Street Urchin

Really interesting mix of food dishes to try. You can see and taste the effort that goes into them. Tried cuttlefish for the first time (like rubbish calamari) and the Braised Beef Short Rib was quite impressive! My kids can be fussy eaters, but we're eating things that they wouldn't normally go for and enjoying them because they were done so well. The staff I felt could have been a little more attentive, and there was this really odd moment when we first arrived where a server said something to my son in a way that was borderline unnecessary, (but can't completely confirm it was meant the way it sounded). I would recommend the restaurant, simply for the range of interesting food on offer.

Like the decor though it’s a bit weird, old fashioned may be but cute. We had our starter however main came after 45 mins. We didn’t complaint as we’re enjoying our drink and it was kind of busy. Eventually our main arrived which was delicious and the waitress told us that they’re going to knock off our bottle of wine from the bill for main being late which was a lovely gesture. I’ll definitely go back.

Seafood focused restaurant. Menu changes quite often so always something new to try. Service is great and the food is amazing too. Restaurant isn’t huge so seating is limited. Make a reservation if you can but we got there on a Saturday afternoon when they just open and managed to get a table. Would come back to try other items on the menu.

One of the highest calibre meals we’ve had in Manchester, a fresh seafood delight. Even the dressing on the side salad was fantastic which shows that all aspects of the meal were thought out. At the pricier end but portions more than make up for this, didn’t even have space for dessert which is really saying something. Restaurant downstairs is slightly strangely laid out which means that one of you is likely to be just facing the street - this is really the only thing I could think of that could be tweaked perhaps. Would definitely come here again and highly recommend for anyone in Manchester looking for high quality food which is also filling.

Firstly, an amazingly relaxed space. The brutalist concrete interior is softened with lots of plants and greenery and quirky furniture and finishings, making it an unique dining space. We were shown a table upstairs, which was perfect. Excellent service from friendly staff, who seem skilled and intuitively able to deliver their very best. The food....is simply exceptional, using the best market ingredients of the day. One of the best dining experiences I've had.

Buzzy, friendly atmosphere and thoughtfully put together food at our first visit to Street Urchin. We had a mix of seafood and meat dishes across the main menu and specials. The plates are well cooked and have a great combination of flavours, something that was true for all the dishes we tried as a party of four. Everyone loved their food and the service at this fantastic restaurant. Would visit again.

11/10 would recommend! Overall, the food was top notch, amazing service, cosy vibes with loads of plants (the thing that attracted me to the restaurant) and something to treasure 😋 For small plates, we had: 🥩Rare Beef Fillet Tataki - The soy sesame dressing was packed full of flavours that complemented the tender beef. There were beef + pickled ginger wontons in this dish too that had a very crispy wonton skin and a well balanced filling 🐟 Trout Ceviche - The trout was so fresh! What surprised me in this dish were how well seasoned the avocado mousse was. The lime, coriander + chilli were subtle but brought great freshness to this dish! For large plates, we had: 🐟 Halibut (specials) - Well cooked halibut with a spinach+leek beurre blanc (sauce) that enhanced the flavours of the dish. It came with smoked haddock beignets that complemented the soft halibut, adding texture to the dish. The crispy seaweed was such a good addition to the presentation and pairs well with the dish. 🐟 Roast Cod loin - Less heavy flavours when compared to the above dishes, but had a hearty miso+clam butter which had a creamy texture. The cod was topped with herb crumbs and came with very fresh clams. For desserts, we got panna cotta 🍮 that had such a thick creamy texture. It came with peaches, raspberries and a gingerbread that complemented the dish so well. For drinks, we got: 🍷Black Beer w Rasin Wine - Tasted like pedro ximénez with a hint of stout. 🍹Yuzu, Lemon n Tumeric - Surprisingly very tasty and refreshing! p.s. for the bad pics, i was too excited to eat 😅 To note, their menu changes weekly (some dishes may stay). When you book with them, they would send you their menu on the day of the booking (or you could pop by to see their menu) - i hope you’ll be able to try the dishes i did because i enjoyed the food so much that i would come back again.
