The Bull & Bear

An absolute standout restaurant and dining experience. There's no question in my mind that this is one of the best restaurants in Manchester. The decor was fantastic; from the theme to the artwork to all the little details. It was just a beautiful room, and it made the meal that much more memorable. The food was just ridiculously good. The fish there was the crispiest I'd ever had. So light, and the fish itself? Just melted. But beyond the food, the service? Stellar. From the moment we stepped in to the moment we stepped out, the attentiveness, manners, and genuine friendliness of all the staff made it a standout. To me, a restaurant can never be great if the staff are lacking, and the reception we got here cemented this establishment in my book as one of the very best. So kudos to all the staff there; they really are such an asset and I truly hope I get the opportunity to dine there again.

This was far better than expected. I'm not one for 'expensive' or 'pretentious' places. Expensive yes, pretentious no. Wonderfully presented food that tasted amazing, excellent and attentive (but not overbearing) service, and set in this incredible space - and all just tucked away behind Market Street. Of course I'd always prefer more vegetarian options, but what I had was really tasty.

Really nice place. The food was amazing. Well presented and very, very tasty. The staff were exceptional. Very friendly and engaging. Chatted without being intrusive and answered questions about the food very well. The food menu options were good However, some dishes were far out of our price range. They did offer a set menu which was very much worth the money, as well as a "Back to Work" menu which was only £15, contained only one option for each course, but still had great food. We only bought one drink, a mocktain, which cost £9 and, although nice, wasn't worth the money. However now we know about the pricing etc, we would return for a special occasion.

Beautiful place, complimented by the gorgeous food. Service was impeccable. Massive thanks to Roman for his attentive nature and whole friendly demeanour. Had a fabulous evening and would definitely recommend and will be revisiting in the future. 😁 Wish I had taken more photos of the food but I was too hungry 🤣
