Vermilion & Cinnabar

SquareMeal Review of Vermilion & Cinnabar

Three floors of unabashed oriental opulence not far from the City of Manchester Stadium, this dramatic venue is part restaurant, part cocktail bar – an OTT, film-set bonanza of pearl curtains, maroon walls, black lacquered floors & copper-varnished ceilings. The kitchen pitches camp in Thailand, but also makes expeditions to other parts of the Far East for Japanese sushi & tempura, Punjabi tandooris, regional curries & the odd fusion crossover. Grilled Bengali tiger prawns with green papaya salad is a signature dish, likewise rare beef salad with grapes, chilli & mint, & a take on black cod marinated in soya bean paste & rice wine. Veggies also do well here, with anything from samosas & aloo tikki to pad thai jay (stir-fried rice noodles with tofu & tamarind sauce). Cinnabar’s sexy cocktail list is full of eastern promise, & its clubby thrills extend to Euro/Asian beats & private ‘cocoon beds’.

Horrible Experience with this place and not recommending to anyone.

I went to this restaurant recently for a special occasion, however, we didn't get very good service. We had to repeatedly remind our server about our orders because they had forgotten them. It took an eternity for the food to come, and when it did, it was barely warm. Not the lavish, immaculate event venue I had imagined.

Enjoyed Pad Thai

Lovely ambiance and excellent decor. I enjoyed the Pad Thai and many vegan options too—a tasty addition. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. All very trendy.

Amazing

The whole Seabass was amazing. Still thinking about it? The place is straight out of a movie set—opulent and over-the-top in the greatest way. The service was attentive and competent. Can't wait to come back!

Friendly Atmosphere

They have both Thai and Indian dishes - but I chose their tomahawk which as beautiful. And their cocktail bar upstairs is gorgeous. Nice and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Spectacular Venue

Spectacular venue! One of the best-tasting Asian dishes. Very lively too with great live music and the manager was very helpful with the wine choices.
