Podium Restaurant Bar & Lounge

Located in Manchester's landmark hotel in the city centre, the Hilton Manchester Deansgate, this cosmopolitan restaurant is an institution on the local dining scene. The Podium Restaurant, Bar and Lounge - with its discreet banquette seating, dim lighting and crisp linen tablecloths - has a sexy, old-school New York vibe and is an impressive setting for any occasion. The restaurant serves everything from smoothies and full English breakfasts with Bury black pudding, to a sophisticated international menu with local influences in the evening - our favourite dish being Podium's signature Malaysian king prawn curry. The glamorous setting - conducive to an aperitif or two before dinner - is popular with both locals and hotel guests.
