“A promising addition to the Manchester scene” which “burst onto the stage with a hell of a bang” a year ago from the team behind Chester’s Corvino, with The Observer’s Jay Rayner an early enthusiast. It’s “a fabulous rooftop spot” on the eighth floor of a city-centre building, with “excellent and innovative modern British small plates” backed up by “a really interesting wine list” (top Burgundies, but also vintages from Greece and other less famous wine growing regions). Top Menu Tips – “don’t miss the ever-changing vol-au-vent which smacks of nostalgic 1970s happiness, or the hash browns with perfectly judged taramasalata”.

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).

What the Newspaper Critics are saying

The Daily Telegraph

William Sitwell found his way with some difficulty to a restaurant on the top floor of a city centre office block, where he was happy to encounter “fine grub” from a kitchen which showed signs of “nimble thinking”.
Its menu of snacks, plates, sides, sweets and cheese was seemingly designed to encourage you to order so greedily “that they can then shower you with glasses and carafes of wine”.

“On a glorious day,” he concluded, “with rooftop views to boot, the confident and civilised Climat made us feel like we were the lords not just of hundreds but of all creation.”
