Brasserie On Portland

Just a couple of miles away from Piccadilly Gardens, this place is a soothingly relaxing place to either enjoy a delicious lunch with your friends or a wonderful fancy dinner with someone special. Both ways the soothing modern jazz and soul music makes the experience much more special than it is.
Good quality local produce is carefully prepared by Head Chef Dominic Scott to create some memorable dishes that are balanced perfectly by an international wine list of repute. The starters, mains and especially the desserts are just amazing! Mouth-​watering and carefully prepared, making your experience worthwhile. They have a set menu which is very reasonable at £14.95 for a 3 course meal.
It’s a good after work lounge as well and you can be sure to soothe you sense after a dinner here.

Ah, I do not believe I have yet reviewed any cuisine Français for Unilocal!Well, let me change that and tell you about the Brasserie on Portland, part of Princess on Portland hotel, part of the Best Western chain.
The restaurant benefits from being just moments away from many of the city’s theatres making it the perfect place to come for dinner before a show, especially since there’s the option of staying the night. As a result they have a pre-​theatre set menu (£14.95) which doesn’t offer a huge amount of choice but is ideal for food decision procrastinators like myself. You can use Hi-​Life dining cards in here which make the price a little less scary, and it’s a popular spot, which might be annoying to hotel-​dwellers who want to eat downstairs as interlopers can come in for breakfast, lunch and dinner — all ingredients sourced locally.
Depending on what time you come in it’ll either be bustling or have a distinct lack of atmosphere, so it’s pretty hit and miss but you can always be sure that the service is lovely. It lends itself well to business lunches and there’s a great lounge bar for unwinding.

The Brasserie on Portland is located in the Princess on Portland Hotel (now there’s a tongue twister for you) on you guessed it, Portland Street. It’s not ordinarily a restaurant you’d think about going to but I heard that the food was excellent and that on the weekends it’s a great spot as it doesn’t get overcrowded.
I like the grandeur of the old cotton warehouse that this hotel is located at, and despite being part of the Best Western chain it has maintained charm and elegance. The restaurant itself is very understated and stylish and the well trained staff are very amenable and accommodating indeed.
The set menu for £14.95 is worthwhile investment in my opinion with simple classics or soups, salads, salmon and even wild boar being made to a very high standard. There could be more atmosphere in here but the service and the relaxing environment certainly make up for it.

A great Hotel located in the thick of it all.
Currently undergoing a multi million pound refurb, Staff are excellent especially the night team of Jim and Nick, you want to go to the best places, ask them!

Can be noisy due to its location but that isnt really an issue, as you go here to be in the centre of Manchester and enjoy all the city has to offer.

Brasserie on Portland is situated on Portland St Manchester. Myself and my partner went to the Basserie on Portland on a Monday evening, there were only two other tables taken so not much atmosphere. The service was brilliant we were really looked after, I can truely say my main meal was the best I have ever had, we were very impressed. We will certainly be going back soon.

Recently stayed here on a business function. The conference facilities are very impressive– endless amount of refreshments and a nice lunch and dinner provided. The staff are friendly, the rooms big and spacious but a little outdated. However the biggest problem is the noise– its like the hotel doesn‘t have any sound proofing whatsoever and there is a club opposite so you may want to re-​think. It’s a shame because overall the hotel is very good.

I have stopped off here for a drink before going out to Live Bait and I was well impressed by the stylish bar area and drinks menu. Its a lovely place to meet friends before a night out or even to spend an evening but I havent sampled the food Yet !
Its definitely got character and the décor is imposing and impressive. Lovely tiling on the exterior.

This hotel is handy for central manchester the rooms where clean and tidy and the staff friendly and pleasant. A former silk warehouse this place has a feel of character missing in so many of the modern newer hotels today has to offer. We did find the noise from outside penetrated the rooms but when you are in central Manchester this can only be expected.

Delicious food.
Always have great offers, but the food is great value anyway and I’ve never had any problems. Great staff too!
