"The French has always had a top reputation in town, has played host to several important people over the years, not to mention being where Posh and Becks went on their first date, which in modern terms really does equal the famous first meeting of Mr Rolls and Mr Royce in the same place, all those decades ago.
This is without a shadow of a doubt one of the top food places in town.
Of course it all depends on what you like but, if it's not your personal favourite, then it is more than likely in your top 2.
The service is exceptional, probably the best in town if you like proper fine dining and formality.
The dining area is stunning, rivalled only by places around King Street with their palatial domed roofs.
Definitely a special occasion place, and certainly one for those who appreciate the historic surroundings. Superb!" ~ Restaurants Of Manchester (Apr 2009)
