Kro Bars: Gordo Says.. Blimey Tim, I know we are irreverent, but I am surprised Mark Ruby hasn’t shot you! These are some of Manchester’s best bar/restaurants in their category and more often than not box well above their weight. Idiosyncratic, sometimes chaotic, always a buzz. Go.Kro Bars: Faye Says.. A hefty favourite of mine, get a load of their two courses off the Early Doors Menu for £6.50, while you are there! Click here to register for a voucher AND throughout the Festival all of the Kro establishments (KroBar, Kro2, Café Muse, The Old Abbey Inn) will be offering daily Danish specials on their menu and a continental beer will be promoted at a discounted price each day.

Top three hotel, top five restaurant. Manager Scott Harper is proving he can run a hotel as well as he can drink claret. Outstanding.
Faye’s Take:Easy like Sunday morning…..” chill out with all your favourite dishes including Malmaison eggs benedict, salmon fishcakes and roast of the day. For bookings please contact Angela Harthen on aharthen@malmaison.com or call 0161 278 1005Waxy O’Conner’s, stuff yourself with Oysters!Waxy's, Gordo’s Take: A theme bar (Irish, how did you guess) which works well. Forget the plastic four leaf clovers of Princess street; get in here for the Craic. It looks cheesy. It ain’t.
Waxy's Faye’s Take: A whole day of oyster eating orgyism. Guinness and Oysters! Get stuck in!From 12.30pm - £25 (Price inclusive of vat, cocktail reception and wine with the meal)
For bookings please contact Angela Harthen on aharthen@malmaison.com or call 0161 278 1005LStD Gordo’s Take: Chris Joyce, Manchester’s Terence Conrad on acid, plots and schemes his delicatessen/café/wine shop empire with a touch of weirdness that makes for what we Mancs want. Something different with quality riveted on.
