Following on from three Greater Manchester restaurants being included the Inspector’s latest additions to the Michelin Guide, another dining spot in Manchester has now joined the infamous list. Of the restaurants featured in the September edition of the Inspectors’ latest additions in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain & Ireland was ‘wine-led’, rooftop restaurant Climat in Manchester city centre.
From the team behind Chester’s Michelin Guide restaurant, Covino, Climat has the become the go-to wine hotspot in the city and is situated on the eighth floor of Manchester office building, Blackfriars House. Named after the term for a specific vineyard site in Burgundy, Climat is a 100-cover rooftop restaurant featuring a ‘contemporary Parisian-style’ aesthetic and over 250 wines from across the world.

The Michelin Guide said: “You have to be in the know to come across Climat, tucked away on the eighth floor of a city centre office building. You arrive at a dedicated entrance and make your way up to the chic penthouse, where stunning city views await you.
“An open kitchen is the focus of the room, with its aromas filling the air, and the concise fixed-price menu includes well-executed dishes such as halibut with spinach and sorrel velouté, where the ingredient quality shines through. Wine is a feature with one side of the room acting as a bar and the carefully curated list deftly mixing traditional and modern styles.”
