We had their express lunch menu and the food was excellent! We had squid+whitebait and pork belly for starters. The squid and little fishes were perfectly fried, the batter was light and crispy on the outside and the squid and fish were fresh and soft on the inside.
I had expected the pork belly to be abiT fatty but it wasn’t at all. The pork belly was roasted to a perfect crisp and fat had completely melted off, leaving tasty crispy savoury bits. It was a delight to have it wrap-style in the fresh crisp lettuce coupled with the sweetness of the sweet thai chilli sauce.
We also had the steak which was done to our liking and the unctuous bone marrow sauce was a perfect match to the meat.
Service was quick and good, nothing more to want.
Definitely a good place for a quick business lunch or if you’re just wandering about, perfect for a nice chatty afternoon escape.

Enjoyed the visit with my friend yesterday and we enjoyed our visit there. Had the express lunch menu and it was great. Food was delicious and the service was attentive and friendly.

Pretty good experience overall with the express menu. Food nicely presented
Pork belly starter was quite chewy though.
Flat iron steak also a bit small, especially compared to the very generous portion of the Porter pie.
Service friendly and professional

Wow. What a fantastic meal. We all had very different tastes and made different choices from the menu. Without exception everything was hot, fresh and very tasty. The staff were knowledge and happy to recommend food or wine.

1st time visiting TNQ, we didn't book but we quickly realised we were lucky to get a table as it's very popular. As soon as we entered the restaurant we were warmly welcomed, the team were all very helpful and friendly. Service was very good and the food....well we both had a Pork Rissotto dish and WOW it was excellent, beautifully cooked and bursting with flavour...I would absolutely recommend it. As I said this is a popular restaurant and I can understand why. Superb and definitely would recommend.

Impressed by the Herb crusted fillet of cod. It's possibly the best dish I've tried in Manchester. Other dishes are also delicious.

Recently visited the restaurant on a Friday after work for dinner.
Parking was challenging but this always is in the Northern quarter, especially since they've blocked the streets off from cars.
Many great things to say about the place, its certainly fine dining with fantastic service.
They've got Camden Hells on draft with a perfect crips taste but only serviced in small glasses, no pints available.
Food presentation was impressive and everyone enjoyed their meals, the steak I found a bit chewy though for my liking and given the price in comparison with other high end restaurants I was expecting a more 'melt in your mouth' experience or would have given it 5/5.

We were recommended TNQ. We went for the express menu so we could make a gig.
Premium dining, not cheap, but great value for money.
Really pleased to have found a restaurant where it delivers a thoroughly classy dining experience.
So many restaurants I've been to recently charge the earth yet let you down in one way or another.
TNQ has re-instilled my faith in dining out. Will be bringing friends in a couple of weeks.

One of my fav in Manchester! There’s a period of time that I went back every week.
! The fish stew was absolutely amazing! Sea bass very flavorful! Octopus so tender! Nothing on the menu disappointed me! The service is also very nice. Will definitely go back!

This was our second visit to TNQ and not sure why we've left it so long to return. Food was very good, I had the breast of lamb and pork chop, with a special mention going to the sticky toffee pudding, it was delicious.

Went here for the Sunday lunch and was not disappointed! It's as good as it looks in the pictures. Staff were friendly and the service was great but above all the food itself was superb. Had the fried pork belly bites and terrine to start and the beef and trio of meats for main, all absolutely beautiful and wouldn't hesitate to recommend going. We left a shopping bag in the restaurant, which they ran down the street to give us!

The restaurant is lovely with a nice ambience, you can see the chefs cooking from wherever you sit. The tables and table settings are nice and you can look out to the Northern Quarter from the large windows.
The service is very good and quick, the Bloody Mary is absolutely delicious. The olives were amazing, good portion and a variety of three olives; black, green and Manzanilla. The roast dinner was nice but not 10/10. The beef was fatty and a bit hard to chew but the roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and sweet potato mash were delicious. The house white wine is also really tasty, light. The lemon meringue pie dessert was also delicious.
The restaurant is on a corner in the Northern Quarter, great central location.
I like this restaurant, I will definitely go back.

Best roast in Manchester by far. Go here regularly and it's consistently amazing.

So, so good! Great service from friendly staff, decent prices, the food was amazing and the breakfast martinis are an absolute must. Will be returning. Would thoroughly recommend!

We went for the Express Menu 2-course at £17.95 on a Saturday. We booked a table at 4pm. Everything was excellent. Attentive and friendly staff, busy atmosphere, and generous portion dishes at reasonable price. For starters, we had Ham Hock & Chicken Terrine (with crackling, croutons, chutney) and Salt & Pepper Squid and Whitebait (with squid ink mayonnaise). Both were decent. For mains, we had Homemade Beef Burger and Lamb Kofta Flatbread. The beef patty in the burger was a bit dry and it fell apart. We think it's because they've used lean meat and there wasn't enough fat to make it juicy and hold it together. Otherwise, both were equally good.
Highly recommended.

Attended on 07/12/22.
We were waited on by Ali, who was incredibly helpful, polite and quick with our orders and was very informative about wine pairings. Despite a large group taking up the majority of the restaurant (maybe a Christmas do we thought), we still had incredible service from Ali and the entire staff alike.
As for the food, I don't think I have ever eaten a meal as delicious as this in my entire life. I ordered the Venison Carpaccio as a starter and the Fish Stew for my main (as pictured), and both of them were cooked to absolute perfection. I cannot wait to attend again!

Excellent relaxed restaurant in the northern quarter. A hidden gem uncovered for me by a friend. Well worth heading to. Will be going again! Service was as good as the food. Pea soup fish & chips & a lemon meringue.
