Top 30 Best Friendship dining in Manchester

“Been here twice. Both times really enjoyed it. Cosy and friendly The service was fantastic the food and atmosphere was great with the chill out music. I had afternoon tea the first time which was lovely and the vegan wrap and home made soup second time. Really good value for money and very tasty. Little gem in Gee Cross.will be going again soon”

“Veeeeery good. We turned up without a booking and a 3yr old fookin nightmare. They were more than welcoming, taking care of the fookin nightmare with profiteroles from the off, then the wife and I enjoyed the best hot pots ever. Shame there isn't an option for 6 stars”

“Just around the corner, this place stood out ever since we moved in the area! Great coffee, good food with a lot of options for brunch, lunch and dinner. Very good offerings for veggies too. Lovely atmosphere with some dogs always around! Despite lacking on natural light, it’s a warm, welcoming and pleasant place to be!”

“Can’t say a bad word about the experience. First time in Manchester for my step-sisters 40th and we came across this amazing and cute pub! Lovely atmosphere with a charming young bartender called Joshua who is a very witty individual to say the least and had my sister in stitches all night! Will definitely return here again shall I find myself in manchester!”

“Reading the other recent reviews here, I can understand the general comments. We waited about 20 minutes for our drinks, but nothing else went wrong at all. The food we ate was first class, we all finished the lot! We were served by a man with glasses called Will. He literally didn't stop in the 2 hours we were there. He was so friendly, nothing was too much trouble. He clearly understands his job role. Unfortunately the other staff members didn't seem as switched on. In my opinion of course. So for Will's first class service, as well as the exceptional food, 5 stars. We just hope it isn't Will's day off when we return!”

“Food and mocktails were amazing. Great menu and good portion sizes. I would go back and try different items on the menu. I had the chicken Mexican sizzler and my friend had the cream chicken with mash potatoes, green beans and creamy sauce”

“Down to Earth friendly people in an old-fashioned style pub. Great landlord and landlady”

“Absolutely gorgeous and mouth watering, every piece of the meat had its special taste, i usually dont like meats but i fell in love with them instantly, sirloin was very soft and juicy and literally melting in my mouth, lamb chops itself full of flavour, and chicken steak as you would think this would get dry but it was very juicy and soft, i would definitely recommend this place as everything was made right infront of me , very fresh and tasty, its a very new business so definitely give it a try,”

“Great, authentic Ethiopian restaurant within easy walking distance of town and Piccadilly and Oxford Rd stations. The restaurant is up the spiral staircase which appears you enter Istanbul Kebab shop! Several Ethiopian couples were eating when we entered - which was encouraging. We ordered lamb tibs, and misir what with injera. Food was good portion size - we couldn't finish it - and tasted great. The waiter and staff were smiling and super friendly and helpful. The bill was very reasonable - recommended - will return.”
