Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Cresswell Close

"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."

"Towering above the city, 20 Stories is one amazing date night restaurant in Manchester. If you're avoiding meat?. Scan through the veggie and vegan plates, which include roast butternut squash, vegetable fricassee and a whole load of tasty sides."

"Occupying the 19th-floor rooftop of No.1 Spinningfields, 20 Stories is the first Manchester project from the D&D London restaurant group, which alr ..." Read our full review"

"Another #MeatFreeMonday venue, offering a vast range of dishes to chose from!. From 5pm every Monday you can choose any 4 vegetarian orvegan dishes from the menu (including any specials) to share for just £20. You can find Maray in the city centre on Bold Street and Allerton road."

"Whether you fancy falafel sharer boards and aubergine shawarma or came for the skillet pie on the Sunday roast menu, Maray has something for all occasions?. Did we mention that there's a special vegan selection too?. Think mezzo, large plates and more."

"The story behind this restaurant is fantastic, as is the food, that’s why Mowgli is our number one destination for street food in Liverpool. Started by Nisha Katona after she left her job as a barrister to pursue her dream of bringing the culture and food with her from her home country of India to Liverpool Mowgli has gone from strength to strength. In a short space of time Mowgli was opened and had gained worldwide success as the first Indian street food restaurant in Liverpool."

"It’s become such a major part of Liverpool’s culinary identity it is strange to think that Mowgli has only been around for five years or so. Mowgli is all about how Indians eat at home and on their streets, serving healthy fresh food. In addition, the Mowgli Trust has raised nearly three quarters of a million pounds so far, donating to charities including Claire House children’s hospice and The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity."

"What to expect: Delicious Indian small plates featuring the Mowgli Chip Butty. For flavoursome vegetarian dishes that you won’t forget anytime soon, a visit to Mowgli Street Food is a must. Perfectly prepared to bring you just the right amount, choose from dishes including the tantalising Yoghurt Chat Bombs, Treacle Tamarind Fries and of course Mowgli’s delicious Chip Butty."

"This Indian eatery first opened in Leeds but has now expanded to become a chain of three, including one branch located in Manchester’s Piccadilly. Hidden down a set of stairs in a basement off an unassuming city centre street, this place might be hard to find, but it’s worth searching for. Most dishes are vegan, including the newly launched for 2020 vada pav burger, which consists of a deep-fried mashed potato ball, red and green chutneys and deep-fried (spicy) green chilli, all in a vegan-friendly bun."

"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."

"Indian street-food specialists Bundobust have ventured across The Pennines to open this spacious Piccadilly branch. Inside, seating is canteen-style with the enticing menu of snacks and sharing plates being equally informal, and entirely vegetarian too."

"Ask any Mancunian music fan about Gorilla and The Deaf Institute, and they’ll only tell you good things. These city centre stalwarts are two of the most historic and iconic music venues in Manchester, and although they may have gone through a well-documented rocky patch due to the COVID pandemic last year, they are having a new lease of life in 2021 with a packed calendar of events and so much to get stuck into."

"[Re](https://quisine.quandoo.co.uk/guide/best-vegan-restaurants-manchester/attachment/971356_650116488336102_1475760188_n/). The Deaf Institute definitely isn’t where you’d look for a solid vegan menu. It’s famous for its music, after all."

"Originally a gentleman’s club, the Racquet Club Hotel provides elegant Victorian decor, wonderfully traditional while simultaneously trendy and stylish. A small family-run hotel, this establishment provides a generous variety of facilities for guests, such as an award-winning fine dining restaurant, a gym and two squash courts. This historic building dating back to the 1800s is the perfect place for guests who are hoping for an authentic and relaxing experience."

"Creaky floorboards, mismatched antique furnishings and unstuffy service sets the Racquet Club apart. Once a private gentlemen's club, the hotel is a refreshing antidote to the clinical stylings of some of the city's self-styled urban hotels. The rooms (of which there are eight) have individual charm, the artwork is local, and guests can use the hotel's gym and squash courts (should you be travelling with a racquet)."

"Keep an eye out for this one - if you blink you might miss it. The French restaurant can be found in Liverpool’s Cavern Quarter near Mathew Street and serves up authentic French food in a bistro style. The menu changes weekly to make most of the seasonal produce available, so you can go as many times as you’d like and never tire of the menu."

"Daily tours guide you through the lives of Jewish Mancunians in 1912. Guest exhibitions focus not only on the Jewish community but also the wealth of ethnic diversity in industrial Manchester. The only Jewish Museum outside of London, it allows you to explore the life, culture and contributions of the Jewish community to the city."

"The Manchester Jewish Museum is the only Jewish museum you will find out of London. The Victorian building is Grade II listed and was built in 1874. It is, therefore, the oldest synagogue in Manchester."

"From April 17, Tate Liverpool's cafe will be opening on weekends only. Its menus change seasonally and the venue offers locally sourced ingredients. All dishes are made fresh from scratch on the premises."

"This museum focuses chiefly on the human cost of war in the 20th and 21st centuries. From Feb 6–June 13 it will exhibit the work of and personal memorabilia of war photographer Don McCullin. Other exhibitions include images by Sean Sutton, an exploration of the life of Odette Hallowes, the heroine of World War Two, and a photographic display marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall."

"Contact Theatre will be heading out across Manchester this summer for a series of outdoor performances. Contact is an Oxford Road theatre and performing arts venue creating and producing its own shows, as well as hosting tours from the world’s best theatre companies. Contact will be heading out across the city this summer, delivering a series of outdoor performances before its building reopens to the public in September 2021."
