It was such a treat to go back to The French and it didn’t disappoint. It’s in a beautiful room, the service was efficient but very friendly but most of all the food was memorably delicious. I don’t know why they don’t have a Michelin star. the service was excellent, every dish was a joy to see and taste. Will definitely be back.| Date | Guide | Old Award | New Award |

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....
