Harvey Nichols Manchester

Creative Tourist
Harvey Nichols

A British institution dating back to the early 1800s, Harvey Nichols is the Knightsbridge department store that now has branches all over the world, including, naturally, Manchester.

The second-floor brasserie has quietly established itself as a place to escape the bustling city centre, whether it be working on that novel or somewhere to take grandmama for her birthday.

The floor to ceiling windows deliver glorious views over the city, giving a birds-eye glimpse of how Manchester’s industrial past, still evident in the redbrick rooftops, contrast with the glass-and-chrome-filled ground level.
