Top 30 Best Outdoor dining area in Manchester

“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.”

“Lovely food, friendly warm feeling around this restaurant. The food was excellent, well priced. The starters and mains were delicious, I can be very fussy wrt cheese boards but No 4 are all over this, no cheese straight out of the fridge here, all beautifully presented, correct temp, ready to eat and enjoy! Our second time but will definitely return. Occasion: wife's birthday, went down v nicely thank you, the fudge gift was a welcome and thoughtful touch.”

“Some of the best Shawarma if eaten, period, and very reasonably priced at that, costing now £3.50 for a chicken shawarma wrap. Best thing for me is the freshly cooked bread with every wrap! - makes it! Thought this place had closed down until recently, but it just moved from the the tiny adjacent shop to next door. Glad to know the Manchester staple is back. Great friendly service also. Highly recommend!”

“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..........”

“Greeted at the door. Took my son for a post football treat. Not that normal sort of place as is aimed at discerning diners/lunch seekers, we were lad and dad brunch seekers! The lady and gent that served us were really attentive and alert. Lovely with my 8 year old too. Divided things on menu to accommodate us and just made us feel like we could stay there all day it was that relaxed. Food was of a high standard and arrived still warm and fresh from the oven. Scotch bonnet chilli sauce was especially good which we got with our pizza. The sorbets are well above average too. All in all a great place, loved it! We were served by Elle and Isaac. Who enhanced an already good experience.”

“I do not leave reviews very often but I have to for this one. We came for a Christmas Eve meal in a beautiful setting. From the food all the way down to the service, they go above and beyond to make you have the best experience. Food is bursting with flavour and filling. Had some of the best service I’ve ever experienced here, staff are kind, friendly and fantastic with the children. I cannot fault anything with this restaurant at all. Thanks for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back soon!”

“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!”

“Firstly I think it’s important to note this is a cafe that is connected to a family support centre and counselling service. It’s cheap and it is supposed to be somewhere accessible for people who access the services next door, as well as for anybody who uses the park. I actually came here not because of this but because I had attended a baby class in the adjoining room, so my friend and I had coffee and cake here. It’s a great little place, so cheap and the staff are friendly too. There’s a seating area outside as well for warmer days. It’s a lovely little cafe if you’ve had a walk in the park or want to meet a friend with your little ones. They also offer a range of food and I’ve-cream in summer, but we always went primarily for coffee and cake, both of which were always spot on. We used to go here every week after baby classes, and will continue to do so after Covid. This cafe definitely deserves our support so that it stays open in the future.”

“I luv this place respect the staff and they respect me recommend jo as the 1 nicest managers all staff a fab berry clean pub atmosphere is amazing xxx”

“I've never been here before, so I booked a table for Valentine’s Day. Called the restaurant as we were running about 10 minutes late, and that was no issue. Got there and was seated right away. I got a table in the corner, which was nice, and also a red rose on the table for all dinners, nice Valentine’s Day touch. Had a choice of the main menu or special menu, ordered from the main menu. The food came quickly and was really nice. Will definitely go back.”

“Another great experience at The English Lounge… an 80th private party recently, where everyone had a great time. The staff, as always, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Particular thanks to Michael, Kieron and Dannie for looking after us all.”

“Great venue. Very comfortable and cosy. Lots of seating space. Lots of choice of drinks and recently started to do food again. Seasonal drinks available too. Sports games available on TV.”

“We have stayed at this PI regularly for about 15 years so that we can visit family. Even though team members have changed, it is still staffed by a great team of friendly and helpful staff and the rooms are spotlessly clean. Thank you all! However, over the last couple of years, a very clear and "uncomfortable" demarcation has evolved between this PI and the associated restaurant. The restaurant has extremely rigid rules for eating times etc. and enforces them in a forthright manner... it makes the whole hotel experience unpleasant. We prefer to eat at the great Café in Tesco, a short walk away. The staff are really lovely and the food is good - far less stressful.”

“Super peri peri Chicken restaurant in Manchester. I have had meals in this Nando's in Pars Wood several times. Never ever disappointed. Humus with peri peri spice is excellent. Grilled Halloumi fantastic. Staff is friendly. Nice ambiance. Quick turn around time. Sauces are amazing. Love the garlic peri peri medium. Even burgers are quite nice. Can be busy at times. Highly recommended.”

“I work in trafford park and heard this place do takeaway breakfasts as well as all you can eat sit in. I have been twice now and both times been very impressed with the service. For £6.99 You get a tray to help yourself to the breakfast carvery which is all you would expect to compile your favourite full english. There is offer of a drink too for extra £1 but have not yet tried it as we have brew making facilities at work. If you are looking for a full english in trafford park, sit in or take away then you cant really go wrong. Friendly staff, very nice tasting and quality, warm fresh food. Thank you all”

“For a great brekky and brew, call in and see Chris at GB butty van.”

“THE best Thai food in Manchster! Incredible service and the most delicious food! So grateful to be able to order every week!”

“This was a fantastic pub to visit, having a glorious design persisting on the walls, ceiling and counter! The lights and the silver design at the counter are beautiful too, where a marvellous dark layout is utilized. I sat at a comfortable seat next to artwork frames, enjoying a refreshing drink after quick service and the area was clean!”

“Fabulous family run business, very friendly team, with the best display of granite/Quartz that we had seen in a showroom. We love our granite table, perfect size and complements our new kitchen so well. Great communication regarding the customisation and the delivery. Would 100% recommend this business !”

“Josh does a great job and is really reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommended!!”

“Service second to none, food is incredible and such good value. Tracey always makes the dining experience here that much more pleasurable”

“This place is my go-to whenever I want a good takeout meal, or some lovely Iranian food. The staff are extremely friendly and give a good service. The food is really delicious. Really recommend it. Great place lads. Keep it up!”

“I really loved the pizza and the guy was so friendly. Chatted me up to kill time while I was waiting for my pizza. And the garlic sauce was the best. Said he made it himself. Loved every bit of it”

“Food is very good, I would recommended the sundried tomato, mozzarella and pesto panini and the Italian Burger. Service is very good. Prices are very reasonable. Food is good quality. I’ve had breakfast/brunches from other local shops, however A Bite2Eat is the best one.”

“Probably the best burgers I have ever tasted from a food van, and the rest of the menu is just as good. I would highly recommend the piri-piri chicken and halloumi wrap with everything on. Order ahead or get there early though as it is very popular and gets busy quickly. especially around lunch times.”
