The Michael Caines dining experience
Start off with a flûte of Champagne in the sthylish Champagne Bar while perusing the à la carte menu that changes with the seasons before moving in to the stunning dining room to enjoy your meal at your leisure. Or, if you're comfortable in bar, then order as many dishes as you like from the grazing menu.
"Amazing graze lunch"
Michael Caines has pioneered a 'grazing' concept for lunch, a changing seasonal menu that offers smaller portions of our à la carte dishes, presented and served with the same Michael Caines style. This 'amazing graze' lunch gives a real taste of our high quality cuisine at an excellent value price. Moreover, we respect the busy demands on your time and guarantee to serve you lunch within one hour. Should time not be an issue, then you are naturally invited to linger over your meal as long as you like.
Tasting menu with wines
Each week, Executive Chef Mark Rossi, who worked alongside Michael at both Gidleigh Park as well as ABode Canterbury, devises a special 7-course tasting menu that includes both MC signature dishes from the à la carte as well as Mark's special seasonal creations. This is a finely balanced, carefully crafted menu that demonstrates the Michael Caines style of cooking most wonderfully. Our sommeliers match each dish with a specially selected wine to create the ultimate dining experience.
Early Dining
One of the most accessible ways to enjoy and experience Michael Caines at ABode Manchester is to come along from 6-7pm to enjoy our special Early Dining menu, a 2- or 3-course menu that changes weekly. This is probably the best dining deal in the city!
