Reviews of The Brasserie at Harvey Nichols Manchester

Lovely place with wonderful theme and staff. Enjoyed breakfast and will certainly try dinner soon.
N. B.
Reading the other recent reviews here, I can understand the general comments. We waited about 20 minutes for our drinks, but nothing else went wrong at all. The food we ate was first class, we all finished the lot!
We were served by a man with glasses called Will. He literally didn't stop in the 2 hours we were there. He was so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. He clearly understands his job role. Unfortunately the other staff members didn't seem as switched on. In my opinion of course.
So for Will's first class service, as well as the exceptional food, 5 stars. We just hope it isn't Will's day off when we return!

Fancy something fancy in the heart of Manchester, Harvey Nichols is the place for you
It’s so hard walking through the store to get to the restaurant, but when you’re ready for some good food who cares about the shopping (though hard to resist when walking out). The second floor is where you find the Bar & Brasserie and it smells amazing. It’s one of those restaurants that smell fancy kinda like Tom Ford’s Italian Cypress, so we were loving the smell. Our meal here was genuinely a great experience and felt like we were looked after with some amazing staff.
Our meal consisted of;
Olives [£4] - Such a big bowl of yummy olives
Eggs Royale with Smoked Salmon [£8] - Soft breakfast muffins topped with smoked salmon and oozing eggs, just the way we like them. The hollandaise sauce had nice, subtle flavours and this dish went straight down. One of the best smoked salmon egg royales we’ve had in a really long time!
Avocado on toasted Sourdough [£8] - A good balance of tomatoes and avocado with the avocadoes smashed nicely with a smattering of coriander. The spinach was cooked right and not overcooked (as some places usually do) and the sourdough was really soft, albeit the crust was a little hard
With drinks of Espresso and Fresh Orange Juice. The espresso was smooth and not bitter at all, with the biscuit adding a nice touch. The Orange juice was totally fresh and loved every sip of it.
And then a Luxury Afternoon Tea [£22] because how can you not?! And boy, were we glad we did. For those of you wanting this, make sure you book beforehand and let them know of any dietary requirements and they will try their best to accommodate. All the items are made fresh daily and to the amount required, so be prepared - even a day’s notice is enough.
The afternoon tea consisted of;
Savoury of;
Our favourites of Goats cheese with red onion wrap, which was not overpowering on the cheese and Avocado sandwich, which had a tang to it
The other sandwiches were cheese & tomato, egg mayo, cucumber and mushroom pate
Sweet of;
Scone with clotted cream and jam - pure yum, and a soft, firm scone. We can never figure out which one goes first, so on this occasion it was jam
Brownie - Pure, rich chocolate indulgence
White chocolate biscuit - Soft, shortbread with white chocolate providing a creamy touch. This is a good dunkin option
Other items included strawberry macaron, lemon trifle meringue, rhubarb panna cotta
We are most definitely going to return for some more goodies over here - it makes you feel so special.

Delicious food and great staff.
OK. I go there for the 3 course meal deal which includes a cocktail.
As anyone familiar with meal deals knows, you get pared down portions of the regular al la carte menu.
That said, we love the views and flavoursome dishes on a budget. Given that one is getting wined and dined for the cost of 2 cocktails, something must be right.
Rob the Maitre'd is attentive and welcoming. When the olives on the standard menu with chilli oil were too spicy for my 3 year old, he replaced them with the lovely Cerignola variety from the deli.

Excellent food and excellent service, however, Sunday menu doesn't offer as much choice as the weekly à la carte. Please bear this in mind if you're booking a table for a Sunday.

Great service and good food. Make sure to go earlier, it takes about an hour just to get your food when restaurant is busy.

Have been for meals and drinks for a few years now, we've never had one bad meal. The food is delicious and there's a variety of drinks so at least you'll be spoilt for choice, we love coming here for New Year Eve and have made it a bit of a traditional thing

Came here with my parents for a pre birthday drink and food. The man who served us was extremely helpful. We were struggling decide what to have and his recommendations were spot on. I would definitely recommend getting the scallops. They were the best I've ever had. So full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Also if you enjoy a spot on people watching as I do it's the perfect place to sit and watch the world go by.

Fabulous place and gorgeous food. Views are spectacular. Had the 3 course meal deal with cocktail. Expected to get small portions but this was not the case at all. Food was to die for - all 3 courses.
