Harden's survey result
Summary
This “cosy bistro” in Albert Dock has built a strong reputation over the past decade with its “tasty food with bright, sunny flavours” inspired by Middle Eastern dishes encountered in the Marais, Paris. An “interesting short wine list covering some unusual locations” adds to the fun. Branches in Bold Street and Manchester have followed, although the branch in Allerton closed down after six years in 2022.
Summary
“Levantine fusion small plates” are served “to a high standard in a bustling dockside location” at this busy venue inspired by the melting-pot cuisine of Le Marais in Paris. There’s a “small but varied selection of dishes cooked really well, and a great choice of vegetable dishes”. The 2014 Albert Dock original has been followed by branches in Bolod Street, Allerton and most recently Manchester.
Summary
An homage to famous Paris neighbourhood Le Marais, whose melting-pot cuisine, with strong Middle Eastern accents, influences the small plates here (though they also nod to the odd American comfort food dish); the Allerton and Royal Albert Dock offshoots are also hits.
Summary
“Fabulous Maray never disappoints” – whether you head to this “packed” and “buzzing” outpost (est. 2014), or the equally popular offshoots in Allerton and the Royal Albert Dock. Inspired by the kind of food found in the Marais in Paris, it serves “interesting and inspiring” Middle Eastern small plates (“with a focus on vegetarian dishes”), and the end result is “a great experience” according to its army of fans.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
