The 30 Best Outdoor dining in Manchester

“Fantastic! Izzy designed us the perfect kitchen and utility room and both her, Olivia and Josh have been amazing throughout the whole process of ordering through to installation. The quality of the kitchen is absolutely amazing and we love how it looks. Thank you all so much.”

“Really happy with the service from start to finish. The survey and drawings were clear and the build was done really quickly. Communication was great at every stage of the process and I'm thrilled with the quality and finish of the shelves and cabinet. I would absolutely recommend Cheshire Bespoke Joinery and use again. Thanks Sadiya and Marcus for doing an amazing job!”

“Lovely owners, lovely building, lovely location. A short walk to fabulous gardens and stately home. We didn't eat but the breakfast looked marvellous. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. Tom and Tie C.”

“Lovely Saturday morning breakfast - all four guests chose different options and really enjoy them. Very friendly staff. Already planning the next visit!”

“I’ve bought several items from Fox and the Bear, from crystals to cauldrons, and every order has been perfect. Everything is fairly priced, beautifully packaged, and you can really tell the ladies know their stuff. Highly recommended!”

“This place is made from love, the decor and family atmosphere shines through, we were late, no problem starters looked great a nice Causal rest to mains, you can tell this small informal bistro has passion”

“We tried A Star pizza this evening and it was great. You can tell they only use great quality ingredients, definitely the best pizza and the only place well be going from now on. Good price as well. The guys are so lovely too and made a fuss of my little boy. There's also the option to eat in if you want. Thank you!”

“fantastic place, been here twice in the past 2 months. gave my boyfriend free tiramisu”

“The kindest chef, was open late and still prepped fresh and delicious food. The perfect spot for a Japanese craving as the menu is stacked. Can’t recommend enough.”

“Great Brunch place! Had a brioche with avocado, scrambled egg and spicy mayo. Was very delicious and portions were big! Service was also very friendly.”

“Small hidden gem, cosy atmosphere. Staff attentive and quick service. We both had burgers, The Smoker & The Texan Show Stopper.....wow. The flavours of both were great, the portion sizes were spot on. Will be back, would reccomend to others.”

“We love Pho-Thong! Delicious, authentic food, great service, and fantastic value for money. Good options for vegetarians and vegans, too. Great little neighbourhood restaurant”

“Lovely food, great atmosphere and it's doggy friendly which is perfect, the only thing we dint see was a car park, but we just parked up at Tesco and walked up like not even 5 minutes, so wasn't a big issue, definitely going their again when we come back to visit :)”

“Cycling past and spotted this little cafe. A really nice welcome and cappuccinos, hot chocolate and filter coffee was ordered. The young girl did a great job making the drinks and presentation was second to none. A very nice place will visit again.”

“Wow! We ordered from the special Valentine's Day set menu and it did not disappoint! Such tasty dishes! Food was ready at the correct pick up time and was piping hot. Excellent portion sizes and high quality produce used (even better knowing it's locally sourced) Can't wait to visit again when lockdown is over and enjoy the quirky dining area on the bus. See you soon Bohemian Bus Cafe!”

“Super Smash makes amazing burgers! We tried the Pachos Smash Up, Juicy Lois, and the Original Crispy Chicken Burger. The Pachos Smash Up was our favourite, crispy chicken and juicy beef in one burger! Everything here is fresh because they grind their own meat and mix it themselves. You can really taste the difference. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Takeaway often arrives early. Extremely nice food, a tad pricey but you get what you paid for.”

“Wanted to try the food from the cafe since it opened. The food always looked amazing & some great reviews. I went for veggie Thai green curry & Jasmin rice. The food arrived on time. Smelt lovely & Piping hot. The food tasted delicious, the fresh veg not soggy. The whole dish was full of flavour not overpowering. Highly recommend. Delivered with a smile. Give this place a go if you enjoy Thai food.”

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

“Great food really nice place staff are great would recommend”

“My partner booked Ela for a surprise date night! It was ‘nice’ .. I asked for olives while ordering my drink and was told no? Thought this was odd! But Nevermind! Order was olives, Saganaki (just tasted like very burned cheese) a trio of dips with hummus, a cheese pastry thing (can’t remember the name) mixed grill, Kleftiko - Wasn’t the best? Watery and flavourless (I had had it elsewhere and thought the same so maybe it just isn’t for me?) not sure I would recommend or go back! But I do know other people who really like it!”

“Fantastic restaurant serving freshly cooked Palestinian food of a high standard and with lovely warm service that is attentive and efficient. We’ve eaten at many Middle Eastern restaurants and this is one the best we’ve been to. The Knafeh is excellent and ends a wonderful meal. We also loved the freshly squeezed orange juice and strawberry, mango and pineapple smoothie! If only they had Palestinian ice cream!”

“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!”

“We had breakfast today at Royal Restaurant they gave us a delightful experience with its great service. The menu features both traditional and contemporary cuisine making it a wonderful choice for ANY occasion. The flavours are well balanced and the presentation is visually appealing. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly ensuring that all guests feel welcomed and great taken care of. We ordered Aloo Tikki Sandwich OMG super hit trust me was delicious and we had omelette and paratha that was delicious too authentic plus crispy not oily at all... I We will definitely be coming back here again and would recommend this place to anybody.”

“Fantastic Moroccan food. Amazing food and atmosphere. Great central location with the train station steps away and parking within walking distance.”

“We had our first meal at this restaurant tonight and it was absolutely fantastic! The service was top-notch, with friendly and efficient staff who were attentive to our needs. A really nice touch was when the chef came out of the kitchen to ask us how our food was. This is something I've only seen on TV before, but it was a really personal and thoughtful gesture that made me feel valued as a customer. The food was also delicious and flavorful. We had pizza, carbonara and risotto and they were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling satisfied but not overstuffed. We also had the tiramisu and chocolate fudge cake both were delicious. The price of the food is a little bit higher than some other restaurants I've been to, but I think it's worth it for the quality of the food and the excellent service. I will definitely be coming back here again soon!”

“The best Spanish restaurant!! Always on top of the quality and the service is amazing! If you want to have a quick trip to Spain without paying a expensive airline this is the place”

“Pizza was really delicious and the atmosphere was really nice and chilled. Will definitely be coming back!! (Would love to see some veggie meat options on there;) ) Would recommend!”
