About Fenix Restaurant and Bar, Manchester
Greek food done properly is rare in Manchester, and Fenix in Spinningfields does it properly. The room splits across two floors — bar downstairs, restaurant above — and both are clean-lined and impressive enough that people notice before they've even ordered. The set lunch is the move if you haven't been: start with the pita and spreads, get the spicy feta dip on the table, and work through to the spicy meatballs or the glazed half chicken. At dinner, the moussaka, sea bass, lamb shank and beef paccheri are the dishes that keep coming up in what people write. Birthdays land well here — personalised cakes have appeared, and the staff, Owen and Cei among them, are the kind who make a celebration feel looked after rather than processed. Book ahead.
