Hotly-anticipated new Lina Stores confirms Manchester opening date – and 50% off food

Not long to wait now!

Daisy Jackson - 2nd April 2025

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.

You’ll find bespoke marble tables, original vintage Bentwood chairs, dark green booth seating and opaline globe lighting inspired by the original Brewer Street delicatessen.

The amenu will feature everything from Italian-inspired breakfasts like truffle scrambled eggs, to pasta dishes like 30-egg yolk taglioni, to salads, freshly-made panini, and delicate cakes and pastries in the open-plan delicatessen.

The 150-cover, open-kitchen restaurant will be open seven days a week, with a coffee and cocktail bar specialising in aperitivo, Bar Lina, beside it.

To celebrate its opening in Manchester, Lina Stores is offering a limited number of 50% off food bookings, available during its soft launch from 11 to 16 April. To be in with a chance of securing a soft launch booking, you can sign up HERE.
