Where to Get Your Street Food Fix – These Vendors Ain't Going Nowhere
"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."
"Not because it's hugely over-hyped (which it is) and not because, at weekends, the queue for a table will sap your will to live. No, I almost didn't include it because AF sells itself in a very un-Manchester tone of, not hipster cool exactly, more lippy idiocy. On the website and on the walls, there is a lot of attitude and a lot of pointless posturing about its take-it-or-leave-it, love-us-or-hate-us untamed approach."
"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…."
"Head to My House Diner if you like your takeaway to be belly bursting. The American-inspired takeaway is famed for its burgers – you can try The Elvis Presley, which comes piled high with smoked cheese, bacon and Tennessee BBQ sauce. Or just work your way through a heaving menu of chicken, calzones, wings and kebabs, washed down with one of their indulgent milkshakes."
"Manchester Opera House is the Palace Theatre’s little sister. It’s located on Quay Street, near Spinningfields. It is smaller than the Palace theatre however, there are still some amazing productions to see here."
"They’re made fresh in house every day and they keep things interesting by switching up the flavours, so there’s always something new to try. Take the Lucky Charms donut for an example. This epic ball donut is deep-fried, stuffed with marshmallow and covered in vanilla fudge icing before they top it with that all-important Lucky Charms cereal to create a sweet and sticky treat like nothing you’ve had before."
"The Rice Bowl aims to provide the very best in Chinese cuisine and hospitality. They are constantly trying out new ideas in their kitchen, they would love to find out what you think. In the 1950s against the background of the Chinese Cultural Revolution Wing Lau and family left Shanghai for England."
"Oriental City, in LS7, is a massive hit with those who’re out for a serious eat. Perhaps the most widely remarked aspect of eating at the long running establishment is that their portion sizes are generous. They’ve got an exceptionally big menu, too, so if your out with picky eaters, there’s almost guaranteed to be something on the menu that’ll tickle their fancy."
"A large banquet hall hidden above a small wholesale supermarket. Huge homemade Dim Sum menu, Hong Kong style dishes, and if you like what you’ve had, pick up the ingredients on your way out."
