Best Dinner Places to Eat in Love Clough Road

"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."

"If you want to push the boat out for a special occassion, 20 stories is the place to go.

"Indian street food joint Bundobust will be serving special dosas all week, including its year-round classic masala dosa (rice pancakes filled with cauliflower and potato).

The sweet dosa is available until March 1 for £5, or today you can get the savoury and sweet dosa in a combo deal for £10."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We already know that Tattu is a swoon-worthy date night bar in Manchester, but did you know this place serves a quirky cocktail featuring a mini cherry blossom tree inside it?. Sip on this and plenty of other unique mixes while grazing on Pan-Asian plates for the ultimate experience."

"Impossible has created a real reputation for extravagance in the short time it has been open. The club provides a totally immersive experience rather than your standard vodbull night out. Fire breathers and scantily clad dancers are on show and the venue provides a true sense of occasion that is often found lacking at most venues."

"Right in the centre of Peter Street, the Impossible bar boasts one of the most impressive beer terraces in Manchester. With bottomless brunches and cocktails all round, Impossible is taking booking enquiries now!. No more words needed."
