Two new Manchester restaurants have been shortlisted for gongs in the annual Estrella Damm National Restaurant Awards. Climat and Higher Ground are both on the shortlist for Opening of the Year at the 2023 event.
Climat opened last November in Blackfriars House at the top of Deansgate, with a host of local and national reviews following. With views across the city and a huge outside terrace, it is the latest project from the team behind Covino in Chester, which is named in the Michelin Guide.
The restaurant boasts an enviable wine list featuring over 250 bottles at any one time, and sharing dishes from Luke Richardson and Simon Ulph, as well as its signature daily-changing vol-au-vent snacks.
