Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Grappenhall

"Boasting the title of Manchester's highest restaurant, D&D's 20 Stories is worth a visit for the views alone. From its large roof terrace, diners can see right the way across Manchester's skyline to the Peak District - and it's planning to open for business on April 12. Bookings are available to dine on the terrace, with some limited walk-up spots reserved for people just wanting drinks."

"20 Stories rooftop terrace is famous across the city for its stunning 360 ° views of Manchester’s skyline. The perfect spot for a girls night out, the terrace restaurant is open for bookings for food from 12th April, with walk-ins if you just fancy a drink. Oh Manchester 😍 #ILoveMcrpic.twitter.com/0mtxlqNrTy"

"Reopening up their wooden booths from April 12, Maray makes for the perfect social distancing spot for meeting up with friends and family this spring and summer. They take cosy to the next level, too, with vines climbing the sides of the booths, as well as heaters in preparation for the unpredictable British weather. This cosy, outdoor set up is only available at their Albert Dock branch."

"With long communal tables, industrial décor and an exciting menu, Maray is located in the centre of Liverpool and is the ideal spot for a casual lunch or dinner. This restaurant is all about sharing plates so you can try a bit of everything. Serving up a mix of cuisines from Middle Eastern to British, expect to find the likes of lamb koftas, falafel and halloumi on the main menu."

"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."

"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."

"Chaophraya is known for having the wow factor, and thankfully the food matches the atmosphere and décor. While being surrounded by Thai statues, patterns and furnishing you can enjoy the likes of chicken Thai tacos, tom-yum soup, chicken pad thai and of course green and red curries with your choice of meat or fish."

"The Ferry , formerly know as the Egremont Ferry, is a refurbished pub. It serves pub lunchtime and evening meals. It has all the typical features you’d expect from a pub: real ale, live music, sports TV and a beer garden but it has one thing that would surprise you… a amazing view of the River Mersey."

"Ice Shack is an all-vegan dessert parlour that offers a nice treat for all people that have sweet tooth but are also on a special diet. Established in 2016 and rooted for a family’s love of desserts, they make way to share their enthusiasm and love with other people particular those under a vegan diet. Offering 0% dairy, they use a range of alternatives including truffles to offer a sweet and nice treat."

"From Wednesday May 19, the stunning Whitworth gallery will be partially reopen to the public, with a film screening of Imran Perretta: the destructors on display. The cafe will be back open too, but the full gallery will be up and running again by July 1, in time for its MIF21 summer exhibition. Plan your visit at whitworth.manchester.ac.uk/visit."

"Organised by the Ashmolean Museum, which holds a world class collection of over 200 prints made by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, it will present the artist as an unrivalled storyteller through a selection of around 50 outstanding prints, dating from 1630 to the late 1650s. Widely hailed as the greatest painter of the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt was also one of the most innovative and experimental printmakers of the 17th century, and the works displayed at the Lady Lever will cover a varied selection of subjects including intense self-portraits, atmospheric landscapes, intimate family portraits, biblical stories and confronting nude studies. June 1 to September 15, 2019"

"Yes, we know, it's not strictly Liverpool, but it is well worth the short train journey across the river. For visitors to the Lady Lever, its location in the picturesque model-village of Port Sunlight will make for a pleasing, if slightly uncanny, addition to the experience. Both the village and the gallery itself are a legacy of the benevolence of English industrialist William Hesketh Lever, who wanted to share his collection with the public, even personally selecting works for display."
