    There's nowhere quite like Erst. What they do with ingredients is bordering an alchemy. You recognise what's in the dishes, but the way they're put together and presented is unique. Erst is our favourite restaurant in Manchester

    We had a fabulous time at ERST Restaurant! The staff was extremely helpful and created a great vibe that made our experience truly memorable. The food was absolutely delicious, and we can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing dishes. Highly recommended!

    We came to celebrate our 4th year anniversary, not one member of staff acknowledged this. What is the point in leaving a note if nothing is said nor done. Another point is that they don’t ask patrons upon entering if they want their coats hung up- why would I want to sit with my wet coat? It’s poor form for a £100+ restaurant. The service is general was quite poor, very slow service whilst the table next to us, who had arrived after us and had ordered almost identical items, were out the door half an hour before. The food and selection of wines were good but not mindblowing. I’m in no rush to go back.

    went there expecting a solid meal. food was average. low point of the meal was when we ordered a skate and even after an hour it didn’t show up. The intention was to serve the skate last. We ordered 2 rounds of food, with the skate being ordered on the first round. However, even after consuming both rounds of food, the skate was not served (an hour has passed since we ordered) Overall very disappointing wait, especially when we prompted for the main dish multiple times. Service staff just kept saying that it’s on the way. The unacceptable wait ruined the experience. 1 male service staff tried his best to salvage the situation but at that point we’d already lost our appetite.

    ERST has a fantastic atmosphere with delightful staff. The menu is excellent and the food we had was absolutely delicious. Our favourites were the gnocco frito and skate which were absolutely fantastic. Already planning my next visit.

    Erst is a great place for excellent food, ambience and helpful staff. We went for a birthday celebration at lunchtime midweek and will definitely be back soon.

    Our daughter gave us a voucher as a gift and we used it to get dinner here. We weren’t disappointed. The food is lovely- very imaginative and well cooked. We especially liked the Barnsley chop, the gnoccho fritto and the beef fat flatbread. Service was very friendly and efficient. Will definitely return
