Best Dinner Places to Eat in Dove Holes

"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."

"If you want to push the boat out for a special occassion, 20 stories is the place to go. This glamorous rooftop restaurant and cocktail bar offers panoramic views of the city, and is reassuringly welcoming to families. Kids have their own menu featuring delicious dishes like ‘make your own’ Eton Mess."

"This Indian eatery first opened in Leeds but has now expanded to become a chain of three, including one branch located in Manchester’s Piccadilly. Hidden down a set of stairs in a basement off an unassuming city centre street, this place might be hard to find, but it’s worth searching for. Most dishes are vegan, including the newly launched for 2020 vada pav burger, which consists of a deep-fried mashed potato ball, red and green chutneys and deep-fried (spicy) green chilli, all in a vegan-friendly bun."

"A vegetarian and predominantly gluten-free restaurant, Bundobust is serving some of Manchester's best cheap eats. For just £6, you can munch on a bhaji butty, vada pav veggie burger and raghda pethis mushy pea cakes, with a wide choice of cocktails to top it off."
