The Modern, Manchester

[chef]

It's the restaurant that occupies what was Le Mont on the top of Urbis.

Has anyone been? would you recommend it?

I'm looking for a nice posh/expensive restaurant to take g'friend Chef to before I go away. (I figure it might reduce the sulking a bit and make for an easier week)

I've called Juniper, Altrincham and they're fully booked all next week.

Any other ideas welcome and before you suggest it, no, "ditch the girlfriend" isn't an option.

Heathcotes. Need I say more?

What kind of food would be youer kind of thing?

If you fancy wondering out to Prestbury, check out the Prestbury Village Restuarant.

walked past Simply Heathcotes on saturday, it was having the interior ripped out and definately didnt look like it was going to be open anytime soon.

I was after unsual modern food, i.e Michelin star, 12 courses in the tasting menu, small portions, foam, rissotto soup in a shot glass style food.. poncy but impressive if your taking the missus.

Tell her that if she's ever lonely there's this great internet forum where she would get plenty of attention...

A more serious suggestion might be to get some decent webcams and set her one up at her end so you can chat via msn or wot not. Will also save a fortune on phone calls too.

Good luck with breaking the news!

"All change in Manchester!

Following on from the successful launch of Grado in Manchester late last year, further ambitious plans are underway for a new £1m+ fine dining restaurant in Manchester city centre.

“The Elliot” Paul Heathcote will open in October and will replace the existing Simply Heathcotes restaurant in Jackson Row.

Simply Heathcotes, which is currently upstairs in Jackson Row, will close on March 9 when a celebration will be held for diners to mark this important milestone in Paul Heathcote's dining history."

she knows about you lot already from when I've laughed out loud while she's been watching corrie, thinks Wilmslow's life is a disaster and HRH is an idiot.

Chef - I don't think that one in Urbis is that good - it got quite poor reviews - have a look on Manchester Confidential - usually has good reviews and stuff.
