Top choice in Manchester


The most anticipated opening of 2018 was this rooftop restaurant atop a 20-storey tower, marshalled by local star Aiden Byrne (formerly of Manchester House). Great views and great food, courtesy of Byrne's signature style of supremely elegant, unpretentious cuisine. There's an outdoor terrace with a firepit and a grill that serves up good burgers and fish and chips.
