Adam Reid at The French has introduced a new Initials menu, designed to be a shorter, more accessible version of his main Signature menu, available on Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout August for a perfect midweek treat.
Using only the finest seasonal produce available, the food at The French is known across the city and beyond for its exquisite flavours. The set tasting menu of modern British cuisine showcases the creative culinary talents of Manchester’s own Adam Reid.
Adam Reid joined The French back in 2013 as Head Chef, before taking over as Chef-Patron in 2016. Since then, he has been awarded 4 AA rosettes, as well as going on to win BBC’s prestigious Great British Menu competition twice, with his dessert Golden Empire in 2016, and his main course ‘Comfort Food Sounds Good’ in 2019.
The Initials menu has been created to provide a taste of Adam Reid at The French, with two optional drinks pairings – Tipsy or Not So Tipsy. Current dishes include Peter’s courgette blossom with eel & tongue, Barbecued salt marsh lamb from the Rhug Estate with Wirral courgette & gravy and Baked English custard with mint & Cheshire strawberry.
Adam Reid said, “I appreciate that not everyone wants to experience a full tasting menu midweek, this new special menu has been created to cater for those who still want a taste of The French but don’t want a late night! We’re running the Initials menu throughout July and August, with matching drinks available, and will continue to offer our Signature menu throughout.”
Bookings for the Initials menu are not available through the main website, but can be booked here.
The Initials Menu is £75 per person, with the Tipsy drinks pairing £40 per person and Not So Tipsy £30 per person.
