  “Came for lunch and had the sandwich and soup deal. I chose the Steak frites salsa verse sandwich and the one soup they had was the spiced carrot and parsnip soup. I have to say this is probably the best lunch deal you can get in Manchester. It may be slightly further away from the city centre but it’s definitely worth it. The quality of food you get for £9 is fabulous and the service and atmosphere is great too. I will definitely be coming back more regularly while I’m in Manchester and this is a must try if you work somewhat nearby or are travelling to Manchester”

  “I LOVED our visit here. This is possibly the best meal I’ve ever had in Manchester. We went for the £28 Tuesday steak night (three courses + a glass of wine) and have not stopped thinking about it. We actually agreed that we’d travel to Manchester from Leeds purely for this meal. Staff were all super lovely, their cocktail special was DELICIOUS and the service was really cute. Also liked their bathrooms. Wish they had clearer online signage about their happy hour since we would have come earlier for a pre-dinner drink if we’d known about it.”

  “Every dish we ordered was outstanding! We had the BBQ Chicken Sandwich, croquettes, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Tiramisu, and every single one exceeded our expectations. I honestly didn’t expect a simple BBQ chicken sandwich to be this delicious. It was incredibly well made and full of flavour. You can really tell the team puts a lot of care, passion, and attention to detail into every dish they create. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!”

  “We had wonderful service and everything we ordered was fantastic! My wife has a food allergy, and they quickly went down the menu to indicate what could be enjoyed or which items might have a substitution available. I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite item, between the roasted young hen, the roasted beets and feta, or the Basque cheesecake. Highly recommend!”

  “Ancoats has industrial character in spades, but making these cavernous concrete envelopes feel genuinely hospitable takes skill. Elnecot manages it well. Tucked into Cutting Room Square, it offers a relaxed neighborhood vibe backed by a sharp, seasonal menu that isn't afraid to take you on a flavour journey.. The special pickles and ferments are an excellent opening 'nibble. Far from a perfunctory palate cleanser, they offered an assertive, bright hit of acidity and crunch, with each element retaining its structural integrity. It is practically mandatory to pair this with their very fresh homemade focaccia! beautifully bouncy, olive-oil-drenched bread with a properly salted, crisp crust. For the small playes', the oxtail orzo delivered pure comfort. The pasta was perfectly al dente, suspended in a rich, glossy reduction with melt-in-the-mouth oxtail. It’s a heavy, deeply savory dish that managed to avoid feeling leaden. A flavour of winter in the summer, not an obvious choice, however, gorgeous. However, the real surprise was the roasted kohlrabi. A brassica that can easily lean towards the pedestrian, here it was roasted to a caramelized, tender vulnerability. It retained its clean, subtle sweetness while offering an almost meaty texture that easily commanded the center of the plate. Service is casual but switched-on, keeping pace with a dining room that fills up quickly. Elnecot skips the easy theatricality of "fine dining" in favor of rigorous flavor profiles and a solid understanding of ingredients. It’s a very good, grounded anchor point for the Ancoats dining scene. I was eating alone tonight and was very well looked after and made to feel at home.”

  “The Sunday roast is incredible! It’s the only place my partner and I go to get a Sunday roast in Manchester anymore. Worth every penny. It’s also on Shuffle so you can get cash back when you dine there!”

  “A group of 6 of us visited for a birthday dinner and had a lovely time - it was the first time any of us had been, and we couldn’t fault the vibe or the service. 6pm on a Wednesday, there were a few other groups but nothing too busy so the restaurant had a nice energy. Most of us chose the burgers on the menu, with a few small plates as sharing sides - the crispy potatoes and asparagus were incredible! They also brought out a candle on the pudding, even though we didn’t tell them it was a birthday dinner; they must have just heard us and payed attention, which I thought was a really nice touch! Maybe a little pricey for small plates (just a tiny bit, hence the 4 stars) but overall it was delicious!”

  “Came for a friend’s birthday brunch, they gave her complimentary fizz which was lovely. I had the french toast with vanilla ice cream. We were told that today it was a rhubarb french toast as opposed to the mixed berry option that was on the menu. It was nice to try something new but to be honest the rhubarb wasn’t to my taste and I would have liked the option to have had the mixed berry topping. Nevertheless everything else was great- friends had the vegan brekkie and loved it, the atmosphere was fab and staff friendly. Will return for happy hour!”

  “I’ve been here twice - once for a Sunday roast and once for their weekday lunchtime deal, so reviewing both in one go. Both times had great experience with the food!! The chicken Sunday roast here is sooo good, I loved it and my friends really enjoyed their beef option. One friend had come from abroad; it was her first ever roast and she finished her whole plate - so that says everything! The weekday lunch deal soup and sarnie is such good value at £9! The soup for that day was harissa spiced veggie soup which was delicious and I chose the braised beef with mayo sandwich. It was served with extra gravy and I loved it. Definitely recommend this place and I would absolutely come back!!”
