Restaurant Örme

Greater Manchester, Urmston - Modern British - Restaurant - £££

Ambitious tasting menus with a North-Western spin

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Very Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Very Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Good

Since launching in 2023, this bijou restaurant has proved that it can deliver ambitious food while staying true to its local roots. The spirit of the place is youthful and breezily energetic (complete with an indie rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack), while the decor is neat and clean-lined. Appropriately, the cooking is lively but serious, with bold, rich flavours coming through strongly via a choice of tasting menus – a ’core’ version (seven courses) and a ‘signature’ option (nine courses), both with seasonal and dietary adjustments. Whatever the time of year, the opening salvos (aka snacks) are a cracking way to start: in spring, that might mean a single-bite version of ‘nan’s cheese and onion pie’ and a deep-fried doughnut stuffed with soft pulled pork belly (‘I’d have happily eaten a bucketload of the latter,’ admitted one reporter). Then comes a mini truffle and chive loaf accompanied by chicken liver...

Bigger savoury courses also hit the mark, from a small fillet of sustainable coley roasted and served with parsnip purée, cubes of bacon and lovage to chicken breast cooked with Brightside Brewery’s Mancunian IPA (brewed in Radcliffe) alongside a mini-pie of long-cooked leg meat, plus Jerusalem artichoke crisps and purée. To conclude, a mix of plum sorbet, tangy yoghurt and mint caramel makes a truly delicious palate cleanser, but it pales in comparison to a milk chocolate ganache with pistachio mousse, orange cream and an orange-flavoured cracker. Service is ‘smiley and very on the ball’, while drinks include some well-matched wine pairings.
