Le Mont at Urbis
NOW CLOSED
Tel: Advance bookings: 0161-605 8282.
Manchester's first elevated restaurant is to be operated at Urbis (the Museum of the Modern City) for the next 3 years by Urban Experience Limited, who have successfully operated The Charles Hallé Restaurant at the Bridgewater Hall for the last six years. The restaurant will be on the 5th and 6th floors of the striking new glass building, on the corner of Cathedral Gardens (see map) in the Millennium Quarter.It will include a 35 metre high view of Manchester's new Exchange Square and the city beyond, unavailable from any other location.
It is planned to offer 'modern French' cuisine using the finest ingredients, cooked in a classical French style - with a contemporary twist.
The clear-glazed 75-seater restaurant, which will have its own street-level entrance, will be on two floors. Level five will feature a welcome bar and restaurant tables for 45 covers while the top floor, which can also be used for private events, will have 30 covers.
The interiors will be discrete and stylish and offer spectacular city skyline views that will be totally different by day or night. Considerable time and effort has been put into creating the menu and the wine list, as these needed to part of the whole experience and as memorable as the restaurant setting itself.
Le Mont's restaurant manager will be Adrian Heeks, who recently managed Gary Rhodes' restaurant in Trafford Park.
