Description

This welcoming bistro is located on Deansgate Mews, an elevated 'street' that’s part of the redeveloped Great Northern building in the city centre. The menu comprises an appealing array of sharing plates which champion produce from local, ethical growers. The eye-catching, vegetarian-led dishes are served one at a time and their flavours are punchy and pronounced. Craft beers and low-intervention wines accompany, while the nearby Holy Grain bakers provides them with some exceptional sourdough bread. Service is bubbly and the atmosphere is buzzing.

Review summary

Located on an upper floor of a Manchester mall, Another Hand offers an intimate, small-scale dining experience. Food quality is generally praised for its creativity and flavor, with highlights including beef tartare, scallops, and chocolate pudding. However, some guests found certain dishes like chicken plain or potatoes dry, indicating inconsistent execution. Service is typically warm and knowledgeable, though pacing can occasionally lag. The atmosphere is cozy and suitable for celebrations. While most reviews are positive, some diners feel the value does not match the cost, citing high prices relative to portion sizes or flavor impact. The location may be difficult to spot at night.
