Out of Towners
Once more Caroline and Sophie attended Manchester’s Finest Out of Towners on 25th March, as Head Chef Johnnie Crowe of London’s 1 Michelin Star Restaurant St. Barts descended on Manchester with a stunning 7 course tasting menu.
After three beautiful amuse bouche, they started with a beautifully arranged shellfish, seaweed and sea herbs dish to prepare the palate, quickly followed by crab, horseradish and buttermilk.

Maitake mushrooms and roasted yeast were next followed by scallop and blackcurrant, before the main event of Duck Satay – as good as it sounds!

Desserts comprised a favourite – British Key Lime Pie, followed by a deliciously unique Black Koji Tart.
The exceptional wine pairings were again supplied by Berkmann Wine Cellars and were sourced from Tasca d’Almerita – an historic Sicilian family-owned wine estate.
Another success by Out of Towners, and we’re already looking forward to the next instalment!

Speaking of food and drink news in the city, the success story that is Higher Ground announced the opening of a new seafood and music bar.
You can read more about this at Manchester’s Finest – of course – by clicking here. Based on our experience of Higher Ground it’s going to be an amazing, chilled space with great food and, knowing our city, some cracking tunes.
