The 30 Best Classics with a twist in Manchester

“Best breakfast in south Manchester! Very cool cafe spot.”

“The wait is a little long to get served the food (approx 40 minutes) however, this is worth every second. Food is very flavoursome, hearty and big portions for what you pay. Everything is well made, seasoned and fresh. The baller’s combo was £25 at the time of this review and is almost big enough for 2 people.”

“Fantastic tiramisu and the fresh pasta makes all the difference. Foccaccia was abit oily but still tasted amazing as did the calzone. Excellent service and quality produce highly reccomend.”

“I've been coming to Freestylers for 20 years plus and also bring my kids for their haircuts. Great friendly guys Paul and Dave.”

“I have been visiting Barber Stop for the past 8 years, and I can confidently say it has been an exceptional experience from start to finish every time. The shop exudes professionalism, with a welcoming atmosphere and a clean, well-maintained environment. I have had the pleasure of having Shani as my barber, who has consistently demonstrated a high level of expertise and attentiveness. He takes the time to understand my preferences and always provides a precise, tailored haircut that exceeds my expectations. The entire service is efficient yet thorough, and I leave the shop feeling completely satisfied with both the cut and the overall experience. You definitely get your money’s worth and the quality of service and the results are unmatched to those around. Without a doubt, Barber Stop is the best in Manchester, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking top-tier grooming services specifically haircuts.”

“AMAZING. Bob gave me a great haircut, and is very talented with classic scissor cuts. It’s nice to find a barbers that doesn’t do just fades. Would 100% recommend, especially if you have longish hair that needs styling and shaping.”

“We can never ever fault this restaurant. Local to us but worth a drive if you live outside Heaton Moor. So glad they are back open after a holiday closure. Just wished they did orders to be delivered although it's no effort to go to the restaurant and see the lovely staff. The food is fabulous and when family come over from Ireland they ask if we can book a table. Book now you won't be disappointed.”

“This is one of the most best Japanese curry I had ever eaten in my life!!!! The curry was sweet, the chicken was crispy and the rice was prefect!! 10/10 stars no drama”

“Very prompt delivery and good that you can ring and speak to someone in person about advice about an item x”

“Great service and very friendly staff with good food and drinks.”

“Lovely bar with great, varied drink selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff.”

“Clean place, friendly and fast service. They also go round the edges with a cut throat which is great (many places won't).”

“Wow, just home from a great meal for my parents wedding anniversary. My dad is wheelchair dependant and they were so helpful. Food was excellent but stand out was Cian and Joe with exceptional service. They could not have done more!! Definitely deserve a bonus!”

“Had our first visit last night, so impressed, gorgeous food, lovely people, great atmosphere and real value for money. We will definitely be back! Soon!”

“First class from start to finish was struggling to find these shoes in my size everywhere else but luckily found them here would highly recommend Yards Store”

“Had food here with my friends on 3/10/2025. The food is phenomenal & the service is wonderfully friendly, great atmosphere & decor. If you haven't been, you need too.”

“I have been a regular customer at this coffee bar ever since it opened the lady who runs the business is a wonderful welcoming and kind individual. I have visited many cafes around the area but in my personal opinion this has a more homely atmosphere to it. The food is spot on and I have never had a bad meal”

“It was my first time in there today the breakfast was one of the nicest I've ever had, i had the mega breakfast and also the staff were extremely friendly”

“Although I live some three miles away, and have my own local, I always enjoy coming in here for a change! Usually early doors on Mondays. Love it. Thanks all!”

“One of the best pubs in Salford .i am a landlady my self and this pub has everything I would hope for it’s a good old Salford pub with great people and staff. always made to feel welcome and the fantastic beer garden is an hidden gem ….”

“I first came here on the recommendation of Maria and Lydia from Quirky Misfits just up the road, who both get their undercuts done here. The clientele IS mostly male, which doesn't bother me in the slightest. The men all emerge looking very dapper and well-groomed! I love the quality of my fade and the way my hair is cut, allowing for my double crown and cowlicks! Skilled barbers, who take their time to get each customer's hair just right. Excellent attention to detail, with no compromise on style. Highly recommended.”

“I had my hair cut and also a shave for the first time today, I was impressed. I've had hot towel shaves in Turkey, so it's good to know I can have one on my doorstep. I'll be back for another haircut & maybe another shave soon. Thanks!!”

“A really nice place to visit and chill Staff are always friendly”

“Had lovely fish chips and curry. Also tried the gyros platter which is a taste sensation. Would definitely recommend this place. Staff are nice and polite and the shop is very clean 5*”

“​If you haven't been in a while, it's time to head back. It's truly a must-visit spot for any fan of authentic American BBQ in the Greater Manchester area. Big improvement in food quality. We will return. The music is brilliant too.”

“Amazing restaurant and would definitely go back again!! Quality of food was great, everything cooked to perfection and portion sizes were really good too. Service was really good, especially for a busy Saturday evening. Ambience was lovely, we sat in the glass roomed area, needed to put the heaters on but was warm enough. Thanks to the amazing team, it was a great experience”

“A charming little restaurant with beautiful, wholesome, Polish food. The service was excellent too, the team were super friendly and very keen to chat! The food arrived promptly and everything was clearly freshly made and tasted delicious. We had starters and mains washed down with honey beer (yum!) and finished off with homemade Polish cakes. The portions were generous too. I would definitely go back, we had a great experience.”

“Delicious meal had at this busy, bustling eatery. A varied and interesting menu. Service was attentive and friendly. Portion sizes were not too large.”

“Celebrated my 60th birthday last night. There were 24 of us. Everyone commented on the fabulous food and the service. We had a lovely private area. Well stocked bar. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend. Well done Imran and team. Fabulous.”

“genuinely best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Super delicious rich authentic flavours, really well packaged too so stays hot. Hard recommend the beef birria quesadillas with guac & the churros”
