| Les Routiers 2002 Winner Restaurant of the Year 2002 Palmiro is one of those special, small restaurant that are a well-kept secret, but have built up a loyal and enthusiastic following. Downtown Chorlton may not be the most glamorous of locations, but he menu and the cooking sing of the true Mediterranean, and the minimalist greige and red, small budget interior has now been balanced by the addition of external, pavement landscaping. Stefano Bagnoli and his wife Julie offer a monthly changing menu based on good ingredients cooked in authentic, regional styles. The July menu, for example, included Sarde in Saor from Stefano’s home city of Venice; roast beetroot and garlic lasagnette, grey mulllet salimbocca with cannellini beans; pear polenta cake with Torrone cream. They are uncompromising, unpretentious and refreshingly honest in their attentions. If further endorsements were needed, they are one of the few restaurants in the country to be endorsed by Esperya, the online, top-of-the-range Italian food and wine company. The wine list is short but interesting. Back
