Ibile Restaurant

Ibile brings a contemporary West African dining residency to Manchester, celebrating heritage flavours and culinary storytelling. True to its name - meaning "traditional" in Yoruba - Ibile pairs time-honoured recipes with seasonal, locally sourced produce, letting spice-led cooking, rich textures and generous hospitality take centre stage.

Founded by Irish-Nigerian entrepreneur Tolu Asemota, the concept reimagines classic cooking through a modern, fine-casual lens crafted for everyday suppers and special occasions alike.

At the heart of the table is a four-course tasting experience, taking guests on a considered journey through regional West African cuisine. Diners can discover dishes rooted in tradition, from fragrant prawn àkàrà and spiced beef suya to slow-simmered sauces, signature jollof rice, golden cassava fries and sweet puff puff. Every plate delivers balanced layers of aromatic warmth, subtle smoke, and deep, comforting flavour.

Located at Freight Island, just two minutes from Manchester Piccadilly station, the residency combines culinary artistry with a lively social backdrop.
