Based in the iconic Stock Exchange Hotel, Tender is one of Manchester's newest family-style brasseries with the art of comfort dining at its core. The kitchen is under the guidance of acclaimed chef Niall Keating and works to create dishes that transcend time, blending tradition with more creative and fresh ideas.
The restaurant offers a brasserie menu from Wednesday to Saturday switching to a Sunday menu at the end of the weekend. Diners will also be able to opt for the Chef's lunch or dinner, which are also both available Wednesday to Sunday. Tender’s menu is packed with warm, comforting classics - a chorizo risotto or lobster roll to start, followed by roast halibut in brown butter sauce or spit roast chicken shared by the table, or an all-the-trimmings feast on Sunday lunch.
For a special occasion, Tender offers private dining spaces for up to 12 people, as well as a special chef’s dinner menu, a highlight reel of Keating’s favourite inventive comfort dishes (think confit salmon with wasabi mayonnaise or pot roast cauliflower with sesame and pomegranate) served family-style at a competitive £115 per person.
Keating and his team understand that a meal out isn't just about eating, but is about the experience that you're provided with, an approach that is evident in the restaurant’s opulent old-world ambience, curated playlists as you enter the space, and weekly live music. Tender offers a space to celebrate a special occasion with loved ones, enjoy a romantic evening for two, or spend time enjoying the warmth and charm of the restaurant. Chef Keating brings with him an exceptional catalogue of experience and a passion for comfort cooking that is paired with his commitment to excellence.
