Australasia

Australasia isn't bound by tradition or a set of ideas about how an ingredient should be cooked, what it goes with or how it should be serve. The award winning chef and former young Australian chef of the year, Paul Greening, epitomises this ethos perfectly. Its strong ties with China and Japan have also helped determine the style of cooking, particularly the Japanese desire for perfection. Intriguing from the outside and beautiful within, the bespoke glass entrance on Spinningfields Square, Deansgate, is sure to catch the eye, sweeping guests downstairs to the irresistible charms of the restaurant's amazing cuisine and relaxed ambience.

Dining

The dining scene in Manchester is more interesting and varied by the day. All manner of new restaurants, gastropubs and bars keep popping up around the city, which now ranks among the country's best and most diverse culinary destinations. A local speciality is the Manchester Egg, the city's take on the Scotch egg, which is wrapped in black pudding and sausage, then breaded and deep-fried, and should not be missed.
