Best Fine Dining in Parrock Street

"What: Something of an all-rounder, this glamorous Manchester outpost of The Ivy offers menus that take diners through from breakfast till dinner, with brunch and afternoon tea inbetween. The restaurant also comes with two outdoor dining areas, including a rooftop garden that’s available for private hire and a ground floor terrace. While working on your tan, you can tuck Ivy signatures such as the shepherd’s pie and chicken milanese."

Adam’s Great British Menu-winning dessert Golden Empire is a must-try, alongside four, six or nine course tasting menus.

"A post shared by Mary G (@mairahgorman) on Jul 5, 2019 at 10:49am PDT. Australasia is a chic modern restaurant that offers guests a fusion of traditional Australian and Asian cuisines. After descending the restaurant’s distinctive glass pyramid, guests are transported into an elegant dining space meant to resemble the beaches of the Pacific Rim."

"Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences, served in a glamorous subterranean venue in Spinningfields. Pacific Rim flavours are underpinned by classic European cooking techniques in a menu that spans sushi and sashimi to robata grilled meat and fish. Don’t miss the signature black cod."

"Australasia (1 The Avenue), a glam subterranean bar-restaurant goes on late and gets busy. Visit pre-dinner to enjoy a rose and lychee martini. Check out our full review of Australasia here…"

"Fine dining made casual with a modern spin on British classics, in the shiny First Street development just outside Manchester’s city centre. High ceilings tower over dark wood and teal furnishings, with cosy booths and dim lighting. An open kitchen gives diners a view of the MasterChef at work."

"Jack Rosenthal Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M15 4RA. Opened by former MasterChef winner Simon Wood, this is a large, welcoming venue. Whether you opt for the fine-dining a la carte, good-value set lunch or tasting menu, the kitchen allows fresh ingredients to shine."

"Five-star hotel The Lowry underwent a swanky new makeover in late 2019, including a new look for the two-AA-rosette restaurant and bar. Their luxurious dining & drinking terrace is the perfect place to relax out of reach of the bustle of the city centre. With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."

"Situated in The Lowry Hotel on the Manchester/ Salford border, this fine dining breakfast menu is unbeatable. The restaurant itself is glass-walled and overlooks the Santiago Calatrava’s Trinity Bridge. The decor includes purple leather chairs, semi-circular banquettes, Fornasetti plates and mirrors."

"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."

"CFCCA reopens with a duo of exhibitions investigating and unpicking themes of belonging, identity and citizenship in a globalised and hyper-connected society. Housed in CFCCA’s Northern Quarter galleries, the exhibitions are just a few minutes’ walk from the Arndale Shopping Centre. Multiplicities in Flux brings together works by contemporary artists Grace Lau and Eelyn Lee in a dialogue around identity and belonging."

"A cosy and friendly café located down Cannon Street, Ravenous boasts an ample selection of breakfast and lunch options to enjoy alongside smoothies and fruit juices. The accommodating staff are more than happy to cater for your tastes and dietary requirements, with a variety of seriously tasty vegan options available, including a vegan full English breakfast."

"If you’re after some light refreshment, then the many cafes dotted about Preston City Centre will provide you with exactly what you need. From famous coffee house retailers to an interesting mix of inviting independents, you most certainly won't be stuck for choice."

"The first Instagrammable place that we visited in Manchester was a trendy coffee and breakfast spot called Hampton and Vouis, which reminded me of a show home in a luxury property development. I really liked the pink colours and beautiful designs and if you’re looking for a perfect photo spot in Manchester that is not so busy in the morning, head there!. If you need to store your luggage in a safe place, while you’re exploring the city, I recommend using LuggageHero – they have a lot of storage locations and amazing rates."

"Taking great pride its award-winning speciality coffee, Hampton & Vouis is still open this weekend in the heart of the city centre to grab yourself a freshly-brewed cup to go. 31 Princess Street, Manchester, M2 4EW. You can find more information via the Hampton & Vouis website here."

"Soup Kitchen, 31-33 Spear Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, Manchester, M1 1DF - Visit now. Though the bar has been around for a while, and during the day Soup Kitchen is a decent place to go to for a Northern Quarter, communal-style lunch, the recent redevelopment of Soup Kitchen’s basement space has monopolised the city’s truly great music and club gigs of late. As a room, it’s a little bit dingy, but it more than comes to life when there are 150 people stuffed inside, all clamouring for a view of the latest hype band – though venue owners please note: the grim, unisex toilets go a fair way in dulling any musical enjoyment."

"Brunch is the main occasion at this stylish cafe, but with eye-catching plates like the warm griddled peach salad with proscuitto ham (£.7.10) and the green eggs with avocado, green salsa on sourdough (£6.10), it deserves a place in this list. Tucked away on Warwick Street, the little joint also has a hidden terrace in the back - perfect for soaking up the rays on sunny days. 8 Warwick St, Prestwich, Manchester M25 3HN / alltheshapes.co.uk"

"Sure, Prestwich may not rival Ancoats when it comes to food and drink, but there’s a lovely bunch of indie joints that are well worth the 20-minute tram from the city centre. Our favourite is All The Shapes, a casual bar-restaurant-café serving up fun, family-friendly vibes. Their speciality coffee is best enjoyed with a wedge of cake on their pretty, sun-soaked terrace (yes, sometimes the sun shines in Manchester)."

"You're sure to get a good Manchester breakfast at All the Shapes. This spot has been making a name for itself in the brunch scene for a few years now. It's not hard to see why with their extensive menu of delicious foods."
