Best Dinner Places to Eat in Little Town

"20 Stories rooftop terrace is famous across the city for its stunning 360 ° views of Manchester’s skyline. The perfect spot for a girls night out, the terrace restaurant is open for bookings for food from 12th April, with walk-ins if you just fancy a drink. Oh Manchester 😍 #ILoveMcrpic.twitter.com/0mtxlqNrTy"

"20 Stories is one of Manchester's most romantic rooftop restaurants, with stunning views and equally impressive interiors filled with botanical touches. As for the menu, expect brassiere-style British classics with a focus on fresh and seasonal ingredients."

"Located on the Albert Docks, Bold Street and Allerton, Maray is a funky fusion restaurant with tastes of the Middle East, Asia, Scandi, America and Britain, is constantly filled with chatty crowds on long communal tables. Each location has something different to offer, but still consistent with the high standard and buzzing atmosphere that comes with the Maray name. I went with some friends to the Maray on the Albert Docks, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."

"Home of the disco cauliflower, Maray is one of our all-time favourite restaurants. While Maray’s menu isn’t entirely vegan, they do offer a wide variety of vegan options. You can also ask for the vegan version of their classic cauliflower dish."

"From the Indian streets to a restaurant on Bold Street, Mowgli brings the taste of Indian street food to the city. According to their website, “Mowgli is not about the intimate, hushed dining experience. It is about the smash and grab zing of healthy, light, virtuosic herbs and spices.” With simple wood tables, bare brick walls and birdcage lights, Mowgli is the perfect place for a chilled breakfast, lunch or dinner with a separate vegan menu perfect for you."

"Mowgli prides itself on showing the truth about how Indians eat at home and in the street. They emphasise mixing and matching up smaller dishes; particular highlights fr us would be their signature Yoghurt Chat Bombs, the Gunpowder chicken and the Mowgli Chip Buttie (with turmeric fries). Their take on a traditional Goan fish curry is also nothing short of mind blowing."

"For some super tasty (and a little spicy) Indian dishes look no further than Mowgli. The menu consists of small plates, so your best bet is to go with a load of friends, order everything off the menu and mix and match. The Paneer curry with elephant bread will change your life, trust us."

"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."

"You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking; we recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes."

"This vegetarian Indian street food restaurant has plenty of options for vegans, such as onion and kale bhajis, vegan Vada Pav and Tarka Dhal. Available to order on Deliveroo from the Northern Quarter restaurant."

"For the ultimate swashbuckling experience get yourself down to the heart of the historic Albert Dock and seek out the famous Smugglers Cove. The 19th century listed building, formerly a spice warehouse, is famous for its 151 premium and rare assortments of rum including spiced, white, gold, dark and overproof. However, they also serve some great food in very imaginative ways."

"Dine in this Pirates paradies at the Royal Albert Dock on your next visit into Liverpool. Boasting a selection of 141 rums, 80 beers, an extensive wine list, unique cocktails and incredible food menu you’ll have an amazing experience down at Smuggler’s Cove. View this post on Instagram"

"The popular pirate themed restaurant has now added a selection of vegan friendly dishes to their ever evolving menu. Options include Crispy Gnocchi with truffle mayo, Roasted Sweet Potato with red onion and beetroot and sweet and Spicy Pepperpot Stew served with rice and peas."

"Street food fair GRUB has found a new home at the Redbank Project in the Green Quarter, where it has an excellent outside area and a roster of food traders. It will open its outside space seven days a week for the week of April 12, with bookings available (and disappearing fast) three weeks in advance. You can see the latest availability, as well as who's trading when, on their website."

"GRUB was already the biggest street food event in Manchester, but now it’s earned itself a new title: their ‘Plant Powered Sundays’ festival is the first ever weekly vegan street food event in Europe. It takes place every single Sunday, with some of the best vegan food vendors in the country. The festival will return this month at Redbank."

"From 7.30pm tomorrow, GRUB will be teaming up with Liverpool favourites Crepe Chateau to host an evening of all things pancake from their new Red Bank home. Tickets are a must and include two courses of filled crepes cooked to order and brought to your table. For matched beers too, select the £15 option."

"If you want a really relaxed and laid back atmosphere then Free State Kitchen is absolutely ideal. As well as delicious food and cracking drinks, FSK also features markets throughout the summer months, selling local wares and handmade goods, and fantastic live music. In the evening, the fairy lights go on, turning the garden into a really magical place to sit and chat with friends."

"FSK’s back garden has to be one of the nicest spots off Hope Street, and it’s just launched a menu of festive drinks including sloe gin mulled wine and boozy hot chocolate, so if you book an outside table you can combine the two!. The outside tables go quickly, so just message them with your chosen time and they’ll do their best to fit you in."

"This powerful jalapenoi-packed hot dog, complete with roast tomato and garlic salsa with cheddar and caramelised onions, is a triumph. The Maryland Street diner offers a wide range of burgers and sandwiches and is among those planning to host a stall at the upcoming Liverpool Food and Drink Festival."

"While not a museum per se, Manchester Art Gallery is home to exhibitions focusing on the development of the arts over time and eras of history. If you are a fashion lover, this should definitely be one of your sightseeing stops, as they usually host at least one exhibition connected to fashion."

"There is so much amazing street art in the city and some of the works are really Instagrammable. Some of my favourite paintings were the one of Arya Stark and, of course, Eleven from the Stranger Things. Some other street art in Manchester that I loved included these works in the photos below."
