Luso lunch Deal by Denise Hopper (rated 7/10)
To cheer up a dismal wet Sunday afternoon my husband & I decided to sample the lunchtime deal at Luso's which consisted of a starter,a main course & a bottle of wine for 2 people costing a total of £44.After sampling the delicious rose wine we were asked if we would like bread with the meal. This came as a selection of 3 different breads with 3 small pots of spreads (sardine,goat's cheese & a flavoured butter )The bread was not fresh but the spreads compensated somewhat.Our starters of salt cod & egg on a shredded bed of potatoes were tasty.The main course of chicken piri piri arrived in a tasty sauce.My husband asked for some bread to eat with his main course, declining the accompanying 3 spreads.
It wasn't until we'd left the restaurant that we realised we'd been billed a total of £7.90 for '2 breads'.We are regular visitors to good quality restaurants both in the UK & on frequent travels around the world ( just recently dining at the Michelin star restaurant at the Negresco in Nice )& have to say that we were dismayed by such an inflated charge for bread after being offered it after we'd placed our order.
Why is it that bread & water are not offered as standard in many British restaurants or failing that an explicit charge be included to the bill?

Delightful Dining by Lise Raper (rated 10/10)
My first experience of Portugese cuisine and hospitality and I was definitely not disappointed. Amazing food from starter to dessert. Every meal was a real taste sensation! A perfect atmosphere and excellent customer service to match....Dining at Luso is a real must when visiting Manchester.

Luso is lovely by Greg (rated 10/10)
The food at Luso is so good that it should make the chain restaurants in Spinningfields round the corner ashamed of themselves. At last, real originality, real flair and real, honest value. This is , quite simply, one of the best restaurants in town and with any justice they'll be here for many years to come.

Try Luso, it's brilliant by Mary Kent (rated 9/10)
We ate at Luso for my birthday this year and I was really glad we did. The food was lovely and made a great change from the Indian-Chinese-Italian-Thai circle you get locked into in Manchester. I had the assiette of fish, which was gorgeous – best fish I’ve had in the city so far, much better than some of the fish restaurants I’ve been in. Don’t really know Portuguese food that well but I’ll definitely be exploring it again after seeing what Luso has on offer
