About El Gato Negro
The El Gato Negro Tapas Website
Our home in Manchester is a historic three storey townhouse on King Street, in the heart of the city. Beautifully converted, it opened in 2016. The ground floor features al fresco pavement dining, and an evocative bar and dining space. The middle floor offers a mix of restaurant table and seating options, plus the chef’s table for extra thrill and theatre by our open kitchen. The top floor features a stunning terrace with retractable roof.
Location
Nestled on the vibrant King Street, just a short stroll from the bustling city centre and only a five-minute walk from the Hotel Gotham Manchester, where we stayed, the Tapas restaurant boasts a lively atmosphere paired with exceptional culinary offerings.
Spread over three distinct levels, the dining experience is elevated further during warmer months when guests can indulge in outdoor seating, allowing for a delightful tapas experience that truly captures the essence of shared dining and conviviality.

The drinks menu was decent, featuring draught beers, cocktails, gins, and a respectable wine selection. However, as we were eating at a tapas restaurant, the best thing was that there was no PROSECCO on the menu!!!
We were going to go for the Cava, but as it was a special occasion, our kids surprised us and bought a bottle of Bollinger Special Cuvée NV, Champagne, which was waiting at the table.
Service
The service provided was truly exceptional, leaving no room for criticism at any stage of the process, from start to finish.
Tips
