"Manchester's most photographed dining room — a cherry-blossom canopy over Adam and Drew Jones's contemporary Chinese cooking in Spinningfields since 2015."
About Tattu
Tattu opened in Spinningfields in 2015, founded by Manchester brothers Adam and Drew Jones, and built its name as much on its setting as its food: a dark, dramatic room with a cherry-blossom tree canopy, a symbol of luck and life that runs through the whole concept. It has since grown into a national group.
The cooking is contemporary Chinese — dim sum, sharing plates and grand mains given modern presentation and bold flavour. This is dining as a night out, where the theatre of the room is part of what you are paying for.
The Kitchen
The menu reads as modern Chinese for sharing: delicate dim sum, crispy duck, black cod and a roster of grand mains topping out at Japanese black Wagyu. The signature is the Cherry Blossom dessert — a dark-chocolate tree with candy-floss blossom and cherry sorbet over liquid nitrogen, finished at the table.
Pricing is steep: small plates and mains run roughly £15 to £40, the black Wagyu reaches £90, and dinner for two with drinks lands around £120 and up. The set daytime menu is the gentler way in.
The Room
The dining room is the headline — low light, dark surfaces and a canopy of cherry blossom overhead, built for photographs and a sense of occasion. It is loud, glamorous and social rather than intimate, with a busy bar pouring blossom-themed cocktails.
The Spinningfields address sits in Manchester's business and waterfront district. Booking ahead is essential for prime evenings and weekends, and the room rewards dressing up.
Best for Impressing Clients
The glamour, the central address and the theatre make Tattu a natural pick to impress clients or mark a milestone birthday in Manchester. The cherry-blossom room and cocktails also make it a showy anniversary dinner.
Not for
Not for diners wanting a quiet, low-key meal or value Chinese — Tattu is a loud, theatrical, expensive room where Wagyu and the scene drive the bill.
