Perhaps I’m giving too much away if I write this bit right at the beginning, but one of the strongest signs for me when we visit a restaurant, is how soon after we go back, or the husband asks when we can go back. When it comes to Street Urchin we were, quite frankly, barely…

Restaurant Review: 9 Cut Fried Chicken, Dog Bowl, Manchester
After a quiet week or so, things are set to ramp up in my diary – personal celebrations, events, and the usual get togethers with friends. And it all kicked off with the first in person meeting with Manchester Whisky Club of the year. Of course, before whisky, there had to be food, and so…
Ply2 with El Bandarra
It’s been some time since I last visited Ply (now Ply²). In fact the last review style visit was before it changed hands. So an invitation to sample their El Bandarra Spritz was more than excuse enough. Since their change of name/ownership, the site has changed to a more Italian led menu. Pizzas are still…
Restaurant Review: Cheshire House Bar & Grill
It feels so good to get out and about. Still carefully. Still with all the precautions (I don’t think I’m ever without at least two bottles of hand sanitiser in my handbag, and my eyes ready to give dirty looks to the first person who sits on a bus or a train with their mask…
Shoku, Media City
I’m not sure where to start with this one. Normally somewhere new would come under the heading ‘opening’. But Shoku has been open since November last year. And in this case it was an invited blogger dinner coordinated by Lost in Cheshire. So I can’t really call it a review either. The attendees (for the…
Restaurant Review: Royal Nawaab, Levenshulme
I have rather mixed feelings about all you can eat style restaurants. Unfortunately all too often the term means a restaurant that doesn’t really do any of the dishes on offer very well. Stuff can be left out for hours, and whilst it might make it easy for a big group to find something that…
Restaurant Review: Lunya, Manchester
It’s a Tuesday night – we’ve been to an event, which was fabulous, but as it’s coming to an end, three of us find ourselves hungry, and no dinner plans in sight. We ponder the options. Should we grab something to take home, a sandwich on the bus maybe? Or a quick something when we…
Restaurant Review: The River Restaurant, Lowry Hotel
In a sea of January diets, and detoxes (still not a scientific thing, sorry), and adverts for being ‘healthy’ all over social media, I’m still just doing me. So as balanced as I can be, including gin, wine, cocktails, and good food. Which of course means supporting venues in their quietest month of the year….
Restaurant Review: Grand Pacific, Manchester
The best bit about the festive season for me, and to be honest about January, is the chance to catch up with the people I love. Whether it’s a snaffled pint in a busy bar putting the world to rights, or a leisurely dinner, both the festive season, and the quiet of January (and the…
