Restaurants in Manchester

Kala Bistro

Had a delicious birthday meal here. The food was great and so too was the service.The kind of place where you want to eat everything on the menu and it's all great value for the very high quality food on offer.Would highly recommend!

MyLahore Manchester

I am from cardiff just visited My Lahore first time in Manchester. Keep up the good work guys!!!The menu is full of mouthwatering dishes, from juicy kebabs, well grilled lamb chops to flavorful king prawn karhai & Manchurian with rice. The staff is super friendly and attentive, making your dining experience even better.I highly recommend their signature dessert, the chocolate lava cake. It's absolutely divine! ?️??

Pizza Express

Visited twice for lunch this week on Monday and Thursday. Today (Thursday) really busy and great atmosphere. Very importantly staff always look after single diners and don't give them a rubbish small table at the back of the restaurant away from everyone else.Vegetarian options: Good choice of vegan and vegetarian - lots of variety

SANGAM DIDSBURY

My family and I were looking for a spot for dinner near Manchester, when we came across Sangam in Didsbury. We went in expecting the least, as Jain food wasn't available elsewhere, and so was the case on Sangam's menu, BUT fortunately, we met Shahin, Sangam's chef, who was very accommodating and went off the menu to make Jain food for us which by the way was very good. I highly recommend visiting, and kudos to Sangam, notably Shahin, and TopCat [our waiter], their service was impeccable.

Flight Club Manchester

This is a brilliant place to visit, so much fun. Many different darts games to play. You don't need to be a darts player. Staff were good and knew what they were about.

SCHOFIELD'S BAR

Faultless. Everything from the doorman to the tunes in the toilet were spot on! Very attentive, friendly staff, good vibes and comfy and cosy. We returned twice to try get in and were lucky that someone didn't turn up to their reservation so we nabbed their table. Would book next time. The Irish Coffee Cocktail and Silver Fox was delicious. Can't wait to return to try more and some food.

Gaucho Manchester

We had a fantastic dinner at Gaucho celebrating a special occasion. The restaurant is elegant and top class, with a great atmosphere and live music. The food was delicious, especially the steak and the sauce. The presentation was beautiful. The service was impeccable, thanks to Marcello, who was very attentive, friendly, and professional. He made us feel special and even brought us a complimentary dessert with a candle for my wife. It was a lovely gesture that we really appreciated. We had a memorable evening, and we will definitely come back. Highly recommended!#LoveGaucho❤️❤️❤️

Dishoom Manchester

I honestly cannot stop talking about how delicious my TWO meals were here. Yes, I came twice in the same trip, lol. This is, hands down, the best Indian food I have ever eaten in my entire life, and I grew up in Southeast Asia. I was here for work, and we ventured here on our very first night -- you'll put your name down with the host, and then wait inline. I was surprised at the wait on a Sunday night, but after hearing all the buzz about Dishoom, we knew it was going to be worth it. In fact, I asked the host to make us a reservation for our very last night, because I had a hunch we would want to return (and I was right).Let me start by highlighting the service. My co-worker is celiac and they really took the time to explain what she could / couldn't eat and what possible cross contamination could occur. 5-stars for that, alone.I'd have to say that the top dishes I ate there, on both nights, was the broccoli salad, the daal, and the biryani. OH OH, and let's not forget the kulfi popsicle desserts. I tried the pistachio and the mango, both were excellent. You also should have their cocktails -- I particularly loved their whisky sour that was a blend of Indian and Japanese whisky (damn, it was so good). The roti was also sheer heaven.In short, you must make your way here, if you're in Manchester. And go twice, so you can get to sample as much of their menu as possible. Even better if you're a large group! They seriously should consider opening a location in NYC.

Turtle Bay Manchester Oxford Rd

Came in tonight for a bottomless brunch to celebrate my birthday & was served mainly by Mia, along with two other staff members.All serving staff were so polite, however Mia went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible & got the most out of our brunch.We will definitely be back soon!Thank you Mia!

Ornella's Kitchen - Pasta-Deli

Just got home from a fab meal at Ornella's, only booked in this week after hearing nothing but great things.We had 4 dishes and 1 kid's penne pasta, all were cooked fresh and super tasty.Staff were very accommodating, would defo recommend.

Cafe Bistro 122

The best place for breakfast! We have visited lots of places and this is where we decided to stick with. The best selection and everything is made to a high standard. We visit here at least once a week. The avocado, poached egg and wild mushroom on sourdough is a favourite.

Slug & Lettuce - Albert Square Manchester

The service was really nice.. We had a mocktail making session with Matthew.I had all the mocktails, there was this offer of 2 for 1, with burger and chips, it was so filling...The inside was nice for pictures as well..The toilets were neat as well.Overall, it was a lovely experience.

No 4 Dine & Wine

What a hidden gem in Dibsbury! The menu is simple and there’s not a huge choice but each dish sounds enticing! Using locally-grown or sourced produce is the restaurant’s mantra and are masterfully cooked by the chef. The restaurant is cosy and has a homely-feel. Advance booking a must!

Proost

6 adults went for Sunday lunch today and we all ended up having 3 courses each. The food is outstanding, every course was amazing. Credit to the chef and service was brilliant to. Very happy and feeling stuffed and lucky to have this fine establishment in Urmston. Thanks Proost we will be back soo and also recommending to our friends.

The Hive

Popped in for Sunday lunch after trying the burgers a few weeks ago. Both times the food was spot on, chicken burger and cauliflower cheese were great! Portion sizes are generous and prices are reasonable. Very family friendly place that shows sports but with a nice chilled atmosphere. We'll definitely be back. Glad to have this so close to home!Kid-friendliness: Lots of families there and changing facilities

Spice Mafia

Unique and scrummy food, wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. We visited recently whilst visiting the area and were blown away by the street food menu which also incorporates regular Indian restaurant menu options. Everything we tried had a really fresh tang, they clearly know their spices and use the best of ingredients to create something delicious and tasty. Even the chutneys served with poppadoms (which can often be lacklustre) were different and appetising. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

Browns Manchester

Simple perfection. Pan-seared scallops and pancetta had a slight mishap with unevenly distributed seasoning but stunning delivery on every dish for the table of 4. The desert could use a little more attention but I am pleased with the overall quality and experience.We will be returning in a few days for afternoon tea for a separate review.

Bearded Feeder

This little still at the Piccadilly Gardens food market has the best burger I've had in Manchester. What's better is that it's also at a good price.Their burgers are juicy and can be ordered with a side or chips and a can for a total of £10. I've not had better food for the price. Better yet, I can only think of a couple places that are better.This is a must try for everyone who wants to have a proper burger and earned a weekly visit from me since I've had it for the first time.The only thing to note is that it is a stall. So they don't have anywhere to sit. But even then I think it's worth having it.

The Sparrows Continental Pasta & Spätzle

Probably the best Italian restaurant in Manchester. Focaccia is soft and perfectly matched with olive sauce. Dumplings are not traditional Italian ones but very tasty, the covering is crispy and the inside is soft. I have never eaten gnocchi before because l didn't think it would be delicious food, however, this restaurant completely proves l was wrong. How can I miss this type of pasta!! It's tender and absorbed the sauce, every bite you enjoy the flavour filling out your mouth.

Piccolino Didsbury

I went to the restaurant to have lunch to celebrate my daughter's 19th birthday today 29th Oct, the atmosphere was lovely, the food was great and the music was perfect Michele really made us feel really welcome and paid a lot of attention to details. We will be coming back again definitely. Will certainly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Tampopo Albert Square

First time to this location, have had the food before, equally delicious - ordered the Sticky Wings and Balinese Pork Belly for starters. For our mains, we shared two dishes - Nasi Goreng Royal and the Beef Rendang. The spices were a kick of chillies. Our drinks were the Fresh leaves Hojicha, and Mango and lime mocktail.Great music and atmosphere. Love the coat hang feature available on the wall nearby!

19 Cafe Bar

Fantastic food, the staff are welcoming and friendly, if you're planning to visit during peak noshing times, then prepare to have to wait for a while outside in a queue. (It's worth the wait!)

Slug & Lettuce - Spinningfields Manchester

Got bottomless brunch yesterday with a few friends and it was fabulous! Our waiter Josh was super attentive and friendly and made sure we had a good time. Will definitely be back again ?

The Flour and Flagon

I am an absolute regular at the flour and flagon and I have had a 10/10 experience every single time! The service here is impeccable and everyone who works here is always so lovely and caring. The food slaps and there weekday deals are always sensational!!! Would recommend to anyone visiting Manchester for the first time. Jess L is an absolutely amazing server, her pints are always top notch and the long islands she makes are second to none. Come here for an absolutely slay night out xx

Hawksmoor Manchester

Delicious Sunday roast?would 100% recommend going for this. Restaurant was busy and had a good atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and kind with quick service. Can’t speak for the main menu but the Sunday Roast was definitely reasonably priced.

Indique

Most of the food was delicious. The service was great too. I loved the biryani with raitha. Chilli potato was one of their best. Panipuri wasn’t up to the mark but overall we had a good

James Martin Manchester

We arrived early for our booking because we weren't exactly sure where the restaurant was. We were professionally courteously and friendly received before being taken to our table. We ordered from the a la carte and the editor was Fabio who provided exceptional service and attended was knowledgeable of the food choices we made. Fabio was great throughout the entire meal. The meal was absolutely superb, as you would expect, and every dish was a tasting extravaganza. Absolutely delicious. The restaurant tables were well spaced and created a very private atmosphere for each party and there was no stuffy atmosphere. A thoroughly enjoyable experience and we can't wait to return. I cannot recommend the restaurant highly enough. I hope James is proud of the team he has created and the service, food and hospitality that exists at the Manchester.

All Bar One Manchester

I went into All Bar One recently and was served by Lilka, who had great customer service. The atmosphere was amazing and the drinks were great. So friendly, I would definitely recommend going here!

The Alan, Dine & Drink

Popped by for a business lunch and was served by the lovely Jess who was very attentive. I was impressed with the delicious food and seamless service - would definitely recommend again for business or pleasure!

Chiquito

The food was really good, arrived at a perfect temperature to dig in and was the perfect portion size. The atmosphere was a little quiet but for me that was great as then I could really enjoy the surroundings and the company. All of the staff were extremely welcoming and attentive. I have gone back multiple times and it has never failed me.Vegetarian options: Very tasty options and they have a section to build your own with vegetarian options so if you don't fancy the set menu items there's always another option. My favourite thing to order is the bean chilli tacos or the bean chilli burrito.

Chill#96

A great place to relax. The difference seating areas gave it a nice ambience. From the 'bees of Manchester' embossed on the wall paper to the classic 1950/60's ish ceramics and furniture. This quirkyness lifted the darker tones of the décor. A good selection of drinks and the Bar staff polite and efficient. Although the Ibis hotel is a part of the bar, it did not detract. All worked seamlessly together. All on all I would happily visit this bar again.

Grosvenor Casino

I currently work here part time as a f&b host on a varied shift patterned rota. This casino has a good vibe for the members , staff & managers. We have a fantastic selection of food & drinks available for members to purchase from the bar team ?.

Exchange Food And Drink Lounge

Well situated. Vibrant and fun. Menu was good, something for everyone. Drinks are a bit expensive. Lovely area out the front to drink, even in the winter, blankets supplied. A good find.

Cast Iron Grill

I’ve stayed at the hotel several times this year and have to say the restaurant is fantastic. The ribeye steak is absolutely superb, consistently excellent and the service is always exceptional.

Shell

Fatey Singh. Thank you. You saved my day! That nail in my tire almost ruined my day. You didn't need to but you changed my tire and got me home safe and sound to my family. Service beyond the call of duty. Well done Sir. Ever so grateful thank you. AP

Greggs

Recently arrived at Manchester Airport terminal. It's go get it place to grab coffee, snacks, sweets and freshly make confectionery.You can fetch a coffee or your own choice or any bakery item. They got sandwiches, salad, drinks and multiple option to fulfill appreciate at airport terminal. I have been to their outlets at terminal 1. I loved their freshly baked items on menu.Overall a satisfied customer from services and food point of view.

Shell

Excellent Customer services I received from Shell didsbury village , The Staff Memeber Mr Harris was very busy as he was working alone, he helped to solve queries all the way down to resolve, Again I am thankful.

Jenny's Restaurant

Hello to all travellers. Well we have given some not so good reviews in the past of this restaurant, but I have to say that we started to go back there just recently for lunch. Pleased to say that things have changed a lot. The restaurant is very clean, nicely set out and the has been excellent and of excellent quality on food.. Cannot complain. The only draw back is, that the restaurant bar is closed, but you can still get a drink from the bar on the floor above from the main bar and take it to the restaurant. Its really no bother. When you arrive at Jenny's, you get a lovely warm welcome from a lady name of Margaret. She gives you a lovely pleasant smile and serves you straight away. No waiting at all. She is very chatty and brings the soup to you right away if you require it, otherwise it is self service from the buffet. Its three course lunch consisting of soup or salad as you wish, then on to your main meal, then desert. There is water if one wishes. It is eat as much as you like for £8.50 which is a bargain for all whether out shopping in town or quick travellers calling in for lunch. We are pleased that jenny's has come back to life. We will now continue to eat there in the future when we are in Manchester. Go on travellers, if you want a good lunch for very little money, go for it. I recommend. Good luck. The restaurant is down stairs of the Britannia hotel on Portland street. Look out for jenny's sign outside.

Ok so it is expensive for food, sweets drinks etc but what garage isn't? The fuel is reasonably priced but the staff are brilliant, always helpful and always make my day!

Starbucks Coffee

24 hour Starbucks, surprisingly it was incredibly busy at 10pm both inside and outside however the staff were very courteous and fairly quick given the amount of people there, highly recommended :-)Vegetarian options: Loads, beyond meat breakfast muffin is amazingDietary restrictions: Vegetarian, veganParking: Massive Asda next door if you can find one but plenty every time I’ve been

Top service by Evening man called Amir, very polite and always speak very friendly and help out with any problem. I am new to area so my close by garage, I always come evening time as morning man very grumpy and rude- don’t know name but tall & with beard.

Shell

There is no waiting time here. You would have all you need here. It's a fuel filling station so .....It's a well kept place and neat. After you fill, you go to the shop to pay for your fuel.

Shell

Excellent no queues. Diesel pick up paid they have a few bits and bobs inside so if your on long journeys you can get some snacks.. other products too like car chargers etc

Campo Blanco

What a find. The reviews were mostly spot on. The food was sensational, staff were friendly but not intrusive and the atmosphere was just right. What a lovely early evening experience. We will be back soon. Thank you.

Federal Cafe Bar

100/10 service level!Don’t usually post review, but service level is on another level.Gave us hot chocolate while we were queuing outside and gave cookie on the house when I’m done with my meal.Great food too, but service is truly excellent.

Yard & Coop Manchester

Love the atmosphere here for hanging arround with friends.. i order Fried Chicken Plate - full Chicken Breast with bee knees Hot Honey Sauce and Dirty Fries.. the food was great..

Strawberry Duck

1st time in the Strawberry Duck tonight, what can I say but what a lovely welcome, this is a very friendly pub which is popular with the regulars, it has been knocked about a bit but it does retain a bit of its old character, there is a good range of beers, football on TV and a Dartboard in the corner, Cracking entertainment on a Saturday night. Definitely worth a visit. Cheryl & the other bar staff are lovely/funny and it's been a joy to meet them.

Lass O'Gowrie Manchester

Spent the evening with a large group, spread over several parts of the pub. Hats off to the staff for coping with the chaos that entailed. Always had a smile and a calm demeanor. Pie was a real pie and was satisfyingly filling. Wide range of beer options, had several different and were all good.

The Black Friar

The atmosphere here is nice and cozy with the winter tent they've put up. Food seems pricey for what it is, but I guess you're paying for the ambience. The burger and fries here was very nice but nothing mind-blowing. I'd happily go again and try some of the other dishes.

Bianco - Pizza & Coffee

We were looking online for just an ice cream and found Bianco, it was simply the best hidden gem discovery ever! The quality of the food and the ice cream is impossible to describe: highly recommended to anyone who would like to get a bit of Sicilian taste!Can't wait for the events planned in the incoming months, we ll see again for sure ;)

Barbakan Delicatessen Ltd

A Chorlton institution and for a good reason!! 10/10 in every department, from the amazing selection of cheese and cured meats, the better than Gregg's pasties, too much good bread, unbelievable sweets and pastries! Sugared ring donut is my favourite, but anything you get is great!

Salut Wines

Had such a great time at Salut!Not a huge wine fan so ordered the lemoncello spritzer which was fantastic. Also tried the Elderflower but the lemoncello had the edge. We were served by Morven who was really awesome, very friendly and welcoming.We ordered some meats and cheeses, was very impressed with the presentation and taste. Thick cuts of prosciutto, delicious balsamic onions, fresh bread. Perfect nibbles while we drank. One of the best charcuterie plates I’ve tasted!Love the look of this wine bar, they have all the wines on display so you can browse and choose what you fancy. They have table service which was great, staff very knowledgeable and fun to chat with!Can’t wait to go back!

The Gatehouse

Amazing food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. The curries were amazing, so full of flavour and the perfect amount of spice. We can't wait to return and try more of the dishes! :)

ParkWay Sandwich Bar (Chorlton)

I found the customer service fantastic, very friendly and welcoming.The owner is very helpful and approachable and down to earth.Was a fantastic experience felt like I was in a shisha bar in Iran.Will definitely come again with friends and family.Thankyou for the amazing experience and brilliant customer service.

Black Sheep Coffee & Cocktails

The vanilla latte was delicious. It was the perfect blend of sweet and creamy, with a rich coffee flavour that really came through. I could tell that the baristas took their time to craft the latte perfectly. The ambience was cozy and inviting. Another plus was the ability to order from a screen. This made the ordering process quick and easy, and it was nice to be able to see all of the different options available.

The Goose

Ive been here twice and what an amazing place, the venue is absolutely spotless, the owners should be very proud, the toilets are super clean like clean, the cleanest ive been in. The whole entire place is so tidy and well kept, halloween decorations are so neatly presented and to the vibe. The entertainment is on point with the village, I feel very proud as a gay man to be here and enjoy this, the staff are on point they deserve 5stars for absolutely everything they should be throughly proud of what they have achieved I'm glad I found this hidden gem. I will return many times over and I would have no problem in recommending the goose to as many people as i could. Thankyou. Xx

Five Guys Trafford Centre

Happy with my experience at 5 guys the burger was cooked beautifully and the staff were friendly, but there was a quite long wait for the food to arrive, but it was busy so that is to be expected.Prices are higher than other similar establishments but you can tell the difference in quality

The Crown & Anchor

Under new management. Completely refurbished. Place was very clean. The Sunday lunch was amazing. We had the tempura prawn starter followed by the platter. Very generous portions. Make sure you go with an empty belly. Staff very professional, helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.Food & drinks: The food platter was very good. Selection of meats and vegetables all very tasty.

Indian Plaza

Really excellent food, huge selection and very reasonably priced. My sister pronounced the garlic naan the best she'd ever had.All the sizzling grill dishes were excellent. My Bombay Special Lamb was delicious, with plenty of tender, well-cooked lamb.Service was solicitous and courteous without pestering.A little gem of a place! Also excellent disabled access and facilities.Parking: Large free carpark - little bit uneven, watch your step! If you park close to the entrance, it's more level and gives better disabled access.Wheelchair accessibility: From the parking spaces nearest the entrance, excellent. Very helpful staff, level access to the bar and restaurant area, good disabled toilet with plenty of grab bars.

Uplift @ the sq

Uplift cafe in Stretford mall is lovely and so are the owners Paul and Georgie. I have been here for the 1st time this morning and they do a great lil menu inc healthy smoothies. Kids eat free breakfast and packed lunch during school holidays ❤️ check them out ?

The Union Arms

My first visit to this place. Now don’t get me wrong but I don’t think I’m out of place to suggest Tyldesley is hardly a gastronomic centre. Indeed, in years gone by it’s more the type of place where you’d expect a fight on an evening. And this place looks like the type of venue where you might have had this in yesteryear. But step inside and you’re treated to a management clearly trying to make this place stand out for being different. Varied menu. Friendly staff. And the food was really good. The roast was enormous. And the burgers are worth their year 2000 award. And as an aside the entry to the gents looked like a typical pub toilet yet inside was something befitting of a gastropub. Tiled and spotlessly clean. If you want nice food in a more traditional northern pub type atmosphere you should visit Union Arms. Will defo be returning.

Peppe's Pizzeria

The best pizzas for miles around plus good pasta and steak dishes. This high quality has never slipped in the thirty-odd years since Peppe first opened in Whitefield. Note: credit cards not accepted.

Lotus Plant Based Kitchen

I really loved the food every time I went over the years. Top quality, big portions, huge menu to choose from and some classic favourites that I can’t resist such as prawn toast, ‘fish’ dishes, mock meats. The food is dreamy, the staff is always lovely and prices remained reasonable compared to other places these days.

Bill's Spinningfields Restaurant

I went to this restaurant because there was a dating event held by a company called Unified Dating and no-one turned up so I was sat alone for a whole hour.Rachel (general manager) and Roisin (bar staff) never made me feel alone even though I was sat alone and always checked on me to see how I was feeling and they were very empathetic throughout and made me feel like I was at home and I have to say that they are the nicest staff I have ever come across in any restaurant and they are a prime example of what customer service should be. ❤The halloumi fries and diet coke that I had were also provided free of charge to compensate for the £13.99 that I paid for this dating event but I have to say, I wouldn't think twice paying for food that high of quality for the prices. ☺Roisin also had said that I'm welcome back any time and I will definitely be paying a visit again. ?

Rump N Ribs Steakhouse

We got the fillet steak, cote de boeuf and prime chicken breast. We also got 2x mash, veggies, coleslaw, fries and 3x peppercorn sauce.The filet steak was cooked nicely, the mashed potato is smooth and went down a treat. The veg was a good addition to the meal also.The cote de boeuf was asked to be done medium rare but was much rarer than expected, we asked for this to be cooked a little more and it was done without a problem. The manager was very attentive and ensured we were all happy. The chicken dish comes in sauce, which we was unaware of hence the extra order of peppercorn sauce but it was nice together.The green peppercorn is brown! This almost threw me off ordering it but it was very nice actually.The staff were all lovely and we will be back soon! Thank you all :)

Nibble

Super cool and cosy, I did like how small it was and intimate. But it needs to be bigger as the food was great, especially the gluten free caramel brownie! Amazing!!Thanks for hosting us.

The Original Third Eye

Food was of phenomenal quality with great hosting.The best curry I've had in many years, a real fantastic find. Deserves every bit of the recognition they have been getting and will continue to get. I will be recommending to friends and family.

Ezra & Gil

Relaxing lunch with a ballet friend. Very tasty Eggs Florentine and Chorizo Hash Benedict, hot, strong coffees sat at a high table. Ordered at the bar and brought by a smiling waitress. All very tasty, just wish they’d been able to bring two relatively simple meals at the same time rather than a few minutes apart.

Japan Deli

Fantastic attention to detail, produced a special gluten free bento box and Ramen to tell the grandkids about. Very very reasonable prices and super family friendly. Will defiantly visit again. A big thank you from us.

Richmond Tea Rooms

Food was delicious, especially the scones. The staff was exceptional. I was, however, surprised that the tea pots didn’t allow you to remove the leaves so your second cup wouldn’t be over steeped. Cute place with an Alice in Wonderland theme.

The Orange Tree Tapas

Lovely, friendly staff, fast service and very tasty food. Great for children. The kids loved there food. Lovely little tapas restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

Burton Road Bakery

Popped in as they were closing to get one of the last cheese & onion pasties, the gentleman was very welcoming and threw in a spinach & feta pastry for free as they were about to shut. Lovely fella. Both tasted great too, excellent service.

Habesha Restaurant

Visited lastnight, chuffed to eat cheap yet great food. Shame the portions were small but the traditional sour flatbread filled me up enough at the time. Each meal was about £11 minimum and cheap bottled beer at around £3.25. Lovely atmosphere seems very authentic and the staff were super friendly and polite, a tip well deserved. Only thing is finding the place was confusing but it’s on the corner and you’ve to go into the fast food place below then follow the spiral stairs up and you’ll have landed yourself in the habesha restaurant :) the lamb was lovely and tender. Open late as well (11pm)!

Printworks

Whatever you’re looking for, the Printworks is ideally located and populated - a good selection of pubs, clubs and eateries as well as entertainment from games to films. Found in a good location in the heart of the busy city centre with excellent transport links, the Printworks is a place you just have to visit!

mana

Amazing food and service. I’m not qualified to comment on the intricacies of the food other than that some of it was unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before. Truly unique and beautiful food.

Royce Balti Palace

In Manchester overnight and saw the Royce Balti Palace online. I popped in for a takeaway. The team were very friendly, in a spotless, open kitchen. The food was excellent. Highly recommend the tandoori lamb chops and the balti chicken.

Mumbai to London Cafe Restaurant, Droylsden, Manchester

Absolutely lovely food. We live in Ancoats but came down to visit a friend. We had the chef’s special paneer makhani, the grilled fish tikka, pilau, onion bhaji, and popadoms. The food quality was much better than some of the restaurants I’ve eaten at in the city centre. The fish in particular was delicious; marinaded in plenty of tikka infused yoghurt and cooked to perfection, it simply melts in the mouth.Please come and sit in. The staff are lovely and welcoming, the air con was at a delightful temperature, and the quirky walls are scattered with cute nods to their customers. In terms of pricing, the wine (gigantic glass) was under £5, and the entire bill came to about £30. Incredible pricing compared to what we are used to in Ancoats! It’s a 15 min tram ride from New Islington - get down here now!

OSMA

This venue is stylishly decorated & the service is fantastic. Overall I found the food to be generally excellent; the chicken Pate toast with gooseberries was delicate but sharp. The oysters were perfectly dressed. We had a raw egg yolk/fish tartare however that was far too rich & salty for the portion size given. I really think it would have benefited from being served as a tasting spoon instead.

THE BRITONS PROTECTION

Fantastic pub - cannot believe I have never stumbled in here before. The decor is brilliant and the staff were friendly. Great selection on draught. Will definitely be returning

cask

If you're in Manchester City centre and you like beer Cask is a must! It's a brilliant pub. They typically have 4 cask ales, all superb quality. They have a great range of craft and international beers, I highly recommend the Augustina Helles! You can also buy fish and chips from the place next door and eat in the pub, although Cask doesn't serve food, this is a great little feature.To top it off the atmosphere is really friendly and chilled and the staff are great. This pub is ace

WOOD Manchester

WOOD Restaurant – British food done to perfectionThank you for the hospitality and service that I received when visiting your Manchester restaurant last Friday for a pre-theatre meal.Food and MenuThe menu is simple but is effective and is easy to read. It is a small selection of dishes but there is something for everyone whether you are a Meat lover, a Chicken dinner person, the fish fan and or the Vegetarian.For Starters there is Chicken Sweetbreads, Smoked Salmon and more.For Mains there is the Lamb Sausage, Monkfish, Chicken and Meat dishes too.In addition you can also add a dish of Vegetables such as Carrots or the Sweet and Sour plate. There is also Pomana Potatoes too.For Dessert there is the Lemon and Basil pudding. There is also the Caramel and Kogi Tart too if you have a sweet tooth. If you are a lover of cold desserts then there is an eclectic selection of Ice Cream flavours to choose from.For the Starters the Chicken Sweetbreads were scrumptious to eat. The Chicken was soft and moist. It melted in the mouth. The Sweetbreads were cooked nicely giving it a slight bite. It was dancing on a plate. The Salmon was delicious. The pieces of Smoked Salmon were matched in harmony against the flavours of Cheese and Cucumber balls with Caviar. It was a light dish with lovely flavours and textures.For the Mains the Lamb Sausage was a hearty dish that was comforting to eat. The Sausage was cooked to a high standard. It was crispy on the outside oozing with Lamb inside. It was also sublime in its presentation. The Pomana Potatoes were a great addition to the meal too. Crispy pieces of Potato on the outside that was soft and fluffy in the middle.For the Dessert the Caramel and Kogi Tart was heaven. A great tart with soft buttery pastry and sweet Caramel on the top. It was gooey, sweet, and indulgent. In addition the Ice Cream went perfectly with the Tart and the texture was superb giving it a biscuit texture that reminded me of a Cheesecake. The presentation was exquisite too.DrinksThere is a small selection of Mocktails with different flavours to quench your thirst. I had the Berry and Apple one that was refreshing, fruity and punchy. It complemented the food well.ServiceThe waiters were friendly, attentive and accommodating to my needs. There was a wait for food but it was worth it as the food was freshly cooked and it was beautifully presented. It was a great experience.Lighting and AccessThe lighting was decent at our table. The furniture was lovely with stylish comfy chairs and nice cutlery.

Had jerk chicken meal as did my wife,Only negative was that it was meant to be spicy and it wasn't, but that's not something to get fussed about,Service is friendly, bit of a wait because of a queue but that's a good sign,Eventually got our meals and wandered over to the marina, snd got stuck in,Chicken was good, but the star of the show is the rice! Really good ?We'll definitely be going back again.Thanks guys.

The Salisbury

Local friendly alt bar, great jukebox, great rum selection, nice fresh hot pizzas, outside seating areas under bar.A place to go if you are a fan of good music.It can get quite busy and loud!

Adam Reid at The French

Second time at The French. We loved our first experience in Nov 2022 and coming back again it was interesting to see the refinement of the menu over the last 12 months. The bread & broth is a great start to the meal, the snacks are well executed and the flavours of the main courses well thought out & delicious. Service is great throughout, the passion of the chefs serving their dishes at the table shines through and would highly recommend the tipsy drink accompaniments. The restaurant was very accommodating to my wife who is pregnant, adapting dishes with no fuss and still delivering great taste, with the non-tipsy drinks accompaniment also surprisingly varied & enjoyed,Having attended a bunch of fine dining establishments it’s only a matter of time before the Midland regains a Michelin star for Manchester - this place ticks all the boxes: great food, beautiful dining room, great service, locally sourced ingredients and a local story to go alongside. Would highly recommend.

Band on the Wall

Love it here. Saw some of the music students from Manchester college. It's a great set up and a privilege since its history. Staff are always fab. Although prices are expensive. The building is beautiful and always so clean.

Wazuzhi Dessert Room

Came here twice the both times I was in Manchester. It is a must since it is the best dessert room in the city for a good reason. The service is quick and efficient. The desserts themselves are separated between Western and Chinese but I highly recommend the Chinese ones. It will blow your mind! The tofu flower I had with the ginger base was not too sweet but strong and spicy enough to solve your colds or ailments. It is extremely soothing. But you must also try their mango sago. That is a classic. Good for any age.

Cloud 23

A very large bar on the 23rd floor of the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester. It has an extensive drinks list served by efficient and friendly staff who are lovely. The larger main area can get a little crowded and noisy, but for a quieter more chilled and relaxed vibe there is an area at the end with soft seating. Being on the 23rd floor, it provides superb views of the Manchester skyline including the sunsets. Pricing is not cheap but not into very expensive territory. Recommended.

The Gas Lamp

This is a rather unique basement bar and a great beer venue. Descend the steps to rooms covered in white tiles. Albrecht loves this bar. Very friendly and knowledgable staff. Four real ales available. On this visit from local Pomona Island ( pint of Olinger pale 4.3%) and Chapter ( pint of Blindfold off 4.2%)breweries. Also a super discount for CAMRA members..so join up and bring your card.Wheelchair accessibility: No.

Wholesome Junkies

100% book a table as this place is tiny and gets very busy, we still had to wait a little bit even though we booked. This place was super cute, lovely interior. Food was absolutely fantastic although small portions and pretty expensive but the food is so tasty it’s worth it. Great little place tucked away by the arena.

Ernies

Grand Daddy's Diner

I had the spicy chicken burger with spicy chips, this was recommended to me and I can see why its a popular choice. The owner is the establishment is also a gentleman , would definitely eat here again

Bravissimi!

Such a great spot for Italian food. I tried aperol spritz and it was so fresh and amazing! The pizza was delicious tooo.We even took back some biscoff cheescake jars and they were incredible.All the ingredients were fresh and there was value for money.

Rudy's Pizza Napoletana - Ancoats

The pizza here is to die for! Had the Margherita, and I have to say I enjoyed it more than the pizza I recently had in Rome. My friend had the chilli honey dip and loved it. The pizzas are large and filling, staff were lovely and I 10/10 recommend! We made a booking to reserve a table online as it’s popular.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian pizza options

Safari narrow boat tearoom

The boat is beautiful, and the staff friendly. Thankyou so much for my toastie today. It was delicious and just what I needed after spending the morning litter picking ?

Bee Happy Cafe

Popped in whilst getting the air con recharged in the car a little further up the road. What a lovely little place. The staff are really pleasant, the cafe is really clean and extremely cute with its bee theme running throughout. I ordered the small breakfast and from what I've tasted so far, it's delicious. I'm so impressed by the place that I stopped eating part way through to review. Will definitely visit again! ?

Cibus Pizza

Absolutely love this place always such amazing food and great service. You couldn't ask nicer people or better food.Me and my partner saved up going here for a special occasion but its so reasonably priced we intend to make it a more regular thing.

The Circus Tavern

We visited here 1st and 3rd November 2023 and had 2 absolutely fantastic nights with Barry, his fine lady,Irish Kenny and others. In i Michael and Martine from Pontypridd south

The Hip Hop Chip Shop

I got the medium fish and chips with curry.It was a decent portion for a lunch deal. I really liked the chips, the fish was chunky and crispy.Service was friendly and it was nice and cosy inside.

Wright's Fish & Chips

This is some of the best fish and chips I've had. The fish was flake and fresh. The batter was glorious. The staff seemed like they're having a bad day. Or they just didn't want to be there. Anyways the food speaks for itself. The chips could be better but they're good too. Also stick the fish. The pie wasn't eye opening.

Why Not ? Cafe-bar

Something different very quaint and outside is a joy to sit and chill x Food is delicious and selection of drinks no drinks menu but just ask what’s available A joy to go to especially throughout the day I usually pass on my way to work at nighttime and it gets very busy I have always wanted to try it It did not disappoint enjoyed the experience and would recommend x

Marhaba Take Away

I haven't visited for some time but decided to stop by during my lunch break. Despite it being over a year, I was warmly welcomed by the family run team.The food quality was as fantastic as I remembered; their homemade breads are easily the best I've tried. The lamb was very succulent, and the was sauce is rich. It's not the cheapest lunch option, but for the price and taste, it still represents good value.Whilst the location is modest, the experience is authentic.There are a lot of good curry cafes in the area, but for me, Marhaba is still the best.

Nordie

Lovely food, really friendly and attentive staff. A lovely evening if you go with a great atmosphere. The curry sauce with almonds is beautiful as is everything we

Bernies English Fish & Chips

Phoned for a tea to be delivered tonight and it was delicious. The fish is so white and big flakes very fresh as was everything else and piping hot. I'm still full now. Can definitely recommend. Thank you Bernie's ?

Upper Crust/Point

Staff in here are always really helpful and friendly. Jamilla usually here on a Friday and it's always a pleasure to be served by her. Food is great, baguette are good value.

Sexy Fish Manchester

Brilliant food but very expensive. Be prepared to spend a lot particularly if you’re drinking.The salt and pepper squid was seasoned to perfection, the wagyu and truffle gyozas and the black cod were exceptional.The service was impressive, however one thing is please can the staff not top the wine up after every sip.

Afrikana Manchester

Excellent food, full of flavour. Excellent customer service from staff especially Isra she was really helpful giving the option to have a bigger table so we don’t feel too squashed. Also explained what was nice on the menu. The food arrived quite quickly after ordering. Overall good experience. Thank
