Getting there is easy – busses stop almost outside, and St Peter’s Square Metrolink station is only as few minutes walk. It’s situated next to an easy so see cinema, and has a vivid orange canopy outside. Parking is limited if you want to leave your car for free, but there are several large car parks within a few minutes of the restaurant.
I rang up to book the day before we went ...
