Closed door at El Gato Negro
Re-opened for business
NewsThe news you’ve been waiting for… our doors reopen at 6pm this evening, after a short and refreshing summer break in Manchester, Barcelona and beyond. The restaurant is open as usual this evening, then again on Saturday from 6pm, then we will be open through from Tuesday 6pm. It’s good to be back!
The team is ready and we’re launching with a brand-new food menu. Although we’re hoping summer’s not completely over yet, this menu sets us up perfectly to embrace the shorter days ahead, with a range of exciting new dishes. You can browse the whole menu here… as well as the desserts menu we launched last month.
We are also very excited to be launching our brand-new wine menu, which we have been trailing and testing for some time in anticipation of unveiling it. We have significantly increased the number of wines (almost all of which are Spanish), and it’s jam-packed with incredible (and sometimes exclusive) wines. As Simon says…
We’ll shortly be adding a dedicated new wines page to the website; in the meantime you can view/download a PDF of the full new wine list here.
And, as we’ve hinted before we have a series of new tasting events coming up in the autumn and early winter. There’s one per month and they’re going to be rather special… so keep your eyes peeled as we’ll be announcing them next week to newsletter subscribers and our followers on social media and here on the website!
Summer break
NewsIt’s that time of the year when we mix R&R with R&D, so we’re closing for our summer break. Our last day of service is Thursday 7th Aug and we reopen on Friday 29th August. In between you can find us popping up in Manchester on a couple of days at #Upinyourgrill, and further afield making notes in our beloved Barcelona.
We’ll be working on our new menu and our much-vaunted wine list refresh too. It’s been hard work tracking down so many incredible Spanish wines and every time we’ve thought we’ve cracked it, we stumble on another brilliant small producer! However we’re ready to unveil some stunning new wines when we reopen.
Plus we have a couple of new tasting events coming up in the autumn too… keep your eyes peeled as we’ll be announcing them when we return from our recess!
