Volta - Manchester

This cozy and intimate restaurant serves small plates that are well presented with quick and good service. While the food didn't meet my high expectations based on reviews, I will definitely return to try other dishes. The roast potatoes were outstanding, the shawarma was very good, and the pitta was soft and enjoyable. However, the steak was too charred for my taste, and I didn't care for the sauce. The halloumi was disappointing due to the sauce, and the courgette was bland and tough. The feta dip was okay but not something I would order again. I'm glad I took advantage of the 3 for £15 lunch offer available until 5pm on weekdays.

On a separate visit in the summer of 2023, I was disappointed with my experience at Volta. I had high expectations for the food, but it did not meet them. Although I had enjoyed a glass of cava there before and appreciated the nice atmosphere and seating options, my steak was overcooked and tough, the coffee was lacking in flavor, and the service was not up to par. I hope to give this restaurant another try in the future, but for now, I believe there are other restaurants in the area that offer better service and food quality.

Always great food, service and atmosphere. Would recommend for most occasions.

2nd time visiting here and amazing as the first!! Food is so fresh and flavourful

It isn't the cheapest place, and being a Burton Road establishment it's not large either, so if you're visiting at a busy time (Fridays and the weekends from experience , it's worth booking. But it's it worth going? Oh yes! A fantastic selection of small dishes (think tapas, but not specifically Spanish there's influences from all over here , complemented by an excellent selection of inventive cocktails (as well as wine and a nice beer selection, if that's more your thing . Vegan options are rather slim, but there's a good vegetarian selection (my other half is willing to compromise for a night out, thankfully! . The staff are fantastic friendly and happy to recommend pairings of dishes and drinks, and the quality does not disappoint.
