It has big ambitions as a super-luxe dining and drinking experience for the city - and it has prices to match
Ambitious new Japanese fine dining restaurant MUSU is about to open in Manchester city centre. The dazzling new venue will open to the public on Friday, but we headed for a sneak preview to see the stunning interiors of the venue on Bridge Street this weekend.
The dazzling video wall is what guests will first see when they walk into the new venue, through its glossy all-black exterior on Bridge Street. The wall will beam changing scenes of Japan, from towering cityscapes to tranquil mountain scenes. The centrepiece of the dining experience here will be the 7-course and 11-course Kaiseki tasting menus. The ambitions for the dining are clear in the pricing here - at £110 for the 7-course menu and £150 for the 11-course menu placing it immediately among the most expensive restaurants in Manchester.
MUSU is the brainchild of Manchester duo Vincent Braine, 39, and Marius Kamara, 41, who were the men behind Suede and the Milton Club in the city. The Japanese theme continues with the after-dinner sessions on Thursday, Fridays and Saturdays when MUSU will from 11pm til 4am for "Nijikai" - a late night concept with restaurant-style table service, minimum table spend and the option of late night small plates from the Izakaya menu.
Vincent, who grew up in Gorton, and Marius, from Chorlton, first got into the hospitality scene as club promoters before working there way up to club bosses. Vinnie says: "This is our passion, and through our travels and experiences and being proud Mancunians, we wanted to bring this to our city.
