My partner and I went to the Rose garden tonight- we have been regulars there since opening. We ordered 'cod cheeks' which was a starter on the set menu (which,since we dined before 7pm was included on this). On ordering the male waiter/manager apologised and said they had sold out of this starter. We chose another starter and very much... More

Just had a really superb meal. Everything was outstanding. The starters of crab risotto and cod cheeks were both exceptional. The lavender duck was perfectly cooked in a wonderful, rich sauce full of flavour. As for the salmon colcannon topped with caviar - wow. Desserts were also unbelievably good. The most intense orange and passion fruit and banoffee and profiterole... More

Booked this restaurant for a meal on a sunday night during a short visit to manchester. The setting is in a small row of shops and restaurants in a leafy area of didsbury. At first glance it seems a little unpreposessing - plain white decor and plain white tables. But this restaurant is all about the food. The menu is... More

We have just returned from a fantastic meal at the rose garden. Having had it recommended by friends we thought that we give it a try, and it might well now be our favourite restaurant in Manchester. Firstly the choice of dishes for a set menu is excellent, not just your standard terrine, or soups. I had a full English... More

Lovely food well presented. Decor very simple (clean white walls, chairs and tables) which is not very cosy but suits the place as it's small inside. The food is reasonably priced with the set menu being very good value. There were three of us in our group and all of our meals were lovely.

Have eaten here now several times it just seems to get better and better. Lovely food , fantastic service and pleasant surroundings make the journey over from Huddersfield so worthwhile. Will be back very soon. Thank you for making my mums birthday meal so memorable.

This has to be one of my favourite places to eat in Manchester. The menu is tantalisingly different from your average restaurant and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into the food; the flavours are amazing! If you are vegetarian, there is a good choice with imaginitive dishes you won't get elsewhere. The service is friendly and... More

Been to the Rose Garden twice and I've loved it both times. Food is British but unusual and really brilliant quality. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great. The mid week set menu is very good value for money.
