"Officially the highest eating and drinking spot in the city, in its short existence 20 Stories has become a Manchester icon thanks to food and drink menus that are able to do justice to its sweeping panoramic views. Think dishes like Manchester Gin beetroot cured Scottish salmon with sour cream and pickled cucumber - and a very Instagrammable Manchester tart cocktail. As far as rooftop terraces go, it ticks all of the boxes and then some with a mixture of cosy fire pits and plenty of cover for cold snaps, as well as uncovered spots to soak up the sun."
