"20 Stories is one of Manchester's most romantic rooftop restaurants, with stunning views and equally impressive interiors filled with botanical touches. As for the menu, expect brassiere-style British classics with a focus on fresh and seasonal ingredients."

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"Decked out with kitsch Bollywood paraphernalia, join one of the long, shared dining tables in Bundobust’s basement dining room and prepare for an Indian street food feast. It’s hard to go wrong with the menu - but the Vada Pav burger was recently listed among the best in the world, and it's on the menu for just £5. 61 Piccadilly, Manchester M1 2AG / bundobust.com"

"Within the thriving sector of Spinningfields sits a top choice restaurant for delicious flavours and tantalising tastes. Tattu’s menu offers a modern spin on classic Chinese cuisine, with an impressive array of dishes to choose from. The restaurant itself has a mysterious feel with its low lighting and delicate decor."

"Best Dish: Beef fillet and caramel soy with shitake and asparagus. 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."

"Once we saw pictures from Tattu while researching places to eat in Manchester, we both knew we had to eat there. And boy am I glad we did. We had such an incredible dining experience at Tattu."

"What: Something of an all-rounder, this glamorous Manchester outpost of The Ivy offers menus that take diners through from breakfast till dinner, with brunch and afternoon tea inbetween.

Tuck into one of their signature 'bibimcups', soup noodles or even artisan pizza slices, and once you're full of tasty street food?"
