Gusto Italian - Manchester

Celebrate Mother's Day with a bottle of Whispering Angel Rosé on your table for arrival for £58 and 1 other offer

If only Italian restaurants in Deansgate Manchester will hit the spot, then Gusto is our top pick. Head in for opulent interiors of green leather, gold accents and a shining central bar, with a gorgeous menu of classics to boot. Think crab fettucine, three-meat lasagne, vegan nduja-topped sourdough pizzas and so much more, with set menus and tasty brunches up for grabs as well.

Federal, Deansgate

Serving up Antipodean fare from day to night, Federal's Deansgate venue is the second site of the popular brunch restaurant. Expect all sorts of eggs through the day, with banana bread, French toast and pineapple porridge to satisfy your sweet breakfast cravings.

Another Hand

Tucked away on Deansgate Mews, Another Hand is a hidden gem in Manchester's bustling Deansgate area. This cosy, 24-seat bistro boasts a warm, minimalist design with natural wood tones and soft lighting, creating a relaxed yet refined vibe.

The open kitchen showcases chef-owners Max Yorke and Julian Pizer's passion for vegetable-led, seasonal small plates crafted from local, ethically sourced ingredients. Ideal for sharing, the menu pairs perfectly with craft beers and low-intervention wines, making Another Hand a must-visit for anyone looking for a modern, sustainable dining experience on Deansgate.

Blacklock Manchester

Housed in a Grade II-listed former textile warehouse below Peter Street, Blacklock is a top spot for steak lovers. This underground chophouse is filled with exposed brick walls, comfy booth seating and glowing candles, making it a perfect choice for date night.

They specialise in charcoal-grilled meats prepared over vintage iron grills, from pork rib-eye to sharing Porterhouse steaks and lamb rump. Enjoy beef dripping chips or a spring slaw on the side, washed down with premium wines or cocktails.

Flat Iron Manchester

A must for steak lovers, Flat Iron is one of Deansgate's most affordable dining destinations. They serve their signature flat iron steak for just £15, paired with scrumptious sides like truffled macaroni cheese or crispy bone marrow garlic mash, as well as a list of cocktails for just £9 each.

The venue itself is equally enticing: a stunning, two-storey Grade II-listed building. Expect industrial-style interiors, complete with original parquet flooring and glazed brick walls - ideal for date night or groups of friends.

Tampopo

Tampopo is home to some seriously stunning Asian dishes, from Singaporean Vermicelli noodles to katsu curry or pad Thai. And if you're in need of Deansgate restaurants with halal options, they've got plenty of those as well, alongside veggie and vegan treats.

Platzki

One of the most popular places for Polish food, Platzki is a chilled out space dedicated to the humble potato pancake. You won't be able to plan ahead with the menu, as dishes change twice a week, focusing on a fine dining experience come the weekend. Twoje zdrowie.
