A really nice french styled restaurant (or bar). Reminds me of a brasserie with good food, drinks and atmosphere. It's got a beer garden out front and back, a babyfoot (table football) and service is friendly. The food menu looks a little over elaborate (miso sauces and emulsions) however the chef does it justice and pulls off the flavours well. Steak frites is also available and a lovely generous portion is provided. It's relaxed and a lovely place for a meal. Cosy.

Always great to visit here. Not been for a while and the food menu has changed significantly. We had the burgers which were delicious. The cosy atmosphere in doors is perfect when the night gets a bit darker.

Yet another 5-star restaurant. This french inspired restaurant packed a punch, with its rich flavours and relaxed atmosphere with lovely staff. For my main I had the Stake-fritas with the mushroom sauce. For the steak I asked for medium-rare, it was on the rarer side, but I don't mind that. The mushroom sauce that came with it was a really nice touch and it was a pleasant surprise that the sauce wasn't as rich as the other sauces I had and didn't overpower the core flavours that the steak had to offer, the fries were good and seasoned well. We also had the Black lentil almond dahl with crispy tofu. This was presented well, but I didn't taste it, but they said it was incredible. We also had the fish (monk fish) again was presented well, but didn't taste, and yet again they said it was outstanding. Finally for the mains we had the Braised short rib, this was tender and was like butter in your mouth, and the aligote potatoes were done to perfection, with strong notes of garlic and cheese as there should be. For the desserts, we had a try of all the deserts put together, starting with the rice pudding with drunken fruit. This was warm and very comforting, it really made you feel like you were at home. The. The bruléed bananas with the ice cream and sauce really hit the sweet spot, the texture was perfect and was very satisfying. Finally we had the Chocolate Orange mousse which was very rich and smooth with perfect hits of orange. All of the meals were close to perfect and the atmosphere was amazing, with great music taste and the laid back vibes really makes you relax and enjoy the great food they serve there. The refined menu gave a classy edge to the place, and if you want brilliant authentic french food COME HERE.

Popped in for a quick bite at lunch time, nice selection of drinks, very limited food menu. Opted for the burger, which was an absolute surprise, basically it was wonderful. It may be small but it packs a punch, I could have eaten several. Not somewhere I'd go for an evening dinner, but for lunch , excellent.

I stumbled into man by frog by accident and what a wonderful accident it was! Lovely Liv with curly hair welcomed me in and served me the most delicious cold pint in all of Chorlton! Will be back! 100/10

Delicious jack fruit shawarma. Rosemary salted french fries were also divine. Definitely be returning
Brian Devlin
Great little bar. Definite focus on quality with better beers and wines than you’d expect for the price / location. Eclectic decor with a great Sopranos mural in the back. Very friendly staff. Sunday roasts are the best in Chorlton. Definitely recommend a potion of their chips to snack on.

A true gem of a place.
The staff are bloody lovely, knowledgeable and great at recommending dishes or drinks to compliment the food. It's a really relaxed place, the music is great and the food delicious. On the few times I've visited recently its felt cosy, welcoming and homely.
I would highly recommend.

The food is excellent, great drinks, lovely staff and the outdoor space at the back is perfect for an afternoon drink in the sun or shade.

We booked some tables outside the back for a party last weekend and we can’t say enough good things about this place. Dave was great, the staff were great and the service was flawless. Gorgeous atmosphere, accommodating, welcoming. 10/10

I can’t recommend this place enough! I came a couple of days back after It was suggested to me by a co worker for its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere and it didn’t disappoint! The staff were very friendly and engaging, in particularly a curly brown haired lass though I’ve forgotten her name (apologies!), I was informed that the Sundays roasts here are also a must try so I look forward to returning to try one with my other half.

Unique gaff. Food, drink, staff, vibe. Perfect.

Our Sunday roast was a long time arriving due to a "technical issue", but was very tasty, albeit a bit salty for the liking of my party. The outdoor seating was very relaxed and the staff very friendly and informal. Would possibly return again if they do have a greater menu choice during the week.

Just came in for a couple of drinks. Was cool vibes and a great interior. The two women who were working both really nice. Would come again

Superb, I don't give many 5 stars.
The food here is excellent from the main menu, to Sunday Roast, to a cheeky bowl of frogs legs. The flavours are fantastic in what is such an unassuming bar. Food prices somewhat reflect this, but you are buying quality. Decor is quirky without being kitsch, and there's a good atmosphere here.
The rear garden space is well decorated as a little bolt hole round the back and a surprising little addition.

A warm and welcoming atmosphere. I had the best meal I've had in a very long time. Service was 5 star and the food was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. Great wine. Definitely recommended. I will be taking family and friends here again.
Jason Fellowes
Great vibe in the place plus German beer and steak and frites for under £8,well worth paying a visit
Alan Salt
Great menu, fresh rustic food, looks beautiful as well as tasting amazing. Warm welcoming atmosphere with very friendly staff. The guy that runs the place couldn't be a nicer guy. I can't pick a fault with the place. Definitely returning (possibly in the evening for a few beers and good company). With so many places to choose from in chorlton, Man Bites Frog certainly stands out on its own..highly recommended if you haven't gathered that already :)
Jesse Geist
I visited here, and was having difficulty hearing my waitress. Bless her, she went and got a megaphone to take my order. Most restaurant don't care, but at Man Bites Frog they went the extra mile. Thanks guys, you are the best!!!

Absolutely love this place. It’s been my local for over a year (moved away, otherwise it’ll still would be) and each and every time again amazed by the quality of the service and the food. Hidden little gem, good stuff, good people, good vibe!
Brian Fletcher
Busted my shoulder this evening so need a stiff drink for the pain. The staff were very kind and gave me an electric massarger to help. Can't remember ever being treated as well �. muchas gracias

We had a lovely meal here, friendly staff, good food in a nice relaxed environment

The larger was flat, then the replacement whiskey and coke was also flat and I was going to be charged for it... I nearly bought my own Coke from the coop ! Going outs expensive and when you do,
you’d expect the drinks to be not flat :( I don’t think we’ll be going again
Yvonne Barry
Best Sunday lunch around.
Homemade horseradish capped it all off. Can't wait to go back. Everything was full of flavour from the red cabbage to the gratin. Perfect
Nancy Lyndhurst
Loved the name, the music and food - could have bought a few more steaks but I'd go back just for the baked camembert! Worth every penny
Will Reekie
Great food, friendly staff. This place is the business!
Wendy Bestie Jarvis
Amazing!! My brother held a small gathering here yesterday which I attended. The service was outstanding - after I was unknowingly and accidentally overcharged for a round of drinks (I would have been non the wiser but for the Bar girl’s honesty) I was then made aware and charged less for my next round. To top it all off, the Sea Bass Roast dinner that I ordered, requesting Yorkshire’s and gravy “like an actual Roast but with Fish” was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Thanks so much guys! I shall definitely be back!
Matthew Patrick Heffernan
Top Notch! Highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere and great food and drinks service was brilliant too. Thanks a lot
Chris Love
Our new favourite place. Food is delicious and authentic French cuisine with interesting little twists and there are regular new additions to the menu to keep us coming back. Always a warm welcome and a pleasant ambiance. Love it!

Just had a great night at MBF, dinner and comedy evening was brilliant. Both comedians where hilarious, I love Troy Hawke and can’t believe we have such an amazing event right on our doorstep!!! Where else can you get lovely home made food and top notch comedy, a 5minute walk from your front door on a Monday evening. Well done guys
Phillip Maxwell
Wow! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service...can't wait to eat my way through the menu. Bravo!
