Gourmet eats in Manchester

“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.”

“Been wanting to check out since moving to the area and loved the cozy atmosphere. I was SO happy they had vegan milkshakes as I've not been able to find anywhere that makes them! That and my avocado bagel was delicious. Love the different food options for a little brunch. Service was super friendly too. Will definitely be back to try their tea and coffee.”

“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”

“Cute little cafe, lovely food and amazing ice cream! Very friendly staff and plenty of options for every occasion? Will definitely be back to Just-Ice!”

“I’ve been visiting this coffee shop regularly for a while now, and I honestly can’t praise the team enough. You can immediately tell they take pride in their work and genuinely care about both the quality of the coffee and the experience of everyone who walks in. Oli in particular has this effortless way of making the space feel welcoming, friendly, and his attentiveness is very wholesome. He remembers people’s preferences, checks in with guests thoughtfully, and the whole atmosphere runs smoothly under his watch. The drinks are consistently excellent, the service is efficient but personal, and there’s a calm, professional energy even during an influx. If you’re looking for a spot where you’re treated like a valued regular rather than just another customer, this is 100% it. Highly recommended!”

“Lovely little café with a proper cosy feel. Great coffee, simple honest food, and genuinely friendly service.”

“Really tasty breakfast, cooked well and prepared very quickly. It’s a small cafe, so space is a bit limited. But then in a way that’s nice, nothing worse than a huge noisy place. Big car park at the back too, which is handy. Great cafe!”

“Marble Brewery are one of the best brewers around in my view. Their new tap has hit the ground running. On my visit, there was Pint on cask, in addition to 9 varied keg offerings and a full fridge. Great use of the space given its purpose and a place I'll return to.”

“I came in with my granddaughter last week, and I must say, the food was exceptional! Upon walking into the establishment, it felt as if we were transported to New York. As a proud American, I must say I felt right at home! My granddaughter, on the other hand—who is very hard to impress—took her time, but by the time the food arrived, her demeanor had changed. We ordered the Benny's Burger, the schnitzel wrap, and the sweet potato chips. I have to mention that my granddaughter did not make the life of the young lady at the till easy. With the number of notes my granddaughter gave for her schnitzel wrap, I was sure she would be laughed at by our server. Instead, we were met with kind responses, smiles, and absolutely no issues. The food came out very quickly, and all three items we ordered were presented exquisitely! Every note was followed perfectly. The service was probably the best I have experienced in this otherwise abysmal country. I come to England at least twice a year from New York to visit my children and grandkids. I try to give each one time alone with me so I can give each the attention they deserve. My son had mentioned that there was a splendid restaurant I had to try; he has ordered Uber delivery from you a few times. I truly recommend the dine-in experience! I will definitely be returning the next time I come to visit the kids. (I do apologize, as I had intended to share the photographs that were taken. But sadly, only my granddaughter took photos—she has the better phone and therefore the better camera—and she seems to be taking her time sending them to me.)”

“Absolutely amazing food at very reasonable prices. Went with my wife and daughter and we all enjoyed our food. Great selection of wine. Excellent service. Have recommended to all my friends and family.”

“We loved Pots & Pans pizzas when they first opened in lockdown and was sorry to see it close, so when we saw that it had reopened we couldn’t wait to try it but was a bit worried that it might not be the same as we remembered. Well we needn’t have worried as it was every bit as good as we remembered. We will most definitely be back.”

“The food was really nice, everything tasted really good quality! Definitely a great hidden gem Only feedback would be to offer a thin base pizza and a few other pizza options but otherwise 10/10”

“I just had a brilliant meal! The food was fantastic, especially the Cal-Italia – all the flavours and the portion size were on point. The staff were super friendly and attentive, checking in on us and making sure we were enjoying everything. My only tiny gripe was that it got a bit loud as the night went on, but that didn't spoil the experience. Overall, I left feeling really happy and would definitely recommend it!”

“We ordered from Homeboys and were blown away. The fries were golden and crispy, the garlic bread was perfectly buttery with just the right amount of bite — but the star of the show was the Fresh Boy Pizza. That pesto? Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavour. Every bite was a winner. You can tell real care goes into their food. Can’t wait to order again”

“We ordered take away and it was amazing. Best Turkish Food around Manchester. I'm from Turkey and i was looking for a good Turkish restaurant for 2 years and finally someone knows what they are doing.”

“Fabulous Indian restaurant. Speedy and friendly service, good value for money and absolutely delicious food! Wide range of food options for gluten-free as well as veggie. Our favourite Indian restaurant!”

“Excellent fish and chips. Fresh fish and cooked well. Not greasy at all. Will be back!”

“Absolute hidden gem. Found this place by accident and will most definitely be returning. I was in a rush and hungry. Service was on point and I would say, they went above and beyond to help me choose from the menu and then, prepare the food within the time I had available. I ordered a halloumi wrap, and it was delish. Highly recommend.”

“Great experience from start to end. I tried the double smash burger with loaded Chicken fries. Now I’m not a loaded fries fan but this is different; full of natural flavours and not drenched in sauce like many other places, it’s a must try. As for their smash burger, it was very juicy and the bun held up well. Food experience complimented with great customer service! Keep up the awesome job lads!”

“We went on Saturday night to try the dinner menu and ordered a set of small plates. They were all excellent. I don’t even know which one was my favourite! But the tuna tartar, pea risotto, tempura, and the lemon sole were absolutely amazing. Do not miss the orange flavoured white wine from Mendoza Argentina. It significantly enhanced our experiences, highly recommended! The service was attentive, knowledgeable abs kind. The atmosphere also provided a relax and mellow environment. The music played was also the right volume (hate it when some places are so loud you just want to leave!) We will definitely be back very soon.”

“We have been here twice now for our work Christmas meal as well as various times throughout the year and we have always found the venue to be very friendly and welcoming. The menu is ideal for me. Thank you so much for making our Christmas meal a lovely event.”

“Delicious food. Lovely service and great value for money. 2 young girls who served where very friendly and hospitable”

“1st time visiting last night (saturday). Fantastic atmosphere, very friendly staff and excellent food. Definitely be visiting again.”

“Really super secret restaurant , please search it out you won’t be disappointed. Delicious food wine and great service what more could you want.”

“Love it here, food is great, comes quick, always busy but always has a spot got you to sit at. It’s the nicest food ever! 10/10”

“Excellent food would definitely come back!”

“Upon entering the atmosphere was great, very polite and friendly, the small appetiser that me and friend shared was really good, the food was really delicious, flavourful, wasn’t cold or undercooked, the dessert was super light but had really good flavour across all layers of the lemon cheesecake. I would recommend this place to any couples who’s looking for a little romantic Italian date or for a family”

“What a lovely little restaurant. We ordered garlic bread with cheese - amazing. Then cannelloni and risotto for main. Both came piping hot and very tasty. Sticky toffee pudding and profiteroles for pudding. The profitaroles were the best I've ever tasted. Service was speedy and reasonably priced. Under £60 for 2 with drinks. Definitely worth a visit. They also offered gluten free pasta and pizza.”

“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”

“This is a lovely little cafe on Pepper Road Industrial Estate and you can takeaway. I had a mango and berry smoothie and a sweet chilli and cheese panini. Both were absolutely delicious! Will definitely be coming back! The staff are also very friendly and welcoming.”
