Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Fernilee

"Officially the highest eating and drinking spot in the city, in its short existence 20 Stories has become a Manchester icon thanks to food and drink menus that are able to do justice to its sweeping panoramic views. Think dishes like Manchester Gin beetroot cured Scottish salmon with sour cream and pickled cucumber - and a very Instagrammable Manchester tart cocktail. As far as rooftop terraces go, it ticks all of the boxes and then some with a mixture of cosy fire pits and plenty of cover for cold snaps, as well as uncovered spots to soak up the sun."

"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."

"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."

"The home of Indian veggie burgers, paneer tikka and egg burjhis, Bundobust is all about good food. But drinks don't go unnoticed either, with a cracking selection of craft beer for all palates. We're talking cask ales, chai cider and rotational keg lines pouring different kinds of brews."

"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."

"Luxurious, sultry and we'd go as far as calling this restaurant sexy, is Tattu one of the most unique and attractive restaurants in the city. That's not all though as it's also home to some of the best Chinese food in Manchester thanks to its roster of dim sum and succulent Pan-Asian plates."

"The Ivy has long-reigned as one of the most beautiful restaurants not only in Manchester but across the UK. Offering up three floors in the Manchester venue – each with a completely different experience – the restaurant is unbeatable if you’re after a lively date night, with a fantastic atmosphere flowing from floor to floor. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning, floral brasserie, the second – a decadent, oriental-inspired Asian restaurant, and on the rooftop – a bright, summery floral terrace also serving the varied brasserie menu."

"A very special spot standing proud in the centre of Spinningfields, The Ivy consists of three charming floors – one of which is completely decked out in the most spectacular, Far Eastern-inspired decor. And the nods don’t end there. The menu is completely inspired by Asia, too, taking inspiration from all corners of the continent when curating their menu."

"🍰 There’s a range of luxury desserts to choose from at the Brasserie, including tiramisu, creme brulee and rum baba, but the star of the show is undeniably the chocolate bombe – a melting chocolate dessert with ice cream, a honeycomb centre, and hot salted caramel sauce. I’m drooling just at the thought."

"It sounds like the restaurant set-up of dreams at The Bull & Bear, which has the one-and-only Tom Kerridge, of two-Michelin-starred The Hand and Flowers, at the helm. There’s a frankly ridiculous number of flatscreen TVs playing football 24/7; ignore them by burying your head in mussels swimming in an unctuous marinière or the crispy pig’s head with even crispier celeriac remoulade. Time Out tip: The B&B Full English is well worth a try."

"Housed inside Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville’s new Stock Exchange Hotel, this restaurant from Michelin starred chef Tom Kerridge has already become the talk of the town. The menu here is divided into three stages called, appropriately enough, First, Second and Third, with four to five plates per person recommended."

"Housed in Manchester's elegant former Stock Exchange, Stock matches its smart Edwardian surroundings with a sophisticated menu of inventive southern Italian cooking. Robust, richly flavoured dishes from Neapolitan fish broth to the restaurant's famed…"

"This family run restaurant in Northenden serves authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Signature pho dishes are made from chicken and beef bones left to simmer for hours for rich, deep flavour, and the menu also includes Vietnamese curry with Jasmine rice and north Vietnamese style char-grilled marinated meats."

"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."

"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."

"Breakfast, brunch and lunch, and a delicious cup of coffee to go alongside it, what more could you want?. From open bagels to delicious pancake stacks, this is the perfect place to come for a taste of Brooklyn. Located in the heart of the Northern Quarter and serving only locally roasted coffee, this is definitely one to try."

"19 Cafe Bar, 19 Lever St, Manchester, M1 1BY - Visit now. 19 Cafe Bar is located near the bus stops off the main Northern Quarter drag, instantly making it appealing because: cheaper and less pretentious. We’re big fans of their Breakfast Club offer and Brunch Cocktails."

"19 Cafe Bar has been closed in lockdown 3 but they are reopening especially for Pancake Day – open from 10am and last orders 5:30pm. Hearty stacks of thick American-style pancakes. Toppings include syrup, bacon and fruit, as well as Funfetti Pancakes, Biscoff, Kinder Bueno and Oreo Pancakes."

"There for the Baking lives up to their name: their passion for cakes comes first!. The bakery is spearheaded by Viv – a passionate baker with a sweet tooth!. They are extremely accommodating of special orders, especially when it comes to dietary restrictions."

"Beginning life as a cupcake company, And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon still serves freshly baked, hand decorated desserts, from layered cakes to brownies, in its charming little tearoom. As well as selling delicious treats, this café serves a popular afternoon tea/brunch, from Thursdays to Sundays. A little different from other locations, And the Dish Ran Away With the Spoon requires advanced booking, but you can expect generous portions and typical English scones and cakes for an alternative style brunch."

"An all-time foodie favourite Dish and Spoon is A-class in every way. Their cakes cover all flavours from chocolate honeycomb to toffee apple to raspberry and rose. The buttercream is light and the layers of sponge are… there’s no other way to say it….moist."

"It is a place where you can eat both delicious and quality cakes. Have you tasted the wet cakes?. If the answer is no, you should try it."
