Cool Cocktails and Creative Cooking

The Modern, the cosy, intimate bar and restaurant nestled at the top of Urbis, has been honoured in the prestigious Which? Good Food Guide 2010, which lists a careful selection of just 1,200 establishments throughout Great Britain and features as one of just 11 Manchester restaurants given a full listing!

The team at Urbis, who run The Modern, are understandably delighted, and with a listing which speaks of The Modern offering ‘verve, cocktails and cooking with intent’ with drinks in the Bar ‘some of the finest in the city’, who wouldn’t be? It’s a great addition to a year which has brought a number of awards and nominations including Tourism Bar of the Year and the Taste of Manchester awards, and is an indication of just how hard they’ve worked since its opening in 2007.

Thom Hetherington, (Managing director of Moorfield Media, responsible for the Northern Restaurant & Bar and Northern Hospitality Awards) said it was “A big success for a very Mancunian, local and regional dining experience.”

And Vaughan Allen, Chief Executive at Urbis, expressed his thoughts on getting into the guide, “Our presence in the guide…shows we have achieved a place in the hearts, minds and stomachs of the restaurant-goers of the city and the north-west.”

Visit The Modern, on the 5th&6th floors of Urbis and sample the fantastic cocktails and new Taste of Manchester menu!

And with the results of the Manchester Food and Drink Festival being announced on Monday 12 October watch this space to see whether we collect the prestigious Restaurant of the Year and Chef of the Year Awards.
