Whether you want to cosy up in a glamorous dining room, a rooftop restaurant, or a more intimate setting - check out our guide to the best date night restaurants in Manchester.
Manchester may not have the same romantic reputation as Paris, but it’s home to some seriously dreamy eateries.
To help you impress that special someone in your life, we’ve selected some of the most romantic restaurants across the city. And if none of these take your fancy, there’s always a chippy tea (with Manchester caviar) while you stroll along the canal.
Table for two? Coming right up…
This award-winning tapas restaurant is spread across a three-storey townhouse. Casual dining on the ground floor, theatrical open-kitchen restaurant above it, and a rooftop terrace (complete with retractable roof) up top. Serving seasonally-inspired, traditional Spanish dishes, the menu ensures cured meats, cheese and fish take centre stage. Comfy, intimate and full of Spanish charm, where better to take your favourite person on your next date night?
Take your romantic dinner to new levels at 20 Stories. With panoramic views of the city, as far as dining experiences go, it’s hard to beat. Serving modern British cuisine, the menu doesn’t shy away from the finer things in life. Whole lobster, fillet steak, Dom Perignon, you’re guaranteed a date night to impress. And the décor is just as high end – sleek, luxurious and modern, it’s the perfect way to spoil your loved one.
Want to add a bit of spice to your date nights? Dishoom serves up authentic Indian food that will entrance veggies, vegans and meat-eaters alike. Inspired by the Irani cafés of then-Bombay, the menu tantalises with traditional Parsi and Southern Mumbai appetisers, street food, and comfort food. And when you’ve eaten your fill, you can step inside the Permit Room for a quick tipple. All this inside Manchester Hall, a 1920s Grade II listed building, makes it one of the city’s hidden gems.
Tattu, Hardman Square, Gartside Street
Previously ranked one of the most romantic places to eat in Europe, Tattu is a big hit with couples. This chic restaurant, in the heart of the city, offers a delicious Asian-fusion menu. But it’s not just the food that keeps lovebirds coming back. The ornate interior comes complete with low lighting and even features a cherry blossom tree (symbolising good luck and life). This elegant restaurant will take you on a sensory journey from East to West – and give you picture-perfect Insta moments, too. Just make sure you’re dressed to kill!
No one knows more about romance than the French (although the Italians might argue otherwise). 63 Degrees brings a little corner of Paris to the Northern Quarter. This family-owned restaurant serves up classic modern French fare with a focus on traditional cooking methods and regional flavours with a twist. Chic and sophisticated, it has a relaxed vibe and a rather seductive cocktail list. The signature chicken dish is slow-cooked at 63°, in case you were wondering about the name.
Whether you’re thinking of a swanky restaurant or a low-key dining vibe, make sure your outfit is on point. Up your date night game, and shop our range of dresses.
