Manchester original The Alchemist has today unveiled its new, sustainability focused menu, following a £550,000 refurbishment of its city centre flagship bar. The new-look menu and interiors represent a significant evolution for the brand, which first opened its doors in 2010, helping institute the area as a cosmopolitan social hub of restaurants and bars.
Re-opening to the public today, the all-day dining and cocktail space has stayed true to its roots in creative alchemy and molecular mixology, but now takes on a cosmic-inspired design palette with futuristic, divine influences from astrology and the cosmos featured throughout. The flagship branch is the first destination to reveal the new concept, which will be rolled out to its other sites over the next few months.
Going hand-in-hand with the new look, a carefully curated menu complete with an extensive array of plant-based dishes has also launched today and is designed to celebrate the sustainable efforts of the brand. In response to the progressive shift to a more ethical way of dining, and in order to cater to a number of dietary requirements, more than half the menu is vegetarian, nearly half vegan and over a third is gluten free.
