About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Good for groups

Set in a sprawling industrial relic of Manchester’s past and deep into the Northern Quarter. Favelas defines contrast. With one foot set firmly in South America and another in the industrial revolution, there’s no subtlety to Manchester’s iconic past. Broad steel columns, original floorboards and antique machinery are just a few features still in use.

Using the building’s original lay out, several spaces have been individually crafted, each with its own style. From our traditional Brazilian designed dining rooms to our dedicated cocktail bar and not to mention the infamous rainforest canopy dance floor.

Our head chef, Austin Fletcher, has curated the menu after months of exploration and sampling, bringing back home the flavours and vibrancy of his travels in South America. Clearly reflected in the dishes is the incredible diversity & multi-cultural history of Brazil, with each dish having a unique back story to its creation.

Really nice food and friendly and helpful waiter service. However we were pretty much the only people in the bar around 9pm and yet the bar staff turned the music up to a ridiculously high level so that we had to move to the other end of the bar. It's the second time that I have seen this happen...seems like the bar staff were more interested in entertaining themselves than keeping customers happy. We did ask them to turn it down but they didn't bother. A shame as it does put me off going back.

We were concerned when Favelas phoned to ask us to go earlier as kitchen was closing but the food and service were very good. Atmosphere good too apart from being a bit too dark for eating. All in all a lovely evening.

On arriving even though we had booked ahead they seemed not to be prepared for us at all and we ended up having to wait for a table. The staff were totally preoccupied with the day of the dead event that was going on that night and were all having or had makeup applied. Service was lethargic at best and haphazard at worst. They didn’t have the house red in but offered the next wine and full price instead of matching the house price, as I would have expected. The wine and two glasses were then plonked unceremoniously on our table, unopened!! The table was sticky and the cutlery and glassware were grubby. All in all not the experience we were expecting when you consider how polished the experience in Nando’s (I appreciate it’s not a like for like comparison!) is and at a better price too. Wouldn’t go again and wouldn’t recommend Flavela’s to anyone. Polish up your act and get the staff so me customer care training!! The food was passable at best.

The food was good when it arrived. Unfortunately, their kitchen was very busy due to Deliveroo, JustEat etc. so we had a 45 minute wait for food, even though the restaurant itself wasn’t very busy. Some of the dishes weren’t available. The waiter tried his best in the circumstances but there was a bit of confusion about the drinks deals and availability of food. The restaurant also seemed to have had difficult receiving the booking information. Not sure whether it was a process failure on their part or OpenTable’s. Suggestions for improvement: 1) Don’t over-commit on delivery services, 2) Make the food and drinks offers and availability very clear and visible (including signage), 3) Tighten up the processes. Thanks Andrew

We waited 45 minutes for our starter while sipping a truly terrible cocktail. The main meal was so slow arriving we were on the verge of walking out. The staff were very apologetic but the whole evening was so disappointing. We will not be returning.

We tried the restaurant as we had a half price offer, the food was good and the service was friendly although it did take a while to be served and the starter arrived with the mains I would probably go back again but would not be happy to pay full price for the steak would order something else, as the steak was overcooked compared to my request
