El Gato Negro

Amidst the iconic structures and bustling streets of Manchester, there exists a portal to the vibrant flavors and ambiance of Spain — El Gato Negro. This isn't just any dining establishment; it's a rooftop experience that transports you to the winding lanes of Andalusia, the coastal vibes of Valencia, and the culinary heart of Madrid, all while giving you a bird's eye view of Manchester.

From Historic Cotton Mill to Culinary Destination

Housed in a historic three-storey building that once echoed with the sounds of Manchester's thriving cotton industry, El Gato Negro has transformed this space into a gastronomic haven. While its interiors resonate with the charm of the past, the rooftop is all about contemporary comfort, combined with a touch of Spanish flair.

A Rooftop like No Other

Stepping onto the rooftop of El Gato Negro, you are immediately greeted by a laid-back yet sophisticated atmosphere reminiscent of a Spanish terrace. Black and white mosaic tables, ambient lighting, and lush greenery set the tone for a relaxed evening. The retractable roof ensures that whether you're basking in the summer sun or seeking warmth on a chillier evening, the setting remains perfect.

The real show-stopper, however, is the view. The Manchester skyline, with its eclectic mix of historic and modern architecture, unfolds before you, providing a visual treat as you sip on a glass of Tempranillo or indulge in a tapa.

A Culinary Journey to Spain

El Gato Negro isn't just about the ambiance; it's a sensory journey to Spain. The menu is a curated selection of tapas, each dish narrating a story from a different part of the Iberian Peninsula. From the rich and earthy flavors of a slow-cooked beef dish to the light and zesty notes of a fresh seafood selection, the culinary offerings are as diverse as they are delicious.

Complementing the food is an impressive array of wines and cocktails. The wine list, predominantly Spanish, has been carefully selected to elevate the dining experience. And for those looking for something a bit more spirited, the cocktails, infused with Spanish ingredients and Manchester's energy, hit the right note.
