The story
Winsome brings a refreshingly direct approach to British cooking in the heart of Manchester. The restaurant is built on the idea of Northern hospitality, offering a style of food that is generous, unfussy, and deeply rooted in tradition. Led by chef Shaun Moffat, the kitchen puts flavour and technique front and centre, letting the quality of the ingredients speak for itself.
The menus at Winsome change regularly with the seasons, shaped entirely by what is available and at its best. This commitment to seasonal, thoughtful British cooking has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin guide, a recognition that underscores the precision and care behind every plate. The drinks list is equally considered, focusing on old-world wines and classic cocktails, all served with confident, attentive service.
Located at 74 Princess Street, Winsome offers a setting that matches its food: welcoming and without pretension. The restaurant is equipped with air conditioning and offers outdoor seating, as well as wheelchair access. The space is also available for private hire, accommodating larger parties and events. Whether you are visiting for a weekday lunch or a Sunday dinner, the atmosphere remains consistently warm and relaxed.
