The Ivy Spinningfields
Creative Tourist
Valentine’s Day: From Saturday 10th February until Thursday 15th February, The Ivy celebrates the season of love with a romantic set menu and partnership with Della Vite Prosecco Rosé. After a glass of rosé on arrival, guests can choose from a selection of dishes from The Ivy’s three-course menu.
Priced at £75 per person, diners are invited to enjoy a duo of prawns to start, complimented beautifully with avocado, tomatoes, and marie rose sauce. Main course options include Fillet of Beef, Lobster Linguine or Coconut Sweet Potato Curry paired with Sprouting Broccoli and Truffle and Parmesan chips for the table. To finish, a ‘Love is in the air’ sharing dessert, with vanilla and strawberry parfait, raspberry sorbet and salted caramel chocolate truffles.
Restaurant review (2023): The Ivy is the iconic centrepiece of Spinningfields. Everything here screams luxury, from the nature-themed architecture outside to the relaxing and eccentric interior, with those spacious long sofas ideal for kicking back and absorbing the romantic atmosphere while you dine.
The menu features an array of exotic dishes with something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a meaty pick or a vegetarian option. First, truffled wild mushrooms with a potato rosti, fried quail’s egg and grated truffle. The mushrooms are pleasantly soft, with a firm bite, pairing well with the crunchy rosti and delicate quail’s egg.
An 8oz steak is a welcome surprise as it’s a rare sight on a set menu, and it comes with a San Marziano tomato and basil salad on the side. The steak, cooked rare, arrived with a gentle sear and smoky flavour – no corners were cut when sourcing this meat. The tomatoes are vibrant and bursting with freshness, making them the perfect companion for this show-stopping steak.
This dessert is served with a showstopping performance
To finish with a bang, the chocolate bomb. This dessert is served with a showstopping performance, as a hot salted caramel sauce is poured from above to reveal a crackling honeycomb centre that complements the alluring rich chocolate.
If you’re looking for more than just a meal to keep the winter blues away then The Ivy Spinningfields is the place to be. An evening here is both an experience and a show. From the most politely charming waiters in Manchester to the exceptional cocktails, there’s something here that’s bound to wow you.
