The view

The name refers to the height: the venue sits 20 storeys up, and both the restaurant and terrace look out across the city. The terrace is planted with trees that rise two storeys, which softens the steel and glass and gives it a garden feel on summer evenings. It is one of the best-known rooftops in the city.

Food and drink

The restaurant menu is modern British and seasonal, built around coastal seafood, sustainably sourced steaks and local produce. The terrace has its own lounge bar for cocktails and lighter visits, so you do not need to commit to a full meal to enjoy the setting. Come at sunset for the best of the view, when the city lights start to come on across Manchester.

Booking tips

Restaurant tables for up to 12 can be booked online, with larger groups handled through the events team. Terrace bookings are for six or more; smaller groups can walk in, and outdoor tables cannot be reserved, so arrive early on sunny days. Spinningfields has plenty nearby, including The Ivy and The Oast House, and The Blues Kitchen on Quay Street for live music afterwards.
