Turtle Bay Salford Quays is situated right on the waterfront, offering fantastic views of the Manchester skyline. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed; think Caribbean sunshine bottled up in a stylish, modern space. Looking through the photos, I noticed the restaurant is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light— perfect for a casual meal with friends.

The menu is packed with Caribbean classics, from jerk chicken to curries and plenty of vegetarian options. They have a great selection of cocktails, too! I'd definitely recommend trying the ribs— reviews mention they're melt-in-your-mouth tender— and I spotted a photo of a perfectly plated jerk chicken dish that looked incredible. The portions are generous, leaving you feeling satisfied but not stuffed.

This place is perfect for a pre-theater dinner, a casual get-together with friends, or even a family meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, happily accommodating dietary needs, which is a big plus. What sets it apart is the genuine feeling of Caribbean warmth and hospitality combined with delicious, good-value food—it’s a fun, vibrant experience that feels far removed from Manchester.
