Gourmet eats in Manchester

“A truly wonderful place for an authentic Italian meal and fabulous atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. Although there are a few Domus Italia or Casa Italia restaurants in Manchester the Didsbury one does not feel like it part of a chain of faceless restaurants. It has a family run vibe and individual atmosphere. It's not a big place but that makes it so much nicer.”

“I popped down to Moda for breakfast on Wednesday morning (their opening day) I had the steak and eggs with the healthy breakfast bowl and it was stunning both dishes were full of flavour and well cooked. Inside the decor is beautiful and calming with a great vibe. The staff are friendly, attentive and nothing is too much trouble. I looked over the drinks menu and so much choice for everyone's taste. I can’t wait to go again.”

“Had the triple chocolate fudge cookie dough, was really nice. Great customer service, polite and friendly. Inside is very modern and clean, the flower wall and neon sign is a great design touch. Would highly recommend to others, and will definitely come back to try the savoury food as well as the desserts.”

“Decided to have a quiet midweek meal top celebrate my birthday and my daughter passing her driving test. Paul couldn't have delivered better service. he greeted us warmly on arrival and congratulated us both, which took me by surprise. He even had a birthday card and a congratulations card ready on our table. the service from Paul was attentive and friendly whilst the food was great too. we also took advantage of the tesco vouchers offer for a total bargain. thank you!”

“I ordered from Burger Stop on Uber Eats and it was honestly the best burger I’ve had in a long time. The food arrived hot, fresh and really well packed. The burger had great flavour, the toppings were spot on and the chips were still crisp when they arrived. Delivery was on time and the order was exactly right. I’ll definitely be ordering again when I’m next in Manchester. Well done burger stop”

“Food was absolutely amazing. We give up on curry’s after having so many bad ones. My daughter goes to the nursery next door and we have said we need to try sheikhs. So glad we did. Fantastic staff and the best curry/food we have had out for a long time. Definitely our new Thursday treat”

“First class! I booked here for my 50th birthday and had a great time. The manager had kindly decorated the tables so that it felt like a party. Even though our tables had to be socially distant they still made or feel special. The food was good excellent. They had made platters of mixed starters for each table that were huge portions and delicious. Everyone was really happy with their main courses. The calzone is enormous! The octopus pasta superb! I can’t thank them enough for the service, welcome and food. I think I’ll be a regular in future!”

“The atmosphere was so lovely, warm, and welcoming, with a great buzz throughout the evening. Our waitress, Lily, truly made the experience — she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so well taken care of. Overall, such a great visit and we’ll definitely be back!”

“Ashel was really helpful and kind, food came really fast and it was fresh & nice.”

“Great place, interior is great. Music and cocktails lovely. Loads of menu choice, highly recommend coming here!!!”

“We arrived at Bean & Bun just as they were closing, but the staff were very welcoming and accommodating; we didn’t feel rushed. We had a nice meal that was made fresh, and to our tastes. Food and drinks were good value for money. The friendly staff made us feel relaxed and made our visit very enjoyable, thank you.”

“Monday evenings are very busy, motorbike meet night. Despite the large queue, managed to get served fairly quickly and food brought to table too.”

“Gijan never disappoints. Best chicken burger in Salford.”

“Had a fantastic lunch here just now. Booked online and had to delay an hour which they were fine about. Had fantastic service and the food was great. I had the rump steak and garlic butter sauce. The steak was cooked perfectly medium just how I asked and that sauce was delicious. Thanks very much!”

“Their Rice and Beans with the Steak and Chips was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to others.”

“Top little bar ..always have a quick pint before n after the match ...great staff”

“The food was the expected, standard affair. And as good as it was, it wasn't the standout part of our experience. The Service was beyond exemplary. We were served with a high level of friendliness and they were also kind enough to suggest things to elevate our food experience further. One example is asking about the type of bread we'd like in the Full English and another is if we'd like any additional flavouring in our Iced Lattes. This may seem obvious on the surface, but it's something that's regularly missing from the service at other breakfast establishments. It was a little pricey compared to other places, but that can be forgiven due to the friendly atmosphere, good food and exceptional service.”

“Flavour Shawarma was recommended to me by a friend and it has quickly become my favorite spot in town. The flavors are exceptional, and the meat is perfectly seasoned and juicy. Their staff is friendly, and their service is prompt. The ambiance adds to the overall experience, making it a five-star dining destination for Shawarma enthusiasts like me! A Must Try!”

“The best pizza in the area. Always delivers on time, pepperoni pizza is soooo good! 100% would recommend!”

“What a fantastic store! Took my Nanna shopping today and she can't walk much anymore. We didn't have her wheelchair, the staff provided one for her and couldn't be more accommodating for her! She was so happy and relieved that she could actually shop without the hassle and feeling in the way. They even brought our shopping to the car! Credit to the staff. Thanks again. Jane”

“I went in for some donuts on Fat Thursday. They were amazing. Staff don't seem to wear masks though all the customers did.”

“We ordered 41 pizzas / 2 garlic breads and a fries for our schools end of term celebration on our local park. The staff were amazing, delivered exactly where promised , on time and in full. The children had the BEST time. Can’t wait for next year! Thank you!”

“Great local place to eat from, everyone who works there are very nice and welcoming and the food (depending on what you order) is amazing. Would recommend to order in the place instead of online as they always have issues when you order online.”

“This is the first time I have ordered from here and the food was incredible! delivered early, the portion sizes are great. the meat is perfectly cooked, the wraps look homemade and are beautifully thin and light, the salad was very fresh and the cacik is absolutely wonderful.”

“Brilliant renovation from the former Damson restaurant. The corn-fed chicken with the addition of chicken gravy - very tastey! The baked ham, white sauce pizza was perfect, all washed down with a selection of craft beer. Received amazing service from Sienna! Will be back!”

“I LOVE pronto pizza! I used to get it when I lived close by for Uni. Now I live out in Stalybridge, but I still drive in sometimes just to get a pronto! I always get the 18 inch make your own pizza and it's amazing value for what you get and so tasty! The right amount of toppings, and thickness of pizza! And the dipping sauce is next level! Top notch place! Thank you Pronto!”

“We held a family party for around 50 people at Mellor &Townscliffe. The venue was lovely - big room which we were allowed to decorate. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The buffet was delicious and plenty of it. Private outdoor space for the kids to run around in. It was a perfect day and couldn't have gone better. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you Peruga!”

“We used this venue as a campervan stopover. Which was mostly OK. When we arrived to pitch up the parking area was pretty well at capacity due to a Bowls match, tis cleared after about 2 hours or so and we were able to pitch up. As this was free we decided to meet with my sister and partner and my son. The 5 of us had a pleasant meal in the pub which we enjoyed. I would suggest that the proprietors consider putting an outside drinking water tap and marked bins for waste recycling. I have no doubt that we shall be visiting again.”

“Delicious food with wonderful flavours. They had the meal ready for the time I requested, and it was lovely and hot. I have dietary requirements and when I rang the staff were very helpful. There was plenty of choice.”

“This is a brilliant Chinese chippy and my family also love it. The staff are very friendly and the new addition of a younger staff member is great. It shows that the business really cares about the next generation by giving them valuable work experience. 10/10”
