Restaurant critic Giles Coren has given a rare rave review for a Manchester restaurant - although his and his pal Anne Robinson's comments about Manchester's female population have raised eyebrows.
The Times' reviewer Giles dined at the Dakota Hotel restaurant near Piccadilly on the advice of his fellow journalist friend, Countdown host Anne Robinson, who stays at the luxury hotel when filming Countdown at MediaCityUK in Salford.
Giles joined her for dinner at the venue, despite her warning that: "Dinner in Manchester requires a girl to have a spray tan, stick-on tattoos and stilettos," with Anne apparently adding that she is 'often mistaken for a homeless person', while in the city.
