Relax and unwind in the stylish contemporary ambience of Robbies Restaurant and Bar at the Renaissance Manchester Hotel in Blackfriars Street. For breakfast or dinner, dine from a menu that offers choices of international and Mediterranean cuisines.

Guests could begin their meal with gnocchi with squid chilli and buffalo mozzarella, beef and oxtail terrine or slow roasted belly pork. They can then move on to guinea fowl wrapped in bacon with Savoy cabbage and Port wine jus, Goosnargh duck cooked two ways with Parisienne potatoes and redcurrant jus and pappardelle pasta with wild mushrooms and English garden herbs. The bar menu offers light bites of Bury black pudding on a toasted English muffin, roasted vegetables and feta cheese sandwich, beefburger and Caesar salad. A dessert selection that includes orange and cinnamon cheesecake, chocolate fondant with pistachio ice cream and pear tarte tatin with clotted cream ice cream concludes the meal with panache. An extensive wine list, house cocktails and liqueur coffees give further pleasure.
