Best Buffet (Seafood, Chinese, etc) in Greenmount

"Nestled between Manchester Cathedral, the National Football Museum, the Corn Exchange, and Chetham’s School of Music are Cathedral Gardens Manchester. It is a new park but provides a great escape if you are in the Manchester city centre and want to take a breath. It is a regenerated area with a water feature that changes with seasons and concrete sitting areas and is now one of Manchester’s best parks."

"Taking its title from the first recorded name for Ancoats in 1212, this neighbourhood bar and kitchen has an accomplished menu and a communal, convivial atmosphere. Inside, a minimal fit out gives a nod to the neighbourhood's industrial heritage, while splashes of colour, artwork, and neon lettering give a contemporary feel to the space. Diners are seated at long bench tables to share dishes such as pig's head croquettes with pear, apple marigold and piccalilli; Jerusalem artichokes, goat's cheese, almond, pine nut and rosemary; and retired Yorkshire dairy cow osso bucco with saffron risotto and fermented carrot."

"This neighbourhood bar and kitchen in Ancoats makes the most of local produce. From Manchester charcuterie, locally-smoked salmon, regional cheeses and the Manchester egg to pig head croquettes, homemade Earl Grey ice cream and Manchester Pale Ale braised ox cheek, the menu is always interesting."

"Making a trade in delicious British plates, this Ancoats restaurant offers a stunning brunch spread of classics such as eggs and breakfast sandwiches, alongside more eccentric offerings like smashed broccoli and ox cheek benedict. And yes, they do have the option to go bottomless."

"Unusually colourful (its orange banquettes and Perspex back-bar give it a look of a 1980s Top of the Pops set), this Dale Street tap-house serves a mix of quality guest beers (Wild Beer, Mikeller, Burning Sky), and Beatnikz’ hop-forward brews, such as I Smash Citra and Generation IPA. The weekday cask ale deals are notable (recently pie ‘n’ a pint £5, Mon/Tues), as is Beatnikz’s ability to bag high-profile guests for its meet-the-brewer events. For instance Arbor Ales and US star Modern Times. Pint from £3.70, beatnikzrepublic.com"

"Beatnikz microbrewery is located in a railway arch in the Green Quarter, and their taproom used to be too. But they closed it last year and moved to a shiny new bar in the Northern Quarter where they’ve just introduced a beer slushie machine. Head in to enjoy their core range of beers."
