                      Walrus 
                        Canteen Manchester - reader comments |   
                  |  "Walrus 
                    would not be my usual sort of place for Saturday lunch but 
                    we went there after seeing it in the Restaurants of Manchester 
                    Top 10 list. As said previously, this is a bar with a restaurant, 
                    rather than a restaurant, and it has a trendy Asian 
                    fusion menu. We chose two types of bento boxes, which 
                    contained a very tasty mini-banquet style meal, including 
                    a range of fish, prawns and chicken, and all three of us were 
                    very satisfied with the meal. The boxes range in price from 
                    about £12-14, which might seem high, but they proved 
                    to be good value. There are also plenty of 
                    lower priced dishes. Another plus is the great range 
                    of drinks available, including the likes of Blue 
                    Moon beer from Colorado. The place is very modern 
                    in style, but the owners need to be thinking about 
                    spending a bit of money on keeping it fresh, because the furnishing 
                    and decor are starting to need some attention - probably not 
                    an issue at busy times but definitely quite noticeable when 
                    the place is fairly quiet. One big compliment goes to the 
                    excellent barman, who looked after us exceptionally 
                    well. Overall, Walrus is definitely recommended!"

                  |   "Although 
                      primarily a bar, rather than a restaurant, the food being 
                      served at Walrus is amongst the best Japanese cuisine Manchester 
                      has to offer. The menu was created by ex-Nobu chef Paul 
                      Day and the quality of the Bento Boxes, Donburi rice bowls 
                      and Oriental seafood dishes is as good as any you'll find 
                      at Manchester's celebrated Japanese restaurants. The prices 
                      are also inviting and the informal canteen style makes it 
                      the ideal place to grab a bite to eat with friends, over 
                      fantastic drinks. We love Walrus!"
