  best for food on canal street

  Current

  Velvet must be the best place on Canal Street to eat. Unlike the other places offering burgers and beer (ok I know that they're not meant to be fine eateries) Velvet is a little place of luxury. Going down the steps you walk over a glass-topped fish tank and you are invariably greeted at the bottom by one of their lovely waiting staff. On a Saturday night it was busy but we hadn't booked and luckily were early enough (6pm) to be seated straight away. My steak and chips were huge and were followed up by the chocolate purse dessert which was stunning. Brilliant champagne cocktails finished the meal off wonderfully, under 50 quid for 2 people, including wine. Fantastic value for delicious meals and a night to remember.

  Cool location and great value food

  Current

  A bitterly cold winter's day in Manchester, I stumbled through the door of Velvet looking for somewhere warm that served food.
  
  The interior is what you'd expect from the name - rather plush, although not overwhelmingly so. The staircase is great - you walk across a glass topped fish tank! We were immediately greeted by a very friendly and helpful waiter.
  
  Food was good value, tasty and exceedingly generous portion sizes - I had possibly the largest club sandwich (and one of the best!) of my life, along with a mountain of fries and an excellent salad, and it only cost just over a fiver!
  
  Despite being tucked away in a basement, on this winter day the place was doing a steady trade with an assortment of people from all age groups - no doubt the place's reputation precedes it.
