The 30 Best Indulgent dinner destinations in Manchester

“From the starters to the main dish, everything was absolutely perfect! The rib eye was cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Every bite was delicious, and the sides complemented the meal beautifully. The service was excellent too , Ihtsham, who served us, was an amazing host, friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Mr. Zeeshan provided exceptional service, ensuring a positive experience. The cuisine was outstanding, offering a diverse selection of choices at reasonable price points.”

“Served by Harry, excellent attention, would definitely recommend every time. Previous night served by Aaron, once again amazing service. Sam was on both nights of our stay and she went above and beyond”

“Lovely setting. Great service. Their champagne never disappoints and the olives were so tasty. Great place to break up a shopping trip....have been visiting for years and always enjoy.”

“Very good pizzas and service as always. I'm a regular to this Domino's and can't fault them. Friendly staff and good service.”

“This place brings back such nostalgia and memories from when I was studying in Liverpool. Of course, I was ecstatic when I heard they opened a branch in Manchester. Nothings changed fortunately, I still get my large mix and match combo with katsu curry and sweet chilli chicken (best combo) and the portions are always super generous so it’s always comfort food to me. I do wish they did onigiri at this branch though! 10/10!”

“The food in here is incredible all home made. I've tried most items on the menu and all of it is top notch. Highly recommend the homemade soup. The staff are great here too. Thanks Genko”

“We have had takeaway and always enjoyed the meals, and they always arrive hot. We decided to go for lunch on a Saturday, we ordered the thali and sorry the other meal I forget the name of, it was all outstanding, very tasty....the service as always, was very friendly and welcoming...”

“Would highly recommend for its sublime food and friendly staff. Service certainly isn’t ‘fast food’ (possibly still learning the ropes..!) but very pleasant atmosphere to enjoy time between courses. We (table of 4) sat at 7pm Saturday night, and had the bill at 8:45pm and enjoyed 2 delicious courses each. BYOB executed well, with glasses and corkscrew provided on arrival. Food very reasonably priced for what you get. Thanks guys, awesome meal!”

“Great food, nice vibe and good service.”

“Great consistent quality food. If I'm passing by I'll stop and grab a smash burger. Easy to order online and the service is always fantastic and the food is fresh and piping hot. Great work guys.it is takeout only and most sit and eat in their car outside the place.”

“I asked Ali if he could cater for a family gathering I was having at home. I could not have been happier with the wonderful food that was made for us. Every single item was delicious. The lamb shoulder was super tender, the chicken was delicious as was the gravy made from scratch! Loved the sides. Tiramisu and rice pudding were the perfect two desserts to keep everyone happy! Thank you Ali and the team - I wouldn’t think twice about going for this again.”

“Couldn't star the food as we didn't have any HOWEVER.... the lady who owns The Gallery is an incredible artist and it shows in the decor. Before I go any further, this is also a great bar with lovely cocktails. Stunning is an understatement, there is something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. Inside and outside, just beautiful, a gorgeous place to visit. I just wish she opened every day and night, but alas, only Thursday to Saturday. Friday being the only late one till 10pm. Go and visit, you won't be disappointed.”

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

“The food was very delicious, and affordable, drinks were affordable and glad there were choices to choose. The DJ was great, a nice friendly place to celebrate with friends or partner.”

“Love this place. Proper full English breakfasts, afternoon teas. When you’re finished, take home fabulous cakes, buns and pastries. We’ve been many times. Great place. Went for ABBA night last night, had a great time. Loved it.”

“Quality pizza, calzone & garlic bread. Hot, fresh, authentic and tasty! Delivery was quick and driver friendly.”

The food was delicious, portions were very generous and a huge range of choice, definitely something there for everyone! Will happily go back there again and again! We had onion bajis chicken trio pilau rice basmati rice poppadoms butter chicken Peshwari naan”

“A bit quiet hence the 4 stars for atmosphere. Otherwise absolutely excellent food, cooked to perfection and service. Very attentive staff. Warm and comfortable. Not pressured at all. 5 stars is warranted.”

“Tonight they gave us an absolutely perfect dining experience for our birthday celebrations. The food was delicious and services was spot on, friendly but not intrusive. I would highly recommend for any occasion to anyone who likes excellent quality Italian food.”

“A fantastic restaurant with amazing and attentive staff, our first visit and we all had the taster menu with the wine flight which was all outstanding.”

“Wonderful place for breakfast especially if staying at the Crown Plaza, as we have several times. Not only is the food great, the ambience and decor is charming with its plants and each table having an old fashioned glass milk bottle with cute stainless steel cups for drinking water! It’s a popular place so today we arrived as they opened in order to get a seat. It soon filled up. This place does a lot of takeaway breakfasts also. We were served by the lovely and friendly Josh and ordered the amazing French toast along with the Turkish eggs with chorizo. Coffees were great as well. Service is polite and efficient and we’ll be back tomorrow!”

“The cafe is the best doggy cafe for miles x the cafe lady who runs it is lovely and is a credit to the council she goes out of her way to make people feel welcome x”

“Nice place. Good food fast service and good size portions”

“Food is always fresh and tastes great. Theo is a great chap too and always has a chat with you when time allows. I’ve been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else.”

“We got the £22 per person deal and added some sushi and black Sesame seed ice cream. Absolutely loved every part of the meal.”

“Visited this place a few weeks ago with friends and had to come back quickly with my father (who went to university in Sri Lanka) because the food was so good! Service was warm and friendly and everything we ate was authentic, delicious and great value for money. Will come back again very soon, thank you!”

“Amazing food and an excellent ambiance! The customer service was outstanding — special thanks to Nikki, who perfectly understood my taste and recommended dishes that turned out to be spot on. The bartender was also at the top of his game. This place is an absolute must-visit!”

“From the excellent reviews, I was expecting a lot. I wasn't disappointed. The menu contains the traditional tapas options, with the odd twist. Everything we ordered was delicious. We ordered 6 tapas between the two of us. This ended up being quite a bit of food. We still managed it though. Some dishes are on the pricey side, but the quality made them worth it. The mushrooms in cream, the pork belly and the albondigas (with cheese) were the highlights. But, as mentioned, everything was delicious.”

“A small restaurant, with an outside area at the front. We had a main course only, the menu while not large was interesting and the tasty food came hot to the table. We had the house wine which was good an enjoyable evening. Would return there again.”
