Top 30 Best Meals out for one in Manchester

“Very much well above average Chinese takeaway. Really good quality and care in the cooking. Far better that it’s predecessor which was in the same spot. Better than a lot of the restaurants in China town.”

“Firstly my photos are rubbish and don't capture the food as well as it should. Also, I forgot to take photos of the full sea bream in champagne sauce, or the bone marrow served with Pommes Anna, we just got too hungry and forgot! Pig's Head croquette - wonderfully crispy on the outside, with a strong fatty pork flavour which I loved, outstanding! Bone Marrow with Pommes Anna - juicy, delicate, and the mouth feel of the fat coating your tonuge - gorgeous. Needed the salty pommes anna alongside for the perfect mouthful. Charred Hispi cabbage - a nice bitterness and complemented by the deep sauce. Beef shin and kidney rarebit pudding - a stodgy big portion, but the suet was light and crumbly, deep meaty flavours with the kidney not overpowering. This was a meal on its own! Roast duck with port sauce - perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. Sea Bream - whole sea bream which was perfectly roasted, champagne sauce was perhaps a little rich for us by then, but the chive oil did help to balance that out. House fries - nice, but we were stuffed so not really needed! No real complaints, it was busy and we hadn't booked, so we had to sit at the bar which wasn't the most comfortable. The food comes out as its ready which means we were left with the sea bream and fries at the end - would have been better if the order of dishes could have been rearranged, but anyway, this was a great meal. Including three soft drinks, only £92 for all that incredible food! Definitely need to go again!”

“Date of visit: December 2021 Came here for birthday celebrations I had the chicken kebab which was delicious and tender. The kebabs don't come with salad or carb sides so need to order separately. It's bring your own alcohol. Not perfectly wheelchair accessible but managed to get a space onto the table without much fuss over the step. Staff were lovely. Nice decor. Book in advance at busy times.”

“My daughter had a one hour settling in session at her nursery so I came here for a bru with another mum and the cafe was really busy which was a good sign. We sat in and drank out bru, I had a coffee and it was a big cup was lovely and the toilet was clean too will go again. Was a great price also”

“Came here today with my friend to grab a quick bite and some coffee ! My friend is coeliac and can never find cafés with gluten free bread. Although we know most restaurants can’t guarantee the risk of cross contamination, Katie made a conscious effort to ensure my friends toast was gluten free and prepared separately from mine. I will be returning, great family friendly place to pop by for a quick drink !”

“Wray's is great. All of the food I have tried so far is excellent as are the drinks and sweets. The service and atmosphere however is something else. Such a welcoming place.”

“We have just been for a viewing in the West Tower and I couldn’t fault it, the apartments are amazing and the facilities and amenities included are superb. Giandavid, who should us around the place, was extremely attentive and had an abundance of knowledge, being able to answer any queries or concerns we may have had. We would 100% recommend and can’t wait to move in.”

“Great laid back cinema with comfy seating. You can get Pizza and beer to take into the film, perfect! Has an arcade and ten pin bowling attached and always has a great atmosphere! Staff are friendly and love dressing up for the latest releases! There were some sights for Avatar!”

“We hired the upstairs room for a get together with friends. We had a fantastic time! The guys working there were friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make our time with them a great one. The Sunday roast was amazing! They put the menu together for us as they normally only do Brunch menu. Can’t recommend them enough. Thank you Dom, Joe and team.”

“Great little bar with friendly staff. Has a great atmosphere and great selection of drinks. Has an app you can place orders via and pay so super easy”

“Quirky with a vintage twist. I love this little café. It's so inviting and you can smell the beautiful food as you approach. The new location is definitely better for size. There's seating inside and out which makes a change for this area. I love the shear selection of tea and I'm slowly trying to work my way through them all. So far my favourite is the fairy wings tea. They also have a great milkshake selection. The bacon butties are amazing. Plus the homemade cakes and scones are a must try.”

“Great find for pizza in the edge of the Northern Quarter in Manchester city centre. Staff all appear Italian and are really friendly. All customers are"the Boss" . Pizzas were every bit as good as the photos. Reasonably priced too. Must try the swing seats the next time. Will go back the next time I'm in town.”

“Great authentic Italian restaurant, the courtyard makes you feel like you're in Southern Italy! Food is great quality and freshly made on the night. The pizza was smaller than I anticipated but that allowed for a more well rounded meal than you might get at another Italian restaurant as we also had room for a starter and a dessert. Covid safe and staff were very helpful and friendly.”

“Absolutely Amazing to be back at this fabulous restaurant not been here in 10 years (moved away from the area) the food was fantastic... Great value for money and staff excellent... The new interior was beautiful... Overall a fabulous experience comfy dining with fabulous food...”

“We often order from here for our Saturday night take away, lovely food, fresh, piping hot and delivered in fantastic time”

“The best Indian in the Saddleworth area! I was recommended this place years ago by a friend and have been coming here ever since. The chicken jalfrezi is my favourite with their peshwari naan, chicken chatt, onion bhajis popadoms and all the sauces. Murgh masalam is delicious, everything I’ve tried, is amazing and would recommend anyone to order from here!”

“Very clean, tidy and warm feeling. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Very nice beer and food was very tasty, me and my Mrs fully enjoyed our meal. Definitely go back.”

“The best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to, we brought my grandparents out for a meal and we were thrilled with the brilliant service and the food was exceptional!! We will never go anywhere else, thank you to Sonnie and your team - a beautiful meal.”

“Wish ide take a picture but was to keen to eat! I'm vegan and had the vegetable skewer starter and then the aubergine curry, it all tasted so fresh and healthy. The husband really enjoyed his chicken saag to, he said it was full of flavor. Great prices with the discount to, good proper authentic food. Food hot when arrived and delivered by a lovley gentleman. 100% recommend.”
