It’s been a while since I ate at Jamie’s Italian, but after seeing it featured in an article on Manchester’s most beautiful chain restaurants, I was feeling eager to return. It certainly is a gorgeous interior – the grade II listed building is actually an old bank and the restaurant has kept plenty of the … Continue reading Jamie’s Italian, Manchester
Manchester's Mad Men-inspired bar The Pen and Pencil has a new evening menu, and last week I went along to check it out. I've never actually been before, but I've heard a lot about this place and as soon as I walked in I could see why it has become so popular.

From the moment you enter through the glossy black and gold Art Deco door and the uniformed … Continue reading Hotel Gotham Restaurant Review

Albert's Worsley is the third Albert's restaurant to open in Manchester and is located … Continue reading Albert’s Restaurant and Bar
I've had more than my fair share of outings into Manchester this week, as it was both my birthday and my last week at my job. I took the opportunity to try some places I've never been before, and thought I'd share my experiences... Me and my sister enjoyed Thai food and Prosecco at Chaophraya, a … Continue reading Thai food and cocktails
