VAO is beautifully located on the Waterside in Sale. It is a magnificent 150-seater contemporary eatery. Our abundant à la carte menu is a fusion of worldly-inspired 'house specials', freshly-made pastas, gourmet pizzas and deli-delicious desserts, plus, an eclectic cocktail menu and an impressive portfolio of wines to compliment our food offerings. The heated, covered terrace is one of South Manchester's most popular and provides 'al-fresco' style dining (parents can watch their children play safely too).
