We are Ning

The Concept

Ning restaurant, cookery school and catering service has been established in Manchester’s bustling Northern Quarter since 2006.

Style and simplicity, quality and value, individuality and hospitality - these are the values that stand Ning out from the crowd . Set within a simple but chic venue and served by friendly waiting staff, Ning is influenced in concept by the trendy noodle bars of Asian cities, with the relaxed and sociable ambience of continental European cafés. Our aim is to be authentic and stylish without pretension.

We are a no-smoking, welcoming and inclusive venue.
