Our Lounge

Bottle-green Benito Lounge sits very pretty in the heart of Chorlton’s high street. We make the most of our lovely corner site, with great big full-height windows that open out onto the street and a generous outside terrace for those sunny Manchester days!

Our food and drink includes gluten-free, vegan and kids full menus, served in our relaxed, welcoming interior with old floral wallpaper and enough paintings to fill a gallery – including our rather huge and handsome knight. This of course, makes him a knight to remember. Sorry.
