The 30 Best Tapas bars in Manchester

“Amazing home cooked food, such great balanced flavours and truly delicious, healthy menu. Tasted like real Eastern European cooked in the home, which is actually what the lovely host told us: all cooked by his wife. Unbelievable desert, nothing was too heavy, but rich and layered tastes. Wine didn't disappoint either. Looking forward to trying again!”

“Wow! Food and Service absolutely amazing. My Gyros Platter was unreal and my wife had the Kleftico which was amazing. Best food we have eaten in a long time and the owners were so welcoming. We will definitely be back.”

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

“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”

“Great value, large portions and very tasty food served very quickly.”

“Intimate little restaurant serving fabulous food, all cooked on order by owner and Chef, Mandy. The paella is the best I have ever tasted but don't forget to check the specials board as well. When everything is so good it's ideal that it's tapas, perfect for sharing with family and friends. Menu prices are very reasonable and as it's BYOB, you save money bringing your own alcoholic drinks. (Edit ; they charge that small an amount for corkage i never even noticed until they replied to this review) Friendly, attentive staff in a lovely relaxed atmosphere complete the picture, making this one of my favourite places to bring the people that I love. x”

“Brilliant from start to finish, welcoming staff and owner. The food was superb! Best tapas I’ve had in a long time! I will be back very soon!”

“Brilliant food, fabulous service. Have been a couple of times now and the food is always spot on. Good portions and great value for money. The staff are always very friendly too! Best Tapas restaurant in the Tameside area by a mile.”

“Came in after being really let down by the market food hall across the road (I’m far too Northern to pay £16 for a pie.) As a lunch, from start to finish the most perfect lunch I’ve ever had. Seriously. I would travel out Of my way to come here again”

“Bianca was amazing tonight and looked after us so well. Great food and speedy service too. Thank you”

“I've never left a review for anything before but I was so blown away by this experience, I felt I should leave one. The food was incredible, I had the king prawns, tenderstem broccoli and spinach but would recommend all dishes. The drinks were delicious and the service was flawless. Thank you to everyone at Las Ramblas for such a lovely experience. I would recommend you to anyone.”

“Today, I had the opportunity to visit this traditional Greek tapas bar, which I’ve often come across on social media. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and guided to our reserved table. The staff’s professionalism and attentiveness were evident from the outset, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. The service was seamless, with the team demonstrating a deep knowledge of the menu and offering helpful recommendations. The selection of tapas we ordered reflected the authentic flavours of Greek cuisine. Each dish was thoughtfully presented, and the freshness of the ingredients was noticeable. Overall, the flavours were well-balanced and met our expectations. The only minor drawback was that the calamari was slightly saltier than I would have preferred, but this did not significantly detract from the overall experience. The quality of the ingredients, the cooking techniques, and the attention to detail in the seasoning were all impressive. By Manchester standards, this restaurant delivers a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience, both in terms of taste and service. With its warm atmosphere and well-executed menu, it’s an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy an evening out with friends or simply indulge in authentic Greek flavours. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.”

“Called in last night, without a booking. No problem, got seated and from then on the experience was a pleasure. Service and staff were excellent, very friendly and made you feel comfortable and relaxed. The food was unbelievable. Absolutely delicious and very generous portions unlike some. We will definitely be going back, already recommended to friends. Thank you La Casa”

“Family meal, first visit. What a lovely place. Such a friendly welcome and great service. The food was excellent, the best italian I have eaten for a long time. Varied choices all got great reactions. This was the first visit but we will be back.”

“The food was absolutely incredible, definitely the best Tapas I've eaten outside of Spain! The service was on point, Jose made us feel welcome immediately and was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going back for more, I loved it!!”

“Had a bottomless brunch with manager Cameron and it was the best brunch we've been to. Some of the best food we've had as well, absolutely mouth watering. Whether it's for brunch or a meal out I'd highly recommend coming here. The staff and service was 10/10 and lovley atmosphere, will definitely come again”

“Unique take on typical indie-cafe food! I had a slightly spicey bacon butty and eggs benedict which had a delicious kick and I've never tried such a unique take on traditional breakfast food! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere :)”

“Great Bar in the heart of prestwich village. A good range of beers and spirits, with friendly staff and a warm atmosphere!”

“Yuzu is authentic with the taste of food and even atmosphere similar to what you could get in Japan; been visiting constantly, the food never disappoints, and the service is really attentive.”

“This place seems to have a bit of a rep locally but from the 5 or 6 times I have been in here after a night at the market I have really enjoyed it great atmosphere and the staff are really lovely and have never seen any trouble”

“The Indian food from The Pearl is spot on. Consistently great. Fair prices. Lovely staff. Garlic naans are outstanding. The Biryanis are delicious. Keep it up- love it!”

“First time today, the food was amazing!!! Loved the option for a two/three course meal at around £23. The Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned!! And tasted so good and the portion size was perfect. The cookie desert was so tasty! Again the flavours were amazing. Defo coming back again.”

“Amazing place, the host was great, would recommend”

“We didn't have any food. The atmosphere is great, and the service is brilliant. Albert does the best cocktails”

“Great beer and great service. The staff are always so friendly and accommodating.”

“We booked initially for 10 people but then added an extra 9. The restaurant were very accommodating and did everything to ensure we had the best night. We pre-ordered our food so everything was ready together - one of our party even said how great it was doing the pre-order so we could just enjoy our evening. We were celebrating a 50th birthday and were able to put up a banner and take balloons. The staff were all so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Now onto the food- which was delicious. All dishes were presented well and were very fresh and tasty - which is how I expect Mediterranean food to be. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly and from what the rest of the party said - their dishes were amazing too. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back. Massive thanks to Mina who did a fantastic job of looking after us.”

“Magnificent meal to celebrate a birthday. Extremely friendly and attentive staff, and food so delicious, we’ve been dreaming about it all again today. We had the lamb birria taco (to die for!!) and a sharing tray of meats. Highly recommended, with excellent music & strong cocktails to boot. We will be back for sure! Thank you all for a wonderful evening meal”

“They normally have a good selection of ales here when I visit, but it was a little weaker than usual. Quality is excellent however.”

“A great little bar with a good selection of changing beers on draught and an extensive selection of bottled beers which you can also drink in the bar with a small additional charge. There is some outside seating too. Well worth a visit if you are in Prestwich.”
