Restaurants near John Rylands Library

One of the best meals out I’ve had in ages. Blacklock might be my new favourite Manchester restaurant. I loved everything about it - low key, unpretentious but such high-quality. Friendly staff, efficient service. It’s really excellent.

2nd visit love it so relaxing. Introduced my friend to this venue - think she will be back as she lived it too. Thanks to all the staff - great

Lovely atmosphere met all expectations and word on the street, great live music. Service was quick and efficient. Overall great experience will be recommending to family and friends to visit

Had the most outstanding experience at Hawksmoor. Me and my friend went as a late birthday treat us birthday and the staff were incredible our waitress went above and beyond to help us and make sure we had an amazing experience. This is the second time I have visited and service has withheld. The food was absolutely incredible and we are desperate to go back!

Fabulous evening. Food and wine were exceptional as was the service. From the moment we arrived to the end of our evening it was all outstanding. The venue is stunning. Thank you 🙏
