Love this restaurant. Yes it’s pricey. It’s an experience with wonderful service. Still not convinced about that smoked eel but that’s me and overall the whole meal and experience was wonderful! Add the drinks if you like that… it’s well explained and well curated.

Our review of Adam Reid at The French (December 2018)

It had been over four years since my last visit to The French in Manchester. A lot has changed in that time; Simon Rogan ended his association at the back end of 2016 and since then Adam Reid has very much been the man in charge; indeed, the restaurant now carries his name. One thing that hasn't changed very much in that time however is the response from the major food guides; both the AA and Good Food Guide still rate the food here very highly (exceptionally highly in the case of the Good Food Guide), but our favourite tyre munching inspectors continue to hold back that elusive and so very much coveted star....
