The most Instagrammed bars and restaurants in Manchester revealed
"For the best burger in Manchester (and maybe the entire Northwest), head to Almost Famous, a low-key restaurant with two locations in Manchester, as well as in Liverpool and Leeds. The burgers are not for the faint of heart, with ingredients pilled high, especially on options like the Crack Shack, which features a double cheeseburger, fried chicken, tater tots, and bacon combined on a bun. There is a vegan option and wings, fries, and a cocktail list that includes a selection called the Bitch Juice."
"Having one of these giant OTT, oozy, piled-high monster burgers is something you should do in your lifetime even if it induces a heart attack. Almost Famous is in retro American diner style with. sweets inside the tables and fun wall art…."
"Named after its location near to the war memorial on Davyhulme Circle, Poppies 11 Cafe is a delightful little place. It's the perfect place to start the day (we'll have a Poppies Breakfast and a Cappuccino) or a great spot to catch up with mates during lunchtime. The cafe also serves a great afternoon tea, with finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and a selection of miniature cakes."
"Manchester Craft & Design Centre, 17 Oak St, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 5JD - Visit now. Nestled away in the very heart of Manchester’s independent-central Northern Quarter, this is the place to head if you prefer to actually meet the person who made the beautiful scarf or earthenware jug you have your eye on."
"Manchester Craft and Design Centre is sometimes overshadowed by more popular sights, however, I think it’s a Manchester spot that shouldn’t be missed. Housed in a former fish market building, the Craft and Design Centre is now a hub for…you guessed it, craft and design. Independent entrepreneurs hire studio space where they can also sell their goods."
"In the heart of the Northern Quarter, you’ll find this hub of creativity inside a former Victorian fish market. Local artists and creatives have set up studios inside, creating and selling art, prints, sculptures, jewellery and ceramics from their own unique spaces. There’s also a cute little cafe and occasional musical performances and exhibitions."
"Proximal to the centre of the city, this public park is one of the finest Victorian parklands in the North West. Opened in 1861 and is listed as Grade II, this municipal park boasts of a Japanese Garden with ornamental plants and astounding water features. Other interesting attractions include the Derby Walk, The Belvedere, Ribble Walk and Boar War Memorial on Board Walk."
"Based at the site formerly occupied by the historic Manchester docks, this area of modern development is a bastion of business, entertainment and beauty. The contemporary cluster contains the aforementioned Lowry and Imperial War Museum, whilst Old Trafford isn’t too far away either. Salford Quays is also home to Media City, a property development dedicated to the media and creative industries that has seen significant development in the city’s standing within film and TV production in particular."
