Tast Catala is a love letter to Catalonia, delivered by one of Spain’s most acclaimed chefs, Paco Pérez. With an impressive six Michelin stars across his restaurants, Pérez brings a deep-rooted passion for his homeland’s cuisine, infusing every dish with a balance of tradition, refinement, and bold creativity. Located on King Street, this sleek, modern space is a world away from rustic tapas bars, offering an experience that is both elegant and welcoming.
The menu at Tast is a journey through Catalonia’s diverse landscapes, with dishes that draw inspiration from the sea, mountains, and fields. For those looking to graze, the ‘tastets’ selection delivers bite-sized delights such as duck egg with crispy fried squid, a potato soufflé with tartar sauce, and the restaurant’s cult favourite, the Duck’in Donut—a daring combination of duck liver, chocolate, and raspberry powder. Those craving something more substantial can dive into the Catalan-style rice dishes or enjoy meats and seafood prepared in the Mi Brasa charcoal oven, where Duroc pork ribs, whole fish, and prime cuts of beef are cooked to perfection.
Beyond its food, Tast Catala stands as one of Manchester’s most exciting destinations for wine lovers. With an extensive selection of Catalonian wines, this is the perfect place to discover rare bottles from the region, alongside Spanish-style gin and tonics, house cocktails, and sangria in red, white, or cava variations.
Tast offers multiple levels of hospitality—a bustling bar and terrace for casual drinks and light bites, and a more refined restaurant space upstairs where guests can settle in for an unforgettable Catalan feast. Whether you’re here for a glass of Macabeo and a plate of jamón, or a full tasting experience, Tast Catala is one of the most distinctive dining destinations in Manchester.
