Wanted to treat my mum to a nice meal so took her to Albert’s in Didsbury. On arrival we were ignored by a very nervous looking waiter and my mum thought he was very rude. However we were quickly greeted by the hostess who sat us in the bar while our table was cleared. While in the bar we had some drinks, I had a lovely hazelnut latte and my mum had a pomegranate mocktail. Both were great. We were shown to our table and greeted by our server Mike. Mike was very friendly and helpful. The table was perfect, near the pass. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and was lovely and warm! Many restaurants seem to be quite cold so I was happy to be so cosy. We shared the Lamb croquette as a starter. I thought it was beautifully presented and tasted nice but was missing some piquancy. Perhaps some lemon juice in the cauli puree? Next I had the steak frites with peppercorn sauce. The steak was good, slightly over for my taste but still delicious. I ate the whole thing! My mum had the chicken pappardelle which was also delicious. Very happy with the mains. For dessert I had the mini frangipani tart. It was mini! Tbf it was the perfect size for my appetite, I don’t think I could have managed anything larger! It was absolutely delicious. My mum had the orange chocolate cheesecake, also very very good! Overall a great visit and my mum loved it, which is the main thing. Recommend for a nice lunch/dinner
