Favelas

General information

We love South America & especially Brazil. Its people, its food, its energy.

After months of research and travelling in the beautiful country, we saw so much and loved so much.. it was almost impossible to pick a highlight.. so we took in all our favourite aspects and themes, merging them into one wild project .. its obsession with music.. its never ending range of food.. its affinity with the nightlife.. its social culture & energy..

From creating a rainforest dancefloor inside.. to a ceiling built of doors.. to its multi roomed multi themed approach.. FAVELAS promises to offer an experience not found in Manchester.. or even the UK.

SET IN A SPRAWLING INDUSTRIAL RELIC OF MANCHESTER’S PAST AND DEEP INTO THE NORTHERN QUARTER.. FAVELAS DEFINES CONTRAST. WITH ONE FOOT SET FIRMLY IN SOUTH AMERICA AND ANOTHER IN THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, THERE’S NO SUBTLETY TO MANCHESTER’S ICONIC PAST. BROAD STEEL COLUMNS, ORIGINAL FLOORBOARDS AND ANTIQUE MACHINERY ARE JUST A FEW FEATURES STILL IN USE.

USING THE BUILDING’S ORIGINAL LAY OUT, SEVERAL SPACES HAVE BEEN INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED, EACH WITH ITS OWN STYLE. FROM OUR TRADITIONAL BRAZILIAN DESIGNED DINING ROOMS TO OUR DEDICATED COCKTAIL BAR AND NOT TO MENTION THE INFAMOUS RAINFOREST CANOPY DANCE FLOOR.

OUR HEAD CHEF, AUSTIN FLETCHER, HAS CURATED THE MENU AFTER MONTHS OF EXPLORATION AND SAMPLING, BRINGING BACK HOME THE FLAVOURS AND VIBRANCY OF HIS TRAVELS IN SOUTH AMERICA. CLEARLY REFLECTED IN THE DISHES IS THE INCREDIBLE DIVERSITY & MULTI-CULTURAL HISTORY OF BRAZIL, WITH EACH DISH HAVING A UNIQUE BACK STORY TO ITS CREATION.

WE BELIEVE MUSIC AND FOOD ARE THE 2 ESSENTIALS OF LIFE. SO KEEPING IN LINE WITH THE ENERGY AND SOUNDS OF SOUTH AMERICA, WE HAVE WEEKLY DJs AND LIVE MUSIC FROM OUR RESIDENT ARTISTS, EXPLORING THE SOUNDS OF LATIN AMERICA, BOSSA NOVA, SAMBA, HOUSE & HIP HOP.
