Casual dining spots in Manchester

“I always make an effort to visit here, it’s my favourite pub and well worth the 45 minute train journey! Nice staff and they always have decent beers on tap which are always changing and have a lot of bottles to choose from as well. There are board games and snacks too for those who fancy that.”

“Had takeaway for 1st time from here. I've tried lots of thai places locally and been dissapointed many times but not this time. The food was authentic, tasty and fresh. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit. Delivery was great and ontime. Will definately order again. Very satisfied customer”

“My go-to Greek comfort food, hands down. I come here quite often, every other week or so, and i always went for the gyro, (pronounced yee-ros for some who are wondering how to say it), almost regularly. However i now tend to order the gigante plaki, (Greek style butterbeans) The flavours are always spot on, with it being both hearty and delicious. Haven’t had one bad experience yet, so far from ordering it. The lady who’s served me almost every time is a pleasure to be around. Her hospitality is impeccable. Fantastic value, too! £6.00 for a gyro, £6.00! You can’t argue with that, can you? Definitely worth coming here to try some proper Greek food, served by a true Greek family who know what they’re doing. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“Perfect cafe and open on a Sunday morning. Winner all round”

“It was a lovely bar and the food and coffee was great highly recommend it kind regards tony”

“FABULOUS! We were warmly greeted and served by the most sweet, chatty and efficient little lady - so good to see families involving their children and instilling values at this young age. The food was delicious, the portions healthy & delivered promptly - will definitely be going back!”

“Great little cafe, we stopped off when cycling to Liverpool from Sheffield for some refuel, great food, drinks and service, especially the young lady serving was the happiest girl we saw all weekend.”

“The breakfasts are absolutely spot on. Very clean well ran place with friendly staff. Would deffo recommend”

“One of the best cafe experiences I have had in Manchester. Friendly staff, wonderful tasty food and is very popular with a lot of locals in Middleton. Everyone I work with recommends this cafe for the welcoming service and homely feel. & I can tell why. You truly feel wanted and welcome when you come in and to top of off the food is just as good as the staff.”

“Very great cafe. The barista Vicky was so kind! Loved the experience.”

“Friendly and welcoming place with good quality food and drinks for a good price. Would definitely recommend.”

“Such a great place to eat, meet & get together. The food & service was outstanding. We had an excellent lunch today. Family of 5 including 3 children & everyone ate well for a very reasonable cost. The food was both well made & well presented. Thank you.”

“Great, cozy cafe for a winter morning coffee & pie. The Chai latte was nice & sweet and the keylime pie was amazing. Easily the best keylime pie I've ever had! Happily coming back soon!”

“A lovely cafe with welcoming staff members. They are in the perfect spot for a bite to eat at the end of your walk. They accept cards as well as cash and the prices are reasonable. A Kelly's ice cream on a nice cone was £3. There are toilets too. Parking can be difficult on weekends but we've never struggled in the week”

“My friends and I had a coffee and pastry there and their drinks and pastries were super delicious esp the pistachio croissant was so rich and yummy”

“Wow! We came here today after originally planning to only go for a hot drink after our walk. We looked at the menu and then had a little walk around but something was calling us back. We decided to sit outside and grab a menu - the food smelt absolutely unreal so we chose to move inside and order food and drinks. Best chicken club I’ve ever had!! Very friendly service and the place was nice and busy which just proves it’s a very successful food business”

“Had some lunch. Friendly staff food a coffee were great”

“Bought 2 sandwich platters for a family get together they went down very well great selection well presented will definitely order again thanks for brilliant service.”

“Went to Piccadilly Garden with friends then just searched cafe on Google map, found this cafe and walked in We ordered Benedict and French toast, the Benedict is surprisingly nice, its wish sweet potato hash browns mixed with bacon bits and red pepper. I think it’s an interesting combination, I never see anything similar in other brunch spots. I personally don’t eat red peppers, this combination even caught my stomach. And I think the Holland sauce is quite nice, better than other places I’ve tried. Classic french toast is okay, normal I’d say. Also ordered berries mocktails it tastes fresh I like it, £5 is very reasonable Have to shout out to Tyler for the great service, very lovely and considerate. We had a whole excellent brunch experience here, and would always love to come back”

“Delicious coffee & treats and quiet canal-side seating. A social enterprise supporting good causes. Attached to The People's History Museum, which is by donation. Highly recommended.”

“Great Sunday Soul afternoon with DJ Shaggy”

“A good place for a drink, staff were friendly and pleasant.”

“First time here and it didnt disappoint! Great service and great food! Steak was cooked to perfection, corn ribs were yummy and the half rack of ribs were super tasty! Had a chocolate milkshake for dessert too! Overall good value for money! Car park gets a bit hectic at busy times but still seemed to be spaces available.”

“This is our local pub & restaurant and never disappoints. The food is always lovely and Rachel the landlady is such a great host and runs a tight ship, the young new staff are all very friendly and professional, today was no exception with a lovely young man serving us and making sure we were looked after. They are credit to Rachel's hard work. Thank you :)”

“The BEST NAAN so far!!!! After a shopping trip to IKEA thought we would drop by for a quick bite, never been to this place before and what a hidden gem it is. This place has a good atmosphere and the service was exceptional. There was so much on the menu and like all other sharwama places all the same, this place did the best and most delicious NAAN compared to other places the food here was excellent even the staff was friendly. We ordered the mince seekh kebab and chicken sharwarma, wanted the mix with lamb but its so popular it was gone. We was suprised when the staff brought us some lentil soup we was not expecting, that was tasty and a good dip to dip with the kebab and naan. The salad was non to fault it was very good even to the napkins lol the quality from start to finish was excellent The price was not bad either you get alot for the money, If you have not tried this place don’t walk, RUN to this hidden gem you will not be disappointed. Try out the NAAN.”

“This place is in prestwich in Manchester. Very lovely place to eat good English food and a very good price and nice service with a good atmosphere. The person I took there enjoyed her dinner, and we also had a cocktail. They have customers, rest room, and very spotless.”

“SPOT ON! What a beautiful place. Totally unexpected. The food was really well prepared. You feel cared for when you are served like this. No microwave in this place!”

“Visited here for tea with my partner for his birthday, food was absolutely amazing! The restaurant had a really cosy vibe and was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. I would definitely visit again!”

“We like verazzano. We order from many years from them and never disappoints. They are never late with a delivery and the delivery driver is super nice and polite. The food amazing like a always. Thank you.”

“First visit and not the last ! Food was excellent Teriyaki Salmon for me with Yakisoba Noodles for a main course accompanied with a bento box with miso soup. "Father's day" treat. My daughter had Teriyaki beef with a bento box. I sampled the beef and it was amazingly tender. We started with a crispy platter to share & a couple of ichiban beers....no room for desserts ! Value for money £47. Clean and nice atmosphere, friendly staff.”
