La Bandera – manchester

Went there with my wife, and the experience was fantastic. We had tapas and most of it was ready within 10 minutes and the remaining dishes came not long after. The service staff were very friendly and the food was marvelous. One of the best restaurants I've tried and I cannot recommend strongly enough. Definitely worth going!

Went here with my boyfriend and WOW what an amazing evening. The service as soon as you arrive to when you leave is 10/10. Really warm welcome, had everything explained to us and didn't feel rushed at all. The food is INCREDIBLE. Literally the best tapas I've ever had (and I've eaten at a lot of Spanish restaurants). My favourites were the meatballs, chicken in honey and mustard sauce and pork in a mango sauce. The sangria was equally delicious - I had two jugs no problem! Overall brilliant experience and would definitely return!

The food was good, a bit under I was expecting, but my experience was topped up by the service. Samuel looked very well after us, he is paying attention to the details and always ready to help. I work in the industry and I know how to appreciate a good service. Well done buddy, we'll be back, because of you! 👏👏

The food from La Bandera is absolutely gorgeous, service is all spot on and there's always a warm friendly welcome

Good range of drinks for a brunch. Food was a little salty but had a good range of choices to choose from in the brunch menu.

The atmosphere and decor here was initially really inviting and made us feel very comfortable. However the food and slow service really let it down. It is a shame because the waiter we had was extremely attentive and gave us lots of recommendations but I had to ask for the table to be cleared on 2 occasions and it took them so long to get to it. Also the food was nice but really nothing special for the price of it. I wouldn't recommend it when there are so many other great places for food in Manchester.

Fantastic little restaurant. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious, great quality and not greasy. I recommend ordering off the menu or doing the taster menu. Highly recommend a visit.

The food is just delicious, we had the Christmas paella with lobster and it was simply the creamiest, richest in flavour ever. We will definitely go back and try other dishes from their menu as well. A true taste of Spain in the middle of Manchester, would recommend checking it out.

We ordered squid ink paella with 'king prawns and fresh squid' with a bottle of wine and were confident with the choice based on the great reviews. The house white was good, but unfortunately the paella was terrible! It had not been cooked properly, and contained absolutely NO squid or prawns at all...none! Had I not known what paella I had ordered, I wouldn't have been able to tell you what it was. No seasoning at all either. We ordered early so if the restaurant didn't have seafood in, they had plenty of time to say...

9 of us went for a meal after seeing a show. Great food. Service was good. Would happily go again
