Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Belthorn

"Set in Manchester’s glam Spinningfields area with arguably the best views in the entire city, 20 Stories offers outdoor dining and drinking high up in the sky, with glass surrounding to allow for panoramic views. The rooftop terrace can be accessed all year round with a bar right outside for convenience and glorious views of the surrounding blue skies. On a grey day, enjoy the comfort of a canopy made of two-storey high trees, or gather near a fire pit on an evening for an ultra-cosy vibe."

"Bundobust is many things (craft beer haunt, Indian street food hangout, veggie restaurant) but it sells itself as a ‘beer and Indian joint’. The basement bar is filled with casual, communal tables that encourage interaction with fellow punters, and has a relaxed order-at-the-bar system that keeps the crowd mingling. The food menu is all about vegetarian Indian street food."

"A great choice for Indian street food and craft beers, Bundobust never disappoints. Think okra fries, bhaji butties and paneer tikka washed down with drinks from natural wines and IPAs to quirky cocktails."

Not strictly Chinese, but Tattu does have a mod-Chinese slant inspired by the strong conceptual restaurants found on America's west coast. Think sleek black lacquered furnishings and private booths around a giant cherry blossom tree."

"Located in the heart of Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields only opened in November 2018, but is already a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a little glamour.

There are also three private dining rooms - The Dalton, The Geisha Room and The Skylight Terrace."

"The much-loved Wheatley Arms (which was saved from demolition by local residents) is a dog-friendly pub with rooms near the pretty Yorkshire spa town of Ilkley. The hotel opened in the mid-19th century as a coach house to serve the new Ben Rhydding Hydropathic Centre (since demolished), and the gabled, stone-built hotel has a homely, lived-in feel with big bay windows, Inglenook fireplaces and reupholstered furniture picked up at auctions. The hotel’s 12 individually designed rooms (a mix of traditional and more modern décor) are arranged over three floors and feature bold patterned wallpaper, sleigh beds and glass chandeliers."

"With good service and fair prices, the New Emperor is a restaurant for those looking for different Chinese banquet options. It’s always full, and often with Chinese expats – a sure-fire nod to the authenticity of the food. The Dim Sum is great, as are the pork buns and the beef brisket noodles."

"Before he founded the Scout Movement, Robert Baden-Powell set up the Salford Lads’ Club in Ordsall in 1903. The idea behind clubs like these was to keep young boys in deprived areas out of trouble, and channel their energy into constructive pursuits and sport. The list of former members here is illustrious and includes the actor Albert Finney, the Busby Babe Eddie Colman and guitarist Graham Nash of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash."
