Top Best American Restaurants in Whalley Range

"Home sweet home is an American style diner with variety of tantalising dessert options on the menu. Not only that but if you really do want to follow the parents advice of no desserts before your meal, this is the perfect place due to the impressive savoury options on the menu, including toasties, tacos, eggs, bacon, waffles, fried chicken and steak. The indulgent sweet treats includes ice-cream shakes, milkshake, deep dish cookie pie and not forgetting the arrays of colourful cakes to satisfy all your heart’s cravings."

"The Great Northern branch of Home Sweet Home offers an afternoon tea with a difference. As well as a selection of loose leaf teas or coffees and a tier of mini open bagels with maple cured BLT and smoked salmon, there is also a tier of fresh churros. The warm Spanish style doughnuts are dusted with cinnamon sugar and Dreamcheese frosting and served with warm Nutella dip and fresh strawberries."

"Not because it's hugely over-hyped (which it is) and not because, at weekends, the queue for a table will sap your will to live. No, I almost didn't include it because AF sells itself in a very un-Manchester tone of, not hipster cool exactly, more lippy idiocy. On the website and on the walls, there is a lot of attitude and a lot of pointless posturing about its take-it-or-leave-it, love-us-or-hate-us untamed approach."

"Why: As far as burger joints go, you’ll struggle to find a city that doesn’t have a least a dozen to choose from. Almost Famous has all the qualities you’d expect from a casual burger restaurant."

"Almost Famous in the Northern Quarter has made the decision to reopen for walk-ins only, and you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"South of the border' passion is always served up at Chiquito. A menu of bold Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is prepared however the diner likes it."

"Review - Absolutely delicious, best vegan option I’ve had in a long time, the burger was extremely tasty and the salt and pepper fries, just wow.. defiantly be ordering again."

"Serving the most delicious and well-portioned breakfast meals, their pancakes are a real highlight for guests. Stacked high with all the toppings, menu items include berries and cream, banoffee, peanut butter and bacon with maple syrup. Each stack includes three buttermilk pancakes, and there’s even vegan options available too!"

"The Turing Tap is the bright and airy pub serving a selection of cheap small plates, pizzas, burgers and comfort food classics, all at pocket-friendly prices."

"Bolinhos de Chuva, a dessert popular in Brazil and Portugal, are delicious deep-fried doughnuts. Head to the Corn Exchange for Cabana’s version, a portion of cute little fried doughballs stuffed with oozing Nutella. The name apparently refers to the raindrop shape the batter makes when it hits the oil, and to the idea that a rainy day is the perfect time to make the dish."

"This is another opening that will be the talk of the town when it reopens, as the Manchester Jewish Museum unveils its £6m transformation to the public for the first time. You'll have to be patient though - the Chetham Hill venue won't open until July 2, when it kicks things off with a MIF co-commissioned installation. General admission tickets will be available soon at manchesterjewishmuseum.com."

"Daily tours guide you through the lives of Jewish Mancunians in 1912. Guest exhibitions focus not only on the Jewish community but also the wealth of ethnic diversity in industrial Manchester. The only Jewish Museum outside of London, it allows you to explore the life, culture and contributions of the Jewish community to the city."

"The Manchester Jewish Museum is the only Jewish museum you will find out of London. The Victorian building is Grade II listed and was built in 1874. It is, therefore, the oldest synagogue in Manchester."

"A stone’s throw from the traffic of Great Ancoats Street, this brewery tap has a Zen-like calm. Ornamental plants decorate a minimalist, Scandi-style pale-wood interior, while tasteful electronica burbles away discreetly. It is a space as design-conscious as Cloudwater’s artwork; large versions of which are displayed on-site."

"Manchester is a city of secrets, but what about secret bars?. Hidden behind a launderette, confuse your date by leading them to the tumble dryers, and straight past into a cocktail bar. Elusive and chocka with interesting mixes, The Washhouse is sure to be a top talking point for you both."

"And the best night out in Manchester according to TripAdvisor?. It’s The Washhouse, one of the city’s most popular “secret” bars. Hidden inside what appears to be a laundrette (note – they will not be catering for your dirty washing), booking is essential."

"Just on the outskirts of Manchester, Sakura is an authentic Japanese restaurant with some fabulous decor. The place prides itself on its delicious sushi combinations and is well known for its easy-going all-you-can-eat buffet designed to reduce the stress of the traditional buffet. Guests simply order their food from an iPad at their table, which is then brought out to them as soon as its ready."
