Bem Brasil Northern Quarter

I very much enjoyed the experience. Probably ate a little too much but it was so nice I couldn't help myself. Definitely feel I got good value for money. Staff were attentive enough without being intrusive.

If you are a big meat eater this is the place for you. A few things have changed recently, they no longer have a buffet however they have a good selection of sides which you can have as many or as little as you want for no extra charge. The selection of meats is really good. This is one of my favourite go to restaurants when I want a really good feed. Just don't forget to wear stretchy pants

Quality churrasco restaurant. Love how they don't over-salt the food in order to fill you up like a lot of other places do.
Quality meats and quality sides. The service could be a little better but not complaining.
Would recommend!

Fantastic restaurant, waiters are always walking 'round offering different cuts of meat (on skewers), which they will slice off for you. As much as you want. Excellent, friendly service and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We went for the afternoon menu and it was so good.
The food was really good and the service was polite & with a smile.
Made to feel welcome.
Will definitely be returning.

Not all our meats are Halal. We offer a selection of Halal options which are clearly marked under the "Halal Section" in our menu. This includes lamb, chicken and steak options.

Chai Latte

nice food but made us feel awkward for arriving at 4:30 and ordering food. It says online that you close at 5 so that's your own problem!

Edit: It would be nice to just be told we can't order. Instead we were allowed to order and not told about the "cut off" whilst the chef audibly shouts and the woman on the till is shaking her head. Just put a sign somewhere or use your mouth to say "the kitchen is closed". Do not blame your customers :)

Friendly staff, fast service and great food. Big seating area, comfy. Definitely recommend. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is that its a bit pricey compared to what I'm used too. £8 for eggs benedict in a cafe is just a little bit... was really nice, though.

Great food and overall experience, would recommend! We appreciated finding a halal spot that doesn't serve alcohol.

Speedy service and decent tasting food. Quite small portions in their English Breakfast though. For the same price you get more in places in the same area (as well as in London).

Everything on our menu is Halal. We don't have anything on the premises that isn't. Feel free to contact us if you need any further information.

Wingstop

5/5 ! Loved this! Now I get it why there's always a long queue when I walked past Wingstop, the chicken  wings had perfect flavours, the sauces are spectacular, that's their winning formula, makes them an enormous success and much popular against other competitors.

Always serving the most delicious food!

I opted for the boneless bites, in mango habenero and original flavour - a real kick on the tongue as the flavours are extremely hot and tangy - though super delicious. We also got loaded fries, sweet potato fries and a kids meal which was really generous in portions! I usually go to the London branch so I am very happy there is now a branch in Manchester close by. Super friendly and fast service as always. Recommend to ALL.

So I ordered one kids meal and one Full Flavour Fix.
Came back to the hotel to see it was missing half the order.

I had high expectations to be honest.
But unfortunately the chicken nuggets were still raw from the inside it was just a crunchy coating with flavour nothing special.
And please please whoever dressed the fries needs to be monitored, Fries tasted more like the sea.

Amazing food and great service! Absolutely love the food from Wingstop and it’s a treat to have as there is only so many branches in the uk.

The flavours were amazing and well worth the travel, the service was good and in a timely manner.

The only downfall to this visit was the toilets- one of the toilets was covered in vomit and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

Everything was tasty, cooked well and helpful friendly staff. However the wings are small and the price is quite high. At that price and being a wing place the wings should be premium size

Evelyn's Cafe & Bar

Impeccable service! Every single member of staff we spoke to were really friendly and attentive. They picked up on my friend being pregnant and as they served her brunch assured her the egg was pasteurised with the red lion symbol before she even thought of asking! The cocktails downstairs were amazing and again the staff stopped to talk to us throughout the night and we had a laugh, really couldn’t recommend Evelyn’s enough.

Really nice vibe here with lots of natural light and the service can’t be faulted. The breakfast was fine although a bit expensive in comparison to the other brunch places available minutes away. Happy with the experience but I won’t be hurrying to recommend it

Visited yesterday with a hen party and it was fantastic. The food was amazing. Very well presented and tasty. The service was excellent. Our lovely waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were well tended to, he was an absolute delight. The cocktails were the best we had all evening both in quality and presentation. I will definitely visit again with my family.

Top notch for brunch. It's a lovely environment with plenty of greenery which feels like an oasis away from your usual daily Manchester weather. Staff are lovely and attentive. Drink wise it's great, you've got plenty of coffee options (peanut butter jam latte anyone?). The food is also amazing, you'll be ogling the dishes as they're being finished off by the kitchen. The shakshouka is delicious and our eyes were drawn to the pancakes (as well as the steak and cheese dish). It is busy, even at 10am on a Monday. Recommend booking a table. A gem of a breakfast venue.

I had the Sunday dinner trying both the chicken and the beef sirloin. For what you are paying they aren't worth it. The meat was tasty but portion wise they should not cost more than 10-12 pound. Then they also do a discretionary service charge when they do nothing to deserve it.

Booked a table. Obviously it's chicken on the menu, but burgers and other things too. Went for the combo that's chicken breast, thighs or drumsticks. A sauce and a choice of fries. Ordered and paid via the app which was straight forward. Service was quick enough given it was lunchtime. Staff friendly and helpful.

Best chicken I’ve ever had. 4 people in our group and every single person said the same thing.

Good price and cocktails were great!

Awesome Fried chicken, and particularly good Gravy! The menu gets a regular update and unfortunately a lot of our favourite items came off, hence one star dropped. Great atmosphere in the closed off street

lovely place...sat outside which was really nice but inside looks good too. very prompt service from really friendly staff. shared a few sides, all of which were really tasty and pleased with the bill. couldnt fault it and will definitely be back 🤩

Had a very nice welcome and the delivery was quick. Food was great also. At the risk of sounding old though, the only problem we had was that for a place to eat the music was too overpowering. You could not have a conversation with the person sat directly opposite because we were downed out. It would have been ok if it were a bar, but we went to eat out not for a night out

Fress Restaurant & Bar

Lovely place for brunch and drinks. Had a nice catch up with some friends. Customer service was brilliant and were very attentive. Food was also well presented. The atmosphere just gave me a lovely American style setting. Was lovely. Hope to visit again

Spontaneously dropped by Fress whilst walking by, to grab some breakfast with my partner. We chose the Full English breakfast and the Brekkie beast burger.
The good: the food was hot and freshly made, with good portions. Didn't take too long to arrive either. The cheesy hash and scrambled eggs were yummy and the staff were attentive in catering to what we needed.

The less-good: unfortunately lacking in flavour and quality of meat compared to some other places we've tried in Manchester. Not a fan of their flat sausage. The sourdough toast was also pretty hard, but it was better when it had absorbed the baked bean sauce!
The burger was very messy to eat!

Overall the experience was good, but we wouldn't rush back. We definitely left will full bellies though. 🥓🍳

I came here from a place down the road after waiting for service for over 30 minutes and it was such a better experience, you know like a restaurant/ eatery should be.

Seated immediately. Order taken within ten minutes.

Food arrived approximately 15 to 20 minutes laters and was delicious.

I especially liked cheesy hash, a new addition to a full English breakfast I’ve not seen elsewhere.

Busy place but demand is well managed by diligent and professional staff.

Both a hit and a miss at the same time?!
We went on two separate occasions to @fressrestaurant and have some mixed feelings.

Vibe 💖💖💖💖🤍
We felt like Fress had a good vibe. It’s small but decorated with a really cool feel. We appreciated the cute velvet pink chairs and neon signs.  They also had offers for cocktails and bottomless and we think it’d be a good place to for these kind events.

Service 💖💖🤍🤍🤍
We felt a little let down by the service unfortunately. The staff seemed stressed and possibly down a person or two (not sure if this was the case but we did feel bad for them). We tried a few times to speak to someone about getting the bill after waiting a pretty long time and found it difficult to catch anyone’s eye.

Taste 💖💖💖💖🤍
The first time we went we both ordered the ‘Smashed Avocado’. One with streaky bacon (added halloumi) and one with smoked salmon. We were blown away not just by the presentation and the delicious taste but also by the portion size!  Image 5 you can see there was two pieces of toast with loads of avo and smoked salmon on each (not to mention the sauces and poached eggs).

The second time we went though, the bread tasted kinda stale and the poached eggs were overcooked and almost acidic (swipe to the end for the video). Both times the coffee was super milky and not great. That being said, they’re known for their desserts, cocktails and dinner.  We don’t know if it was just a bad day the second time, or we got really lucky the first time. What’s your experience?

Instagramability: 💖💖💖💖🤍
The dishes were beautifully presented. Couldn’t be better and we wanted to give 5/5 but the coffee’s were so disappointing, we’ve had to reduce a heart.
