Malmaison Deansgate Bar & Grill

Malmaison Deansgate Bar & Grill is a confident operation serving prime grass-fed British beef and popular classics. The menu veers towards traditional rather than adventurous but great wines and well-aged, matured steaks mean that doesn’t matter.

The restaurant has a look that manages to be at once comfortable and clubby, yet bold too, with striking modern art centrepieces and rich jewel-like colours.

It’s an all-day operation covering everything from breakfast and coffee through to lunchtime sandwiches and Sunday roasts then inventive cocktails and evening dining – the restaurant is open till 10pm on weekends.

As well as the grill, it offers dishes such as half a roasted corn fed chicken with herb salad, braised ox cheek with glazed carrots and creamy mash, and blackened Cajun salmon with jambalaya rice, chorizo and tiger prawns.
