Now as I’m sure you’ll soon discover one of my greatest passions is food (as well as chocolate, wine, movies, Eastenders – sorry) and I love nothing better than popping down to La Tasca, I’m lucky because I have two branches very close in Manchester city centre & the Trafford centre.

Advantages: Yummy food, great atmosphere, cheap Disadvantages: Tiny plates
...better than popping down to La Tasca, I’m lucky because I have two branches very close in Manchester city centre & the Trafford centre. I’m not normally a fan of chain restaurants because I think they tend to get complacent and churn out so much of the same stuff the quality plummets. **** The Place ****
My favourite branch of La Tasca is on Deansgate in Manchester, it’s just like stepping into a real Spanish tavern (‘La Tasca’ means the tavern), ... ...suit our lifestyle. At La Tasca the idea is to order lots of tiny little dishes depending on how hungry you are.

Advantages: Friendly, tasty and reasonably priced Disadvantages: While intimate, lacks some of intimacy of Manchester branch during the day

I've beeen going to the LaTasca in Manchester (Deansgate) for quite a while, however, it took me 2 years before I realsied that there was one in Liverpool (near Paradise street bus station),where I live... Doh!
I've now been to the Liverpool one quite a few times and have found it to be inferior to the one in Manchester in only one respect, the Manchester branch seems more intimate. The reason for this is that the Manchester one is iunderneath an officeblock so out of necessity has no windows and so is completely candle lit.
However, apart from this one point I have found the food and friendliness of service to be consistant.
One thing that disappointed me on visiting the Liverpool branch...

Recently, my hectic student lifestyle has been playing havoc with my natural good looks (!) Endless parties, drinking and late nights have resulted in me acquiring a rather nice set of, what looks like, black eyes. Well, okay, if I’m honest,... more
I stayed at the Tulip Inn (Trafford Centre) early in August as the Arctic Monkeys were playing at Lancashire Cricket Ground.
When we arrived the car park was quite full but had plenty of spaces, even though the hotel very obviously very busy.
