Open from early morning until late at night, chic Podium Restaurant Bar and Lounge offers a unique perspective view of the city - and some of the finest British cuisine with a modern twist. Situated in the Hilton Manchester Deansgate hotel, its perfect for business meals and romantic occasions. The Hilton hotel towers overhead as shoppers and tourists peer in jealously through floor to ceiling glass panes. Effortlessly chic, relax in this modernist fantasy of cream leather and concrete tones. Sunday lunch is a bargain - three courses cost £19 and include prawn cocktail with cucumber, marie rose and melba toast, fresh cream of tomato soup with a goats cheese and herb toast followed by mains like slow roast leg of lamb, chicken, fillet of salmon or butternut squash risotto with all the trimmings. Revel in seasonal fruit crumble or rich dark chocolate tart with orange and mint salad and Chantilly cream with a choice from the occasion-worthy wine list.
