ITALIAN restaurant Bacaro is set to open its first venture in Manchester on the ground floor of legendary shopping emporium Afflecks on Oldham Street early in 2018. The menu is built around the idea of ‘Venetian style cicchetti and charcuterie dishes’.
Bacaro is the brainchild of co-owners Jonathan Poole and Paddy Smith from Red & Blue Restaurants. The Liverpool original launched 2014 and continues to receive rave reviews.
Poole told ToM: “We are delighted to be opening a new Bacaro in Manchester and feel very excited to be part of such an iconic and vibrantspace in the city. Afflecks is the perfect location for our new Manchester home.”
Owned by leading regional property company Bruntwood, Afflecks boasts a unique character and is home to a wide range of retailers where alternative, independent businesses flourish.
Andrea George, Bruntwood’s head of retail and leisure leasing, added: “Bacaro is going to be a very exciting addition to Afflecks. We have some truly original and inspired stalls, independent businesses and eateries on offer there and with its creative, innovative menu Bacaro will make the perfect addition.
