Pinchjo's

Pinchos at Pinchjo's...

Pinchjo's, of West Didsbury, owned by Joe Maddocks, is bringing a ray of Spanish sunshine to Burton Road. Following the traditions of the Basque region in Spain, Joe has opened a unique venture. Pinchjo's isn't just a restaurant. It isn't just a bar. It's a great place to hook up with friends, maybe have a meal, maybe have a drink or two, maybe have both. Whatever you choose to do, you'll be doing it in a relaxed, chilled out environment - just like being on holiday, in fact!

Pinchos - the real deal... [taken from Spanish website]

Going out for "pinchos" (small dishes to try, like tapas) is an experience not to be missed. See the counters crammed with these little gastronomic gems. Sample them and feel the lively, busy atmosphere in the region's typical local bars - a unique experience. Tapas culture can be experienced all over Spain, but in the Basque Country people live it with real dedication. This is no exaggeration.

"Pinchos" are normally made with local produce, vegetables, meats, seafood, cured meats and cheeses. They are beautifully presented. These dishes are designed to stand out on the counter and will get your juices flowing before you even start. There are a host of different varieties, and every year there are competitions with prizes going to the best of the best. Our recommendation is this: try whichever takes your fancy and let your taste buds decide.

You should discover this special tradition - you will not be disappointed. Many towns in the Basque Country have particular areas with bars specialising in these culinary delights. Be sure to try them out. For a very reasonable price you will be able to sample exquisite flavours that will not be forgotten.
