Delightful doughnuts in Manchester

Bringing the incredible qualities and tastes from food in Barcelona, Tast Cuina Catalana has served delicious food since 2018 in the city centre of Manchester. Head chef Paco Perez brings the amazing tastes and flavours from Catalonia in a cosy, contemporary and stylishly minimalist aesthetic. There are three different parts to the establishment: the bar, a casual restaurant area and a fine dining room. Hear us out, as a starter it serves ‘duck’in donuts’, a play on ‘Dunkin’ Donuts’. This is a highly recommended dish and shows why the chef’s tastes and presentation have become worthy of a Michelin star. This gluten free dish contains foie gras with one doughnut having white chocolate as a coating and the other doughnut with raspberry powder on top of it. Inside is – as you probably guessed – duck and cream. Somehow it works and is absolutely gorgeous. It is worth going to this restaurant just to try the half sweet and half savoury ‘duck’in donuts’.

Located in the heart of the Northern Quarter on Tib Street, this establishment creates some of the finest doughnuts about in Manchester.
