Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Halton

"20 Stories, No. 1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, Manchester, M3 3EB - Visit now. The new kid on the terrace bar block is 20 Stories – Aiden Byrne’s restaurant and bar at No 1 Spinningfields. A large proportion of this sky-high venue is dedicated to its outdoor terrace, which offers panoramic views of the city from an enviable 19th-storey setting."

"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."

"No 1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 3EB. Sky high 20 Stories is the first Manchester project from D&D London. The glamorous restaurant and casual grill offer distinct menus, alongside a cocktail bar and roof terrace boasting 360-degree views of the city."

"One of Liverpool’s most popular restaurants and cocktail bars, Maray, is set to open its third site this summer at the iconic Royal Albert Dock Liverpool. The company’s expansion follows the success of its existing Middle Eastern-inspired restaurants, on Bold Street, Liverpool city centre and Allerton Road in the south of the city. The new Maray will join an exciting food and drink line-up currently taking shape at the Royal Albert Dock, which has seen a number of independent operators open over the past year."

"If you’ve been missing your shawarma wraps and spicy dishes dearly, fear not. Maray is the spot for you. Throw in some disco cauliflower (its coated in harissa, tahini, chermoula, almonds, pomegranate seeds, parsley and paprika), bhajis and harissa buttermilk chicken for sides and there you have some cracking lockdown grub available to ease you through the boredom."

"Nisha Katona has done lots for Liverpool’s restaurant scene; a frequent guest on various television cooking shows, she is also a tireless promoter of the city’s culinary assets at foodie events across the region and beyond. Perhaps her most appreciated contribution to the city though is Bold Street’s Mowgli, the first Indian street food eatery in Liverpool and an instant hit with foodies on Merseyside. The simple but tasty dishes justify the restaurant’s popularity and it’s no surprise that new sister restaurants have opened up on Water Street in Liverpool and over in Manchester."

"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."

"Also located on Bold Street, Mowgli serves authentic Indian street food at a small price. Here you can have a meal from £4.50. Known for its relaxed atmosphere, it’s a favourite for many in Liverpool."

"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 joint Bundobust will be serving special dosas all week, including its year-round classic masala dosa (rice pancakes filled with cauliflower and potato). There's a sweet special of a mango and rose dosa that's served with a sweet cardamom yoghurt, salted mango and pomegranate seeds. The sweet dosa is available until March 1 for £5, or today you can get the savoury and sweet dosa in a combo deal for £10."

The latter goes by the name of Love Lane Brewery and houses a family of beers and gins under one roof, designed to keep the city’s rich brewing heritage alive."

"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"

"St Luke’s which is popularly known as the bombed-out church was destroyed during World War II. It has no ceiling and plants are growing inside. You and your loved one can find tranquility in the city center there. It also serves as a memorial to the people who lost their lives during the world war."

"More commonly known as 'the bombed out church' St Luke’s was destroyed during the Blitz of World War II. With no ceiling, and plants now growing inside, it is a real place of tranquility in the centre of the city and serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives during the war."
