Quick bite in Manchester

“Lovely staff, great value. Good healthy options and proper breakfasts if you want to indulge.”

“The staff is lovely and taught me a lot about Manchester. They truly seemed to care about the food quality and were very friendly and conversational. The food is fresh and the afternoon tea is worth every pence (also very affordable compared to other afternoon teas). It's a lot of food too!”

“Now we’re talking. La Collina was a treat - they have a short, simple home-made lunch menu. I had gnocchi with Bolognaise sauce. Perfect portion size. Coffee was delicious and forced myself to have a pistachio cannoli alongside it. Matt the chef is a focused on flavour and dishes with a twist - you can taste it. Nice space to work from too. Back soon. BACK AGAIN: La Collina is a hidden gem. The menu is developing from daytime only into an evening offering too. Matt, the creator and chef is passionate about the menu. New menu dropping in mid August. Go there.”

“Great sandwich Bar best cheese salad sandwich made fresh. Would recommend.”

“We had a wonderful stay at Dakota Hotel Manchester and it truly felt like a pure luxury experience from start to finish. The decor throughout the hotel is absolutely stunning, elegant, modern, and beautifully finished, giving the whole place a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The staff were exceptional, warm, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, always happy to help and making us feel valued as guests. Our room was amazing, spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated with high quality finishes that made it feel both stylish and incredibly comfortable. The food and drinks were outstanding. Everything we tried was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and attention to detail. The bar area in particular was a lovely place to relax, with an impressive selection of cocktails and a refined ambience. The hotel’s location is another huge plus. It is only about a six minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station, which made getting in and out of the city completely effortless. Overall, Dakota Hotel Manchester delivers a true five star experience. Luxurious surroundings, exceptional service, fantastic food, and a perfect central location, we could not have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return.”

“We had our son's 11th birthday party here recently, and it was a great experience - it's such good value, especially the bowling time, the arcade games and the food is lovely. Aleina in particular was a wonderful host who took really good care of us all. This is the third year in a row we've had birthday parties at the Light, and it never disappoints!”

“A hidden gem. I bought some take away vegan cakes. Brilliant, the blueberry muffin cake was fab! Update 22/11 - Saw Andrew White in the comedy space. Excellent gig. 10/10 Hot drinks would have been great on this icy evening.”

“Stopped off after driving past and so glad we did. Was a lovely quaint place with the friendliest and attentive staff and the food was stunning. Definitely couldnt fault the bill either for the quality of the meat alone. Definitely going back”

“Great place. I stopped for a breakfast muffin, barm, breadcake...whatever you call them. Service was swift and pleasant,the place was clean and the food was great. What more can you ask for? I will call again.”

“Nicola provided a buffet for my nephew's 18th on Saturday, I have issues with food, as in I am so so fussy, extremely fussy, I never eat food at a buffet, 1. bread is buttered 2. The cheese is usually grated 3. I don't eat meat, 4. I don't eat anything with pastry, i.e Pies etc cakes Nicola's food was amazing, most of it I could not eat ( that is my issue) the cheese board and crackers was lush, the salad was fresh as was the snacks, I will be using Nicola for any party's we have, hopefully she does Vegan, my granddaughter is only vegan due to medical issues, so the rest of the family did. sorry for the long post,”

“Amazing little dog friendly place! Lovely staff, nice food and delicious cheesecake. Our dogs absolutely loved their cupcakes too! :)”

“The food was absolutely amazing the staff were so kind and amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful”

“Cosy cafe with great selection of breakfast and dinner options. Food is very good and prices are good. A great way to start your morning”

“We have ordered breakfast for delivery from here a number of times now and I can honestly say it’s the best we’ve had in a long time, every single time we haven’t been disappointed. Food is piping hot when it arrives and is beautifully presented you can tell the staff take pride in their food and service. The little touches make such a difference and the staff write little messages on the boxes and receipts saying thank you, or enjoy etc. Will definitely be visiting in person at some point.”

“Lovely chippy with great owners. Mixed kebab is great value and the chilli sauce is lovely.”

“Popped in early for great Sunday breakfast. Excellent service, super big tasty plate full of all the right stuff plus very good coffee/tea. Very clean and cheerful place. Credit to the owners.”

“A really nice place to visit and chill Staff are always friendly”

“Fantastic food and menu and a really lovely atmosphere, it’s always so welcoming and there is a real sense of community that Jonathan, Diane and the whole team foster. The service is brilliant, but beyond service there is a real effort to make it personal, with genuine warmth. Had an open flatbread today which was delicious, as is the specialty coffee.”

“What an amazing venue. We had an amazing night watching three grassroots artists who you can clearly see have been supported by the snug in Atherton. It’s venues like this that make a real difference to the grassroots music here in the UK and without them people would not be able to see the new up-and-coming artists. Ticket price was amazingly low for such great entertainment. Staff were amazing with great service and super friendly with the production staff going out of their way to make sure everything was set up perfect This venue is the heart and soul of grassroots music in Bolton, so give it all your support”

“The shop is very well stocked and always fresh, the staff are always smiling and very helpfull”

“This is the best groomers in manchester I've been using them for years wonderful service all round .”

“What can i say. My new go to Italian restaurant. This place is fantastic. Excellent vaule food absolutely spot on and very nice. The place was packed and I mean packed yet service was fast friendly and spot on. The place has a very relaxed and warming vibe and will be heading back time after time.”

“Initially had an issue with order, review left, contacted by staff the next day, very polite, wanting to make right Very happy”

“Just been there for dinner with some friends on Sunday, the owner (sorry I forgotten his name) just sent us a pizza that we have not ordered, and he said “this is free for you guys, simply because I love your glasses, very special and looking good on you.” No way what a compliment to me!! For sure, both their food and service are surprisingly good. Highly recommended.”

“I had the seafood here and it was absolutely delicious! Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. A wonderful dining experience I’d happily repeat”

“Very nice food! Fab service & friendly staff. Would recommend”

“We were just a walk in and offered a table without complications. Service was absolutely faultless. The staff are very attentive without beings overwhelming and the food was purfect. Very tasty and would recommend Adnans all day long. Thanks from us both to all. P&L from GX”

“"KARIM" What can I say. Despite it being "Ramadan" He opened up the restaurant for our booking at 5pm tonight despite he had no electricity an hour before we arrived and had been fasting all day. SUPERSTAR. I have never read any review anyone who would extend themselves to this level of service. NO WORDS. Super cute lay out of furniture /tables/spacing between the tables. Such a nice vibe. Had the mixed meze. STUFFED Talking to KARIM he's planning to open up for brunch hrs 11-10pm.His dedication and his enthusiasm for his business to succeed doesn't go unnoticed. DEFINITELY ON MY RETURN LIST TO SEE HIM SUCCEED”

“Had lovely fish chips and curry. Also tried the gyros platter which is a taste sensation. Would definitely recommend this place. Staff are nice and polite and the shop is very clean 5*”

“Even though I have e never dined in and only get delivery the food always tastes fresh and full of flavour. The butter chicken and mixed masala lamb and chicken are must try dishes...”
