Bar Shrimp, Manchester M1: ‘This is meaningful, highly adept cooking’ – restaurant review | Grace Dent on restaurants

Bar Shrimp, a new restaurant on New York Street in Manchester, has received a glowing review for its 'meaningful, highly adept cooking' and unique atmosphere. Opened by chef Joseph Otway, sommelier Daniel Craig Martin, and general manager Richard Cossins, who previously worked together at Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York State, the establishment offers a menu of refined seafood and aquatic-themed dishes. Despite its impressive culinary lineage and connection to their own Cinderwood Market Garden farm, Bar Shrimp maintains a discreet, 'quietly sceney' New York vibe, reminiscent of 1980s films, without overt namedropping of its high-profile origins or the team's acclaimed neo-bistro, Higher Ground, next door.
