If you’ve done the walk to Market Street from Picadilly Station recently, chances are you’ve seen Bundobust nestled away on Picadilly.

"With acclaim from national reviewers, Bundobust's street food and craft beer philosophy may seem simple, but it's hella tasty. The Manchester restaurant is a must for sharing vegan food; though don't end up squabbling over the bhel puri - a mix of pastry, peas and tamarind chutney."

"With its famous cherry tree in permanent, soft pink bloom in the main dining room, Tattu makes a picture-perfect backdrop for a romantic meal for two.

Its cocktails are spectacular too - try the Samurai's Garden, a smoking carafe of gin, rose and tonic for two to share (£40)."

"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."
