Lina Stores has confirmed the opening date for its hotly-anticipated Manchester restaurant, and is slashing food bills in half while they get going.

The brand-new restaurant, delicatessen and Italian cocktail bar will be opening on Quay Street in just a few weeks, with a soft launch period offering 50% off food bills.

This will be the first time the beloved, decades-old London brand has headed outside of the capital, bringing fresh handmade pasta, deli-inspired antipasti, and indulgent desserts up north.

Lina Stores has now confirmed that it will be opening here in Manchester on Thursday 17 April 2026.

Blending coffee shop, delicatessen, restaurant, and bar, the new space will be styled in traditional Lina Stores shades of pastel green hues, warm timber woods, and terrazzo and timber flooring.
