Tucked away just off Princess Street, 10 Tib Lane is the kind of place that feels like a secret worth keeping. Opened in 2021 by a team of Manchester hospitality veterans, it quickly found its footing, bringing together a love of seasonal food, expertly crafted drinks, and a space that balances character with understated style. A mix of exposed brick, deep wood tones, and soft lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, spread across three levels, each with its own distinct feel.
The menu is shaped by the seasons, with ingredients sourced from some of the best independent producers in the region. Thoughtfully curated small plates make up the majority of the offering, each one delivering a balance of delicate flavours and bold execution. The focus here isn’t on showy techniques, but on getting the fundamentals right—dishes that feel both comforting and refined, without over-complication. Alongside the food, the drinks list champions natural, low-intervention wines and cocktails that strip things back to the essentials, letting the quality of the ingredients shine.
The ground floor bar is the perfect place for a drink before dinner, while the upper levels provide an intimate setting for long, relaxed meals. The service is knowledgeable but unfussy, striking that balance between attentiveness and letting guests set their own pace. Despite its location in the heart of the city, 10 Tib Lane feels like a place to step away from the noise—somewhere that encourages you to settle in, take your time, and enjoy every detail.
