Elnecot
Elnecot in the Ancoats neighbourhood is the ideal pre-match dinner for fans heading to the Etihad, serving creative modern British sharing plates in a warm, buzzing room that attracts Manchester's sports media, visiting players' families, and savvy local football fans. The proximity to the Etihad Campus — a short taxi ride away — and the quality of the wood-fired cooking make it a cut above the typical stadium-area dining options. On midweek Champions League nights, the room hums with an energy that feels very specifically Manchester.

Hawksmoor Manchester
Set in a stunning former courthouse on Deansgate, Hawksmoor Manchester is one of the UK's finest steakhouses. Fans celebrating a big match day treat themselves to 35-day dry-aged British beef and classic cocktails. The Sunday roast is a post-match institution for visiting supporters.
