"[Read More…](https://quisine.quandoo.co.uk/guide/best-vegan-restaurants-manchester/attachment/bundobust/). If you’ve done the walk to Market Street from Picadilly Station recently, chances are you’ve seen Bundobust nestled away on Picadilly. It’s a pretty new kid on the block but has already built a reputation for itself as one of the best vegan restaurants in Manchester."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

"The Refuge, Oxford Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 7HA - Visit now. Big news for those who think lunch is the most important meal of the day. The Refuge has relaunched The People’s Lunch – hearty bowls of soul food for just £7.50."

"This stunning space includes a restaurant with a globe-trotting menu, elegant granite bar, and a sparkling winter atrium that serves up afternoon tea and superb cocktails. Ideal for anyone looking for elegance at reasonable prices."

"Winning small plate fusion in an iconic and glamorous setting. Housed in Manchester’s iconic The Refuge Assurance Company dating back to 1858, this DJ-run restaurant and bar is large and sassy."

"We are a relaxed, community-focused, all day, dining kind of place, located on the bustling Chester Road at the front of Stretford Mall."

"Cool and casual, Terrace NQ are all about the big breakfast plates, serving a full English all day. If bacon, sausages and black pudding isn't your cup of tea, the spot has lighter dishes including eggs benedict, or for those with a sweet tooth, a wide range of homemade cakes."

"Terrace NQ, 43 Thomas Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1NA. The clue’s in the name for this Thomas Street staple. Rise up above the dimly lit, elongated bar for one of most airy terraces in the Northern Quarter."

"Decked out with quirky vintage furniture, old gymnasium flooring and exposed brick walls, Terrace NQ is one of Manchester's best rooftop bars. A true hidden gem, this suntrap serves plenty of homemade pizzas and local craft beers to keep hunger pans at bay."

"Evelyn’s is frequented by Manchester’s most stylish crowd – you might even spot a local blogger taking photos by the iconic window. Thanks in part to its delectable food and great coffee, but mainly down to its industrial chic décor, this is a place to be seen in the Northern Quarter. The bare brick walls, abundance of hanging plants and wooden window seat are all pure Instagram fodder."

"A reliable cafe and restaurant in the Northern Quarter, and a good-looking one at that, Evelyn's is perhaps best-known for its brunches and Bloody Marys. Its chunky buttermilk pancakes are dense and delicious, topped with fresh blueberries and honeycomb butter. 4 Hilton Street, M4 1NB"

"Evelyn’s was the first restaurant Lisa and I checked out once we landed in Manchester. It is such a cute spot to enjoy a meal, a cocktail or a cup of coffee. It has a calm and comfortable atmosphere and we were surrounded by green plants everywhere, which we loved."

"Five-star hotel The Lowry underwent a swanky new makeover in late 2019, including a new look for the two-AA-rosette restaurant and bar. Their luxurious dining & drinking terrace is the perfect place to relax out of reach of the bustle of the city centre. With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."

"Situated in The Lowry Hotel on the Manchester/ Salford border, this fine dining breakfast menu is unbeatable. The restaurant itself is glass-walled and overlooks the Santiago Calatrava’s Trinity Bridge. The decor includes purple leather chairs, semi-circular banquettes, Fornasetti plates and mirrors."

"Hidden behind a curtain in a corner of the grand lobby of the Midland Hotel, there’s more than a feel of Alice in Wonderland as you are transported through mirrored doors into the dining room of The French. Soft grey and sage green tones give everything a muted luxurious feel and there are two huge cylindrical chandeliers which throw light back and forth via the mirrored panelling around the room. Chef Adam Reid’s cooking is inventive and playful but executed with real precision and flair."

"If gorgeous food, a fine dining experience and an environment steeped in history are your thing, then make The French your next restaurant of choice. Based within Manchester’s grand Midland Hotel, The French became one of the first UK restaurants to be awarded the honour of a Michelin-star. Since reopening in 2013, and again undergoing refurbishment in 2016, the restaurant has made rapid progress towards once again becoming one of the finest eating destinations in the country."

"The Midland Hotel, 16 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 2DS. Adam Reid has kept The French at the top of Manchester’s restaurant tree for many years, and while the grand dining room is opulent, the vibe feels less formal and the food continues to impress."
