I went to Manchester's most beautiful restaurant for a murder mystery - it was the most fun night

Last night, I was invited to an amazing murder mystery evening at Grand Pacific for their re-launch.

Grand Pacific located in Spring Gardens, has been temporarily closed to undergo a refurbishment. Though I had never been to the restaurant before their renovation, they certainly look absolutely stunning now.

The period features and darker interior shines through as a must-see place for all foodies to go and enjoy.

Additionally, we walked into the dining room and were met with the most beautiful dining table adorned with candles and flowers, ready for our evening ahead.

We had the most fabulous 1920’s themed evening with a private dinner and interactive murder mystery game. Amazing actors from Red Herring Games came and acted out a full murder experience with us guests both enjoying a three course meal and figuring out who the murderer was.

This was such a fun way to soft launch the restaurant after their refurbishment and our team won the game!

The food was delicious, as a vegetarian I had the House Baked Bread and Butter, Heritage Beetroot Carpaccio, Pumpkin Ravioli and Chocolate Tart.

My favourite had to be the Chocolate Tart which was even made vegan. However, the Pumpkin Ravioli would have to follow as a close second as the sauce was divine.

The new restaurant officially opens on the 8th of September and you can join them for their soft launch period from the 8th to the 21st of September.
