We celebrated my birthday with a wonderful meal at the Lime Tree restaurant in Didsbury. We had to book at short notice and we were on a tight timescale and the staff at the restaurant did everything they could to accommodate us & explain what could be provided in the time available. We had a fabulous meal and the service was exemplary to ensure we could make the most of our experience despite our lack of time. We first dined at this restaurant in 1986, the year that it opened, and it is great to see it still going strong after all these years. Proof that quality stands the test of time. Many thanks!

Another absolutely wonderful meal at The Lime Tree, it is so consistently fabulous. We went early and had the fixed menu, outstanding value. All three courses were lovely, with generous portion sizes. My main course of risotto with smoked haddock was perhaps the best risotto I ever had - and I lived in Italy for a while. Well done to all at this little gem of a place. Thanks for a lovely night.

We have been going to this restaurant for some 12 years and it never disappoints. On this occasion, we took my wife's mother for her birthday lunch. The set menu was both excellent and very good value. Stephane, Simon and all the other staff are very friendly and attentive. They all make the experience special. Looking forward to our next visit.

Unsure why I haven’t eaten more than I have at the Lime Tree as I love it! I’ve been twice recently, both being Sunday lunch. I honestly can’t improve on it, I’ve been to many in surrounding restaurants in Didsbury, Chorlton & Cheshire. This is by far the best. The chef clearly loves his/her job & it shows on the plate. Very fresh, really tasty. Price is a few pounds more then others but worth every penny. Lovely atmosphere & great waiting staff too.

We have just had a dinner at the Lime Tree. Averall food was good with a few exceptions. For the starter, I have ordered muscles. They could have had more garlic and herbs to enhance the flavour, but it was OK. My main was seabus. It was great. It had a good combination of garnishes, souce and a nice piece of seabus. The desert was supposed to be chocolate and orange torte. There was plenty of chocolate mousse, but unfortunately, there was not enough orange to be noticeable. It tasted a bit one dimensional. Even though I mentioned the two dishes that could be easily improved, we had a good time and I would recommend this restaurant to friends.

Second visit for Sunday lunch. Myself and partner both had a roast, myself the chicken him the beef.The food was lovely and chocolate soufflé that followed was also very good. Service was also good and staff are friendly.The only downside I find with the Lime tree is the atmosphere. It feels a bit like eating in a church hall. It feels a bit cold and dark, a few candles on tables and just slightly louder music and maybe another lamp in the front dining room would make a lot of difference.

Absolutely delicious lunch, probably one of the best soups I’ve ever had and the courgette fritters were delicious! All very reasonably priced too. Thank you Lime Tree!

Excellent lunch at Lime Tree, absolutely delicious and very competitively priced too. We both had the butternut squash soup which was amazing. Lots of great veggie options on the menu.
