Best Nightlife in Cowpe Brook

"Mayur Patel’s family has been cooking some of Britain’s best meat-free Gujarati food for several decades at Prashad restaurant in West Yorkshire. The Bundobust co-owner continues that work in this basement canteen on Piccadilly, where next-level chaat, chole saag, tarka dal, vada pav (the Indian veggie burger) and Bundo’s own bhaji butty are served in street food-style pots alongside A1 craft beers. Bundobust’s taps now feature hazy pale Peela and chai porter Chaitro – the first releases from its new brewery on Oxford Road, which should open to the public in late August."

"The home of Indian veggie burgers, paneer tikka and egg burjhis, Bundobust is all about good food. But drinks don't go unnoticed either, with a cracking selection of craft beer for all palates. We're talking cask ales, chai cider and rotational keg lines pouring different kinds of brews."

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"The Brasserie at The Ivy in Manchester do a Saturday and Sunday Brunch (and bank holidays). The restaurant itself is a beautiful art deco inspired space.

"This Bavarian bier palace offers a hearty brunch menu as well as all-day favourites such as steak, schnitzel, currywurst or bratwurst, with fresh unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell served straight from the tank. Breads, pretzels, cruffins and kronuts are baked daily in the in-house bakery."

"Quite possibly Manchester's most magnificent dining room, Grand Pacific is based in the historic, grade II* listed Reform Club at the top of King Street. Once you make your way up the oak staircase, you'll find an Asian-influenced menu of seafood, salads and steaks and a signature cocktail served inside a golden pineapple. For those celebrating during daylight hours, there's a range of high teas to choose from, with the option to upgrade them to include champagne, sparkling wine, Chandon rosé or prosecco infused with tea."

"Decadent interiors are matched with an exotic menu drawing from all corners of the globe at Grand Pacific. From pea and wasabi houmous to soy and treacle cured salmon, this isn't your average Japanese meal; it's a modern take on East Asian flavours."
