Top 30 Best Exquisite dining in Manchester

“Lovely food, friendly warm feeling around this restaurant. The food was excellent, well priced. The starters and mains were delicious, I can be very fussy wrt cheese boards but No 4 are all over this, no cheese straight out of the fridge here, all beautifully presented, correct temp, ready to eat and enjoy! Our second time but will definitely return. Occasion: wife's birthday, went down v nicely thank you, the fudge gift was a welcome and thoughtful touch.”

“Not even finished the food yet by far the best Thai in the northwest”

“Fabulous food. The quality of produce and level of spice was perfect. From starters to nan as a party of 7 didn't have a single complaint. Restaurant was extremely busy throughout our visit which is a testament to the establishment and explains our level of enjoyment.”

“Beautiful restaurant, brilliant service and great food, thank you - Maria was amazing and she loved our singing”

“So we get to this place and it was busy, We hadn't booked a table so we were told that we may not be able to dine. As we travelled from Bradford, we were told we could wait until a certain time if the party that had been booked hadn't arrived. Well, the party didn't arrive and we were given a table, I can not honestly fault this place. From customer service to the food service, everything was spot on. It's a Saturday night and considering how busy they were every customer was well looked after with the same level of service throughout. We enjoyed our mocktails and the mains were amazing. We also got a complimentary free dessert and were so touched by this gesture. Danyal who went out of his way from when we came into the place to leaving was a star. Definitely recommend this place you will not be disappointed.”

“Loved our experience at Gaucho. Some items were not photographed as it was all gobbled up too quickly! Place is lovely and the service excellent. Honestly, customer service is top notch; our waiter was very helpful, welcoming and friendly. We had the fillet and another type of steak recommended by staff. We got a side of truffle mac & cheese, chips, and rocket salad which were all very delicious. The cheesecake dessert was the best we ever tried & the brownie was average to be honest. Theres a lovely selection of drinks that is inclusive of those who do not prefer alcohol as well. It was a fantastic experience & we will definitely be coming again.”

“Great chips and great fish. All reasonably priced. Staff are all nice and chatty. Only chip shop we go to. Parking on the road. Super friendly to kids.”

“After staying here with my husband in the summer we returned last weekend to celebrate our anniversary. This hotel is really great, central location so easy walking distance to bars/restaurants/shops and just round the corner from Chinatown and the Gay Village. Both times the rooms have been lovely, we went for a bigger room the second time we visted as the standard rooms are a bit small (but very comfortable). The staff are always really friendly and helpful and the hotel even set the room up with a special complimentary anniversary treat for us. Breakfast and the bar are both nice too. Price is reasonable for a nice, central hotel and having stayed at a lot of different hotels in Manchester I'd recommend it as a fun place to stay. We will definitely be choosing to stay here again next time we're in the city!”

“Delicious meal (and catering for me, super fussy vegan, was no problem at all), excellent service and a really well organised dining area with tables spaced out without losing the lovely atmosphere.”

“We had a meal on 12/03/23 in miller & carter kings street. Our server was Emma and i must say she went above and beyond. My partner dropped it in that it was birthday and to my embarrassment but also delight she made the occasion that bit extra special. The food was also 10/10. Will definitely be back. Thanks again.”

“The best Indian in the area. Food was fresh and tasted delicious. Waiters were attentive and helpful.”

“I have stayed in numerous hotels in Manchester however this is has got to be the best one I have stayed at so far! I recently stayed here for my friends birthday, the Guest Relations Manager was super accommodating and helped me setup my room for my friends birthday. She even kindly left a birthday card and small cake for my friend, thank you Viktorija. Exceptional 5 star service from all staff right from checking in right up until checking out and leaving the hotel. This was definitely a 5 star experience for myself and the welcome received from all staff was amazing. We had a small issue where our heating in the room was not working however the hotel accommodated promptly with a portable heater. Spa was also so beautiful and the overall look of the hotel is so aesthetically pleasing! 100% recommend this hotel, I don’t think I will book anywhere else now, it’s going to be my go to 5 star hotel. Can’t wait to be back! Thank you to all staff at The Edwardian this hotel is beautiful!!!!”

“An ideal place to go with teenage children for a birthday meal. There is plenty to choose from on the menu and the food is very good. I like being able to choose my own sauce from the side counter and to top up on soft drinks. We all enjoyed it and the food was reasonably priced. We will definitely be going back.”

“Fantastic hotel and great staff who went the extra mile for us. Lovely comfortable rooms with some really nice touches including a fridge. Breakfast was excellent and staff got us some freshly cooked vegetarian sausages. 10/10, we’ll hopefully be back again soon.”

“Very posh ambiance. Staff were friendly and accommodating. A little bit on the pricey side but it's worth every penny. Would come back again when i visit Manchester.”

“Amazing place for the whole family grab some food in the restaurant starting with meatballs and chips that are one of a kind. Through the maze of awesome products and in the end at the warehouse if you and your kids want to misbehave you can ride on top of the flatbed trolleys. In conclusion IKEA Manchester is the place to be for shopping and a way to have a nice day out.”

“Absolutely wonderful Spa experience! I had an amazing full body massage, enjoyed a relaxing facial and even got a lovely manicure. The staff are so lovely and sweet, especially the lovely Danae who also me through my treatments. Cannot recommend this place enough, always such great service every time!”

“akasushi_mcr The latest newest sushi spot to open. Just on the outside of China town located in Blue Whale Supermarket Aka Sushi brings fresh quality sushi to MCR. Set in a simple setting, aka sushi dishes really do speak volume. With a small open kitchen and what seems like a huge menu everything is prepared there and then. We ordered: Sushi Set A (16 pieces) consisted of: 3 Salmon Sashimi, 3 Tuna Sashimi, 3 Salmon Nigiri, 3 Tuna Nigiri, 4 Salmon Roll & Seaweed Salad. Salmon Bento Box: Salmon Fillet, rice, chips, salmon sashimi, seaweed salad & baby leaf salad. The box usually comes with chicken too but it's not halal so we were allowed to swap it. Food was served quickly, presented nicely and was really good. Definitely a good sushi spot. Location: Unit 1, St James Tower, 7 Charlotte Street, Manchester, M1 4DZ Monday to Sunday 12-10pm”

“Great little place to grab some food, loads of space to throw a blanket on the floor if no seats ( it does get busy at times ) and let kids run about, quality food and great staff.”

“This was a fantastic pub to visit, having a glorious design persisting on the walls, ceiling and counter! The lights and the silver design at the counter are beautiful too, where a marvellous dark layout is utilized. I sat at a comfortable seat next to artwork frames, enjoying a refreshing drink after quick service and the area was clean!”

“Stopped on the way on holiday and the room, restaurant and service was all good. Booked a last minute night returning due to a very delayed flight, and again got a good rate and good service. The cherry on the top was a surprise bottle of wine to celebrate our honeymoon. Not expected at all and such a lovely gesture. ☺️”

“I’m Gna give the stars. Mainly for the service. The food was good. Not like wow factor but tasty and good. For the money..... it’s very good value. The staff are really good. Like really really good! I asked an opinion on a dish the chap servicing me was quiet a big guy. Kept calling me brother and called my wife sister which was really nice of him ..... the guy got the dish out from the kitchen ! Just to show me ! That’s some serious stuff. Really kind. Really cold glass of water. We ordered half chicken and a Parmeasan dish too. I will always go back. I go there a lot but never left a review. But as for my last visit. This is needed.”

“Amazing stay at victory hotel lovely large rooms for me and my family. staff where so Polite and helpful and lovely to talk to. Food was spectacular . Highly recommend staying here and eating here. Also went to a wedding here and the staff did perfect job made the day run smoothly and was very friendly and helpful to everyone at the wedding.”

“Very hygienic and tasty tandoori/ kebab restaurant. Great meal deals for the price. Primarily a takeaway but plenty of sit-down space available as well. There is free parking available on site. Staff are very polite and service is fast. I'd highly recommend the seekh kebab and lamb chops”

“I didn’t have high hopes for this place after reading some of the reviews posted here. However, we booked it as part of a ‘Date Night’ package with the Macdonald Hotel and I have to say I was actually very impressed with both the food and the service. I ordered fish and chips and my husband ordered the burger. My fish and chips was possibly the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant - perfectly cooked fish with the chunkiest chips I’ve ever seen! It came with a generous dollop of tartare sauce which was absolutely delicious. My husband’s burger also looked yummy - a proper thick juicy burger, well garnished and with a decent portion of fries. The waiting staff who served us were very polite and efficient too. I don’t think there’s anything I could find fault with. If I had to be picky about anything I’d say the air conditioning was possibly a bit on the chilly side but it didn’t make our evening any less enjoyable.”

“Without a doubt the best pizza… no arguments. Big portions, quality ingredients and great service. The shop is brilliant too, refreshing to see some effort in the decors in a takeaway. Highly recommended.”

“Came for a meal with my parents & we were all absolutely blown away. Incredible flavours, so so filling & an absolutely beautiful venue- staff were really friendly & helpful too! We'll definitely be back soon!”
