Top 30 Best Friend food nights in Manchester

“Delicious food ...lovely atmosphere..great service ... I highly recommend this place”

“What a fantastic dining experience. We could smell the aroma of Indian spices as we walked into the restaurant. Every dish we had was of the highest quality, nicely prepared, and excellence served on plates. Marcus, thank you very much for your gracious hospitality.”

“Good place - they got out order wrong and had to pay an extra £7”

“Scott has been walking my dog, Rupert, for nearly 1.5 years. He started doing puppy visits initially until he was vaccinated which he then joined the group walks. Throughout it all Scott has been amazing with him and Rupert gets so excited every time he gets picked up! The best touch on it is the updates via Instagram stories where I can see my little boy running around being happy. I highly recommend the value of the service for the price compared to doggy day care.”

“We went here on the second day. They have a very nice and simple menu of great traditional Mediterranean dishes. We tried a wide selection of starters, mains and desserts and they all deliver very high quality whilst being very well priced. The service is very friendly and it is a welcome and addition to the area, you will not be disappointed.”

“Incredible cinema, great atmosphere. You can have food and drinks served to you whilst you watch your movie. Great night out.”

“Parked at the carpark next door and thought we-d try it out before leaving the city centre and it was the best sushi we've had in a while. Would defo recommend this place, what a great little gem. The food was nice and fresh and the staff were super friendly and very helpful.”

“Overwhelmingly positive experience. Got recommended a rare wine from Uruguay that was the best wine I’ve tried. The meat variety and quality is ridiculously good, the waiters keep coming to offer new cuts of meat with a span of minutes until you stop them, and trust me you will. I was there for 2 and a half hours and ate all I could, nobody rushed me and the service is 10/10. I would highly recommend this place either for a date, going out with friends or family. It’s great for any case. I’ll have to fast for a day after this, but worth it!”

“As ever with Hawksmoor, fabulous steak. This experience was really great to us thanks to Benedicts amazing service. Knowledgeable about anything on the menu and a pleasure to be served by. Always order the sticky toffee pudding. Trust me.”

“Had a fabulous stay here, well worth the money. Staff were awesome, felt really welcomed and was clear to see they enjoyed being there too which was great. Loved the food and of course the beer! Can't wait to come back again soon!”

“first time going to this branch and it did not disappoint. Manager was really helpful as other half couldn't remember what he usually orders, drinks really hit the spot as it was so warm out. Food was amazing highly recommended and will definitely be back! Nice atmosphere and great staff.”

“What can I say? Incredible doesn't quite cover it. My niece and I went yesterday as a treat for her 30th birthday. We were greeted with a smile, the door opened for us, and promptly taken up to homage on the mezzanine level above the glorious and very impressive restaurant. We were seated in the most exquisite room, and both felt very special indeed. Our jackets were taken and hung, the menu's described to us. We each ordered a cocktail to start, and these were delicious . Amy had the special cocktail of the day which was aptly called lovely lady ( very fitting for my niece) and I really wanted something with an almond flavour, so one was created for me, very impressive. We then ordered our cheeses, 3 to start, and we paired these with wine. We followed this with even more of the extensive cheese selection. Again paired with wine. Each cheese has a chutney alongside it to pair with the flavour of the cheese. Some little bread roll, and some biscuits that basically melted in your mouth. I even had a dessert which was incredible, unfortunately I cannot remember the name of this, but it was a little like a creme brulle, with tonka bean flavour ( similar to vanilla) it had the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The room we were in was absolute luxury. There was relaxing background music, candlelight everywhere, very comfortable chairs, an extremely intimate feeling to it. We literally had the room to ourselves which made it feel even more special. The bathroom is situated on the same floor which is great. Last but by no means least , Michael was our incredible host, very knowledgeable about every wine and cheese, extremely professional, attentive and I would say an absolute asset to Wood. Thank you Michael for making our visit so memorable and special. I would highly recommend homage at Wood. You will not be disappointed.”

“Fabulous food, we were a party of four, we all ordered different food, it was all equally delicious. Wonderful, attentive service from a family business. Was great that we could bring our own wine. Would highly recommend”

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

“Hired here for my grandsons 21st,they were excellent, couldn't thank them enough.Staff were really friendly and very helpful and efficient. Thank you.”

“Visited the Rebellion for the King Buffalo gig, Lowdrive were the open act. Absolute banging band, we had an excellent night. All the staff were polite friendly and helpful. Great venue and highly recommended. We will be back!!!”

“A breath of fresh air in wythenshawe. Tasty food! Curly fries with sweet chilli and garlic mayo is amazing!!”

“Really good bar -tasty cocktails and seriously abides by social distancing rules while providing a brilliant experience for all the people coming to enjoy a drink! Would definitely recommend at the end of a night out xxx”

“The food was good, as was the service. It wouldn't be fair to comment on the atmosphere as we called late on a Sunday night. Nothing was too much trouble for the guys there, and pizzas were served promptly. Really loved the sourdough texture.”

“Sapporo Teppanyaki is a great place to dine. The food is delicious and a wide variety of items is available. From beef to lamb to fish to veggie options. They confirmed that the chicken and lamb is halal. The taste of their items is also very good. Sushi tastes great as well and so does their dessert. Booking is highly recommended if you want a place at one of the live cooking stations.”

“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 place! It's small so I'd recommend booking. Even on a cold wet tuesday night it was busy. Food is excellent. Didnt know Indian Scottish tapas existed before eating here. Nice and relaxed but attentive service. Theyve got that spot on. Alastair was really helpful with choices. Will definitely be back.”

“This place offers THE BEST beef steaks I've had! The decor and ambience just puts you in the right mood for a grand feast.”

“Loved the atmosphere very busy. Very tasty and fresh food. Good portion size and attentive staff and very helpful. Great menu and price. Fantastic service. Even better its bring your own ALCOHOL and free Corkage which helps keep the bill down making it a affordable evening. Will be back and recommend..........”

“Excellent. I love South Indian food so it's great to see this place open in Burnage. The food was fresh and very, very tasty. Although there is plenty of choice on offer, it's still refreshing to see a modern, well designed menu in an Indian restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“As always, the same high standard as I have come to expect from Premier Inn. The room was immaculate and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was a good base, just a short walk from Spinningfields and the cocktails we had enjoyed earlier in the night. The hotel also had an option to store luggage once we checked out. They asked for a donation for this, which we gladly paid as all the money went to their chosen charity!”

“Food was very nice, staff were very polite. Would recommend.”

“Absolutely amazing cocktail bar. Staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, I even asked for a cocktail not on the list and they made it. I cannot recommend this bar enough. Plus really good music, and a fantastic live singer on the Sunday night. If you're in the area go to this bar.”

“Walked past it thousand times but never tried until recently. What a gem. The chefs are Thai which will set the tones for the dishes which have that vibe and authentic zing you don't usually find in fake takeaways. Bill was reasonable and the dishes were superb. Got a last minute table and yet was welcomed to sit down and eat till I could. Lovely waitress.”

“Gorgeous and delicious food!! Friendly staff ,nice atmosphere!”
