While many people hibernate during the winter months, canny diners know that January can be the best time to eat out, with restaurants offering impressive discounts to lure customers out of their post festive holiday haze.
We've whittled down the offers to bring you our favourites in the city - here's our top 5 January dining deals.
Quill
Recently granted a 5 star review from our resident writer Neil Sowerby, the slick newcomer to King Street is offering two courses with a glass of prosecco for just £20.16 throughout January on their impressive set menu daily from 12:00-14:30 and 17:30-18:45. Alternatively, dine after 7pm and enjoy 20 per cent off the whole bill. Booking required. Not the most generous discount on offer, but the quality of the food makes up for it.
Volta
The Lawn Club
A firm favourite of Taste of Manchester, The Lawn Club is offering 50% off food when you book ahead at their grassy idyll in the city centre. Read our recent review here.
Filthy Cow
It's the ultimate guilty pleasure - ditch the diet and chow down on 2 for 1 on all burgers at Filthy Cow throughout January. Bad for the waistline, good for the soul.
The Fitzgerald
Forget Dryanuary - it's Ginuary at The Fitzgerald this month. Choose from a range of premium gins, carefully selected from around the world, for just £5. No booking required, and offer valid during all opening hours.
