Congratulations to this month's winner!

Rosalyn McCarthy, for the great review of Bistro 1847, Greater Manchester...

I'm not vegetarian but went to Bistro 1847 as my sister is and had recommended it. I cannot complement this restaurant enough! The food was excellent (we all had the set menu), with the courses exotic and flavourful without being too fussy, and the cocktail menu was fun and interesting. I'm not sure when I have eaten better haloumi! The staff were very natural and entertaining and the general ambiance was relaxed and stopped far short of pretention. In all, the entire experience was a joy and I heartily recommend Bistro 1847 to anyone looking for a taste of something different, vegetarian or not.
