Modern Chinese restaurant Manchester
The "Tattu Manchester" in Manchester is an extraordinary restaurant known for its modern interpretation of Chinese cuisine and its stunning design. Since its opening in 2014, it has established itself as one of the city's leading culinary destinations, located in the bustling Spinningfields district. It is the first restaurant of the Tattu chain, which is now also present in other British cities like London, Leeds, and Edinburgh, and was founded by brothers Adam and Drew Jones. The concept combines traditional Asian flavors with contemporary cooking methods and a touch of Western influences, providing guests with a unique tasting experience.
Best Asian cuisine Manchester
The atmosphere at "Tattu Manchester" is as impressive as the cuisine. The interior is inspired by the art of tattooing, featuring a giant cherry blossom tree as a central element, symbolizing luck and life, and creating an almost magical ambiance. The restaurant spans two levels: the main area on the first floor offers intimate seating and an open kitchen, while the lower level houses the Anchor Bar – a nautically themed space with dark wood tones and a pirate charm, perfect for cocktails. The decor is luxurious yet understated, striking a balance between elegance and coziness that suits both special occasions and relaxed evenings.
Luxury dining experience Manchester
Culinarily, "Tattu Manchester" stands out with its creative dishes. A highlight is the Caramel Soy Aged Beef Fillet, a tender beef fillet enhanced with a sweet and spicy soy sauce that melts in the mouth. Also popular is the Wok Fired Angry Bird, a spicy chicken dish that impresses with its intense flavor and crunchy texture. Seafood lovers will enjoy the Szechuan Sea Bass, a sea bass prepared with a fiery Szechuan sauce, offering a perfect harmony of spiciness and freshness. Dim Sum like the Duck Bon Bons – small, crispy dough balls filled with duck – make a delicious appetizer that combines traditional techniques with modern flair. For dessert, the Cherry Blossom dessert creation, with its delicate presentation and fruity notes, provides a sweet conclusion.
Enjoy cocktails in Manchester
The drink menu is another highlight. The Anchor Bar offers an impressive selection of cocktails, often served with theatrical elements, such as the Skull Candy, a drink with cotton candy and fruity notes that impresses both in taste and appearance. The wine selection is carefully curated to perfectly complement the dishes, while local beers and non-alcoholic options round out the offerings. The Afternoon Tea with an Asian twist is particularly appreciated, presenting an elegant alternative to the classic British version.
Creative dishes in restaurant
Service at "Tattu Manchester" is frequently praised for its professionalism and warmth. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, assisting guests in selecting dishes or drinks and making the experience more personal. However, during peak times, it can become a bit hectic, and the noise level occasionally rises, which may be bothersome for some guests. Nevertheless, the overall impression remains positive, and the restaurant is also known for its flexibility – for instance, the option to host private events in the exclusive Parlour area, which comes with its own entrance and bar.
Of course, there are minor criticisms. Some visitors notice that the portions can be a bit small relative to the quality, and the restaurant's popularity often leads to full tables, so reservations are recommended. However, these aspects hardly detract from the overall experience. "Tattu Manchester" is a place that captivates not only with its food but also with its multisensory experience – from the visual splendor to the complex flavors.
