10 Tib Lane

Summary

With its thoughtful cocktail and drinks menu and interesting modern European menu, this two-year-old bar/restaurant in the city centre isn’t trying too hard but is worthy of attention. It has yet to inspire much in the way of feedback in our annual diners’ poll, but Jay Rayner found “a lot to be stimulated by” in his March 2023 review: “somewhere along the way Manchester was culinarily twinned with Hackney… modern trends have been attended to… but there’s also a wonderful old-school sensibility at work” and even “a couple of flourishes” like “a version of Fergus Henderson’s hot, wobbly roasted bone marrow with salty, vinegary parsley salad”.
