Avoid.

Avoid, unless you like standing in sick surrounded by drunken white primates.

Grotty bar that needs refurb. Staff in a symptomless coma. Beluga? - name says it all. Belsen would be more apt.

The prayer room in the Arndale is the best place to hang out in Manchester.I was saw Bez in there trying to take his trousers off above his head, whilst claiming he could eat sodium. Right On.

Contrived overpriced Guff. If you like food that has been vac packed on a Dresden Industrial estate and lovingly imported to Manchester then this is the place for you. Only thing I could find worth buying was cheese from Kirkhams, besides that I am so bored of Manchester Markets plc thin attempts to introduce 'artisan' produce to Mancunians, who generally much prefer Aldi.

Moo Quack Woof. Went here for the first time after reading various reviews. Decor is a bit OTT, staff were friendly and helpful. We were offered only a Christmas menu fixed 3 course for £40 per head. One vegetarian option on the starter and main. I had sprout soup which was tasty but a bit rich, we both had butternut squash and hosts cheese for main which was very nice. How come the vegetarian choice was the same price as a big piece of dead animal? Deserts Eton mess and cheese plate were good but nothing new. There was a singer wandering about crooning old Frank Sinatra type songs which was a bit loud and I was very tempted after his rendition of 'Fly Me To The Moon' to squeeze his knackers really hard and ask him to sing 'Walking In The Air' as it was the festive season after all. We would go back here but not for the set Christmas menu, maybe for their lunch menu. Bottle of Sancerre was soft and fruity. £40 for 3 courses here is too much money £20 main and £10 for desert and £10 for starter???!!! the bill came to £120 with wine and water and we felt it should have been £80. Ditch the singer as piped music of this genre works just as well and was an indulgent distraction that was a bit annoying. Not sure about the black velvet tablecloths either felt like I'd had a goth sat on my knee all night. At this price you are nearly competing with Abode which is streets ahead. Ditch the camp theatre and charge less for vegetarians! Amen.

Sorry I found the food in this Manchester institution really bland. I like the idea but Kabana a few streets away for me is much tastier and similar price point.
