Local food scene in Manchester

“Great food from a talented chef I've tried the Benny's burger and enjoyed every bit of it! Highly recommended”

“After living in Manchester for 6 months I figured I’d find out more about this city. My girlfriend and I did the free walking tour hosted by Josh. He was very passionate about this city and told many interesting stories and helped us discover some hidden gems.”

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

“A gem of a shop in Mossley, a proper Aladdin's cave, nothing is ever to much trouble, staff always willing to answer questions about the products they sell, offer good recommendations. Always a warm welcome x”

“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.”

“Food is immaculately good. We enjoyed a three course meal at Dishoom. The variety of food is great for Vegetarian and Vegans too. The unlimited tea lasts until 5pm Although, service is slow the food makes up for it. It was unbelievably hot on the day we visited, the air-conditioning was not on.”

“Very nice and authentic Thai restaurant, highly recommended!”

“Had a wonderful time at the September pop-up event, every course was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. The menu was full of tasty ingredients from start to finish and we can’t wait to try more dishes! Laurie is obviously a talented chef and the serving team were lovely too. Great atmosphere in a cool venue. Highly recommended!”

“Well positioned shop, with ample space for the full Rapha range. Usually have good stock of most items and staff are very helpful and friendly. The cafe is also a gem, serving great coffee and a selection of cakes, sandwiches etc. Little pricey, but it is rapha after all! There is usually some cycling on the big screens, and a nice atmosphere. The window bar seats are a great place to people watch over King Street.”

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

“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 great place! Here you can find a lot of different small shops. Everything is handmade. You can buy a special and unique gifts here. I really suggest this place to everyone who loves find something different. You can also have a break in the coffee shop inside the building. Really really nice.”

“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”

“First time trying blonde lady very friendly let us try sauce before ordering. Left pasta in photo is salmon and right picture is spicy chicken. Spicey chicken with mild sauce was really tasty glad I didn't have the spicey sauce as it would have been too spicy. Salmon was also tasty aswell which I never really eat. Decent portions we ordered two large pastas and two decent drinks for around 20 pound and we was that fill we didn't have the energy to finsh off shopping ha ha .”

“Booked a table for a get together with friends. The food was fantastic, great service and a lovely waitress! Many thanks and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely place to go with kids. Free parking has a pay what you can option for stay and play. And has the hope centre here too. Available for all M31 residents!!”

“Excellent staff, beer and prices. Visited this at the weekend when Manchester was baking and City was playing their first home game of the season. So was a little worried about what the service would be like. I needn't have worried. Fast friendly service all day. We stopped just for one, but when we got seats and a table in the sun and had our first pint of Jimmy's Cider, one quickly turn into half a dozen! Even though the place was hammered before kick-off time the service was wonderful. I had just had a very bad experience at the Crown and Kettle and boy oh boy they could do with visiting here and seeing what customer service is all about. Will be back again. Thanks all for making our day!”

“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.”

“Delicious vegan options. Very filling and big portions. Great meat free versions. Even my non-vegan family loved them.”

“It was a great experience with my colleagues for a birthday. We didn't eat, but we heard a lot about how delicious their food. We will try ASAP. Thanks everyone for serving on that night. We highly recommend their cocktails. We will be back soon.”

“Great place to eat some nice Indian food. Some of the items are a bit expensive but I think for the flavours and portion size it's acceptable. Also environment is very traditional Indian and friendly staff. If you need like enjoying some nice Indian meals. I would reccomend Indian tiffen room.”

“Really decent spot ideal for a gig at the Albert Hall next door. Huge range of ale on offer, the burgers were awesome and cannot compliment the staff enough who made us feel welcome and offered great table service despite being busy the whole time we were there. I put a specific request on the table booking and got exactly what we asked for. It was very much appreciated. Easy to imagine a place like this being a bit too cool, staff being a bit detached, but not at all. Also decent indie play list on the whole time we were there. Top top place!”

“Stayed for a few nights, service from the staff was outstanding, I have very rarely seen such a feindly and dedicated bunch of people. I had a minor heath issue with my wife while staying and the female on duty in the early hours of the morning was outstanding arrange taxi, making sure my wife was OK and supplying advice. This person went out of her way the next day to check up on my wife to ensure she was OK. The young staff working in the dinning area were so helpful and friendly. All staff went out of there way to help and make our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel as a 5 star accommodation.”

“I've been ordering from here for just over a year. So this review isn't based on one meal. I've never seen a single order dip in quality. Every time has been consistent. The food we order is definitely value for the money and I have not had any issues with lateness. I will continue to use this place.”

“Really good experience. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Sat in there studying on my laptop during a fairly busy time for 3hrs and wasn’t bothered or asked to move etc. Would recommend this restaurant as a nandos to go to.”

“Had a great experience at Mowgli’s in Manchester’s Corn Exchange. Booking highly recommended. Great drinks list with a range of delicious cocktails and interesting wines. We ordered a bottle of the Romanian Pinot Noir which was very enjoyable. Food was great, but it is absolutely tiny portions, and as a table of 7 it would have been handy had the wait-staff advised us about portion sizes and encourage us to get two of each or something. Everyone was very excited about the yoghurt bombs so we ended up ordering another round of those, as well as the sticky chicken and angry chicken. The curries were excellent too, and we ordered more plus extra roti’s (flat breads). Three bowls of rice was plenty for the table. The bill worked out at £29 a head which was extremely good value.”

“Lovely Italian place around Arndale. Food was good, particularly enjoyed the calamari antipasti. The waiters are friendly and happy to make suggestions when asked.”

“Very nice place to have a few drinks and some delicious pub food reasonably priced. The Botanist is beautifully decorated, the cocktails and selection of drinks is is impressive. I really enjoyed my halloumi hanging kebab and sweet chili fries. The staff is very approachable and attentive. Special thanks to our waiter Sam who kindly made sure that we were happy and well attended at all times. Will go back :)”

“If you want your fried chicken or donner fix as a veggie - this is the place to go. I've taken many meat eating friends and they love this too! Great portions, fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. Go once and you'll keep going back!”

“Highly recommended. Superb food and very helpful and friendly staff. We were seated right away, and the food we got was freshly cooked and tasty as anything. Highly recommend the Chicken and Bacon pancakes!”
