Known for its extensive wine menu (need we say more?) and delicious Spanish offerings, Evuna is definitely one to take a trip to before your theatre experience.
Located conveniently on Deansgate in the city centre, it is easily reachable by both the train and tram line and walking distance from the theatres. Choose from their tasty tapas menu, or go more traditional with a paella, but you’re bound to want to jump on a plane immediately afterwards.
