Offering the best French cuisine Manchester has to offer, our award-winning restaurant is a gastronome's paradise and a well-known landmark on Manchester's culinary map, which has long deserved its two AA rosettes.

Chef's expertise and discerning eye for the finest ingredients ensure that dining at The French Restaurant is an experience long-remembered.
Wine connoisseurs will discover that our cellar holds one of the finest collections of French wines Manchester has to offer, including sought-after classics from vineyards such as Chateau Pichon-Longueville Baron and Rayne-Vigneau.
The Gastronomique menu at The French Restaurant can be booked from Tuesday to Thursday, with two, three or four course options available.
Combined with the fully refurbished Colony Restaurant , offering a delicious a la carte menu of modern European cuisine, and the elegant Octagon Lounge serving creative light snacks, dining at The Midland is guaranteed to impress.
