Dates in Manchester

“Went here for my sister’s 30th for Sunday lunch with my family. The food was incredible and the gravy was so shiny and delicious and there was loads of it! A true northern restaurant. My grandpa also has dementia and we requested that the food was served quickly. They were very accommodating. Can’t wait to come back and try the small plates.”

“Amazing fish and chips and peas, batter crispy generous portion, great value queues out the door good banter. Best fish and chips in New Mills have been here few times. Can't wait till our next trip to Derbyshire. Keep up the excellent service and food.”

“I have been at Twinnies, such a beautiful place to eat brunch with family or friends. The decor is spot on. The food was fresh and delicious. Customer service is fantastic, I would highly recommend this place.”

“Great food, staff were friendly and attentive. Will go again”

“Highly recommend!! Food, service and atmosphere excellent!!! I called up before to see if we could book and lucky they had an hour free to offer us a table for 2, I also mentioned I am celiac and it was no issue at all. When we arrived it was fairly busy but that didn’t affect the service or friendly atmosphere. The waiter remembered I mentioned celiac/gf. We ordered the summer rolls and chicken wings (none gluten free) and they offered to make the chicken wings gluten free which meant I could try them too! I could have eaten 10! They were so tasty!! I had the traditional pho for my main, the broth was full of flavour and lots of coriander which I love!! My partner ordered drunken chicken noodles which I wanted to try but it wasn’t GF, they said they could make it GF next time, which is great news! It’s more often places offer to make food gluten free so this was a pleasant surprise. They definitely accommodate GF needs. Everything tasted so good!! You wouldn’t think it was gluten free, I would definitely recommend to anyone, celiac or not! I’ll definitely be going back again.”

“I had many of my friends recommending this place, and when we finally tried it for my birthday - it exceeded all expectations! The service was amazing, very helpful and welcoming. The food was unreal, very unique menu with lots of things to try. We tried a fair few dishes as recommended and I’m still thinking about their pastas dishes. I would like to say a huge thank you to the staff for making my birthday so special.”

“Amazing. Every time I’m in Manchester I come here. Food is always flavourful, curries and sauces are to die for and I’ve never been dissatisfied. Bread is the perfect texture and has a fantastic fermented flavour :) Price is just right for what you’re getting and the portions are great! Highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t tried Ethiopian or to anyone who’s looking for it in Manchester. Very very good eat Make sure you have an Ethiopian beer and a cinnamon tea at the end, it is really worth it!”

“We ordered food from there for the first time and it was really good. The meat was fresh, and the salads were just the right portion for one person. Delivery was fast as well. Highly recommended!”

“Great spot for some authentic indian food in Hale Barns. The food was amazing, especially the chicken biryani, chicken korma, and lamb Premium. Top tier customer service.”

“Just had a lovely delicious meal with family at Juniper Hale! Thanks to Nancy for being so friendly and helpful. We hope to come back again soon for the white chocolate and pistachio French toast which sooo yummy!”

“What a nice discovery! We had a lovely day walking at worsley woods that finished in the best way eating an unexpected good pizza, so tasty vey good quality, highly recommend this place, Maya our waitress was very kind and helpful. We will definitely come back!”

“We booked initially for 10 people but then added an extra 9. The restaurant were very accommodating and did everything to ensure we had the best night. We pre-ordered our food so everything was ready together - one of our party even said how great it was doing the pre-order so we could just enjoy our evening. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and were able to put up a banner and take balloons. The staff were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Now onto the food- which was delicious. All dishes were presented well and were very fresh and tasty - which is how I expect Mediterranean food to be. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly and from what the rest of the party said - their dishes were amazing too. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back. Massive thanks to Mina who did a fantastic job of looking after us.”

“Forget the unhealthy McDonald’s and KFC nearby this is where you want to be eating! Super tasty authentic Thai food. Quick, easy and Healthy! Could do with a little smartening up but don’t let that put you off the food is amazing.!”

“A food truck with a 4-seater table along a not too busy street. The food is prepared by two friendly Thai ladies and the taste is authentic. Pad thai is only £6 for lunch. It is hot and delicious at good portion! It is even tastier than many Thai restaurants I have tried before. What a surprise! People are mainly ordering takeaway.”

“Food is exceptional, I can't stop thinking about the my risotto marinara and for dessert, pistachio semifreddo on special is to die for! They have a small parking which was full when we got there on Sat evening, we had to find on-street parking elsewhere. Though we got a table just fine without reservation”

“Fantastic experience like every time. Wine is always excellent, menu changes all the time - but all the dishes we tried this time were great. Tuna carpaccio was our star this evening! Flat bread with beef fat is a must. Great place to enjoy good and creative food and wine and have a good and relaxing evening. All recommendations.”

“I came to French Tacos at 03:00 in the morning after a long day of work and wanted a quick bite to eat before I headed off home to sleep. As I stepped foot into French Tacos, I was greeted by the 2 guys at the counter, as it was my first time I wasn’t sure what option to choose as there was so many delicious options to choose from the menu, so they helped me out and recommended I try a mixed meat wrap. Whilst waiting I was asked how my day was and had a great chat with the guys. The mixed wrap I had been recommended was really nice and delicious, I loved the potion size and the mixed meats inside the wrap it went so well especially with the cheese. It was perfect. Anyone new to this place or exploring it online for places to eat?, I completely recommend you try this place. Thank you lots to the owners.”

“We went for our Golden Girls xmas meal so just a small group of 4 now and it was lovely. We prebooked a Monday Evening 3 weeks in advance. We have usually only gone in the day time and the place is lovely and the staff are always very nice. They do the best coffee and we wanted tp try it at night as we hear its a different experience. So we decided this year although we are a smaller group now we would go there. It was lovely with all the lights and decor. It had a very nice friendly family, feel to it. I would highly recommend. They serve Nice food and the atmosphere is very welcoming and not intimidating which is what you want. We will continue to go there in the days for the fresh and well presented brunch foods and the best coffee locally but on special occasions they are also definitely good for an evening visit.”

“AMAZING!!! I love Michelle and the team, and the church service on Wednesday was AMAZING!!! Definitely coming again!”

“I love coming here for a breather by myself or with my little boy. He absolutely loves it, Lindsay is a gem and her food is delicious. The freshly made milkshakes go down a treat with my boy, the tea is spot on and the hot food is always tasty. There are lots of walks in the area so it's a great place to start or finish at.”

“The best cafe in the area, the food is amazing, great variety, freshly prepared. Very good prices, staff always so friendly. I really should go more often”

“We called in for the first time on Saturday morning and were really impressed by the quality of the food and drinks on offer and the standard of the service. One of the best cups of coffee available!”

“Came here almost everyday during a week stay in Chorlton. Great coffee, pastries and vibes. Staff is friendly and the front patio seating is lovely to people(and dog) watch.”

“Great food cooked fresh while you wait. Very clean and a great atmosphere. I have particular dietary requirements and they adapted a menu choice to suit.”

“Great local pub with good atmosphere. All staff are friendly and helpful.”

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

“First time in here, met Chris the bar tender absolutely lovely guy. Really welcoming, the atmosphere is amazing and feels homely. Top quality conversations and would definitely be attending again! 5 star service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“They normally have a good selection of ales here when I visit, but it was a little weaker than usual. Quality is excellent however.”

“A wonderful pub with fantastic food. Been here a few times and it never disappoints. The owners /staff are attentive and very welcoming. They have a great variety of beers, spirits and authentic Japanese sake and gins etc and also green tea, coffee for the non beer drinkers. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. I’ve taken a few friends and family here and they’re bowled over with the food. My Japanese friend have said it’s the best tempura she has had in the UK. Looking forward to the expansion to the beer garden in the back as well.”

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”
