Top lunch spots in Manchester

“Always had decent food from Tai Hing. No complaints here.”

“This place is absolutely stunning with the friendliest staff in the world!! The food is out of this world too!”

“Absolutely hidden gem cafe in Stockport with good price. All the food source from the best in local farms. My son Luke loves the sausages so much and so am I. The other favorite is the mushroom soup, fresh made and creamy. If you want some dessert, I would highly recommend the Victoria sponge and fresh made pancake.”

“Friendly people running this place. They take orders over the phone and are really pleasant to me at 7:30am in the morning :-) I regularly order 'Breakfast Butties' from here as a treat for my group at work. They've never got my order wrong, it's always ready for the time I've organised. Egg, tomato, mushrooms, sausage, bacon etc. cooked perfectly and wrapped in foil. Money well spent in my opinion :-)”

“We were looking for a cosy pub to wait out the worst of a rainstorm and Church Inn was absolutely perfect! We were lucky enough to be in on the last day of their festive menu, which was both extremely tasty and great bang for buck. The staff were so polite and attentive despite clearly being very busy, and the decor is was beautiful. Dog friendly too!”

“Grubs good. Friendly staff.. Clean, good place 4 a sit down.. + they also deliver...”

“Popped in here wh n shopping, got say the lamb curry was beautiful. Made the naan bread to order. Would go again”

“Cheetham Star was closed for 19 months and finally its reopened. I really missed this place. Highly recommend their food, its usually delicious authentic middle eastern food, its fresh, especially the kobeda and chicken tikka on rice or naan. Really well made pizza's from here. Staff are friendly and the service is pretty quick, can eat inside or takeway. It can get busy at times. Really worth a visit. 5 stars!”

“Group of 7 (1 youngster) Good service, good food. We had Mains of sea bass, ribs, lasagne, pasta, child's pizza came with colouring book and crayons all good. Very happy!”

“I ordered a large breakfast for £5.95. Comes with 2 bacon, 2 sausage, hash brown, 2 eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and 2 toast. Plus £1.20 for a cup of tea. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The staff are very friendly and a credit to the cafe.”

“First visit and loved it so much. Got the full English and the portion was so huge, had to take the rest home. Lovely staff and gorgeous back garden where we ate. Will be back again soon!”

“GupShup is a rather special restaurant,the dishes are spiced so cleverly,full of flavours that excite your taste buds, you may not see your favourite curry on the menu here but don't worry the wonderful staff will guide you to a dish that delights !.”

“Great English breakfast. Good bread, good scrumbled eggs, delicious bacon.”

“So happy to have found this place; twice I’ve had fish & chips from there now and it is the best fish & chips I’ve ever had. Usually when ordering fish & chips from places, I will eat the fish and a few of the chips and bin the rest. On both occasions, I have actually enjoyed eating the chips as well as the fish, as the chips in this place are perfection itself! The fish is freshly cooked to order and they don’t hang around, they’re ‘on it’ as soon as you’ve placed your order. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.”

“Staff were lovely, welcome and very helpful. Service and food was great.”

“Excellent food at good prices. Well worth a visit..”

“Visited today and would highly recommend. Amazing food and incredible customer service. Special thanks to Nathan who couldn't have been kinder and was so accommodating. Thank you so much!”

“We stayed at City Suites and never normally use the hotel restaurant…I am so glad we did this time! Really lovely food with exceptional service from Veronica. All of the staff were very pleasant and the food was faultless. The staff even bought out a birthday cocktail for my birthday which was a really lovely and personal touch. We really enjoyed our visit and will happily recommend to all of our friends and family who visit Manchester.”

“Cant beat the staff the guy is lovely and great with kids, the food is always nice too both chinese and english especially the gravy! They deliver within a two mile radius for £1”

“Quite possibly the best chippy I've had in over 15 years. The chips were fantastic, the gravy was absolutely amazing and the sausage was delicious and had a much higher meat content than most chippy sausages I've ever had. Fast service and reasonable price too. Will be going again.”

“Definitely worth to try! It has the authentic Chinese taste. Crispy duck is the best. It's very hard to find Chinese restaurant around this area and this is a good one.”

“Pleasant staff, food cooked quickly, so didn't have to wait long. Food was hot, tasted fresh, nice flavours and meat was nice (not that rubbery, water injected stuff). Can't every remember having a bad meal from here. Welldone Little China.”

“Amazing staff, incredible food, incredibly helpful. Healthy food better than other Chineses. Digests easier. Lower sodium and msg than any othe Chinese in the area. Boxes are unfoldable so no clean up required. Massive portions. Even a lunch time discount and free drinks on promotion. Always accommodating even neat closing time and helpful suggesting other ways to order just in case the shop front closes before customers can complete their order. 11/10 stop using other takeaways.”

“Best chippy around for me ! I grew up round here with this as my local and ive moved since and tried many chinese chippy’s which none match up to this one ill drive 25 mins happily for my kam seng fix ! S+p wings and ribs are amazing And there mixed meat satay is devine and like nothing iv ever tasted !”

“Fantastic, staff are great very polite and environment is clean. Best chippy in radcliffe by far. Never disappointed with any meals ordered.”

“Absolutely best burger I have ever had banging chips too ! Shame about it being over an hour late and nearly stone cold suppose that could be Ubers fault ! Would definitely order again and maybe pick up so it's fresh”

“Food was amazing, we had a grand platter that was such a delight fed 5 of us till we were about to burst. It was delicious, meat was succulent and it is presented beautifully with so many great options. Highly recommended. Seating is quite cramped and cosy but the food is worth it.”

“Excellent food and service great friendly people all around awesome place”

“Great service today I enjoyed toasted tea cake and herbal tea very much this afternoon at 1 55pm. Thursday 10th November very polite staff in this establishment keep up the good work x”

“My fav! Milkshakes are impeccable. Don’t come here much for food so can’t speak about that.. but I can say the service is quick, the waiters are kind and the prices are so reasonable for what you get.”
