Top 30 Best Local dining in Manchester

“Found this little gem yesterday when visiting the area and stopped for lunch. Wow, unexpected delight. The ambiance was friendly and welcoming and the server was really polite and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend.”

“I found myself back in Davyhulme, and had another breakfast and pot of tea. Once again, everything was perfect. Great food and wonderful staff”

“Fantastic food, great service and a couple of very happy diners! Everything we ordered was delicious - the prawn 65, lamb sukka and the crispy okra were all full of flavour, as were the lamb xacuti curry and prawn biryani. Highly recommend a visit!”

“Absolute belting little Chinese, the food was excellent.”

“My go to weekly takeout. All their menu tastes great. Can't go wrong”

“This brewery outlet and restaurant has a pleasant green setting in Old Glossop with outdoor and indoor seating, helpful staff and imaginative options on the menu, including vegan and veggie ones - a lot of the options are light bites rather than full meals, and of course there are the various house beers. The pictured jerk chicken dish really was divine and as you can see also nicely presented. I liked the chef's dedication and enthusiasm. It's worth going to try some dishes that are a bit different, even if you're not big on beer. On that topic, I haven't the heart to deduct a star for it, but it is a shame that no alcohol-free beer is on offer, and secondly, I once ordered a home-brewed 'Hefeweizen' which is a German-style wheat beer cloudy with yeast in it, and it was served lukewarm. Being firstly German and secondly a refreshing summer drink this type of beer absolutely needs to be consumed properly chilled!”

“Absolutely blooming fantastic. Our first time visiting this lovely little restaurant, but will not be our last. Already planning round 2.”

“Had the prawn yakisoba noodles, it was absolutely delicious, staff are very friendly, will definitely return”

“I love this cafe on my street. The food is lovely and staff are really helpful and friendly”

“Love this place!! Hard to say which one is my favourite coz they all tasted so good. The Deshi breakfast is one of the top favourites as it so traditional - spices and portion is bang on! The Naga Fries are a MUST - couldn’t stop eating them even though I was full. The desserts are unbelievable - never heard of a place that does a Gulab Jamun Éclair - AMAZING!! Definitely a place to visit.”

“Excellent coffee and pastries. Attentive and friendly staff.”

“What a lovely coffee shop that serves light snacks too. I had the Greek Melt that was very tasty and my wife had the tuna salad sandwich. We sat in the front garden that's full of beautiful flowers. Staff were so friendly that is norm in this part of the country.”

“A lovely new quiet with great décor place. Good seating space including a garden. We will call again.”

“It wasn't planned but we decided to try this Cafe which is in the area Chorlton, Manchester. My wife actually wanted to try some new dish in Vegetables. She ordered "Baba Ganouch Vegetables" (Potatoes, salad, roasted aubergine and humus with Pitta bread) and I ordered "Chicken Shawarma Wrap "with roasted vegetables and fried on the side with chilly sauce. Both items were cooked in front of me and were fresh. We really enjoyed our meal. It's a nice small cafe with good food. At least try it once. I will go again... I am gonna share some pictures which I took at the café of our own orders”

“Excellent food, Excellent service. I would recommend stopping by for a full English breakfast or anything to do with breakfast or lunch. Everything is fresh and made to order. Thanks Maz! Nice meeting you!”

“Lovely food at reasonable price. Quick service and comfortable.”

“Friendly staff,good food and very reasonably priced”

“Great ambience. My Mum has arthritis and struggles with larger cups, the staff brought different cups to see which she could manage best. Had pancakes with bacon plus 2 eggs, delicious food and coffee.”

“Very friendly cafe with small creative activities for children to do. Great baby change facilities and high chairs available too. Staff will help you lift your pram up the steps.”

“Excellent coffee, I had a flat white well presented with impressive latte art. Will come back if in Wilmslow”

“Another gem for Urmston with delicious decor and a fabulous ambience. Incredibly friendly welcome from artist and entrepreneur, Helen. Pram-friendly, especially in the covered outdoor area as well as some tables inside, great food options including vegan and gluten-free cakes. Stunning art gallery at the back with original art work too.”

“Just had the vegan special...wow !! I'm not even vegan but went full vegan option and it was banging!! Toasted to perfection and the addition of some chilli heat wave Doritos in it for that crunch took it to the next level. I had the Bhaji sandwich the other week which was awesome too but I think with maybe a little mint (vegan) Yoghurt on it would take it level with today's taste sensation. What do you think Rack?”

“This food is absolutely fantastic will come here again I had a omelette with mushrooms, chicken and bacon and it is the best I have ever had”

“Great little bar with fabulous staff! We hired the back room for a small birthday party. Adam was great, asking what drinks and music we'd like in advance. The room is small but it's big enough for 30 people to mingle. There's table service - and the staff were fantastic in operating the tab system, so you only pay for your own drinks. No food, but we could probably have ordered bar snacks. This was a lovely venue for a small party and the evening was made really special by the great staff.”

“Visiting Wonder Salon every 6 weeks is my treat!! It’s the most relaxing 3 hours I have in my busy life. Sam, Scott and the team are not only amazing hairdressers but they care so much. It’s a salon that offers a red carpet service in a warm and friendly environment.”
