The Second Floor Restaurant, Brasserie & Bar

Fashionistas meet foodies in this iconic department store, part of the newly developed Millennium Triangle area. The interior design is, of course, cutting edge & there are good views over the Manchester skyline. The restaurant teams a short menu – pea & mint risotto, & local hare fillet with braised red cabbage, carrot puree & bitter chocolate – with an excellent wine list. The brasserie is more informal – char-grilled steaks, tuna nicoise wrap, smoked haddock fishcakes – & takes in the award-winning cocktail bar. The Sunday brunch menu is also worth checking out. Access is available after the store has closed via a private lift in Cateaton Street.
