Top Best French Restaurants in Lower Whitley

"With a combination of delicious food, great wines and a real ambience, Café Rouge has embodied the style and je ne sais quoi of French dining since it opened way back in 1989. Now with over 90 sites across the country it's just the place to mull over…"

"Head to The Midland Hotel to discover Adam Reid at The French, an award-winning upscale restaurant serving modern cuisine by chef Adam Reid. The restaurant uses only seasonal produce, and the menu offers a choice of four, six, or nine courses, all of which showcase classic British food with a contemporary twist. This is where you want to go for a special occasion or a fancy night out, and it's essential to book in advance."

"The Midland Hotel, 16 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 2DS. Adam Reid has kept The French at the top of Manchester’s restaurant tree for many years, and while the grand dining room is opulent, the vibe feels less formal and the food continues to impress."

"63 Degrees is a small, family run restaurant, bringing a little taste of Paris to the Northern Quarter. This is proper, grown-up dining - with tablecloths (remember them?) - but without the stuffiness of a restaurant that takes itself too seriously. Perched in one of the trendiest districts of Manchester, the food staunchly opposes the hipster fad-fest that surrounds it."

"20 Church Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1PN. Coffee lovers know that 63 degrees is the perfect temperature at which to serve it, but chef-proprietor Eric Moreau applies the rule to poultry and cake as well. Don’t miss the set weekday lunch either."

"There are Francophiles behind this nationwide French brasserie group – that much is obvious. Every last detail, from the rattan terrace furniture ..." Read our full review"

"Owned by Marc Wilkinson, Fraiche uses modern cooking techniques to create light, contemporary French cuisine. Based in Oxton, this restaurant was recently named number one in the UK by The Sunday Times. The successful eatery only serves about10 diners per evening and books up months in advance."

"Merseyside’s fine-dining star, the tiny Fraiche restaurant is home to an artist behind the pass. Having been rated as a ‘rising star’ by the Michelin guide in 2006 and 2007, the restaurant finally secured the real thing in 2009 and Francophile Marc Wilkinson has since upheld it with ease."

"Located in the village of Oxton, the discreet and understated façade of Fraiche leads you into an intimate, modern space created with a theme of natural elements inspired by the shoreline. With an ever evolving menu, Michelin restaurant Fraiche is consistently fantastic."

"If you are in the mood for a more “Francaise” flair to your meal, then check out Cote Brasserie where every detail is meticulously planned out to create gorgeous croissants and succulent croque monsieur. They offer a gluten-free menu for those individuals who are sensitive, and can accommodate any taste bud and any dietary choice. The restaurant also maintains a blog that offers even more information about their menu, personal story, restaurant events, and overall inspirational articles on a variety of subjects."

"27/05/2021: Lovely lunch with the fixed price being really good value. Service was friendly and attentive and food arrived quickly and was very tasty with quality fresh ingredients. Only slight negative was overpriced wine by the glass."

"Hidden away in the North Docks, this tiny, unassuming café has been quietly making waves with its quality authentic Chinese food for decades. Offering “the best dumplings in Liverpool”, and regarded as a Liverpool Institution, you’ll always find your food served with a smile from Mrs San. But it’s the story behind San’s Café that makes this a truly legendary family restaurant."

"A glamorous restaurant in a beautiful historic building, Grand Pacific is located in the former Manchester Reform Club on King Street. Exotically furnished to bring back an aura of Raffles with food and drink to match, it’s a fabulous place to watch the world go by from up on high."

"Another sexy restaurant from Living Ventures, Grand Pacific is the King Street powerhouse that boasts high-ceilings, decadent dishes and quirky cocktails. Hang out at the bar, dine in the 100-strong restaurant or go all out with your own private room."

"Decadent interiors are matched with an exotic menu drawing from all corners of the globe at Grand Pacific. From pea and wasabi houmous to soy and treacle cured salmon, this isn't your average Japanese meal; it's a modern take on East Asian flavours."

"Vegan options at pan-Asian restaurant Tampopo include Pad Thai, Singapore Vermicelli Noodles, Sweet Potato Katsu Curry, and a vegan sharing platter with spring rolls, sticky tofu, corn fritters and Jackfruit Rendang. Available to order on Deliveroo from city centre restaurant and their Trafford Centre restaurant."

"Tampopo has opened up new outdoor seating areas at both the Corn Exchange and Albert Square sites, with tables free for walk-in throughout the week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information on the website here."
