I visited the new glamorous Cut and Craft restaurant on Mosley Street and was left gobsmacked by this
Walking down Mosley Street in Manchester you would be forgiven for walking past a building that previously lent itself to a bank, as the outside does not match up to the stunning interior that now lies in it.
Cut and Craft steakhouse has taken up residence within the former Manchester and Salford Bank now ‘Bond’.
Promising luxury dining and drinking within elegant yet timeless settings, this new restaurant does not disappoint.
From the moment you step foot into the huge building you are greeted with friendly hosts who take your coat while another directs you to your table.
A sea of blue is a theme that runs throughout the building with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and a DJ on hand to entertain.
Premium cocktails, sparkling wine, champagne, wines and beers are all available, alongside an extensive food menu of steak, seafood, chicken and vegan/vegetarian options.
There is also an option to book for private dining downstairs.
Speaking of downstairs, there’s an ante room, a theatrical, Art Nouveau-style powder room clad in pink-orange marble and a private dining room - The Edward Walters Suite - sealed by original vault doors.
While some restaurants spend a fortune on the main part leaving less emphasis on the toilets, this is definitely not the case here as, once you step into the women’s washroom, a gasp followed by a ‘wow’ will leave your mouth as it is akin to something from what I would guess a Kardashian powder room would look like - think the most gorgeous lighting lit up by a dazzling gold and white centrepiece.
Now onto the food....
As someone who had never tasted oysters before, I decided to be brave and try some with a parmesan crust and while, tasty enough, they would not be my go-to snack of choice going forward.
Second up I opted for some chicken skewers that were cooked to perfection leaving me sad when I finished devouring them.
For the main course I went for a fillet steak with some truffle and parmesan fries - I am still dreaming of the fries alongside the bone marrow gravy which complimented both the steak and fries all of which were washed down with a gorgeous Malbec.
Next up was a cheeseboard with a medley of cheese, crackers and some red grapes - what’s not to love!
Full to the brim I am ready to go home for a nap, but sad to leave.
From start to finish, from the ambience, the food and the service everything was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who made you feel like you were dropping in on a friend for a chat.
I for one cannot wait to go back for a Sunday roast with some bone marrow gravy - and maybe some more addictive truffle fries!
