About Benito Lounge
On Wilbraham Rd in Manchester, Benito Lounge is a restaurant styled as a living-room-style lounge, with artwork along the walls. Board games and toys for children are on hand, and there are treats for dogs. The menu includes all-day breakfast with an avocado smash, plus a tapas offer built around a tapas trio of three dishes, with Patatas Bravas among the plates. Gluten-free and vegan options sit on the menu. Hofmeister is on draught, and drinks are ordered at the bar. The space also hosts local events and regular group meetings. It is part of the Loungers chain, a short walk from the tram stop.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is the most frequent draw, with reviewers praising a freshly made English breakfast, an all day breakfast served with a tomato-shaped sauce bottle, and a delicious avocado smash. Close behind is the tapas. One diner singles out generous portions of patatas bravas and Louisiana chicken tenders on Tapas Tuesday, though they did not enjoy the harissa chicken skewers, while another calls the tapas trio fair value but not brilliant food. A watermelon drink and Hofmeister on draught also get a mention. Friendly staff come up repeatedly, with separate servers checking on meals and a quick response when several tables arrived at once. Regulars rely on the gluten-free and vegan choices, and two reviewers enjoyed sitting outside in good weather. The one detailed complaint comes from a solo diner who found a server short and brash when asked for a table number, though a different server who followed was cheerful and accommodating.

“You know what your getting with a lounge and benito lounge doesn't dissapoint. Added bonus of local events and regular group meetings. Its my go to place for eating out gluten free and with vegan friends, plus great food and drink options and general atmosphere”

“Awful experience today at Benito lounge. I came out on my own (something I don’t usually do) and the lady who served me was nothing short of rude, unhappy to help and a stinking attitude. She asked me to give her a table number so I told her I didn’t know it and she was brash and short with me multiple times. She was very inconvenienced by me and less than willing to help. I do not visit the caff often so I do not know this lady’s name but she has red hair. I said I was sorry but im not used to being out on my own and I dont know how it works. A different lady served me afterwards and she was cheerful and accommodating but sadly the experience still left a bitter taste. I don’t go out on my own often for this very reason.”

“A faultless visit to this lounge on a Sunday afternoon. We sat outside as the weather was glorious. Ordered food on the website and also popped to the bar to order drinks. Chatted with the very friendly staff. Loved everything and would highly recommend.”
