Another hand

Great dinner for a celebration, lovely helpful staff and good quality food.

Good service; all the servers are friendly attentive and knowledgeable. The dishes are wonderful, fish tartar and the tuna fresh and tasty, The trout with the sauce is amazing, The potato just like the croissant that I like it so much. It is suprise me that the main chicken and the beef are fantastic 😋. It is the right choice for my daughter's graduation. BTW all the sauce and dressing are prefect match the dishes, I will going back when I am in Manchester.

This mini restaurant feels like a special hidden gem, lively, intimate and exciting. Dishes feeling creative and experimental. The food is carefully crafted although sometimes tastes are not quite balanced. My wife and I went for our wedding anniversary and she is gluten free and could not have raw fish as she is pregnant. This is a challenge for any kitchen. The experience was fun with some of the dishes ordered featured really interesting combinations memorable dishes for us being the trout and the pork. Unfortunately the balance of tastes was occasionally off. Bitter notes were sometimes used very well but at times overpowered, we both ordered a radicchio dish which neither of us could finish just too bitter. Turn around of dishes was occasionally slow, our first dish arrived 50 minutes after ordering but after that seemed to flow smoothly. Overall I probably wouldn't return in a hurry as I would want the food to be more consistent for this price. I will say the service was very good, friendly and attentive. Our water glasses were never empty with waitresses silently gliding past to check-in and top up throughout. There were several dishes that were excellent so this restaurant is worth keeping an eye on.

We had a great evening. All the food was SO delicious and beautifully presented. It exceeded our expectations. Lovely atmosphere and impeccable service. We will return! Thank you.

An incredible meal where the head chef delivered dishes & was so generous with his knowledge & time. He even gave us a tip on how to get the scallops as delicious as they do cooking at home. The best food we’ve had on our trip, high end delicious food without being pretentious. The sea bream tartare was incredible. And mushroom with roast onion tea 👌

The food was mind blowing and each mouthful was an explosion of flavours… the service was top notch, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Such a fantastic place to celebrate a special occasion or as a treat to oneself!! 🤗

Came here for a birthday with 5 friends and the staff were so accommodating . 5 star food and drinks too.

Best meal we’ve had in over a year. Delicious, creative food that was beautiful without trying too hard. Still thinking about the mushrooms and the radicchio today. Only thing that would have made it perfect would be 1-2 more big shade umbrellas!

This is a bit of a late review, as we visited in April 2026 to celebrate my birthday, but this restaurant has stayed in my mind ever since. From the warm hospitality and attentive service to the incredible food and thoughtful attention to detail, every part of the experience felt special. It’s one of those places that exceeds your expectations in every way. If I ever find myself in Manchester again, this will definitely be one of my first stops. Thank you once again for such a memorable experience!

After wandering around for a while, with both Apple and Google Maps doing their best to hide it from us (get what 3 words on your website 😂), we finally found Another Hand… and what a find it turned out to be. Before I even mention the food, I have to talk about the staff. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the service was genuinely exceptional. Friendly, relaxed, knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what they do. Every member of the team knew the menu and wine list inside out, and when each dish arrived, they explained it with such enthusiasm that you couldn’t help but get excited about what was in front of you. It never felt scripted—it felt like they truly believed in every plate leaving the kitchen. We were lucky enough to sit outside, with a live band from a neighbouring bar providing the soundtrack to the evening. It created the perfect atmosphere. The sharing-style menu is exactly how I love to eat. We ordered a selection of dishes and honestly, every single one deserved its place on the table. There wasn’t a weak link. The Wild Thing is an absolute must-order. The scallops were little bundles of joy from the sea—cooked beautifully and packed with flavour. And then there was the chicken… wow. Quite possibly one of the best chicken dishes I’ve ever eaten. I don’t want to spoil too much because discovering these dishes for yourself is part of the experience. A huge thank you to everyone at Another Hand for looking after us so well. Your passion for what you do shines through in every conversation, every recommendation and every plate that leaves the kitchen. If you’re visiting Manchester and enjoy incredible food, outstanding service and a relaxed atmosphere, put Another Hand at the very top of your list. It’s an absolute gem, and we’ll definitely be back.

A fantastic place , ate there yesterday evening and have just woken up after a great nights sleep and already, I’m thinking of when I can go back to this restaurant .Amazing food, great drinks and brilliant hosts, thank you sooo much, and see you real soon .

I've been here three times since May just because I love their two mushrooms dishes so much! All the other dishes are very good too including the trout and the rye chocolate cake dessert. I think this has easily become one of my fave restaurants in Manchester, if not my favourite! Love it!
