Adam Reid at The French – manchester

We enjoy to go out. Yesterday we came to this excellent place which we didn’t know before. We had a lovely time there with delicious dishes and a nice stuff and a great cuisine. We put this restaurant in our list and we will definitely return very soon. We highly recommend.

It was such a treat to go back to The French and it didn’t disappoint. It’s in a beautiful room, the service was efficient but very friendly but most of all the food was memorably delicious. I don’t know why they don’t have a Michelin star. the service was excellent, every dish was a joy to see and taste. Will definitely be back.

From the moment you arrive in that restaurant team give you a great feeling. Very friendly waiters, it is a kind restaurant to hang out with your friends or with your date. Great cooking, talented chief cook and stuff, modest pay and generous service. Warmly recommended.

Last week was our first time we came to that restaurant. But It is no doubt not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the courteous service, with the superb dishes and booze and with the decent pay. We will definitely go back there in a short time.

We enjoy to go out. Yesterday we found this excellent restaurant which friends told us about. We spent a lovely experience there with delicious meal and a well-trained crew and an impressive cook. We added this place in our phone list and we shall definitely visit again soon. We deeply recommend.

Wasn't bad. I mean we enjoyed the food, but couldn't say it was spectacular, and when you pay 250 quid for a meal, you expect it to be. Service was pretty good though and chefs coming out and explaining their dishes was a nice touch.

Came with my 13 yr daughter who wanted to try a 'fancy restaurant' for the first time. I have to admit it was underwhelming...3 hours to finish the menu which was - on the whole - pretty average. Plus it was a warm day and the room has no air con...dont wear anything too thick if you visit...but honestly for this type of dining experience there are much better restaurants.

Second time enjoying the Signature experience which if you go back to anything after your first experience you know it's good. I could review the food and wine but you just know its going to be good. Wine pairing this time for 2 dishes were just mind blowing, paired to absolute perfection so well done again to the lucky pair that travel testing wines for us. If your going, make room for 3 hours of eating and drinking, enjoy the room, your company but more than anything the food and wine. You won't be disappointed.

Had the 10 course tasting menu and wine flight last week. The setting and ambiance was great however the food is not of the same quality. A number of courses were cold, the scallops, monkfish and venison. Some accompanying sauces were exceptionally salty. The ham on 1 course was also very fatty. It was mentioned through the service the issues however nothing was done. On the wine flight we were give an Ale / beer! Which is strange and the sommelier was serving the wine when half way through a course. Having had a number of tasting menu around Manchester, this is one I would not return too and in my opinion not worth the price.

I love the fact they try to keep the menu northern, and that they go for quality over frill. Very inventive menu - Cant believe they made something THAT delicious from giblets. And theyre quite daring too....e.g. serving cold scallops with tomatoes had me wincing for a second. Pricey, obviously, but well worth it as its quite different. Even their bread and butter was totally different! Really pretty restaurant too, and i loved that each chef came out to present their dishes. You can tell they also get on as they banter about each other's dishes etc. I'd dock half a point though on desserts. One of them was plum done in several ways....it was just too much plum. Otherwise, this place is so so so worth it!
