Review of Lime Tree
11 Nov 07, 18:46
Popular eatery. No wonder! 
The Lime Tree is situated in the trendy area of Didsbury a few miles outside of Manchester City centre. This area has become extremely popular with all ages for its food and drink scene. The place is always busy and to avoid disappointment, I recommend that you book well in advance. I'm always interested in seeing the menu here because it is ever changing and tends to reflect the seasons. Old favourites remain though like posh fish and chips (salmon cooked in beer batter and fat chips) and the Bury black pudding. Some people I know have said that though they always enjoy the food here, they found the service a little brusque. Personally I don't agree. The place is buzzing, conversations are loud and the waiting staff, often rushed off their feet sometimes have to shout to make themselves heard. The atmosphere, despite the crowds is easy going and thankfully for such a popular place the tables are well spaced.

Review of Restaurant Bar & Grill
11 Nov 07, 18:36
Best food in Manchester!
The Bar and Grill is in the centre of Manchester and is spread over two floors. The bar area is on ground floor, whilst the restaurant and grill are on the upper. If you can get a window seat, even better as it is a great place to people watch. The restaurant has always been known for attracting Manchester's footballers and actors too, as it isn't far from Granada studios. The food is always delicious. The favourite starter for me is the mezze plate which is great to share. This consists of olives, humous, falafel, tzatztzi, tabbouleh and marinated feta cheese. At £7.95 it is great value. For main dishes, the linguine with king prawns, coriander, ginger and chilli is my favourite. Just a hint of chilli gives this dish a wonderful kick without overpowering the taste of the prawns. This will set you back £9.50. Other main dishes worth a mention include seabass, tandoori baked with mint yoghurt, chargrilled tuna with Catalan peppers and romesco sauce, steak pudding with stout and onion gravy and for those who like simple - fillet steak, 8oz simply grilled. All average around the £13 mark. There's a good varied selection of wines, with about 25 different bottles to choose from. Starting at around £12.00 per bottle. The waiters are extremely friendly and chatty which adds to the buzz of the place. They are nearly all foreign and of various nationalities which means we have some interesting conversations. Service is prompt unless you dine around peak time on a Friday and Saturday evening when you may have to be a little patient. But it's worth the wait!
