El Gato Negro Tapas Manchester

Great place to visit for great food. Complete a delicious and well portion. Make sure you book it in advance that table can be hard to come by during dinner time. Tips selected place offer at three plates for 20 pound every Sunday. So if you want to save some money, you can target to go there on Sunday. Cheers.

Went as a group of 9 Can’t fault the service, the waitress was brilliant, really attentive, kept checking back in. We were on a set menu as we were a larger group, food came out well timed. Plenty of options for vegans, I had my own menu. Food was good, would go again.

So me and my Wife were feeling peckish so we decided to head into town(Manchester) for food so I have always wanted to eat at El Gato Negro as i have long been aware of the fantastic reputation that El Gato Negro has locally. so we parked on King Street West and walked up to the restaurant we hadn't booked but luckily they had either a table outside or upstairs called the chefs table(Raised area with tall chairs overlooking the kitchen), So we decided to go for the Chefs table and the waitress took us upstairs to our table. To drink i ordered a pint of Complot IPA 🍺 and my Wife opted for a large glass of red wine 🍷 to eat my Wife ordered Gambas Pil Pil(Prawns) and Octopus 🐙 and I ordered the 3 dishes for £20(Only on Selected dishes including some meat, fish and vegetable dishes) I opted for the meatballs, Chorizo and ham and cheese croquettes and then I ordered the lamb kebabs. Our drinks arrived and went down a treat on a hot Manchester evening, being sat at the 👩‍🍳 👨‍🍳 table(Raised counter with tall chairs overlooking the kitchen) was a great experience watching the Chefs at work the time and effort they put in to the presentation is 5☆.

Then my Wife's Octopus 🐙 arrived and I have never seen an Octopus that big in my life and my Wife really enjoyed her Octopus, Then the Lamb kebabs arrived and Wow the flavours of the sauce with the Lamb was delicious, The lamb was cooked medium and it literally melted in my mouth, We then ordered another round of drinks. The whole experience was amazing 👏, The service, The food, The restaurant was spotlessly clean, Drinks were well presented and went down a treat, The kitchen was spotlessly clean, The Chefs were amazing, Food was tasty and well presented and the whole experience far surpassed our high expectations.

Had a wonderful dining experience at El Gato Negro Tapas in Manchester. We enjoyed our dinner on the top floor, and everything from the ambiance to the service made the evening feel special. The atmosphere was cozy yet vibrant—perfect for a relaxed but memorable night out. As a lover of Spanish cuisine, I was especially pleased with the food. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of authentic flavor. From the tapas to the wine, everything reminded me of the warmth and richness of Spain. ¡Muy delicioso! If you’re looking for a place that offers a true taste of Spain in the heart of Manchester, I’d definitely recommend this spot.

Had the best time for our date night. The vibes were fantastic the service great and the food was incredible we will definitely be back and recommending it to everyone. You must get the beef short rib it just fell off the bone.
