Best Gelato in Borough Arcade

"You’ve probably seen the chic and trendy “ice cream van for the grown-ups. This dessert wagon is mainly to be found after dark, when the children are safe in bed, roaming the streets of south Manchester.”. And now luckily for us they have a permanent residence in the Northern Quarter, on the first floor Afflecks Palace."

"Products sourced from local producers, Ginger’s is on the first floor of Afflecks which means it’s already cool – and that’s before trying the ice cream. Like Gino’s, they have loads of stuff to suit your ice cream needs including dairy-free ice cream. Be sure to try the Chorlton Crack."

"It was presented in a cute little glass and the menu stated it was ‘made at kitchens in Manchester.’ It definitely tasted home made and although it was nice, it was so milky that the flavour was overpowered. This was also the most expensive one."

"Formerly known as William Sicilian, Sicilian NQ is the first and only true Sicilian restaurant in Manchester – offering up hearty, traditional dishes that aim to encapsulate the culture of Sicily. Think Sicilian wines and beers, antipasti, pasta, cannoli and even lovely traditional Italian desserts that go down extremely well with a good old cup of coffee. Sicilian NQ, 14 Turner St, M4 1DZ."

"An abundance of choice in flavour is available to have in a cone, on waffles, or on a cake of your own choosing. If you ever head to gelato passion, make sure you try out their peanut butter cake with raspberry sorbet. Kind of like a PB&J sandwich deconstructed into ice cream!"

"You can’t write about the top 10 places for anything in Sheffield and not mention somewhere on Eccy (Ecclesall) Road. The Amaro lounge is a chain, but their quirky interior almost makes it feel like you’re in your own living room. There are plenty of options to suit all dietary needs, including gluten-free, and they have quite a creative brunch menu."

"Another Instagrammable spot in Manchester that is located in the heart of the Northern Quarter is Evelyn’s. Evelyn’s is a perfect place for brunch and it has a wide variety of dishes with a twist and a big plant-based section. I don’t know if I already told you in the previous posts, but Manchester is actually a vegetarian capital of the UK, so if you’re a vegan or a vegetarian, you will love going out in Manchester!"

"Breakfast with a twist, Evelyn’s serves menus for every meal in their all-day neighbourhood restaurant. The chefs take full advantage of the spot’s global influences, in particular Asian, infusing things like Kimchi and tandoori with American-style dishes. The vibrant spot is incredibly pretty, with whitewashed wood and a whole lotta plants decorating every free bit of wall space."

"Evelyn’s was the first restaurant Lisa and I checked out once we landed in Manchester. It is such a cute spot to enjoy a meal, a cocktail or a cup of coffee. It has a calm and comfortable atmosphere and we were surrounded by green plants everywhere, which we loved."

"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."

"There’s something for all ages at Swithens Farm in Rothwell. They have an open farm the kids will love from Tuesday to Sunday, featuring the likes of cows, pigs, rabbits, ducks, geese and two irresistibly cute micro pigs called Molly and Millie. Alongside the animals, they also have a play barn or those up to the age of 11."

"Salford Cathedral is situated on Chapel Street in the City of Salford, which sits opposite Manchester city centre on the west bank of the River Irwell. The City of Salford covers a large swathe of western Greater Manchester, with its centre adjacent to Manchester’s. Chapel Street, a long west to east boulevard connecting the cathedral with Salford Central rail station, was the first street in the world to be illuminated entirely by gas light."

"The seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salford is among the largest Catholic places of worship in the North of England. The diocese, one of the first to be founded in England since the Reformation 300 years earlier, was set up in 1850 while the building was completed in 1848. The architect was Matthew Ellison Hadfield, who designed several Roman Catholic churches in the mid-19th century, all in the Gothic Revival style."

"Address: 67 Division Street, Sheffield City Centre, Sheffield, S1 4GE. Phone number: 0114 303 4290. Price: From £20 per person"

"Why: All wood and glass and petrol-blue leather, Volta brings a good deal of cool to Manchester’s breakfast scene, all before you’ve even got to the menu. Once you have the food offering in your hands you’ll find things that fit with the setting, like Serrano ham, avocado and poached eggs, as well as lamb shawarma hash with pickles and a poached egg. Bread here is made by the guys at Trove Bakery, featured on the list above, so even if you go for the very simplest iteration of eggs on toast you can guarantee robust, chewy bread with real flavour."

"Volta is owned by Luke ‘Unabomber’ Cowdrey and Justin Crawford – the DJ-restauranteur duo behind Chorlton’s Electrik bar, the Electrik Chair club night, and Refuge by Volta in Manchester city centre’s Kimpton Clocktower Hotel."
