Local tips
- Book in advance, especially for weekends and evenings. Call 0161 819 2060 or email manchester@tattu.co.uk to secure your preferred time and discuss any special requests or dietary requirements.
- Arrive early to explore the ground floor bar and appreciate the interior design details before being seated. The cocktail programme is exceptional and worth sampling even if you're dining at a table.
- Consider the dim sum offerings during lunch service for excellent value and variety. The fixed-price lunch menu provides a curated selection of signature dishes at a more accessible price point than à la carte evening dining.
- If hosting a private event or large group, inquire about The Parlour private hire space, which offers an exclusive setting with dedicated facilities and personalised service options.
- Allow time to enjoy the theatrical presentation of dishes and the visual storytelling throughout the restaurant. This is as much a cultural and aesthetic experience as a culinary one.
