The Lowry - The Quays, Salford

My wife and I had afternoon tea it was fabulous , our daughter Joanne paid for it for our Wedding Anniversary , my Wife Carole said she felt so pampered , it was really special . we will definitely come again and recommend to all our friends ,

The Lowry is an arts centre, full of exhibitions, art installations, a theatre and galleries. A treat after a trip to the theatre was having a meal at The Lowry’s Pier Eight restaurant. Pier Eight has a setting of waterside views. It was nice to have lots of time to relax while dining, to chat and reflect on how enjoyable the show was.

Now this place is truly nice and the lunch was very good and the staff cannot do enough for you. Great place well recommended. Good luck to you all and Thank you.

The Lowry Bar and Restaurant is The Lowry's own (you've guessed it) Bar and Restaurant. The Lowry does have lots of chains including Lime Bar, Pizza Express, Harvester and Costa but still, I decided to come in here and have a coffee, and admire the view of Media City. They didn't mind me sitting outside on the ocean front and eating my own cake, which I bought from the food fair which was good. The coffee was small and it came to around that for £6 and a cider for my friend, I found this to be quite expensive as the coffee was around £3 on its own, and although I did enjoy it, I could of got one that represented better value for money at so many places within minutes of a walk away. This is mainly a bar and restaurant however I wouldn't eat here, I would rather opt for Pizza Express and the Lime Bar through past experience of being gluten free and because the pricing is through the roof. I have to give 2 stars for the view and the coffee being satisfactory but due to the pricing and when inside, it feeling like a cheap cafe (certainly not) I wouldn't come here again.

Loved the place, the ultra modern building, the lovely friendly, helpful staff. What's not to like.
