Mash and Air
Above PragueV, entrance round the corner!
Wear the right clothes. Prepare yourself to be escorted by friendly staff to a nice table. Revel in the minimalist decor. Feel the image. Swoon at the price. Wonder what all the fuss is about as you realise it's all been done in a bit of a hurry. Wonder who picked the colour scheme (see the ceiling!) and marvel at the money they must have been paid. (It is quite nice place though). Good for watching Manchester's so-called royalty.
Lush

Very minimalist/very cold decor/California-chic menu/food OK/prices high for what's on offer. Do we really need decor where you need to keep your coat on to feel warm?
