"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dolls’ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."
"When the big city gets too big and the bright lights too blinding, we have the perfect solution. Find your sanctuary at Malmaison Manchester Spa. Whether you want to get glammed up and gorgeous for your big night out or melt away that tension after a hard week at work, this place is your perfect spa escape."

"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."
"Home to a hefty selection of draught brews, IPAs, ales and ciders, the Central Square spot is also delivering on the looks front with cosy nooks, fun lighting and an expansive outdoor space."
"A shabby chic decor is combined with distinctive Victorian architecture at Corner House Coffee Bar, so it’s the perfect place to get your brunch fix. They serve up a host of classics, from a Full English to Eggs Benedict and Smashed Avocado on Toast, but you can also try something different. Take the Natural Smoked Haddock Kedgeree for example – it’s a classic Indian dish which brings together rice, flaked fish, eggs and veggies, brought to life with a kick of curry powder."
"Corner House is a coffee shop which serves breakfast, lunch and small plates in an evening. It also has a selection of coffees from around the world and serves alcoholic drinks. There is a specific menu for kids which also includes breakfast options."
"The menu at Sheaf St. isn’t entirely meat-free, but around half the menu is veggie or vegan friendly, which is a pretty good effort. They have a sizeable daytime menu as well as a shorter evening menu, and you’ll want to stick around all day in this cool spot!. They also run events including club nights, so check them out to see if anything takes your fancy."
"3 Sheaf Street, Leeds, LS10 1HDGrub & Grog are an independant caterer, with a permanent residence at Sheaf Street & Duke Studios. kIn a twist to regular labelling, everything on the Grub & Grog menu is vegan unless otherwise stated, and locally sourced – many can be made gluten-free too."
"With The Grub & Grog Shop at the helm, you're guaranteed a good breakfast at Sheaf St Cafeteria. Their crumpets, slathered in butter and jam, are basically heaven on a plate."
"Eastern Bloc Records, 5A Stevenson Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 1DN - Visit now. When Eastern Bloc Records left Oldham Street to reinvent itself as a coffee shop/record shop/event space, we were pretty skeptical. Well, we were wrong!"
"Eastern Bloc Records is a shop for drum ‘n’ bass, jungle, dubstep, house, techno and electronica records and they have a small cafe with sandwiches and coffee/tea. Enjoy some good vibes, expert advice and perhaps even sit on the outdoor terrace for some people watching."
"Lupo Caffè Italiano, located at the Boat Shed, Exchange Quay, serves award-winning Italian coffee. Italian-flavours continue to run through its daily-changing menu which has previous included crostatina with nutella, stuffed peppers and pistachio, and white chocolate muffins. The cafe also makes Italian birthday cakes with custom designs."
