Best Dinner Places to Eat in Farington

"D&D London group’s all-day restaurant, bar and grill, 20 Stories, on the 19th floor of the No1 Spinningfields building in central Manchester. The modern British menu in the main restaurant showcases local produce, with the majority sourced within a 50-mile radius of the city. Herdwick lamb sits on potato gnocchi and chanterelle mushrooms, poached John Dory is served with a smart langoustine velouté and white asparagus, and butter-poached salsify is topped with burnt leeks and parsnip purée."

"Not only does it hold the title as Manchester's highest restaurant, but 20 Stories has also garnered acclaim for its locally-sourced eats. Dishes such as truffle risotto and grilled halibut with a pistachio crust are paired with an impressive wine list to make for a memorable evening."

If you’ve done the walk to Market Street from Picadilly Station recently, chances are you’ve seen Bundobust nestled away on Picadilly. It’s a pretty new kid on the block but has already built a reputation for itself as one of the best vegan restaurants in Manchester."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"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."

"One of the most impressive puddings in Manchester, this adorable option from luxe Chinese restaurant Tattu was designed to be eyed-up as much as to be eaten. The chocolate pagoda has become a regular fixture on Instagram grids and it's not hard to see why. The dinky little structure is in the running to be the city's most delicious dessert, promising soft brownie or hazelnut sponge cake and silky sauces."

"Tattu is a family run business that offers contemporary Chinese cuisine in remarkable surroundings. The goal was to build a customer experience that stimulates all senses, fusing beautiful and meaningful design with quality and innovative Chinese cooking - and they’ve certainly achieved it. The food is as ‘grammable as the venue itself."

"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."

"A very special spot standing proud in the centre of Spinningfields, The Ivy consists of three charming floors – one of which is completely decked out in the most spectacular, Far Eastern-inspired decor. And the nods don’t end there. The menu is completely inspired by Asia, too, taking inspiration from all corners of the continent when curating their menu."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"One of the largest restaurants to open in the UK in 2018 with 535 covers, The Ivy Spinningfields is set over four floors with a ground floor brasserie, ..." Read our full review"

"Footage think that brunch is the most important meal of the day, and based on that logic, they’ve made their bottomless brunch available every single day of the week!. That’s ninety minutes of bottomless prosecco, beer and G&Ts, coupled with one of their yummy brunch dishes, for a mere £20pp. Wallet-friendly as well as fun, that’s what we like to see!"

"That pool gets a lot of attention on the ‘gram but King St Townhouse also boasts a picturesque rooftop terrace with views over the Town Hall and beyond. It’s secluded and comfortable (thanks to that all-important canopy and heating) and unlike other sun-dependent spots, the terrace is as enjoyable on sunny days as it is watching dramatic skies roll in over the city. Seasonally changing cocktails might include a Summer Daze with gooseberry gin, St. Germain elderflower and Passoa and a choice of meat or cheese sharing boards will keep you sated."

"The King Street Townhouse, which has been described as 'the antithesis of a chain hotel', is famous for its showpiece infinity spa pool overlooking Manchester town hall. It is based in a grade-II listed building and opened its doors at the end of 2015. Recently bought out by The Hut Group, the venue also boasts an impressive array of events and function rooms, including a rooftop room with, yes, more stunning views across Manchester, and a ground floor restaurant, The King Street Tavern."

"Well the Spa by Saving Grace at King Street Townhouse is just that sort of place. It offers holistic treatments like Indian Head Massage or a Hot Stones Treatment as well as tailor-made spa days. Choose the ‘Body Sensation’, which includes a full body massage, a foot and scalp massage followed by an intense holistic mini facial."

"The daytime eatery is situated inside Lord Street's stunning Wayfarers Arcade. Of its 223 Tripadvisor reviews, Pudding and Pie has 130 'Excellent' reviews and 65 'Very Good' and the bistro-style cafe serves hearty homecooked British meals."

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."

"If you’ve been to a birthday party or wedding in the last few years, you have most probably seen, and possibly eaten, one of Zara Neild’s iconic cakes. Zara makes customised bakes for every occasion and her shop in Prestwich whips up everything from mini cupcakes to full size dream cakes. You can personalise every morsel and they excel when it comes to fluffy centres and decadent flavours."

"In this place, which prepares various desserts and cake menus for weddings, birthdays and special events, there is also a special cake workshop designed for children. You can try cakes with many different, delicious and interesting designs. 351 Bury Old Rd, Prestwich, Manchester M25 1QA"

"Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a single cake. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get beautiful cakes on a budget. Zara Cakes is your best choice if you don’t want to sacrifice quality."

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."

"This underground bohemian non-profit café serves also as an exhibition space for local up and coming artists; so enjoy coffee and lunch, while admiring the latest art installation, in the company of creative individuals. Tucked away, just off Oldham Street, lit with a neon pink sign, and a quirky window display, follow the artwork down the stairs as you are led into the café. Greeted by a buzz of chatter, an assortment of miss matched comfy chairs, and a book case with books to borrow, you are instantly made to feel welcome."

"This not-for-profit establishment located in the heart of Manchester has combined creativeness with non-alcoholic beverages and craftsmanship. This is the perfect place to head if you’re looking for a relaxed yet fun atmosphere. Regular events and art exhibitions are extremely popular here, the delicious cups of hot coffee are just a great bonus!"

"Located just down the road from our Peel Park campus, this lovely little place combines art with coffee, tea and cake. The tea room offers a very relaxed atmosphere, as well as daily home-baked cakes, while the upstairs gallery is home to six week long exhibitions with work by local artists, including some from Salford students. Hot drinks are reasonably priced and the decor is stunning."

"Yvette Fielding opened this tearoom and even pours the tea herself – so if you want a dining experience with a difference then this is sure to be it. The venue itself is set next to the famous Manchester Cathedral with views that look across towards Salford. It is virtually impossible to walk past without being tempted to go inside and enjoy a slice of cake or an afternoon tea."
