Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Farnworth

"Manchester’s highest – and possibly finest – restaurant, bar and grill. D&D restaurant group’s flagship Manchester restaurant, 20 Stories was the opening of 2018. Floor to ceiling windows (and a huge, outdoor terrace, the same size as the entire restaurant floor), afford breathtaking views of the city and surrounding countryside, while the menu riffs on Hawksmoor’s luxury steakhouse concept."

"20 Stories are the only restaurant in Manchester where you will be able to see a 360 view of the city. This beautiful restaurant gives you the opportunity to dine in a one of a kind rooftop garden, with the chance to enjoy your food while viewing the city. Along with their award-winning cocktails, 20 stories really set the bar high with their beautiful furniture and pristine restaurant."

"With a recent expansion to a third site on the beautiful Albert Dock, the Maray team continue to evolve and astound. The original Bold Street venue is cosy and uncompromising, with a basement bar for those waiting for a table or just after some tasty nibbles and a drink. The other two venues are a bit more spacious, but in all three venues you’re receiving some of the highest quality food in Liverpool (and outside of London) right now."

"Over the last few months Maray have added some al fresco additions to their Royal Albert Dock location. You can now enjoy their amazing small plates inspired by flavours from around the world in their outdoor, socially distanced seating area. Book a table now to enjoy beautiful food and views!"

"Both Maray restaurants serve a range of vegan meals, with a menu dedicated solely to vegan dishes. Vegan options include falafel, persian bread and muhammara and arabic flatbread and hummus. 91 Bold St, Liverpool L1 4HF and 57 Allerton Rd, Liverpool L18 2DA"

"Nisha Katona was a Barrister for 20 years but always had an obsession with one day bringing her heritage and mother’s cooking to the masses. After giving up her full-time career in 2014 she established Mowgli on Bold Street in Liverpool, introducing the masses to authentic Indian food that was eaten in homes and on the move on a daily basis. It was a revelation, leading to expansion into another restaurant in Liverpool, two in Manchester, and countless others up and down the country (whilst so far avoiding London to prove that a successful chain of restaurants does not need the capital’s recognition)."

"For some super tasty (and a little spicy) Indian dishes look no further than Mowgli. The menu consists of small plates, so your best bet is to go with a load of friends, order everything off the menu and mix and match. The Paneer curry with elephant bread will change your life, trust us."

"Nisha Katona, curry evangelist extraordinaire, started a voyage a few years ago to bring a little bit of India to Liverpool with her restaurant called Mowgli. One chat bomb at a time. To say she was successful in doing so, would be an understatement."

"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."

"Manchester's newest late-night bar and gig venue will open for the first time on Thursday May 20, taking over the old Walkabout site. It will bring a taste of the Deep South with blues music, a menu of barbecue and soul food and a bar packed with bourbons. A live music programme, running seven days a week, will take in everything from 1930s Delta blues, funk, acoustic, rock n roll, roots and southern soul music."

"A once-only London institution, The Blues Kitchen hitched on a soul train straight to Manchester, filling a void in the city’s music scene. Swinging moves, soul nights and gallons of bourbon, the Blues Kitchen will give you life and steal your heart."

"Why: If your breakfast quest is in aid of a hangover cure, rejoice, we think we’ve found the one for you. Fress serves up the usual feel-good plates of nutritious fare like avocado on toast and veggie fry up breakfasts for those who behaved themselves last night, but also goes all in on things like a stack of pancakes with crispy belly pork, spicy siracha maple syrup and fried eggs, as well as rich and smoky homemade baked beans with fresh chilli, coriander, poached eggs and the option to add chorizo (which of course, unless you’re veggie, you always do). Consider that sore head, healed."

"Fress are best-known for doing a banging bottomless brunch – but you should also know about their desserts. From brownies to cookie dough and even a topped croissant, Fress have a fab range of new and exciting sweet treats ready to try. Customer favourites include their Afternoon Tea selection which hosts a whole tier of Fess’s homemade goodies, from their Biscoff cheesecake to a stack of blueberry pancakes."

"🍰 Pancakes, brownies, a selection of freshly made (huge!) cakes, and even mocktail bubble waffles. Whatever you choose, everything is seriously indulgent."

"Housed within an impressive, Grade II listed building, VG&M is known for its collection of the work of wildlife artist, John James Audubon. Once you've checked out the art gallery, the museum has some curiosities worth taking a look at too: the National Pipe Archive and a display of dentures through the ages – not your average collection of artefacts. Opening times: Tuesday-Saturday 10:00-5:00 Victoria Building, 150 Brownlow Hill, Liverpool L3 5RF 5 minute walk from LJMU Mount Pleasant Campus and 20 minute walk from LJMU City Campus."

"Art lovers should also check out The Victoria Gallery and Museum. Located in a spectacular red-brick building at the University of Liverpool, the museum - known locally as the (V&M) - includes large collections of sculptures and ceramics, along with an impressive array of paintings by the likes of Lucian Freud and J."

"Creative, colourful and undoubtedly collectable, whether you’re after keepsakes, candles or cute baby clothes The Nest is home to a showcase of high-quality Liverpool-born Art and Design. The lovely folks you’ll meet behind the counter say they want to offer something a little bit special without it having to be exclusive or expensive, which we think is pretty much everything you need in an indie."

"Discover The Nest on the Royal Albert Dock on your next shopping trip to pick up arts and crafts by local artists. There's everything from prints, ceramics, jewellery, textiles and all sorts of other items for you to explore. View this post on Instagram"

"A delivery service from Cheshire Market stalls is also available - customers can call or email and staff will liaise with traders to make-up orders and arrange delivery."

"Restaurants Middle Eastern. The best thing about this kebab shop is that you don’t need to be hammered to enjoy the grub they’re dishing out. While there’s a table-service restaurant hidden at the back, most don’t get further than the takeaway counter at the front."
