Think the place needs to look around at what other competitors are charging because your prices are well over priced. Excellent food but not worth the money in my eyes, so until the price comes down I will not be returning.

Manchester

About the restaurant

A relaxed wine-led rooftop restaurant with panoramic views of Manchester City Centre, a daily changing menu, and a cellar with more than 400 different wines to choose from.

Climat is the second site from the team behind Covino, who set up shop in Chester's historic city centre back in 2016. The team has since forged a reputation both regionally & nationally as a fiercely passionate wine-led restaurant with exciting daily changing menus.

Head Chef Luke Richardson best describes his style of cooking as 'Parisian ex-pat food' - a nod to his time spent cooking in the cosmopolitan kitchens of Paris.

As the name 'Climat' might suggest, our cellar of more than 400 different wines has a slight lean toward our favourite region of all - Burgundy. Outside of Burgundy you’ll find a healthy selection of other favourites from around the world, with wines from small producers, to the more iconic, and all the top vignerons that sit between.

My husband ordered the fish pie and it was unavailable; the server should have stated this when we sat down. I asked for the chipotle mayo on the side as it can be quite hot and spicy; I got mayo on the side but they still put it in the burger.

We all three had parsnip soup to start. A good choice on a cold day. Thick & hot but, in hindsight, I think I could have added a little black pepper.. Three different mains - all good. Two of us requested spoons to finish the delicious sauces on the tagliatelli & in the fish stew. The chocolate orange cheesecake was divine. Very rich.

About the restaurant

Dukes 92 was originally a stable block for the horses delivering foods off barges to the Merchants warehouse opposite. From these humble begininngs the building now houses Manchester's original bar and grill which has been refurbished and extended three times since its opening in 1991 the space today is informal and airy with the buildings heritage being reflected in a subtle blend of antique furniture and modern fixed seating.
With its most recent refurbishment Dukes can now properly call itself a venue with two bars, three private events spaces, a grill restaurant, excellent smoking facilities, canalside terrace and balcony overlooking the canal basin. Dukes continued appeal relies on its ability to transform from a relaxed, family friendly environment by day to a vibrant and stylish bar and grill by night.
The space has been extended and refurbished since its opening in 1991 and inside its interior combines contemporary features and its trademark antique furniture.
