SPACE AGE RESTAURANT MENU FULL
The food was light, tasted gorgeous and we felt full at the end of this other worldly experience. Purple skies above us – We have top floor views #Urbis #ManchesterUrbis #Manchester /AIUsVHgTtK The wine list is an interesting mix of popular bins, as well as a number of unusual bottles from England, China and Japan, which pair flawlessly with the tasting menu. For the veggies, a veggie raman and soy cured egg.įinally we had three rounds of dessert – aloe vera, lime and lychee white chocolate, mango and passion fruit, then petit fours of raspberry and saffron chocolate, peppercorn éclair and matcha crepe. The fifth was fillet of beef with black bean sauce, fried rice, salt and pepper prawn. I had soy and ginger reddish with seaweed emulsion and cinders. Is the real banksy ? /i0GLGMC0Ydįor the fourth course my friend had the soy and ginger glazed pork cheek, with choi, oyster emulsion and smoked cinders. Meanwhile I had oyster mushroom with XO sauce. The third course was hand dived scallops with XO sauce and duck tongues. Everything was exquisitely flavoured and there was no way we were going to leave anything. For the vegetarians it was a hot and sour veggie soup with miso, onion and sesame toast. Next up was hot and sour beef soup, with Scottish langoustines and sesame toast. This was accompanied by Ridgeview Rose de Noir, a British sparkling wine (£89 bottle, £17 glass), which had a subtle hint of strawberries and cream. The veggie option was avocado, hoisin sauce, Thai rice, with seaweed emulsion and crispy potato. Take care with the little pearl that explodes with flavour when bitten. We started with smoked eel, oyster sauce, avocado native lobster, Thai flavours, crispy shell, Porthilly oyster, pickled ginger and wasabi. The white cookery came in a wide variety of shapes and every table has a white china spaceman. The restaurant is named after a Japanese fable and the cutlery is so thin it looked like chopsticks. You can tell a good restaurant with the aesthetically pleasing little touches that are a delight to the eyes. Michael already has a one Michelin star restaurant The Man Behind the Curtain in Leeds – and every dish on the eight-course Space Age Asian tasting menu looked like a work of art. But then we were dining with the directors of GG Hospitality, former Manchester United footballers from the class of 1992, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs. On the night we sampled the new menu, Michael wandered through the restaurant during the breaks like a rock star with his tattoos and his platinum long hair. The front desk is surrounded by glass and the restaurant is split over two floors. There is a bright neon rabbit on the wall outside the lift on the sixth floor, with more rabbits painted on the pillars and gold broken eggs standing on stalks in front of the windows. Located in the top of the Urbis building on Corporation Street, above the National Football Museum, the restaurant has views of the neon signs on the Printworks giving it a New York, Hong Kong or Japan feel. Critically-acclaimed chef Michael O’Hare’s relaunched city centre restaurant The Rabbit in the Moon – and it is open for bookings from Wednesday 4 April.
