Its superb food earned it a hard-won place in the 2019 Harden’s Best Restaurant Guide, as well as in Manchester Confidential’s ‘Top 100 Restaurants in the North West’ and the I Love Manchester ‘Top 50 Restaurants’.
This destination restaurant, located in the historic Great Northern warehouse, nestles beneath vaulted brick ceilings on a mezzanine within Manchester235 Casino. Striking design marries industrial features with opulent vintage fabrics and artwork for an elegant urban feel.
Imaginative original dishes feature seasonal ingredients from some of the UK’s top meat, game, fish and cheese producers.
Combine the fabulous food with outstanding service and the sophisticated adults-only atmosphere and you have a recipe for a truly memorable meal out.
SHOWCASING THE BEST OF BRITISH FOOD
James Martin Manchester is open for dinner Wednesday to Saturday from 5pm. There is an astonishingly affordable tasting menu – with a vegetarian version of course - and a Chef’s Table for lavish seven-course private dining designed to impress.
Menus change frequently but the Cumbrian rib of beef to share, with malt-glazed wagyu ox cheek and beef ragu, is an enduring favourite. And the halibut with artichoke and ale purée always wows non-meat eaters.
The restaurant also serves the best Sunday lunch in town, and an exquisite spread for traditional afternoon tea on Saturdays.

"I rarely leave reviews but feel like James Martin deserves it. My husband and I booked a meal for tonight (having never been before) and we had an amazing evening. It was their reopening night and we were greeted in the casino entrance by a Manchester235 staff member. My husband accidentally left his face mask in the car so the gentleman gave him a disposable one and advised they must be worn throughout the venue. He then gave us hand sanitiser, took our temperatures and directed us to the James Martin desk.

There were two James Martin staff members at the desk and they took our details for track and trace, offered more hand sanitiser and offered to take our coats. They then directed us where to go next.
The food was outstanding, everywhere was really clean, we felt really comfortable throughout the evening and the staff were amazing. Massive shout out to our waitress! Definitely recommend."
"Had a 3-course Sunday lunch for £30 at James Martin's and food and service were excellent as always. And good social distancing and covid procedures were all in place it was a safe and enjoyable lunch"

"Our 3rd visit to this marvellous restaurant. Obviously slightly different due to Covid restrictions but did not impact on the experience and they made sure we felt safe. The staff were wonderful from start to finish and very attentive. As to the meal, it was faultless. Not a bad word to say. I absolutely love the relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend a visit. We will definitely be back for more."
