Seafood Restaurants in Manchester

Despite its lacklustre atmosphere, Harry Ramsden’s serves up a variety of traditional meals, with the most notable being its renowned fish and chips. A cheap and cheery restaurant, this is a family favourite, and as a result is known to get quite busy at peak times. The staff are attentive, even during these busy periods and do their utmost to ensure you are enjoying your dining experience. The restaurant decoration isn’t really that noteworthy – generic restaurant art work and glaring bulbs hang from the ceiling, although when your cod and chips arrives on the table, there’s not much chance of you noticing it

A Manchester institution, Sinclair’s Oyster Bar has been around since the time of the industrial revolution. As a result, it’s a charming bar and restaurant – low wooden beams and a wonderful sixteenth century décor give this restaurant real character. Specialising in a large and varied selection of seafood, Sinclair’s Oyster Bar is a venue for all occasions. Often crammed, you’ll need to fight your way to the bar to order your food and for your efforts you’ll be rewarded with a wooden spoon to place on your table. Ye Olde English down to its very core, Sinclair’s valiant attempts to cling onto its historical roots has firmly placed it on our top restaurant list. A restaurant with real character in a city convoluted with chrome and mezzanine contemporaries.

This long running Sushi chain offers a genuine Japanese dining experience from the inside of the Selfridges building. Placed on a revolving conveyor belt, freshly prepared dishes are temptingly passed under your nose, and you simply pick and choose you preferred dish of choice. With over 100 varieties to choose from, each with its own distinct taste and preparation style, this is a novel little restaurant and a genuinely interesting experience for those of you more accustomed to doting waiters. Your choice of meal isn’t just restricted to Sushi though and a range of meat dishes are available - we recommend the salmon teriyaki for sheer taste and value for money. The pleasant ambiance and the gentle whirring of the conveyor belt creates a relaxed atmosphere to dine in and you can’t help but wish that more restaurants were this laidback.
