Why Vermilion Is One of the Most Beautiful Restaurants in the World
Vermilion is a hidden oasis in the heart of Netwon Health, a stone's throw from the Etihad Stadium and the bustle of the big smoke.
‘Vermilion’ is the name of a red pigment used in Renaissance painting, and it's easy to see where this beautiful Manchester venue got its name inspiration. The interior of this otherworldly venue is steeped in dark wood screens ornately cut in an Asian-reminiscent style. Finishes of gold, silver, and bronze glitter in the low, deep red lighting, a romantic venue like no other.
Plush rugs run down the hallways lined with backlit panelling, which open into vast, grand function rooms that feel like secrets. The restaurant and cocktail bar are buzzing somewhere deep in the cavernous building. People mill in and out of private function rooms. Vermilion is one of the best restaurants in Manchester if you’re looking for a truly stunning experience. Read on to find out why.
The Interior
Vermilion is easily accessible just off Lord N Street, North East of trendy Ancoats and neighbouring the Etihad Stadium. There’s no missing the luxury Manchester venue as you approach, are greeted by grand stone lions, and cross a moat to enter the rising silver building.
Sprawling across three storeys, Vermilion oozes style from the moment you enter. Miguel Cancio Martins, the man behind Buddha Bar and Man Ray in the heart of swanky Paris, designed the venue's interior. His unique design eye is unmistakable in this opulent, lavish design.
In the spirit of the restaurant’s theme, the decor is pan-Asian, with exotic floral prints, glowing Buddha heads, and cinematic ornaments like tuk-tuks, lanterns, and godly statues.
