Whether you're at their New York Street, Media City or Spinningfields venue, you can enjoy a romantic meal at The Alchemist. These stunning spots specialise in theatrical cocktails, serving drinks that come smoking, bubbling or even changing colour.

Their Sunday Feast menu is ideal for couples, designed to share between two. For £20 per person, you can tuck into the likes of pork belly bites, loaded truffle tater tots and buttermilk fried chicken.

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.

Climat Manchester

Looking to really impress your other half on your next date night? Then head to Climat Manchester, located on the eighth floor of Blackfriars House in Salford. They've got sleek, natural decor and lots of foliage throughout the restaurant, as well as a spacious outdoor terrace.

This rooftop spot looks out over the city, promising some of the best views around. Share tasty plates like beef tartare, skate in brown butter and Jersey royals with seaweed butter, washed down with one of their many premium wines.

Fenix Manchester

For a romantic evening out in Manchester, Fenix offers a captivating setting and a menu that will tantalise the tastebuds. Located in the city's St John's district, this Greek-Mediterranean restaurant combines immersive interiors with an intimate atmosphere.

The entrance leads into The Nest, a moodily lit bar with textured stone walls, perfect for sipping cocktails before dinner. Upstairs, the Aegean-inspired dining space, with its elegant travertine tables and feathered bronze chandeliers, creates an enchanting setting for a memorable date night. With dishes like slow-roasted lamb shank and creative cocktails inspired by Greek mythology, Fenix is the ideal spot for a romantic meal in Manchester.

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.
