Tucked away in Urmston, Restaurant Örme is an independent restaurant, bringing a neighbourhood feel and menus that revolve around social dining. Once known for its tasting menus, this exciting new direction leans into seasonally changing small plates that are built for sharing. The kitchen has crafted a selection of dishes that showcase the region’s quality produce, leaning into modern British cooking, with unexpected flavours. Inside, the restaurant reflects its pared back and comforting approach, with Scandi-style wood furnishings set against a vibrant blue backdrop.
At Restaurant Örme, guests can delve into a selection of small plates, showcasing innovative dishes made with seasonal produce. Begin with smoked Lancashire cheddar muffins with dill pickle ketchup or salt ‘n’ pepper scampi with curry mayo, before moving on to roasted scallops with girolles, lovage and buttermilk sauce, or duck leg nuggets with plum brown sauce and salt-baked celeriac. Be sure to save room for dessert, with options such as calvados custard tart with Granny Smith apple sorbet or chocolate and ale mousse with peanut, kirsch and malt ice cream. Can’t decide? The kitchen offers a feasting menu, so you can let the chefs put together a curated selection of plates, as well as a special off-menu dish.
Those visiting on a Sunday can enjoy the restaurant’s signature roasts. Menus here offer two or three courses, so you can start with pork shoulder and bacon terrine, or sweet and sour sticky beetroot, before moving on to herb-marinated leg of lamb, treacle-cured beef rump, roasted chicken crown or a squash schnitzel. Roasts come with all the trimmings, including duck fat roast potatoes and truffle mash, alongside plenty of greens, carrots, gravy and a Yorkshire pudding. Toffee apple cheesecake mousse or sticky ginger cake are the perfect options to round out your meal.
A new drinks menu is also on the cards, allowing guests to tuck into a selection of unique cocktails, such as the Blueberry Margarita or the Manchester Spritz, which blends together raspberry-infused gin with Vimto and soda. Elsewhere, an extensive wine collection includes red, white, rose, orange and sparkling options available by the bottle or glass.
