What was once known as the bar and terrace at Australasia in the heart of Spinningfields has been transformed into a beautiful beach bar that serves an infused selection of sushi, bento boxes, cocktails and afternoon tea better known as Sunset by Australasia. This place has the most beautiful interior, from artificial flower walls and white washed tables to pink tiled floor and blossom trees, this place looks like something that you would see on Pinterest!
As you probably know by now eating out is one of my favourite things to do on a weekend. As soon as I heard that Australasia has extended the menu I was ready to get myself booked in! This place has the most beautiful interior design and relaxed atmosphere, the staff are so friendly and the food is excellent! Australasia is located in Spinningfields, if you’re new to Manchester I would certainly take the trip to this place even if it’s just for a cocktail. The menu is quite extensive, from sushi to tapas style dishes and larger plates there is plenty of choice.
High tea at Australasia is not your typical afternoon tea but one that takes you on a pan asian experience in the heart of Manchester. Served in the bar area upstairs at Australasia, the setting is relaxed and has a summer feel to it with all the tropical plants and the white wicker furniture. I spent the afternoon with my sister and nephew so I decided to take them with me to try out the wonderful high tea at Australasia which is served in two waves, the first is savoury as you’d expect and the second is sweet. The tea includes a glass of champagne and a choice of tea from the extensive tea mention which was impressive.
Australasia in Manchester is one of the most amazing restaurants I have visited. Let’s put the food aside, the atmosphere and the interior design is just incredible and good enough to make you want to stay in there all day! This place is located in Spinningfields, in the heart of Manchester city centre and has a bar upstairs (Grand Pacific) and then the restaurant is located underground which is pretty cool. I took my husband along to try out the lunch menu which had a good selection of small dishes perfect for sharing or having a few to yourself. All the food is served as soon as it is ready making it a more casual dining experience for a mid-week lunch.
