383246_285738878140026_1914837490_NTHERE'S some extraordinary eating to be had at Albert Square right now. It's the hub for the Manchester Food and Drink Festival 2012 and it features a regularly-changing range of pop-up restaurants.

This week – for five days only – 63 Degrees will be serving up their fine, French food.

The menu features some of their classic dishes such as their ultra-slow cooked chicken breast in morel mushroom sauce, and their chestnut mousse with beechwood smoked duck.

398977_331849360195644_1853869571_NIt's just £5.50 for the chestnut mousse and the chicken is £6.80. And it's available from 12pm to 10pm Wednesday 26 September to Sunday 30 September. There's plenty of indoor seating so you'll be warm and dry.

63 Degrees is a hot new thing on the Manchester restaurant scene. It's been nominated for two MFDF awards, Chef of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Vote for them here.

Plus, if you're a fan of French cuisine, head to the cooking demo by chef Eric Moreau of 63 Degrees this Sunday (30 September) at 3pm at Albert Square. It's free to attend.
