Winsome

Winsome is a British brasserie at 74 Princess Street in central Manchester, England, listed in the Michelin Guide for hearty, seasonal cooking. Princess Street runs through the heart of the city centre, close to the Town Hall, Chinatown and the Gay Village, and the restaurant is a short walk from St Peter's Square. The cooking is British brasserie in style, with seasonal dishes built around generous plates, and a Sunday roast is a notable part of the offering. Prices are moderate at roughly £30-50 per person. Because the menu follows the seasons, specific dishes change, and visitors should expect classic British flavours presented with a contemporary touch. The room is warm and lively in the manner of a traditional brasserie, with a sociable atmosphere and moderate to high noise at busy times; there is no formal dress code. Opening hours are Monday to Saturday for lunch from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner from 17:00, with Sunday lunch served from 12:00 to 20:00, which gives flexibility for a late roast. Reservations are recommended and can be made online through the restaurant's website; Sunday lunch and Friday and Saturday evenings fill first, so booking several days ahead is wise, and earlier still for groups. The Sunday roast is the slot most likely to sell out, particularly on weekends with events in the city. Drinks are an optional addition and a bottle of wine adds to the total. Dietary requirements should be raised when booking. The central address makes Winsome convenient for visitors staying in the city centre, and it works for a relaxed pre-theatre dinner, a family lunch or a weekend meal after exploring the nearby galleries and Town Hall. For travellers wanting a comforting, recognised British meal at a fair price, it is a dependable option.
