Whether
you’re after a taste of the Orient, fine Asian cuisine,
something a little out of the ordinary or just good old
pie and chips, Manchester has a restaurant to suit everyone’s
taste buds.
There are hundreds of eateries to choose from in the heart
of the city, from lavish hotel restaurants to trendy café-bars,
and there are plenty more in Manchester’s neighbouring
town and villages. So here are some suggestions for places
to grab a bite to eat in the North West’s premier
city.
For starters why not try out the mean burgers at the hugely
popular American diner, Hard Rock Café [map],
which is located in the fantastic Printworks complex.
With an enormous 80-feet high neon electric guitar outside
it’s hard to miss this famous restaurant, which
is part of the worldwide chain. Like the Hard Rock Cafes
in London, Milan and New York, this one has American rock
memorabilia adorning its walls and it has a no-nonsense
Tex-Mex menu. There is also a Hard Rock shop where you
can buy branded merchandise, from pin badges to baseball
caps and jackets.
Another must when it comes to eating out in Manchester
are the restaurants in Chinatown, which is the
world’s third largest behind San Francisco and Vancouver.
Among the most popular eateries here are, Pearl City
[map] , with its distinctive neon-lit entrance, and Yang
Sing [map],
which offers a great dim sum selection.
Manchester is also famous for its Indian food so the Curry
Mile in Rusholme cannot go without a mention on this
page. Here’s where you’ll find a large cluster
of restaurants, including Indian, Turkish and Iranian,
which are among the best of their kind in Britain.
But for a truly unique Asian dining experience, try the Mongolian Barbeque [map] in the city centre, which offers Mongolia food made using
cooking practices from the times of Genghis Khan.
If you need a welcome break from a day’s shopping
or sightseeing then head for one of Manchester’s
many sandwich bars and
coffee shops, including locally-owned Java Bar Espresso
[map].
For a cup of traditional English tea then head out of
town to Didsbury where you’ll find the Bumbles
Tea Rooms. Situated on an old cobbled street this
wonderful little teashop comes complete with low wooden-beamed
ceilings and was even featured in the English Tea Trail
book.
If it’s an evening of fine
dining you’re planning then you’ll be
spoilt for choice in Manchester with many restaurants
that have become a must on the celebrity scene, including Reform and The Living Room [map] .
Or for a slap up meal than can only be rivalled in London
then head to the Zinc Bar and Grill [map] in the Triangle leisure complex, which is Terence Conran’s
first restaurant outside the capital.
For a nice meal that doesn’t cost the earth head
to one of the city’s all-you-can-eat buffet eateries,
including the No 1 Oriental Buffet Restaurant [map].
This hugely popular venue offers more than 60 different
starters, main courses and sweets from various types of
Chinese cuisine.
Another popular restaurant that has a reasonable priced
menu is La Tasca [map] on Deansgate, which has a good choice of tapas and paella.
So whatever you fancy to eat, you’ll find what you’re
looking for among Manchester’s delightful mix of
chic, traditional and unique restaurants.
