Beautiful food in a beautiful setting. I went to lounge 10 for the first time last night and was blown away with how lovely the food was, no one in our group had a bad meal, however I did find the portion sizes to be small so make sure you order a side plate of veg/chips with your main course.
I had the mushroom risotto which I can honestly say was the best I have ever tasted and the Eton Mess for desert which was just heavenly.
The atmosphere in the restuarant is bustly and they have an excellent live singer on which adds to the night. They also have an amazing magician who will visit your table whilst you are waiting for your food and show you some tricks, ask him to make the cards fly-I have never seen anything like it and could not work out how it was done.
The only down side to our experience was that we were sat on the ground floor and it was very cold when people were coming and going through the front door. Admittedly it was freezing outside last night so there is not much the staff could have done to make it any warmer but if you are visiting in the winter I would recommend asking for a table upstairs when you book.

The pizza here is delicious, especially so after a night on the beer! It is deep pan pizza with tasty toppings that seems to melt in your mouth. I think my boyfriend would eat the pizza from here every night for tea if I let him.
The only thing that puts me off is the big Halal sign in the window, before I saw this I happily ordered chicken and pineapple pizzas and enjoyed every bite of them but now unfortunately I have to stick to none meat pizza because I can’t stop thinking about it, funny how your mind rules the things you like and don’t like to eat.
The staff in here could be friendlier and I wouldn’t recommend ever eating in, the place is dirty, the seating ripped and one glance at the toilets and you’ll be unable to finish your tea. However nonw of that matters if you’re taking out which the majority of people do.

The cornerhouse cafe is a perfect place to chill and escape the bustle of Manchester city centre. There are plenty of tables and it is light and airy.
They have free wi-fi for customers which is a nice touch although don’t expect to be able to use it if more than a couple of people already are.
The tea and coffee are nice and tehre is a good range of cakes usually. They do have a food menu which includes pizzas and sandwiches but it is limited and the food is not the best, I found my meal to be bland the last time I ate there.
The best thing about the cornerhouse is the mix of people, it isn’t just a student place, people of all ages come in here to relax. You can easily chill out the big sofas with your book or laptop and while away the hours whilst sipping your coffee.

Matt and Phreds is one of my favourite places in Manchester, the perfect place to sit back and relax with a bottle of red and listen to the live, extremely talented musicians.
If you want a table make sure you book well in advance, you’ll only be given one if you’re eating a meal and even then you’ll need to specify that you want one at the front, we once got given a table at the back which meant people stood in front of our table and we couldn’t see.
This place gets busier as the night goes on with people crwoding in to stand at the back and watch the acts so a table at the front is a really good place to be.
The food in here is just average, pizzas and tapas sometimes, it’s nothing to shout about and the service is slow but it’s decently priced and the food isn’t the reason anyone comes to Matt and Phreds.
You’ll find a mix of ages and people in here which adds to the quirkiness of the night. If you like Jazz music it’s pretty hard to beat Matt & Phreds.

Kro is a chain of bars in Manchester of which Kro 2 is one of, there is another one further down Oxford Road and also one in Piccadilly gardens. In my opinion this is the best of them.
It is a large glass building with picnic benches out the back making it one of few places where you can sit outside in Manchester city centre in the summer.
The best thing about Kro 2 though is the breakfast, they do full cooked English breakfasts, teacakes, musli, sausage and bacon sandwiches and the coffee is top notch. If you go before 11am they have a deal where a coffee and a sausage sandwich is £2.50. They also have a coffee and a cake deal on all day but the price of that slips my mind at the moment.
At night Kro 2 gets busy in the summer, often too busy to move which can be annoying and it can get very hot in there with it being glass.
The bar prices are too expensive at £5 for some glasses of wine there are cheaper, better places to go for a night out.
In short i’d recommed Kro 2 for breakfast, a coffee or a sociable drink outside on a summer day but there are better places to frequent on a weekend night.
