discussing options. We settled on the orecchietti with house sugo for main, with the fennel & radicchio orange salad as a side, and the rosemary & garlic sourdough bread. I have to say, writing this two days later, my mouth is still watering - the salad and bread came out first, and the two flavours worked so deliciously together, I could have eaten that all night! Aside: a lot of reviews mention the saltiness of the food. I loved the full flavours, but they are strong and the salt in the bread draws out the sweet and sour taste from the dressing on the salad. The orecchietti felt almost bland after the taste assault of the bread and salad, but actually it went really nicely with the wine. I decided, after a discussion with my partner in crime Sophie, to have the tiramisu dessert (frequently recommended) along with an espresso martini. I usually steer clear of strong coffee in the evening, but this combination was exquisite. I loved the thick coffee texture of the cocktail, and the tiramisu is split into its constituent parts so you can choose to combine them as you wish - biscuit, mascarpone and alcoholic sauce. Delicious. I honestly had a real treat here, and I'd love to come back and try the other menus. The atmosphere was great, staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service and food. Located in the old natural history museum , three choices of kitchens for food. The seating is a mixture of booths and benches. Overall nice modern vibe with open kitchens. Huge selection of food for tapas style sharing or larger mains. The seafood we ordered was delicious soft shell crabs and the prawns were sinfully juicy! Also ate the house sugo pasta , again packed with flavor and delight. Staff were very attentive with water brought to us without asking. Eager to return to try out the other dishes next time I'm back in Manchester.

This place never lets you down, we were celebrating 2 birthdays, I will say this the experience is different, with lots of new Booze, new Food to get used too. But everything is fantastic, great cocktails, premium beers, and an original selection of wines. Now the food “Best Broccoli Dish” seriously you have to try it, plenty to choose from and priced for quality, but not expensive. The new pasta kitchen do an amazing 8 hour shin beef ragu spicy and warming perfect for these autumn / winter nights.

We probably over ordered however everything we ate was amazing. We had Txuleton (sharing steak) it is pretty big and could easily be shared by 3 or 4 people. Focaccia, crispy cod, arancini, tenderstem broccoli, vodka pasta. We ordered margaritas to drink and they were just right, not too strong or too sweet. If you’re eating later on, be mindful that people do come in for drinks and can be standing around whilst you eat.
