Sitting above the city on the seventh floor of the stylish Malmaison Manchester Deansgate hotel, Sora offers a panoramic feast for the senses. This rooftop gem in Manchester dazzles with its exquisite pan-Asian cuisine and breathtaking city views.

The menu, a symphony of sushi, robatayaki, and seasonal delights, is a testament to culinary artistry. Highlights include the delicate sashimi platters and the irresistible tempura tiger prawns with special mention of their decadent afternoon tea that tastes as good as it looks.

Sora is not just a meal; it’s an elevated dining experience that redefines luxury so Minipreneur couldn’t help but feel excited about the evening ahead.

First up were some cocktails to get the party started. The Miso Old Fashioned made with Toki Whisky, miso and Angostura bitters was a clever take on a classic with its Asian twist.

When it comes to food, Sora Rooftop Bar offers guests small plates from an irresistible selection of sushi, Robatayaki and pan-Asian style tapas. First up were some delectable skewers of Black Cod with a miso glaze.

For some ocean freshness, we chose the zesty Sea Bass Crudo marinated with orange, yuzu, soy, sesame and nasturtium oil.

Vegans will love the Japanese Aubergine with black garlic, truffle, whipped tofu, crispy shallots and citrus dressing.

Those with a sweet tooth will have trouble resisting the Stem Ginger Marshmallow with Almond Crumb & Chocolate Sauce.

A far cry from your typical Asian-inspired cocktail bar, the ambiance at Sora, enhanced by live DJ sets and the twinkling cityscape, makes this Mancunian rooftop bar the perfect spot for a romantic evening with a loved one or a sophisticated night out for friends and family.
