3 TWENTY ONE restaurant is now open above The Deansgate pub a hop, a skip and a jump from Beetham Tower and close to Deansgate Station.

The restaurant has a smoke house and also does classic cocktails alongside a good wine list and real ales.

The chef is Jason Latham who's produced a good-looking and good-reading menu.

On one of the opening nights, gal-about-town Charlotte Moore went down and stuffed herself to the gills while taking these pictures of the food and the folk.

We'll give it a couple of weeks and then sneak in and review the place. 

You can follow Charlotte Moore on Twitter here.
