The 30 Best Authentic pub experience in Manchester

“We went on a Sunday afternoon and had the all you can eat buffet. The food is very tasty and the quality is excellent. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. For £14.95 the buffet is excellent value for money. The atmosphere is relaxed and modern. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.”

“Outstanding. Best Cantonese meal for miles in the area. Stunning food. Cant wait to return!”

“A wonderful experience at Cafe Istanbul! The food and service were divine, and the atmosphere was perfect. It's an ideal spot for an evening with family and friends”

“We are meeting us a group of five for our annual Christmas sharing meal. This is my first time at Albert’s and I have to say the food was amazing. The service was brilliant. Steak was cooked to perfection. That peppercorn sauce was fantastic and Elly who was our server very helpful?”

“Best Turkish food in Manchester. Authentic flavours with very affordable prices. Quality of the meat is excellent too. 10/10”

“Nice food, good portions and good price, but what is more special about this place is the staff. They were super friendly and helpful, always with a great attitude but letting you feel relaxed (I hope you guys feel genuinely happy to work there and your employer recognizes your effort!). Certainly I’ll pick this place for a next meal for the whole experience.”

“First time eating a Neel Paneer and will definitely be returning. Delicious food and lovely staff. Large portion sizes meant we had some to take home to enjoy the next day!”

“popped in on my own as I’ve never tried it here, only ordered a few starters and two pints. What an excellent Indian, best in Glossop 100%, very attentive staff, top food and fairly priced. I will definitely be returning for a banquet!”

“Open for 2months, were went for the first time and everyone loved it. We were quick to be seated, staff very helpful and courteous. Enjoyed the meal, the settings are very plush and modern. Will be back with bigger family. Mixed started flavours were spots on, the Sanah special burger was tasty and the naan were some of the best around. Bit pricey but you certainly worth it.”

“Lidia was extremely professional and very friendly as always...! The food was also very good...! We had arrabiata with prawns and it was gorgeous..! We will be back soon...! Until then....”

“Last week we were [invited] to Sotto for "Tales of the Med" with Stir by night which involved bottomless tapas, paella, pizza and pasta Sotto is a fusion of Spanish and Italian cuisines which has resulted in a combination of homely, fresh food made with passion. Our night began with a coktail, the first of many....so the concept for this night was to bring s bottle of spirits which the @stirbynight guys would craft into genius cocktails as we feasted. I was very impressed with every drink they made with my favourite being gin based and served in a glass of powered beetroots, this resulted in a vibrant shokicng pink cocktail The food was crazy. Not just in flavour but in quantity! I have never been so full that I have had to force myself to eat mushroom and truffle ravioli before, it's a favourite of mine and I was tortured by its beautiful smell as I collapsed in a glutenous heap We were served pizza, Spanish tortilla, patatas bravas and olives before a very unique dish was served (The 4th picture) At first glance I thought this was a paella, but it was actually made of pasta cut finely and cooked with clams and parsley. It was very unusual and like nothing I've had before, personally I did not enjoy this as much as the actual paella that was served later on The chicken paella was absolutely beautiful, it was cooked in a traditional method from the region of Spain the owner Athena is from. I filled up on this a bit too much but paella is up there in the lisy of my favourite foods My favourite dish was the deep fried ravioli! Stuffed with spinach and ricotta, deep fried and topped with a tomato based sauce with Chorizo. This was incredible!! Definitely an amazing invention and a trend needing to kick off Overall we had an amazing experience, theres too much food to talk about. Big thank you to Sotto and Stir by Night for having us. Check out Sotto's website for more info on the bottomless tapas night and also read up the VIVA magazine review on google @robbie.reviews on Instagram”

“I have been here twice now. A real authentic Italian experince. The food is excellent value for money and really tasty. The staff are friendly and polite. I will definelty return again.”

“Amazing food, excellent quality friendly staff, great service what more do you need!!! (Cheesy garlic bread is the best around!!)”

“Hands down, the best Asian food we've ever eaten! I was a bit taken back by its location in a casino. It is catering for their guests and I really didnt expect it to be so nice. But omg! It was stunning. It is the most authentic Chinese/Japanese food. I will be revisiting.”

“Went there last minute as our other plans didn't work out. I have to say I was shocked by how good the food was as I hadn't heard anything about the place. First of all I love the decor. They have made a really nice and cosy environment. And the food was just beautiful. I will definitely go back. The young staff were so good and well mannered.”

“Not from around this area but all the locals made us feel welcome. Staff were brilliant and the pint was even better. Would recommend for anybody in the area and the tourists that come to Radcliffe!”

“Lovely welcoming Pub, really nice Bar Staff too, we will be back.x”

“Brilliant family pub .. a rugby and football pub nice and friendly bar staff Dj On fri and sat and bank holiday sundays piol table to back area to sit in and also tables n chairs at front of pub”

“Great Irish pub! Good Guinness and good selection of Irish whiskey too. We came on the weekend so quite busy but a good vibe. Will definitely be back here and recommend it for anyone coming for drinks in town.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Warm Welcome from Elaine and the Black Dog Pub Team Elaine, the landlady of the Black Dog Pub in Belmont Village, deserves the highest praise. From the moment we arrived as new residents, she and her wonderful staff welcomed us with immense warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere they’ve created at the Black Dog is friendly, inviting, and full of community spirit — exactly what every village pub should be. It’s quickly become our favourite local spot and a big part of why Belmont already feels like home. Thank you, Elaine, for making us feel so welcome!”

“Visited today to watch the 1:30 showing of the Fantastic Four The Showing was in Screen 6 and I found the screen itself to be very comfortable. The reclining chairs were very good as well as the screen picture and sound quality. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. I would definitely considering the extra drive to visit this cinema again.”

“Great place, great atmosphere. Always call in now when on a night out in Ashton, and it never disappoints! Great tunes, karaoke (some good and bad!), everyone's always friendly and always have a laugh when in there, cheap beers and shots what else do you need? Would highly recommend.”

“Excellent food, no, stunning food, called in for a Sunday Lunch, wow, thier Roast Beef, with all of the trimmings. Supported with some great quality cask beers. Fantastic atmosphere, really beautiful bar, welcoming, and excellent staff.”

“I've wanted to come here for so long and finally came tonight to celebrate our 4th anniversary. The service we received was exceptional. The food was divine - great cocktails, unlimited sides and amazing bbq meats. I was worried I would be stalking all the servers for more meat but thankfully they kept coming over. What impressed me the most was that they gave us complimentary champagne and all the servers congratulated us on our anniversary, even the manager. Amazing experience and can't wait to come back. Big thanks to all the staff and our server Nila”

“Been here twice and can't fault the place. The lunch special cheese and onion pie was really tasty. Also had a breakfast Omelette here and would recommend. The staff were friendly and the food prices reasonable. Place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. When ordering I was warned it might be a 20 minute wait however food arrived within 10 minutes. The food was hot, loved the homemade chips and fresh salad. They had a lovely children's corner with colouring books and ramped access at the front door. Only gave 4 stars for the food because they only use 2 eggs for the Omelette which compared to elsewhere is a little stingy. Will return again”

“Great experience overall! Very friendly service and great ambience. The food is also good. I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants, but I have to admit that Gusto exceeded my expectations; food was actually quite decent. We went for lunch on a Saturday, 3 people. We sat on the outdoor area, which is very cute and spacious - ideal for those with baby prams like us!. We tried pasta carbonara, roasted vegetables salad, and the burger. We also had some starters. Everything was tasty and very well presented.”

“Fantastic starter and main friendly staff would recommend not had a bad meal”

“This place is under relatively new ownership amd they have taken this chippy up levels. Fish was amazing, lovely crisp batter on the cod and really good peas and chips. Huge portion size too. Now my go to chippy. If youve not tried it recently get yourself there.”

“Family meal for a group of 8. Staff were very welcoming and the place looks great. I was initially a bit concerned as not many people were present….but this soon changed Staff were great, welcoming and very attentive….informed food was halal Food was served pretty quickly…..garlic butter prawns are a must for starters….the butter was amazing….lamb shank was great and the mixed grill was good too…..great classy venue …you won’t be disappointed”
