Restaurants near Blue John Cavern

If you’re visiting Manchester, this is undoubtedly one of the city’s finest restaurants—if not the best. The food quality is exceptional, complemented by a fantastic wine selection, and the service is truly outstanding.

We have been many times to The Barrel Inn. There’s always a great choice of menu at reasonable prices. The food is fabulous. The staff are lovely and pleasant, good ambience. On a fine clear day the views are to die for at the front of the pub. Just is my favourite place to eat.

My sister and I went to Blacklock to celebrate early christmas. Sirloin was great and the sides were impeccable especially the chips. The cocktails were delicious too, I highly recommend Caribbean Whisper

Incredible dinner at The Ivy Asia. Opted for the pre-theatre set menu for £40. Came with 4 courses each and we also chose two extras off the main menu. All of the food was amazing, generous portions and definitely worth the menu. The staff were all superb and so attentive, didn’t catch the main of our waitress but she was outstanding. The tables are quite close together and the music fairly loud so it was definitely noisy and hard to hear each other as we could hear the next tables conversations so bare that in mind. But the atmosphere was lovely otherwise. First time at The Ivy Asia and will definitely be returning.

Our third visit having previously tried a breakfast and evening meal we opted for lunch. We had two battered fish sandwiches, ham hock and a Christmas Caesar sandwich all served with a side of fries. Everyone enjoyed their meal and I had the latter. My turkey was hot, tender and not dry, delicious. A nice proportion of Caesar salad to bread ratio on a lightly toasted roll with an accompanying side of crunchy fries. With 3 breakfast teas and an americano coffee the bill for four was a little over £58. Given the quality on offer I would advise booking as not surprisingly we only just got a table at 1pm. Highly recommend
