Best Dinner Places to Eat in Southowram

"When we wanted to enjoy some cocktails at a rooftop bar one night, some quick research had us landing on 20 Stories. It turned out to be a great decision – 20 Stories was a beautiful oasis of a restaurant, and its rooftop terrace had the greatestview of Manchester. The terrace was like lounge with heating lamps, a few bungalows and we had such a fun time sitting out there in the skies."

"20 Stories Manchester is a rooftop restaurant with incredible views of the city. A cosy wonderland decked out with blankets and heaters in the winter, the outdoor terrace truly comes alive when the sun shines, as alfresco drinking and dining comes paired with luscious greenery."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Located in the heart of the Spinningfields business district, Tattu Manchester is an Instagrammer’s dream. Think penumbral lighting, body art-inspired cocktails and a full-size cherry blossom tree with hand-sewn silk petals. You’d be forgiven for expecting such opulent surroundings to outshine the food."

"Luxurious, sultry and we'd go as far as calling this restaurant sexy, is Tattu one of the most unique and attractive restaurants in the city. That's not all though as it's also home to some of the best Chinese food in Manchester thanks to its roster of dim sum and succulent Pan-Asian plates."

"The Ivy has long-reigned as one of the most beautiful restaurants not only in Manchester but across the UK. Offering up three floors in the Manchester venue – each with a completely different experience – the restaurant is unbeatable if you’re after a lively date night, with a fantastic atmosphere flowing from floor to floor. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning, floral brasserie, the second – a decadent, oriental-inspired Asian restaurant, and on the rooftop – a bright, summery floral terrace also serving the varied brasserie menu."

"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."

"Durability and consistency count for a great deal, which may explain the popularity of the well-established and expanding San Carlo chain, which curren ..." Read our full review"

"Looking for a boutique hotel in Manchester for a foodie base?. When a hotel’s reception doubles up as a cocktail bar you know you’re in for a good time.

"A post shared by ARKELL LDN (@arkellldn) on Feb 14, 2015 at 3:28pm PST. Mughli Charcoal Pit is a budget-friendly, family-run Indian restaurant often voted one of the best curry houses in Manchester.

"Fettle is a slice of Scandinavian serenity in the heart of the city and it’s the perfect place to while away the hours with a coffee. They serve Limini coffee from Cleckheaton, and each cup, whether you go for an espresso, cappuccino or latte, is made with a double shot for a deeper, darker flavour. They also serve Sandows’ renowned cold brew coffee for something different, and you can tuck into a range of tasty Scandi-inspired morsels."

Their brunch menu has dishes from across the globe and plenty of options for us meat-free folk to tuck into, while their smaller evening menu also has several veggie-friendly options. If you’re after a calming atmosphere and some delicious food, then get booked in here now."

"Fettle offers an array of tasty clean eats, inspired by cuisines from across the world. You can try the shakshuka, a hearty vegetable stew, brimming with North African spices. Or if you’re feeling particularly hungry, go for their vegan-friendly gnocchi."

"What: In France, breakfast often involves a pastry or some other kind of baked good and quite frankly, that is the sort of meal we can really get behind. At Le Chalet in Leeds, you can pretend you’ve sauntered off to the Gallic region by tucking into the likes of crepes, croissants and French toast topped with bacon and maple syrup – bon appetit. Where: 31-32 Park Row, LS1 5JD"

"Le Chalet serve their pancakes all day long, so whether you’re in for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can always treat yourself. Keep it traditional with lemon & sugar or get creative with caramel, Nutella and white chocolate. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, their galettes come stuffed with fillings like chicken and smoked salmon."

"Us Brits love tea and Le Chalet has shown us just how good a French tearoom can be. They have 18 different teas for you to choose from, with everything from English Breakfast and Earl Grey to Lapsang Souchong, Hibiscus and Lavender. But it’s not just about the tea."
