Erst
Natural wine, small plates, and a calm Murray Street room that rewards a slow meal.

Erst keeps things pared back: a compact room, sharp service, and plates designed to sit beside a serious natural wine list.
The cooking leans seasonal without making a speech about it. Bread, vegetables, fish, and grilled dishes tend to carry the table.
It suits a couple of dishes and a glass at the bar as much as a longer booking, which is part of why it has become an Ancoats anchor.
