About Exhibition
Exhibition is a food hall-style restaurant in Manchester at 56 Peter St, with three kitchens under one roof: Anatra, Morejoy and BKK Diner's Club. Diners can order across all three in one visit. Anatra turns out pasta and arancini with chilli aioli, in portions suited to sharing. Morejoy serves soft shell crab with ginger scallion sauce, and BKK Diner's Club prepares raw bass with Thai flavours. A cocktail list runs alongside the food, including a spicy mezcal special and a clementine daiquiri. Dessert includes a mango sticky rice ice lolly.

Customer Review Summary
Soft shell crab is the dish diners name most, described as crispy and well fried, and a stand out even without its ginger scallion sauce. Close behind are the tender beef short ribs with garlic sauce from Morejoy and the Anatra arancini, a generous portion with a slight chilli kick. Raw bass with Thai flavours and the salt beef salad also draw praise, as do the spicy mescal and clementine daiquiri cocktails. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, and a few mention lively music at a volume that still allows conversation. The recurring complaint is uneven seasoning. One reviewer found Morejoy's seasoning strong enough to leave them thirsty, the venison pasta was called underseasoned and watery, and the pesto spaghetti with confit duck yolk was decent rather than memorable. Others found portions small and some dishes lacklustre. One diner was confused by the first bite of the mango sticky rice ice lolly, then found the second bite refreshing, like a palette cleanser.

“Had a lovely meal here with some friends. The choice of three venues meant there was something for everyone. I had the king prawn skewers followed by the tom kha curry and it was exceptional. The staff were really friendly and there was a lively atmosphere - good music but at a volume that we could still chat over.”

“Polite and professional personnel. The food was either very spicy, or very sour or completely indifferent. This a personal opinion and does not mean the food is not good. However, having been to several countries trying different restaurants I can say that Exhibition can definitely do better.”

“The food was nice, very small portions but not bad. The staff were very friendly and lovely to talk to. The best dish was the white rabbit jelly and pink custard, highly recommend. Some of the other dishes were slightly lack luster but overall a pleasant experience.”

“We had an amazing evening here and everything was perfect. The restaurant had a really classy and cosy atmosphere that made us feel relaxed straight away. The staff were outstanding so kind, helpful and attentive. They made us feel very welcome and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was absolutely incredible. Every course arrived quickly and looked beautiful. The presentation was so impressive that we spent ages taking photos. The taste was even better. Every dish was full of flavour cooked perfectly and made with high-quality ingredients. The desserts were especially amazing. A truly unforgettable experience.”
