A short walk from the hustle and bustle of Castlefield, you'll find one of Manchester's best kept secrets, The Banyan Tree.
With its understated, elegant decor and laid-back ambience, anyone who enjoys the Northern Quarter's chilled, contemporary vibe will feel at home.
Is it a cafe? Is it a bar? Is it a restaurant?
Well, it's really all of these.
It's whatever you need it to be.
Typically, you'll find business meetings, social drinking and evening dining happening at the Banyan Tree on any given day of the week; one often blending seamlessly into the other.
Its appeal is built on two main factors: serene surroundings and high quality food.
Not overblown, fine dining; these are English classics with an Asian twist - and a long, long way from 'pinged' pub food.
This is the Banyan Tree's ace in the hole.
The Banyan Tree's creative kitchen team provide an ever-changing selection of 'specials' to complement their standard menu of simple dishes made interesting.
Ever had an onion bhaji on your burger before or a pizza with a naan bread base?
Try, and you'll agree: it works.
Or, play it closer to home and choose from a range of salads, snappy starters or English favourites like Fish & Chips or Sausages & Mash.
Plus, there's the excellent full English breakfasts and Sunday roasts to contend with.
Straight-forward and sublime.
Diners can relax on one of the sofas or take up position in the dominating booth area or take a more formal seat for two to four people.
The restaurant seats up to 70 people and the booth area can accommodate private parties of up to 12 people.
Whatsmore, the food is available to takeaway too.
The Banyan Tree offers an expansive range of Continental beers to complement your food or broaden your drinking horizons.
The wine list is comprehensive and offers excellent value for money.
There's also shooters and cocktails for the more lively guest.
Each week, the Banyan Tree hosts a quiz night, cocktail night and dining discounts for your entertainment.
Venue hire is also available, along with full outside catering facilities to bring the Banyan Tree to you.
