    My third time at Hispi in 3 consecutive weeks and it’s as lovely as ever. The current menu is amazing I’ve had different 3 & 2 courses on each occasion & could still choose something different if I went back. Chefs have got it perfect. So cosy and warm and fantastic staff who are incredibly attentive and make you feel so welcome. A big shout out to Clare who keeps the show on the road , Jasmeen for fabulous service on Saturday night and our lovely waitress last night for her great recommendations. Still best place to eat in Didsbury by far .

    Staff and food both brilliant. Couldn’t do enough for us and were really good with the children and accommodating when asked to swap items on the menu.

    Fantastic restaurant, superb staff and service, quality of food exceptional! Had the Crab-Cake & Roast Beef dinner off the 2 course Sunday lunch menu (£36). Both fantastic! I’d go as far to say you’d be hard pushed to find a better Sunday roast in South Manchester! Hispi never disappoints. Huge thank-you to the team, will not leave it as long for the next visit.

    Hispi has a welcoming but ordinary ambience. Window table views are poor, overlooking street traffic or car parking. Decor , furniture etc. are like a cafe.. The food we ate was nice, well flavoured but starters and desserts relatively small and overpriced. The main course we chose was festive, with turkey that was thin sliced, tasted processed & definitely off the bone. Roast potatoes did not taste fresh. Our cocktails and beer were small and bottled respectively. Overall, nice but ordinary and overpriced.

    Yet another really lovely meal at Hispi. The food was delicious and the team were lovely. The early bird set meal is great value and a very nice touch when the puddings came out to celebrate my friend’s birthday.

    It is possibly the best restaurant in Didsbury but I think that is a reflection of the high number of very average restaurants scattered around Didsbury. We had not been to Hispi for sometime after having an inedible meal there due to it being drowned in salt. We thought we would give it another try, the staff were lovely and the service was spot on, but my wife’s fish course was cold, very cold. It was a quiet Wednesday night so no excuses of being busy. I think other reviewers have mentioned the cafe type decor which I agree is dated, there is a dishwasher in the restaurant which spoils the ambiance, we had a window seat and it was cold. At £160 for two on a Wednesday evening, one expects a better experience it may be a while before we try again which is a shame as we live around 200 metres away. I wish Hispi well and I will continue to watch the positive reviews pour in before trying again in the future.
