Good first experience at Chop'd. I thought this was a massive international chain come over from…read morethe US but actually it turns out I am confusing it with an East Coast chain called Chop't! I have been seriously unhealthy recently (since about 2014, actually) and so Chop't was an ideal choice. You can build your own salad or if lazy/too socially awkward to speak to people you can get a pre-prepared one which has the advantage of giving you calorie information. It's interesting to see how many calories a dressing adds! I picked up the jerk chicken salad as thought that was a nice unusual meat for a salad and also it was the lowest calorie option - it also recommended the lowest calorie dressing, balsamic vinegar (all pre-packaged salads come with dressing recommendations but you can pick the one you want or none at all, which is cool). The chicken was nice and tasty, so nice and tasty I ate it all first then regretted I only had lettuce leaves and grilled red pepper left. My friend commented they should hide the chicken at the bottom as a reward. But wait! Chop'd had hidden some delicious sweet potato at the bottom as a reward. Winner. I regret they do not use (exclusively) rocket but other than that I liked Chop'd and will be back.

A big yes to Chop'd, infact a big massive yes to Chop'd…read more I'd heard they were opening up a while back and I'd had a look on social media to see what they were about. Salad and health food options - nothing revolutionary there but something we need more of in Manchester, so I was looking forward to trying them out. Food wise - great: big bowls of healthy salad and veg with the option to add in some protein or cheese for a treat. Price wise - also great: a 'regular' salad starts at £5.45 and only increases if you want to add more items in - but a mountain of lettuce, a choice of 3 vegetables and healthy dose of chicken was more than enough for me! All sounds pretty good doesn't it but wondering why I give 5 stars? I just love the business model - everything about it. I'm quite in awe with it still a day after being there, here's why: A lot of London imports lose their way when coming to Manchester - they seem chain-y, uninspiring and lack any local touch to really appeal to Mancunians. Chop'd avoid these errors and excel in implementation. They have Grindsmith coffee in house, what a clever touch to go with a local company (a great one I may add) and have their branding and signage way clearer than any 'chopd' logos - a massive h/t there. And finally, the speed and ease of service is second to none. You can pick up a ready made salad, you can create your own from scratch in a process that takes 2 minutes tops and you can even order online from box to full salad and collect when it's ready. It's not revolutionary as I said but whilst Manchester has been booming with investment and expansion, some of the traits the London city joints offer up has seemingly skipped our fair city - well until now. I may be blowing it out of proportion and chances are in 2 years time this same exact experience may only merit 4 stars, but in Manchester current climate Chop'd is a for sure winner. I'm a fan.

The menu is quite straight forward, although I am sure there are so many combinations that you would never get bored. I went with the Falafel wrap with coriander hummus, bell peppers, cabbage, jalapenos, and Tahini. I grabbed a canned drink and altogether it was just under £4. Now that is a deal!

I got lost looking for the restaurant after my phone died but finally found my friend at the top of the steps leading down to Earth. Service is set up like a cafeteria, and for just £7 you can pick 4 items from the line (up to 2 "mains".) I think everything in the line and dessert counter is vegan - I was struggling to find dairy/egg items in the menu. I feel like it's more palatable for them to sell themselves as a vegetarian rather than vegan restaurant. I picked up a hearty bean chili atop quinoa, braised cabbage, and a beautiful mushroom pie, in addition to a lime/lemongrass bottled drink and coffee/walnut cake. Portion sizes were huge and you feel very healthy eating the food - the bean chili could have used more seasoning, but the savory mushroom pie was divine! Creamy, savory, and textural, I was surprised at how well they veganized this classic. The cabbage was like tame sauerkraut, which cut the richness of the pie well. The cake was mildly sweet but had a wonderful bitter aftertaste, the scent of ground coffee lingering in my palate long after I finished the last bite. I had a taste of my friend's raw blueberry cheesecake and we had quite a bit of fun trying to guess what they made it out of. It was alright - I would've wanted to try the raw tiramisu, if they had it.

We walked up Sadler Gate and looked a few menus on the way. We decided to stop and look at the menu at The Kitchen which had sandwiches, panini, burgers and salads. We stepped inside to a busy and buzzing cafe with solid wood tables and a huge cake counter. A waitress smiled and showed us to a table. I ordered a ham, cheese & caramelised onion panini which came with a handful of fries and a pot of tea. My partner had a Gourmet Angus Burger with chips and salad and a Diet Coke. Our drinks came promptly, my tea came in a pot for one with a cute bottle of milk like something out of Alice in Wonderland. Coke was in a glass bottle. We had a little wait for our food but it does state on the menu that there may be a wait for food on a Saturday due to being very busy. The table were full and people were constantly coming and going. Staff were very attentive and friendly. I was tempted by the cakes but resisted. There was a sigh saying all cakes are made by the boss on the premises. While we were sat there a person I assume is the boss came out with fresh cakes to replenish the empty spaces. I will have to go back for a pot of tea and a cake. We were not disappointed when our food came. My panini was yummy and my partners burger looked and I was told it tasted good. We finished and asked for the bill. It promptly arrived in a butter dish and I went to the counter to pay. It was a lovely lunch and extremely friendly & attentive staff.

For 10 pounds I ordered a two course meal starting with beef carpaccio with salad and then the main plate was braised Scottish beef with a nice red wine mushroom sauce. My friend had a nice pomegranate couscous dish with asparagus that was absolutely the best cous cous dish I've ever had, so much flavor and the texture was just right. The food was surprisingly amazing. It would be insulting to my french chefs to say Le Bistrot Pierre on this day was in Paris quality but it was great Parisian food type quality and presentation.

Stepping in was picturesque. A family with young kids who knew their table etiquette laughed with the sharp looking waiter while sipping wine. The decor was beautiful, with natural stone walls, laden with vintage French iconography. Approaching the podium the smart looking waiter courteously invited us in while offering to take our jackets. Very polite..a great start ,:) The wine menu was fantastic, including other spirits and imported strong beer at an average price. Flipping through the giant The Times sized menus did not leave much room..they however contained french classics..beef bourguignon, Coc a van , steaks burgers, seafood salads etc. Settling on the drinks we were asked if we wanted olives or anything..we instead requested the flat bread for £7 which came with either ham , chicken, mushroom and parmesan or goats cheese with courgette. The food seemed to take a while to come but we were provided French stick to nibble on while we waited. When it arrived, it looked good..but when I picked a piece up..it was flacid. The bottom was soggy like the dough had not been cooked...the goats cheese covered the unpleasantries and I was too hungry to argue. The main, again took awhile to arrive. My parcel of sea bass landed eventually with a side of veggies..Ripping the parcel open exposed a nice bit of fish but in a greasy sauce and over cooked tomatoes. My colleagues beef bourguignon looked good, with a rich red wine sauce but no knife was provided. Luckily the beef was tender enough to eat with a fork. Too full for dessert we finished with coffee. Which was good..overall a great ambiance, good service when they served you..but felt forgotten about sometimes and the food..well ..Cafe Rougeish?
