Manchester is bustling with so many restaurants that it’s often easy to chase to places that are new and shiney instead of sticking to old favourites.  Equally often, that’s a false economy, and the tried and trusted establishments are the places to be, because they’re masters of occasion already.

This sentiment is particularly relevant for a number of places in Manchester who have been consistently performing – including the delicious Italian steakhouse that is Frankie & Benny’s.  When was the last time you went to a Frankie & Benny’s?

Chances are it may be some time ago, but what you’ll probably recollect is that you had a decent meal in a restaurant with a brilliant atmosphere.  Frankie & Benny’s is still doing exactly that.

Frankie & Benny’s is a New York Italian restaurant and bar, with a menu that fuses hearty Italian food with an American steakhouse and grill, it’s one of those places that makes choosing what to eat a really dilemma: I mean, how can you choose between a tasty pasta dish (like their Spaghetti Bolognese or their Mac n Cheese) and a big lump of premium steak or prime ribs?!  If that’s not enough choice, they can also knock you up a burger, hot dog, salad or wrap.  Throw in a milkshake - or, better, one of their ‘freakshakes’ which are the last word in milkshake cocktails – some swing music in the background, and you’re clearly in for a good time!

So why not head there for yourselves?  Better yet, CityCard members get £10 off in Frankie & Benny’s (excluding Saturdays).
