Dining out in Manchester? One of our fave places for afternoon tea is The Library Champagne Bar at The Edwardian.

Are you something of an exhibitionist when it comes to eating scones? You’re in luck, then: looks The Library Champagne Bar looks out over Peter Street, putting you in full view of passers-by as you sip your tea, which may not appeal to everyone. The Artisan Finger Sandwiches are an impressive and surprisingly filling distraction, however, especially when they’re packed this generously with top quality smoked salmon. The scones, served with jam and clotted cream, are perfectly light, and the minted pomegranate and hazelnut choux is just right, too.

Perfect for a light bite or friends brunch.

Really hungry? Stay for a sit down meal and order from the à la carte menu, which includes more robust fare along the lines of cod-fed chicken club sandwiches, lemon basil risotto with creamy burrata, along with which, why not add a signature cocktail or a cask ale. So if beautiful books and dimmed lighting is more your vibe, The Library Champagne Bar at The Edwardian is the perfect place and the hotel’s second signature restaurant.
