Evuna Deansgate

You'll smell the garlic and paprika before you've even settled into one of the worn wooden chairs. This isn't your typical Deansgate dining room – the exposed brick walls and terracotta tiles transport you straight to a Barcelona side street, while the open kitchen fills the space with proper Spanish energy. The salt-baked sea bass is what built their reputation, arriving at your table like a theatrical centrepiece before being cracked open to reveal perfectly flaky fish inside. But don't sleep on the smaller plates – the jamón ibérico is properly aged, the patatas bravas have that essential crispy-fluffy contrast, and the wine list leans heavily into natural Spanish bottles that pair beautifully with everything. The outdoor tables are prime real estate when the weather cooperates.
