Best Dinner Places to Eat in Peak Dale

"A restaurant with a view, 20 Stories is a serious hotspot throughout the summer months, thanks to its panoramic views of the city that can’t be found anywhere else. The restaurant is beautiful inside out, with a modern, luxurious feel inside, and a sleek-yet-botanical vibe outside. The menu is just as high end, too, with dishes such as native lobster, roast skrei cod, racks of lamb and so much more."

"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."

"Towering above the city, 20 Stories is one amazing date night restaurant in Manchester. If you're avoiding meat?. Scan through the veggie and vegan plates, which include roast butternut squash, vegetable fricassee and a whole load of tasty sides."

"Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August."

"In February 2020 BC (before Covid) we got all excited with a visit to their about-to-open second Manchester branch on Oxford Road but it remains closed as we pine for a cold beer and a hot bhaji on a long table more than ever. We’ll have to make do with Deliveroo for now. It’s all veggie, as existing fans will know, but vegans have plenty to love from the iconic vada pav to the famous broccoli, kale and onion bhajis."

"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."

"An oriental paradise right here in Manchester, Tattu is undeniably beautiful – situated within the bustling Spinningfields district of our city. Serving up a contemporary menu of Chinese-inspired dishes and featuring a giant cherry blossom tree right in the middle of the restaurant, Tattu is the perfect place for a long-awaited date night, with not only a romantic atmosphere on offer, but a number of small plates that are perfect for sharing over an intimate dinner. Tattu, 3 Hardman Square, Gartside St, M3 3EB."

"If you have never been to Tattu you will be getting Chinese food, but do not let visions of late night sweet and sour pork and MSG ridden spring rolls put you off- this is Chinese food like you have never had it before. Tattu delivers a contemporary approach to Chinese cuisine which is married with western flavours and techniques. Tattu wants to take you on a journey from East to West when you dine with them by showcasing a range of excellent dishes which are stylish, delicious and beautifully presented."

"Why: As with all of the other Ivy restaurants, this Manchester site is dripping in glitz and glamour, so breakfast here is as much about the surrounds as it is the food. Pastries and toast kick things off, while there are full English options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. If you fancy something a little more virtuous there is an extensive section dedicated to eggs and a light and healthy selection too, which features the likes of smoked salmon on rye bread and dairy free coconut yogurt with berries."

"The Brasserie at The Ivy in Manchester do a Saturday and Sunday Brunch (and bank holidays). The restaurant itself is a beautiful art deco inspired space. With options like Truffle Arancini, Zucchini fritti, Eggs Benedict and Avocado Benedict, as well as Hot Buttermilk Pancakes for those (like me) with a sweet tooth!"

"🍰 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."

"It was established in 2006 and has since grown a mini-empire encompassing a cookery school as well as supper clubs and other events in London. Ning, based in the Northern Quarter, was awarded Best Malaysian Restaurant at the Asian Curry Awards 2012. Furthermore, this stylish restaurant is armed with an extremely talented chef in Norman Musa, who was the recipient of the Asian and Oriental Young Chef of the Year award in 2012."

"If I could only visit one place in the Peak District with kids or without it would be Chatsworth House. The House and Grounds are extensive and any absolute must for any UK bucket list!. I personally love wandering around the House and learning more about this history of the family however this probably won’t be the favourite activity of those travelling with small children."

"Originally built by the Victorians, the Pavillion Gardens are made up of 23 acres of pleasure gardens situated right in the centre of town. Stroll past the colourful flower beds, spread your picnic blanket out under the shade of a tree, go boating on the lake, let the kids loose in the play area and take a ride on the miniature train. This is truly the perfect place to while away a sunny afternoon."

"To the south of the city centre is another legendary club, being The Leadmill Sheffield. A favourite place to party for locals and students alike since opening in 1980, this historic venue has hosted some of the biggest bands in history, most notably The Killers, Snow Patrol, The Libertines, Coldplay and even local band Arctic Monkeys before their huge rise to fame!. Nowadays, it still hosts some fantastic bands and live music events."

"An icon of independent music in Sheffield, the Leadmill has been at the centre of the city’s music scene for three decades. The 80s brought everything from post punk to Culture Club to the venue. In the 90s it was Britpoppers Oasis, The Verve, Elastica and Suede, and the grungier likes of Babes in Toyland and Mudhoney."

"Venue is a great night out, 3 rooms; Monday night SHAG is worth a night, as is Cheek/Teenage Kicks on a Wednesday, Thursday night is Naughty, Friday night Love Royale Love is classy. Then there is The Sonic Boom on Saturday. Genuinely can't say much of a bad word against it."

"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."

"CFCCA is the UK leader in Chinese visual culture, with a reputation for debut solo exhibitions and a roster of internationally-renowned artists; impressive considering that, three decades ago, it was just a series of events in Manchester’s Chinatown. As Manchester’s Chinese population is second only to London’s, the centre’s heritage is particularly important; now represented in a new archive and library. Best feature: A vibrant events schedule, spanning film screenings to workshops and even Mandarin lessons"

"Centre For Chinese Contemporary Art is a unique art gallery with a year-round programme of socially engaged exhibitions, events, and artist residencies. They have over 30 years experience of working with emerging and established artists to provide a space for conversation, debate, and cross-cultural exchange. They are the go-to place to discover new artists and explore relevant global issues from different international perspectives."

"Manchester's Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art will reopen both of its galleries on Wednesday May 19. Exhibitions Multiplicities in Flux and Autopsy of a Home, which originally opened in October, will be back until June 13. Booking is advised at cfcca.org.uk but walk-ups are welcome."
