According to chef/proprietor Eric Moreau, 63 degrees is not only the perfect temperature for coffee, but also a touchstone for cooking in the modern idiom – hence the name of this Parisian-style bistro in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Menus are written in French (with English translations) and the kitchen adheres to its culinary credo with the likes of pan-fried scallops, caramelised fennel and vegetable shavings followed by entrecôte steak with béarnaise sauce and vegetable ‘bayaldi’ or chicken breast (cooked at 63 degrees, of course) with gratin dauphinoise and a sauce of morels. To finish, look no further than fraisier revisité (a strawberry cake baked at the aforementioned temperature). Two-course weekday lunches are good value, a five-course tasting menu is available on Tuesdays, and the concise all-French wine list does its job.
