The 30 Best Salads in Manchester

“I popped into Coffee Block for a quick brew and a teacake, and it absolutely made my morning. The lady behind the counter was so friendly and cheerful — she greeted every person who walked in with a big smile and genuine warmth. It was lovely to see how she chatted with the regulars, taking the time to ask about their day. The atmosphere felt so positive and welcoming, and the coffee was spot on. A lovely place all round, and I’ll definitely be returning soon!”

“I had a fantastic experience during my first visit to this place. I absolutely fell in love with it! The staff members were incredibly friendly and helpful, and their warm and welcoming attitude greatly enhanced my overall experience. Additionally, the coffee I had was absolutely delightful, and the pain aux raisins was a true delight. I can't wait to return!”

“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!”

“Started frequenting the Horsebox as was getting repeatedly let down by both coffee quality and service at other local spots. The coffee here is the best around Worsley and the cakes are delicious. Chocolate baklava, who knew? Amazing”

“Every time I come I'm met with a hello from the staff and seated as quickly as possible. It's not a huge place, so as expected from somewhere in demand due to the quality, you have to wait sometimes for a table. Always worth the wait though!! If it's super busy, so the fire exit isn't blocked, you may have to wait outside for health and safety reasons, no biggie but come prepared if the weather is questionable. Great coffee from a local roastery in Bolton and a great menu that isn't overbearing. The chorizo hash is a must have, I get this every time! If you can finish the pancakes... fair play to you! They're awesome but HUGE! Get a doggy bag! Bring all my friends and family here when they visit and they always love it. A great spot with quality that you'd expect to find in the city and coffee to rival the best independent coffee shops.”

“The Black Friar has been amazing to work with for our friendship group's annual Christmas lunch. They made the entire booking process extremely easy, with all the T&Cs clearly outlined from the start. On the day we were looked after by Jess, who was incredible, very quick to respond to any issues raised, never kept anyone waiting, so accommodating with our various quirks (like pictures), and was easy to reach when needed without making it seem like hovering. And always with a smile, of course. Truly, truly a standout member of the team deserving of all the praise. The food at the Black Friar was also divine, incredibly generous portions (that I admit, have bested me) and every bite was a pleasure for all the senses. Our whole group was very happy with the afternoon we got to spend there and we will definitely be looking into coming back for next year's annual Christmas lunch, a total gem of a pub.”

“Second time I've been, Booked a table for 7.00pm. Food excellent, service excellent. We got chatting to the owner, great guy really cares about his customers. We'll be definitely going back. Really good value for money too.”

“Me and my partner started coming here over 2 years ago, we had walked past seeing “cocktails, coffee and pizza” which my partner turned to say it’s a place made for me (I often have a cocktail, water and coffee when out). We have been on sunny days in their outside area and inside - both carry the amazing by atmosphere and impeccable music taste. The staff are friendly and maintain really good service, very relaxed and chilled vibes no matter what time of year. Families, friends and dogs are welcome too! The food - we have tried many of their options but have come to have a standard order of the pepperoni hot honey pizza and pumpkin base with ‘nduja and cheese pizza . These are amazing, the dough is unlike most other places, that the crust alone is something to look forward too. The pumpkin is a personal fave, again hard to find else where and even if you can it’s nowhere near as moreish! They also have amazing vegan and gluten free options - which I have tried the vegan, and again, amazing quality and taste. They do have dessert options- the baked cheesecake is also a must try, not normally a fan of them but I for sure have been won. Sad to see this little place go but well deserved and excited to see the new place just down the road! Hoping it goes well and will be back when it opens!”

“The most perfect coffee, never had a negative experience here. Oat cappuccinos always so tasty:) Often quite loud just because popular with parents+ young children but always a welcoming, cosy atmosphere! One of my go-to cafes!”

“Called in for the first time this morning and was very impressed. Friendly greeting from all the team (most places you hardly get a grunt nowadays). The flat white was very smooth indeed. Highly recommend the place. Good luck and keep up the excellent customer service”

“Very pleasant experience and iced coffee and hot chocolate were great!”

“The food here is amazing. The service is friendly and professional. Had afternoon tea here yesterday and was delicious. My friend has a wheat intolerance and they couldn’t do enough. Her afternoon tea was the best she’s ever had. So nice to have such a quality place in Leigh. Can’t recommend enough.”

“This place is a proper hidden gem. The pizza is the best around. Proper stonebaked pizza, tastes amazing. The burgers are really good too. Just a small restaurant so it has a nice atmosphere and the friendly staff make it even better. Would definitely recommend!”

“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”

“My favourite pizza restaurant in Manchester and probably the UK! The Service is always wonderfully friendly and quick, the quality of the pizzas are second to none and the garlic bread is a great added extra. Tried the tiramisu and affogato this time and both were also great! If you haven’t tried Rudy’s yet and looking for a great place for dinner in Manchester, check it out, you won’t be disappointed and can even take in a range of great surrounding bars for drinks before and afterwards!”

“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!”

“Friendly staff, shawarma was delicious, also their garlic bread is very good. Always made fresh to order and as I said the staff are fantastic. Highly recommend.”

“Ordered 2 pizzas for takeaway and the service was quick - staff were friendly and the pizza was delicious. Overall a great experience 5⭐️!”

“Second visit yesterday and it didn’t disappoint. Great choice of pizzas that are real tasty with lovely thin bases. Fantastic service, already looking forward to my next visit!”

“5 stars - Proper good pizza spot! What a gem this Rudy's is, right in the heart of Chorlton! Pro tip for anyone driving - download the JustPark app and grab a space at Morrison's. It's literally a pleasant 5-minute stroll from there, and you'll work up just enough appetite for what's coming. Our waiter was an absolute legend - had us laughing while being completely on the ball with service. You know when someone's genuinely enjoying their job? That was this guy. Went for the tonno pizza (because who doesn't love a good tuna pizza?) paired with an alcohol-free Peroni - surprisingly decent! Couldn't resist the tiramisu to finish, and honestly, no regrets there whatsoever. The place itself is lovely and spacious, spotlessly clean, and the whole team clearly knows what they're doing. It's got that perfect chilled vibe where you can actually have a conversation without shouting over the noise. Perfect spot for a relaxed lunch - we'll definitely be making this a regular haunt! Oops all ready have ...”

“The staff are amazing people, very polite and friendly. The food came out at a rapid speed. They recommended me to try some food and the food was unbelievable; you could taste every flavour. By far the best restaurant/takeaway in Bolton and I will definitely be going again.”

“Seating is available upstairs and downstairs . Welcoming atmosphere . Good selection of Mediterranean based food , which was so good ! And beautifully presented . The waiters are brilliant , attentive, and knowledgeable with what the restaurant has to offer, we couldn't fault anything , we will definitely be going back 10/10”

“Always fresh and excellent I've been going almost 30 years and Always Always good and friendly too”

“Really good fish and chips couldn't fault the food and the service was good had to wait for the fish to be freshly cooked and it was a decent size and perfectly cooked with a well tasty batter will go again soon”

“Just been here this evening for the first time to celebrate my daughter’s 21st-family of 10. From the minute we walked in, we were warmly welcomed. The staff are so smiley and friendly, the place has a great atmosphere, and the food and presentation was faultless. Nicest place we’ve visited for a long time, thank you!”

“Excellent food and staff, highly recommend as I am a regular here.”

“An excellent whole food restaurant with a varied and flexible menu. Great for a morning brunch and meeting of friends m.”

“Called in today for breakfast. Lovely food and staff”

“HFC Oldham consistently delivers. The food is always absolutely superb—crispy, hot, and full of flavour and it never disappoints. ​What makes this place stand out is the combination of amazing taste with fast service and great value. The staff are always friendly and efficient, making every visit a pleasure. ​If you're looking for the best fried chicken and side dishes in Oldham, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!”

“Fresh and delicious food, the mixed mezze platter definitely a standout. Service very friendly too and BYOB”
