Cheap Places to Eat in Chunal

"Within the thriving sector of Spinningfields sits a top choice restaurant for delicious flavours and tantalising tastes. Tattu’s menu offers a modern spin on classic Chinese cuisine, with an impressive array of dishes to choose from. The restaurant itself has a mysterious feel with its low lighting and delicate decor."

"Best Dish: Beef fillet and caramel soy with shitake and asparagus. Not strictly Chinese, but Tattu does have a mod-Chinese slant inspired by the strong conceptual restaurants found on America's west coast. Think sleek black lacquered furnishings and private booths around a giant cherry blossom tree."

"With its original site in up-and-coming Ancoats and a newly opened branch on Peter Street, it’s a go-to place for pizza and cocktails with your pals. Pizza dough is made on site twice a day and cooked for no longer than a minute to produce a springy base. Choose from toppings including classic margherita with buffalo mozzarella, spicy ‘nduja sausage with tomato and fior di latte, or white pizza with smoked mozzarella, Tuscan sausage and wild broccoli."

"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."

"Rudy’s Pizza, 9 Cotton Street, Ancoats, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 5BF - Visit now. Based in an up-and-coming area of Ancoats, Rudy’s Pizza has a host of rave reviews and it’s no surprise why. The pizzas on offer are top-class, and the restaurant boasts a charming laid-back feel."

"Best Dish: Steamed beef tripe honeycomb in black pepper sauce. Ask for the Cantonese dim sum menu, as that’s where you’ll find the most interesting dishes such as smoky pork cheung fun, mixed meat croquette, sticky rice with smoked diced meats, whelks in an mysterious glutinous sauce, deep fried cuttlefish and yam cakes with smoked meat (read our review here). Mei Dim, 45-47 Faulkner St, Manchester M1 4EE. Tel: 0161 236 6868"

Choose from homemade quesadillas, soups and pies before sampling one of their vegan and gluten free cakes and biscuits.

"Buried in the heart of Chinatown, Pho Cue might be the most unassuming yet utterly consuming takeaway you'll find on this list - and yes, the pun is intentional. Specialising in Vietnamese delights, we've never had a meal from here that hasn't ended in loosening our belts and unbuttoning our pants."

"Although situated just outside of Manchester city centre, on Wilmslow Road, this restaurant definitely deserves a mention on this list. Lotus Vegetarian Kitchen offers so much more choice than your usual vegetarian restaurant. With veggie prawns, beef, and even duck, this restaurant has gone all the way with creating the perfect Asian dishes with bursts of flavour all suitable for all palettes."

"For those seeking vegetarian and vegan options, Lotus Vegetarian Kitchen is the perfect venue. Not only does this restaurant avoid using garlic, onion and leeks, it also caters to any sort of dietary requirements customers might have. The owners are a couple from Hong Kong who want to introduce healthier meal choices to the community."
