Bold Street Restaurants Guide
"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."
"Ginger’s Comfort Emporium – A great place to sit and enjoy a coffee and some great ice cream. Heroes Café – Homemade burgers, pies, soup, lasagne, chilli, curries and many more delicious dishes. They are also expanding selection of their Vegan dishes."
"Gino’s is the newbie on Market Street, a small parlour that channels Italy from the music to the ingredients used in the gelato that’s made fresh every day. Tuck into the smooth Ferrero Rocher or the refreshing classic strawberry gelato – or any of the fabulous flavours – in a tub, cone, on a waffle, in a milkshake or even on a pancake."
"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."
"Formerly known as William Sicilian Street Food, this authentic Sicilian restaurant popped up in the Northern Quarter earlier this year – renamed and reworked as Sicilian NQ. The lovely little restaurant hones in on the idyllic region’s homely food, bringing dishes such as arancini, cannoli, cipollini, pasta and more to our rainy city. Sicilian NQ, 14 Turner St, M4 1DZ."
"Situated inside the largest LUSH shop in the world, LUSH Liverpool Spa shares a venue with four floors of gorgeous products, a coffee shop, a perfume lab, and even a florist. It’s safe to say that the minute you step inside, LUSH will transport you away from the hustle and bustle of the high street just outside. Enter true tranquillity…"
"Anyone following their nose down Church Street won’t need to be told that Lush is at home there, and what a home it is – the world’s biggest, crammed with bath bombs (there’s actually room for 9 million!) and other fabulous cosmetic creations. There’s a HairLab and Spa too for extra indulgence. Visit their website here."
"Lush Spa Liverpool offers visitors the chance to spend a few hours away from the bustle of Whitechapel. One of eight locations across Britain, the spa is tucked away above the shop and fitted out like a cosy farmhouse. Treatments range from the “Validation” facial to the full body signature “Synaesthesia” treatment."
"Unit 3c Wing Yip Business Centre, Cassidy Close, Manchester M4 5HU. The massages at the Youth Sanctuary include hot stone, Swedish and Thai. The staff are fully trained in techniques and they can offer both classic and contemporary treatments for men and women."
"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dolls’ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."
"When the big city gets too big and the bright lights too blinding, we have the perfect solution. Find your sanctuary at Malmaison Manchester Spa. Whether you want to get glammed up and gorgeous for your big night out or melt away that tension after a hard week at work, this place is your perfect spa escape."
"A secret little hideaway where you can escape and find harmony and balance for both body and mind. Please note that the spa will remain closed until October 2021. For Further Information and To Book A Spa Day"

"No trip to Liverpool would be complete without a visit to the Cavern Club area where the Beatles started out. restaurant is in that very area and is located in the Grade II-listed building of the award- winning Hard Days Night hotel. are the running theme of both the hotel and restaurant."
"Tucked away on Hanover Street, this Scandi style café serves up an epic breakfast platter available in Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian or regular!.

If you prefer a sweet dish you can opt for their legendary crepes and throw toppings such as berry compote and dulche de leche in there too!"
"Malmo Mat is a breakfast & brunch restaurant on Hanover Street. I’d walked past a thousand times before it even registered that it sold coffee. With a lush interior of wood and light seating, the menu here is so reasonably priced and fresh and as delicious as you’d expect from a Swedish-style eatery."
