Brazilian chef Caroline Martins has the perfect new home for her eye-catching high-end food. After running wildly successful pop-ups in Manchester venues such as Exhibition and Blossom Street Social – not to mention making a name for herself on Great British Menu – she and her husband Tim have opened their own place, Calcio, on Dale Street in the Northern Quarter.

This welcoming bar-restaurant is the kind of place you can visit every day of the week and enjoy something entirely different each time. You’ll find fun-packed quizzes, live sports and retro game consoles, even an adorable resident pooch. Best of all, you can dive headfirst into Caroline’s remarkable 12-course tasting menu downstairs at Sampa.
