Best Dinner Places to Eat in Hollingworth Lake

"What: Rooftop restaurants are a rarity in Manchester and rooftop restaurants with outdoor space even more so. Praise be for 20 Stories then, which offers a sleek and expansive outdoor terrace which benefits from sweeping views of the city. Something of a sun trap on sunnier days, guests here can top up their tans while tucking into a homely terrace menu which includes the likes of a fish finger sandwich, shepherd’s pie and a bao bun stuffed with Korean fried chicken.Where: No 1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, M3 3EB"

"Manchester's highest bar and restaurant - recently named one of the best in Europe - is a must for the city's most glamorous residents. From the terrace bar at 20 Stories you can soak in views right across the city centre and all the way to the Peak District, all with a champagne cocktail in hand. Trees stand two storeys high, with al fresco fireplaces and an outdoor barbecue on site too."

"20 Stories has been taking bookings ahead of reopening, but has also made the decision to hold tables back for walk-in services at its cocktail terrace from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’. The basement bar is filled with casual, communal tables that encourage interaction with fellow punters, and has a relaxed order-at-the-bar system that keeps the crowd mingling. The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"What: Something of an all-rounder, this glamorous Manchester outpost of The Ivy offers menus that take diners through from breakfast till dinner, with brunch and afternoon tea inbetween. The restaurant also comes with two outdoor dining areas, including a rooftop garden that’s available for private hire and a ground floor terrace. While working on your tan, you can tuck Ivy signatures such as the shepherd’s pie and chicken milanese."

"Not satisfied being one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields is offering up Insta-ready puds to match the surroundings. A long-standing feature on their dessert menu, the Chocolate Bombe is a thing of beauty. A hard chocolate shell is turned molten by a hot caramel sauce to reveal a delectable vanilla ice cream and honeycomb core within."

"🍰 There’s a range of luxury desserts to choose from at the Brasserie, including tiramisu, creme brulee and rum baba, but the star of the show is undeniably the chocolate bombe – a melting chocolate dessert with ice cream, a honeycomb centre, and hot salted caramel sauce. I’m drooling just at the thought."

Nazma’s Note: One of the few places where you can get halal break in the city centre this place is pretty big inside and good for groups. I always order the lamb kofta tagine and if I’m in the mood for something sweet, the lebanese spiced hot chocolate is yummy too."

"Bar Fibre are probably best known for their incredible summertime courtyard parties, however their year-round club nights are also worth a shout. Not only have they got a number of DJs spinning dancefloor anthems, but there's also a whopping four floors to choose between."

"In the heart of Leeds' LGBTIQ area, spilling out onto the cheekily named Queen's Court, this is the city's most popular gay bar although it's not just the gay crowd that loves its party atmosphere."

"With a menu featuring sharing margaritas, delectable burgers and hangover-curing brunch dishes, this Northern Quarter spot is the perfect place for wining and dining all day long. Trade in the usual eggs benny for something a little different here; we recommend the Turkish Eggs."

"Nestled in the Northern Quarter, Foundry Project is the go-to for cheat day eats like oven-baked pizzas and stacked burgers. Spread across two floors, they've got mid-morning brunch, late night drinks and dancing till the early hours."

"Along with a banging happy hour, Foundry Project is also cutting costs when eating out in Manchester with their £7 lunch menu. There's a curated choice for everyone, with salads, burgers and pizzas all part of the deal."

"Situated in the new financial district of Manchester, a few minutes stroll away from Deansgate, Zizzi Italian restaurant in Spinningfields offers some of the finest al fresco dining in Manchester, with views overlooking the River Irwell."
