Dinner ideas in Manchester

“Great atmosphere, a lovely warm welcome and best of all absolutely delicious authentic Indian food, we went on a Sunday and had the set menu it was very good value for money in fact it was that good we’ve booked to go back at Christmastime. We look forward to returning.”

“The food was so good. It is really tasty and tastes fresh. We all loved all our dishes and the portions were generous and well presented. Really lovely people who owned/worked there. I definitely recommend this place.”

“3 of us went for bottomless brunch and I’d 100% recommend for value for money. £37 for 90 minutes. The lovely waitress never let our cocktails become empty and was always taking a drinks order from us. The food was also excellent and served in a timely matter. Will definitely be back!!”

“Working my way through the extensive and varied menu. Pizzeria Bella Italia never disappoints. Even if you can't eat pasta there is something for everyone. My favourite starter is their garlic mushrooms....omg so divine!!! Who'd of thought how delicious the humble mushroom can be when cooked the way Bella does. I can't fault the food, quality, staff, atmosphere and magic of this lovely restaurant in Bury. It is popular with all age groups and families as well as couples. I had mussels in garlic and white wine. The veg is al dente and beautiful. I always look forward to dining here as the food and staff make you feel at home and always welcoming.”

“It had been a long time since I last ate here. I am so happy to report the food, service and atmosphere is just as lovely as I remembered. A lovely way to end a visit to the cinema.”

“One of if not the nicest Chinese chippy in Stockport. The lady who always serves is polite and helpful. The portion sizes are very good and the food is lovely. The only thing I did not like and this my personal choice was the curry sauce. This would not stop me returning as everything else is really nice.”

“Did a takeaway of chowmin dishes, specially liked the singapore vermicelli, portions were quite generous.”

“Very friendly staff and great food . The service is good as is the atmosphere in this Bakery cum Café. I wholeheartedly recommend this place.”

“Went for the first time since the change of ownership for my birthday with family. We were all impressed with the refurbishment and the menu. The food choices we all made were excellent, quality food and attentive service. Highly recommend”

“Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning and would absolutely recommend. Both the waitress and chef were really friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. I ordered the Omelette with chips which was ready within 10 minutes of ordering. The food was served hot and tasted great. Portion sizes were quite big and prices are reasonable. The atmosphere inside the place was really nice too. There's indoor and outdoor seating available plus a customer toilet. My only critique would be that the canned and bottled drinks are not refrigerated and I think they should change this. Would be nice if they made a kids menu too”

“Wonderful food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. Came here 14th December for the Christmas markets and parade. Would recommend to come here for a bite to eat or if the other pubs are full. We'll worth the money”

“Foods lovely here just had a full breakfast and the sausages are great. Very few cafes serve quality food these days but this place is spot on.”

“The best pub we have been in for a long while. We received a really warm welcome. The landlord was extremely friendly, and a great laugh. We had good fun reminiscing with him as he knew Where we had lived previously. The food was excellent and we will definitely return . Thank so much for a lovely afternoon. Caroline & Wayne”

“My first visit to Majestic Wine at Sale and could not have been more impressed. The staff were so knowledgeable and helpful even taking out our purchases to the car. Can highly recommend”

“Found this place on Google maps as we had an appointment nearby. What a gem! Had tasty fresh sandwices with lovely chips. What lucky retirees to have this on site.”

“Great place! Proper bar vibes. Great staff. The food, we tried a few things. Ribs are a 10. The pie was 10 the burrito bomb was a let down. Over cooked short rib and undercooked dough. However was so stuffed from the pie and ribs. Would I go back. Yes 100%.”

“Food was so tasty! Got 50% with first table and couldn’t not recommend more. Happy hour £6 margs were perfect for the hot weather.The truffle tots are so moreish, be it absolutely smothered in Parmesan, and their slices divine. Will come again.”

“A lovely evening out with family, celebrating an 85th birthday. Can't fault food or service. Has been refurbed since my last visit. Would recommend to others, make sure you book a table. They offer take out as well”

“This is our Fifth time in here. Never failed. We had the Brunch menu, my Lily had crêpe and she said it is tastes like pancakes which she likes very much. And my Ami had a nice chicken burger. Already planning the next visit. Keep up the good work guys. Fantastic food and portions are really good.And we had dessert on the house.”

“The Garden Café in Hale is an absolute gem! The coffee is top-notch, and the selection of cakes is simply delicious. Every bite was fresh and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a treat. The service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It’s clear that the staff take pride in what they do, and it really adds to the experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick coffee or a leisurely afternoon treat, this place is well worth a visit. Highly recommended!”

“This is a special place which should not be underestimated. Curry is warming and hearty. Gyoza is rich, tangy and crispy. Sushi is fresh and light. Yum”

“Wow what a lovely place! We came here as a group of 18, the staff were very friendly and very accommodating. They gave us the choice of ordering from the a-la-carte menu or using the party menu - we decided to use the party menu as you got poppadoms, starter, main and side for £16 per person, which made things so much easier when it came to the bill. Everyone in our party commented and how good the food was. Excellent quality and very nice flavours. We liked the fact that the kitchen is on show and you can see the chefs preparing your meal. A great evening had by all, we will definitely be back!”

“Enjoyed lovely tapas here last night in the relaxing cosy restaurant above the pub. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Belen is so friendly and attentive. I recommend this restaurant you won't be disappointed.”

“Nipped in for a meal being intrigued by the name of a pub as The White Lion with the picture of a zebra on the pub sign. The pub is under refurbishment. The service was perfect. We had 3 roasts and we were struggling to eat all of the food. One small criticism - the food was not hot enough. I made a special request about my drink and it was not a problem for the barman to accommodate it.”

“The food was simply excellent and the service too, way above many places I visited. As an Italian, I highly recommend this restaurant as they put a genuine effort offering delicious food at fair prices.”

“I visited the Crown this evening for the Santa photo shoot and for dinner afterwards. The food was gorgeous and the management and staff went above and beyond. My daughter loved (The Real) Santa and we can’t wait to receive our photos. Thank you for a lovely evening. Will be returning very soon.”

“Lovely visit to this welcoming restaurant. The food was very tasty and the dessert just as great!”

“Our ”Tuesday club” went to birdandbeemcr today for the first time. They were 5 of us (usually 7) and we all opted for the bacon bun. Now this was not just any bacon bun - it was filled with crispy streaky bacon, with a cheesy, sumptuous little omelette on top - some of us had it on brioche & some on local sourdough. With pot of freshly brewed tea to go with it, it was delicious. One of us had a latte which was very professionally done too. They’ve only been open for a week but we’ll definitely to back to sample more great food. Sorry I didn’t take a pic but I’d finished it before I remembered!”

“Small place, with limited tables so booking is a must The food is amazing! Very very flavourfull. Staff is very friendly.”

“I can’t thank this place enough! My car broke down on the motorway and I ended up just outside the restaurant. My phone was dead, and they kindly let me charge it inside. Parking is a big issue in the area because of a nearby concert, but they found a space for me and let me leave my car there overnight. They even gave me food while I waited — and Mr. Shah refused to take any money for it. I honestly can’t explain how grateful and happy I am. The kindness and generosity they showed me was incredible. Truly amazing people — thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
