Description: Jack Spratt in Manchester’s John Dalton Street should be at the very top of everyone’s list to try as soon as possible. That is, if you haven’t tried it already! This little gem of a restaurant is fast becoming one of the North West’s top dining spots. Jack Spratt is a relaxed café style vibe serving the finest fresh foods; it really is like something you’d find on the continent; “the days of clinical, sanitised, samey chain restaurants are coming to an end…people want something different and that’s what we offer” say Marcus Emadi.The Emadi brothers opened this venue in 2010 they have created is a wonderful, warm and friendly place with beautiful food. “We want people to come into Jack Spratt and relax. Not feel that they are being rushed to accommodate for the next customers. It is this attitude that makes us different from our local competitors.” “We are independent of any chain we only employ staff that share our ethos that the customer comes first and even though it’s important to make Jack Spratt a fun place to be.”The evening menu is great value, the average spend per person with wine being around £20 and at lunch time their £6 burgers are said to be the best in town. Their menu is fun, interactive and eclectic with sharing platters, decadent mains and their legendary Sweet Potato and Feta Burger, one of the many vegetarian friendly dishes available. When you walk in you are immediatley clear of their vision and of what they are trying to achieve. The décor is cosy, warm and quirky; there is no way you can’t be seduced by it. Serving lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday, their dishes are varied and different–whether you are lunching over antipasti and salads with friends or having a large family meal with wine and beers on an evening whilst listening to some great music, it really does cater for everyone and their relaxed attitude a breath of fresh air

Most of us had burgers and they were all absolutely brilliant. Heard from others on the table that they enjoyed their chocolate lamb dish too. Staff highly entertaining and attentive. Will recommend

Literally from start to finish everything in this restaurant was flawless.... My lamb belly dish was one one of the nicest meals i have eaten in a long while. My partner absolutely loved her pear risotto. Fantastic value for money. In my opinion, top 3 best restaurants in Manchester at the moment

Ate last week at this restaurant. Lamb mole was top notch. Blackened steak was probably the best most inventive steak dish I have ever had. Definitely will return soon

Both of us had 3 courses & a few drinks, total bill was £60 ...... not bad at all. Food was really nice & obviously freshly cooked. The service was good until it got busy, we then had to re-ask for our ordered drinks & had to go to the bar to pay or we may have still been sat... More

We went there to have lunch. Beautiful little restaurant, situated in the city centre with a view on St Ann's church, gorgeous decoration, very friendly, relaxed staff, quick and cheap service, amazing cheap burgers (if you go for the lunch deal), ... We adored it!

The food was delicious; we had the a la carte evening menu. Service (a little dizzy) but very welcoming and friendly. Decor and layout - vintage. Overall excellent experience.

had lunch here last week and really enjoyed it, reasonably priced and very enjoyable. Just off the Deansgate in Manchester and you need to watch out for it as you'd not know it was there. I had the burger and my wife had the pulled pork sandwich, both really nice and a good portion size. highly recommended for lunch.
