MUSU

From a seven or 11-course Kaiseki menu of seasonal dishes to a Sentaku menu allowing diners to build their own tasting menu, there's something for everyone at MUSU. At this swanky Spinningfields haunt, you'll be surrounded by an air of sophistication and elegance that's sure to make your date's heart flutter.

Peru Perdu

On the hunt for a Latin American feast to share with your beau? Peru Perdu is the place to be. This Whitworth Locke hotspot boasts beautifully bright pink interiors, large windows, and tons of blooming foliage. Munch on steaming steaks, ceviche, whole lobsters, and more as you wash it all down with Argentinian or Uruguayan wine.

Mana

Mana is undoubtedly our top pick of romantic restaurants for fine dining in Manchester, given that it's the only Michelin star spot. There's swooning by the bucket load thanks to beautiful interiors, but it's also got some pretty sexy plates to boot, with a focus on seasonal British produce from chef founder Simon Martin.

El Gato Negro

Hailed as super sophisticated tapas bar, including a mention in the Michelin Guide, this is the place to go when you want to spoil your date with something special. From unique dishes that roam the regions of Spain to cocktails and a rooftop bar, it's one beaut dinner destination.

Tast Catala

If you're looking for a taste of romance, Tast Catala is the place to be. With Michelin-starred chef Paco Perez in the kitchen dishing out goodies like braised chicken cannelloni, you're in for a real treat at this King Street gem. It's a stunner, too, with three separate floors, including an eating area, bar, and a private dining room.

Elnecot

A neighbourhood bar and kitchen in Ancoats, Elnecot is ideal if you're after something a little low-key for a romantic meal. Ditching the extravagance in favour of stripped-back interiors, striking lighting and an open kitchen, this spot will seduce with its enticing small plates.
