  “The service, especially the really attentive people here, is extraordinary!! Was the really most best restaurant in Manchester!! Little example: we came here, whitout a reservation, an the man at the desk said, there is unfortunately no more table available, but then he looked for a little table for us. Great just great!!!!”

  “The service was excellent, water Inc sparkling was complimentary and I had an alcohol free sangria which was very nice. The dishes, presented well, came out fairly quick but the meat dish my wife ordered came 30 mins after everything else. The portion sizes where great however I feel the prices didn't reflect them. They tasted nice but it wasn't anything spectacular. The cauliflower sauce base tasted like carrot soup but the cauliflower itself was nice. The broccoli was lovely with a hint of chilli, the mushrooms where very tasty, the Mezze was a bit to much like mouse and didn't have any texture. My wife said the chickens was ok. Everything had an overall paprika taste and didn't really offer anything of excitement. We payed the bill which had a 12.5% tip already added. Overall it did have a nice quiet atmosphere but was just average and a bit flat in flavour.”

  “Went with the girls last week for a catch-up and a drink. The table next to us ordered a seasonal starter - a packet of salted crisps with prosciutto and parmesan all over it! It was insane! Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!! Xx”

  “we ordered about 10-11 dishes. it was a bit of a hit or miss. i really enjoyed the fried olives. it came with a lovely lemon sauce. the mezze platter was okay, nothing crazy. the mushroom croquettes were very nice. the shrimp in mango sauce was whole and not deveined so it wasnt pleasant but the sauce was nice. the pork belly was ok. padron peppers were good. patatas bravas were soggy and the sauce tasted like spaghetti sauce. jamon croquettes also good. the sangria was also good and service was friendly and fast. overall good but not great and definitely overpriced.”

  “Would’ve been a 5/5 if we didn’t order the sea bream. The tapas were all really well executed. My personal favourite was the mushroom croquettes, the black garlic aioli was the cherry on top. Highly recommend the ox cheek with celeriac purée too, incredibly soft and it just melts in your mouth. The pan con tomate, calamari, and cod fritters were all excellent as well. Dog friendly is another plus! The only disappointment was the sea bream. Personally, I don’t think the orange basil butter sauce worked with the fish as it gave it a slightly bitter taste. Sea bream is quite delicate, so a lighter and fresher sauce like cherry tomato, basil, garlic, and olive oil would complement it much better.”

  “Potentially the best bottomless in Manchester! Thank you to Renata, our amazing server, who ensured we had the best time and were always filled up on drinks. Food portions were so generous and tasty, such a good selection of dishes. Drink selection was equally as varied, and Renata always made sure our glasses were never empty!”

  “The food was outstanding. The pork belly and the pork secret is what you can have in Spain. Cheese table and pan with tomato like in Barcelona. Excellent guys”

  “Very attentive and friendly staff. Our drinks & food orders were taken promptly and delivered to the table shortly after. Food was nice, beautifully presented, a little dear for some portions but to be expected for tapas. Ultimately, the food & our experience made for a really nice lunch!”

  “We booked Canto Tapas as another January deal option, this time for a catch-up with four friends. The restaurant was absolutely packed when we arrived, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately, we were seated close to the front door, and this did affect the experience a little. People were constantly leaving the door wide open, making it really chilly. I found myself having to turn around every few minutes to politely ask people to close it, which was frustrating and took away from what was otherwise a very enjoyable evening. It would really benefit from something that prevents the door being left wide open or an auto-closing mechanism, especially on cold evenings. Food-wise, we ordered a generous selection between us: sangria, ox cheeks, salt fish croquettes, sea bream in orange, cauliflower, patatas bravas, pork belly, lamb skewers, mushroom croquettes, bread, and a cheese board. Every single dish was beautifully cooked, well presented, and full of flavour, there wasn’t a weak plate among them. Service was excellent. Our waitress, Tamara, was super attentive, friendly, and made us feel really welcome. We never felt rushed, and despite our allotted time technically being up, we were told we were more than welcome to stay, relax, and enjoy ourselves, which was really appreciated. Without the January deal, I’d probably order a little less, as it is on the pricier side for tapas. That said, the quality absolutely justifies the cost. My only real criticism is the door situation once that’s sorted, the experience would be near perfect. Overall, great food, great service, and a lovely place for a relaxed group catch-up. I’d happily return.”
