Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Birchwood

"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.

"Featuring sweeping views of the city and an equally mesmerising cocktail menu, 20 Stories’ serene sanctuary in the sky is the perfect place to unwind. Book a table on the rooftop garden terrace for 2 hours and expect a truly magical experience as you tuck into either the a la carte, brunch or terrace menu. If you’d like to visit for just drinks, seats are on a first come first served basis, with the door held once capacity has been met."

"When we wanted to enjoy some cocktails at a rooftop bar one night, some quick research had us landing on 20 Stories. It turned out to be a great decision – 20 Stories was a beautiful oasis of a restaurant, and its rooftop terrace had the greatestview of Manchester. The terrace was like lounge with heating lamps, a few bungalows and we had such a fun time sitting out there in the skies."

"Doing lots of little things right” is a definition of perfection – and this simple seafood restaurant in Chorlton is just that. The kitchen’s Essa grill is masterfully handled by co-owner (and former Lead Station chef) Recep Canliisik, who churns out char-grilled whole squid and seabream, Thai-spiced monkfish tail and possibly the best calamari in the UK."

"This cute little neighbourhood restaurant in Chorlton specialises in super-fresh seafood and are known for grilling whole fish in their charcoal oven. The wine list is also excellent. Menus change weekly depending on what is fresh and seasonal but you can view samples on their website to get an idea."

"A post shared by Hawksmoor Manchester (@hawksmoormanchester). If it’s fine dining your after for your first Sunday roast in the city once restrictions lift, then you really need look no further than Hawksmoor Manchester, where a slow-roast rump or prime rib for up to three people comes complete with beef dripping roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, greens, roasted shallots and lashings of bone marrow and onion gravy. There’s also a range of puddings to finish off with as well."

"There is something about Hawksmoor that taps into a primal part of your being that is so unbelievably satisfying, and that thing is unadulterated beef. The Manchester Hawksmoor is the first of its kind outside of London and is housed in a late-Victorian courthouse which is full of traditional charm. Do not let the stunning interior distract you from the fantastic food, however."

"The award-winning steakhouse serves high-grade cuts of dry-aged beef, as well as, sustainably sourced seafood and world-class cocktails. Sip on a Tropical Cobbler and Champagne Charlie or keep it classic with a glass of wine."
