Quickly established as a “Manchester institution” since its 2015 opening, this Deansgate branch of the hit London chain offers “quite simply the best steak and accompaniments around” – it’s “difficult to find fault as everything is top notch: the quality and cookery of the beef; the exemplary seafood, be it Salcombe crab on toast or lobster; even down to their sides of mac’n’cheese, bone marrow or Caesar salad”. That said, as with its cousins down south, it’s “best if someone else pays!”.

“I'd go to Hawksmoor any time of day or night, any day of the year just for a Shaky Pete’s (gin, ginger, pale ale) and a bag of chips with anchovy hollandaise…but throw in some very fine meat (and fish, don't forget the fish), invariably perfectly cooked, and it’s really just as well it’s 50 miles away, or I’d be reduced to selling internal organs to pay for it all…” – one reviewer evocatively sums up the joys of this all-rounder Mancs outpost of this über-hip (but not inexpensive) steakhouse chain.

“The stuff meaty dreams are made of!” – this “vibrant yet relaxed” outpost of the hipster steakhouse chain (which opened in 2015) is arguably the classiest all-rounder in Manchester. “The bar area may be a bit overwhelmingly clubby, but the main dining area is – at least at lunchtime – light and airy”, occupying an impressively converted Victorian space, and with comfortable seating. Steaks are “amazing”, “all the sides are also faultless” (not least “the best chips in the north west!”), and also “what is surprising is the quality of the seafood in what is a carnivore's delight”. “Service is always top notch and the wine list is a dream”. Sadly, though, the special offer whereby you can buy £4,500 bottles of wine for £300 has now finished!
