Australasia in Manchester

I would recommend this for group dining where you all choose a number of small dishes to taste.The ingredients are fresh and the flavours wonderful.The staff are very attentive and they have a separate menu for people with allergies listing what is in each dish so you can make sure everyone is able to eat.Absolutely great night here with friends.

Truffle magic🥟On my last reel on Instagram, I had dinner @australasia_mcr with my colleagues in Manchester. Among all the starters, I found the Tofu and Shiitake dumpling was good enough for a post.WHAT WE GOT Oyster🍣Maki Roll - Tuna, pineapple, spring onion with sriracha🍣Tempura Roll - Korean Chicken🍱Mixed Sushi & Sashimi🥑Tempura Avocado⚪️Roast Scallops🥟Tofu & Shiitake dumplings🦐Garlic Spiced Prawns🍆Roasted Aubergines🐟Grilled Sea Bass FilletFor the cold dishes, Oyster was the best as it’s very fresh. However, the rolls were too tight just like making by machine and the tuna was not fresh😢For the hot dishes, dumplings were the best. However, all the others were ok except the aubergines which were over roasted and the skins were burnt and hard😢The dumplings were boiled with silky soft skin. The tofu and shiitake filling was tasty. The truffle added a extra level of richness and depth to a bite. This is the magic of truffle.See more reviews on Instagram @ccgyozalover🤗

Stunning interior, feels so calm and relaxing as soon as you go in. Staff are friendly and attentive. Tables are nicely spaced out. Not too into Sushi but lots more on the menu. Food was yum and dessert was great. Portions just felt a bit small for the price. Nice little treat as it’s fine dining, would come back for an occasion.

Amazing!!!!!! We will definitely be returning when back in Manchester our waiter was named Uddie. She was so warm and welcoming and couldn’t help us enough when choosing what delicious food to have from the menu. Recommend trying the local food selection, instead of going from the starters and mains section. Aesthetics we’re out of this world.

Sue and I not only had the best food and drink but we had the best time at Australasia. From start to finish we had amazing cocktails, the tapas was sensational and our host was Anna. She was hilarious, she had such a lovely way about her and her knowledge of all the food, what it goes with and how its cooked was incredible. She made the whole experience fantastic. We can't wait to come back and bring others to share a guaranteed great experience.

Hands down the best restaurant I’ve visited all year. Look at the photos! They even gave my girlfriend a birthday card.Will absolutely be coming back next time in I’m Manchester. Thank you guys!

Great food and great place. Quite disappointed with the service on my last visit however. We had a table booked, yet when we arrived two staff members fumbled about looking worried, as if we hadn't been allocated a table for our time slot already. Once seated, service was very friendly but also very slow. The food also took ages to arrive. Give the benefit of the doubt, maybe they were understaffed both in waiting staff and in the kitchen. From here on though, the friendly service became slower and more disinterested. After a desert and cocktails, it was as if our waiter had disappeared. We were left sat as the rest of the restaurant slowly emptied. At one point I felt like we could easily get up and walk out without anyone batting an eye. After catching the eye of another waiter and asking for the bill, our waiter returned 15 minutes later, acknowledged that we wanted the bill and went to get it. As I say, the food was great and the atmosphere is nice down there, but when you're paying £150+ for a meal for two, I expect better service from start to finish.

Modern Australian/Asian cuisine. Taster menu offers best way to try various dishes. Staff informative and helpful, cocktails a little expensive but worth it for a special occasion.

The food here was absolutely delicious and so were the recommended wines. The service was a little slow and we ended up with our food arriving before our drinks hut overall we really enjoyed it.

Excellent meal, definitely worth the price. The ambience and food were both wonderful and the staff were attentive. Would definitely recommend ordering multiple small plates to try as much as possible. Unfortunately, the dessert Bento Box wasn't available when we went but the desserts we ordered were still amazing. Would recommend to anybody!
