The Riverside Restaurant is one of Manchester’s top dining destinations offering a menu full of exquisite British classics with a modern touch

Set in one of Manchester’s most fashionable hotels-The Lowry- is The River Restaurant, a spectacularly modern eatery showcasing some of the finest classic British menus in the city. Like all Rocco Forte establishments, The Lowry Hotel is an exceptional venue and The Riverside Restaurant is one of Manchester’s leading dining destinations. Top interior designers Olga Polizzi and David Collins have created an impressive setting combining a modern and classic design that allows light to flood in, and takes full advantage of the striking views of the River Irwell. Executive Head Chef Oliver Thomas is the mastermind behind The River Restaurant’s classic British menu, taking inspiration from local producers to produce delights such as Aberdeenshire hangar steak with baked bone marrow, roasted fillet of cod with steamed cockles and mussels and Calf’s liver with Manchester Smokehouse bacon. Vegetarians have their own special menu with dishes like purple sprouting broccoli and stilton tart and children are well catered for too. For a restaurant of such high standing and reputation, The Riverside Restaurant is surprisingly affordable and not one bit pretentious. It’s no wonder that its top of the list as far as Manchester is concerned.
