Ancoats is undoubtedly the city’s trendiest district, and Erst is its finest restaurant by far. Reasonably priced small plates are the order of the day, with bold flavours and seasonality inspired by Nordic culinary principles, plus dashes of inspiration you would only find in Manchester such as its unforgettable lamb heart and beetroot dish. The communal-style layout and friendly atmosphere mean it’s perfect for an evening out with friends, or simply a way to connect with clued-in locals.
