Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Preston Brook

"D&D London group’s all-day restaurant, bar and grill, 20 Stories, on the 19th floor of the No1 Spinningfields building in central Manchester. The modern British menu in the main restaurant showcases local produce, with the majority sourced within a 50-mile radius of the city. Herdwick lamb sits on potato gnocchi and chanterelle mushrooms, poached John Dory is served with a smart langoustine velouté and white asparagus, and butter-poached salsify is topped with burnt leeks and parsnip purée."

"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."

"Perched on top of the shining glass beacon that is No. 1 Spinningfields, 20 Stories is a rooftop restaurant, grill, cocktail bar and rooftop terrace. And one of Manchester's true hot-spots. Equipped with real trees and comfy lounge furniture, the 20 Stories terrace comes with some amazing 360-degree views over the city skyline."

"For small plates and spot-on cocktails, pay a visit to Maray on Bold Street. The buzzing vibe starts here in the afternoon and carries on well into the evening, as friends cosy up in the intimate restaurant digging into burrata, roasted cauliflower with pomegranate and lamb koftas. Arrive early for a seat at the bar and order the Whip Royale – a concoction of cucumber gin, prosecco and fragrant lavender, or keep it classic with a gin and tonic, each perfectly paired with a garnish."

"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!"

"From the Indian streets to a restaurant on Bold Street, Mowgli brings the taste of Indian street food to the city. According to their website, “Mowgli is not about the intimate, hushed dining experience. It is about the smash and grab zing of healthy, light, virtuosic herbs and spices.” With simple wood tables, bare brick walls and birdcage lights, Mowgli is the perfect place for a chilled breakfast, lunch or dinner with a separate vegan menu perfect for you."

"Mowgli prides itself on showing the truth about how Indians eat at home and in the street. A particular highlight would be the restaurant’s signature Yoghurt Chat Bombs for an explosion of taste. This restaurant emphasises mixing and matching up smaller dishes; a far cry from traditional Indian curry houses."

"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."

"This vegetarian Indian street food restaurant has plenty of options for vegans, such as onion and kale bhajis, vegan Vada Pav and Tarka Dhal. Available to order on Deliveroo from the Northern Quarter restaurant."

"A great choice for Indian street food and craft beers, Bundobust never disappoints. Think okra fries, bhaji butties and paneer tikka washed down with drinks from natural wines and IPAs to quirky cocktails."

"PicNic is a charming splash of Mediterranean in the Chester bar scene. As well as stocking your favourite drinks, PicNic also serves Spanish beers and cocktails that you can’t get anywhere else. But if you find yourself developing a rumbly belly, the food here truly is spectacular."

"If you were worried about not being able to find canal-side dining in Manchester, never fear, we’ve found another!. Barca offers lovely views of the canal from Catalan Square, with a new extra-large barbecue luxury seating. In addition to the high-quality food and drink, they’ve also been known to host live music outside, so you may never leave."

"In the same location as The Lost Cat but heading underground is a brand new late-night bar, the 'crazy cousin' of Bunny Jackson's Juke Joint across town. The dive bar will sling out bourbons and beer as well as burgers from Triple B upstairs - which will arrive through a plastic chute into the basement. The site was previously a boutique gym but has now been given an all-American makeover."

"A dive bar in the NQ will be Bunny Jackson’s 2nd bar in town, the other at First StreetWhere. 68 Oldham St, Manchester M4 1LEWho."

"Set in the heart of Spinningfields, The Lawn Club is maximising its outside space, with bookings now available for their lawn houses, pods and terrace. With some of Manchester’s best cocktails and an atmosphere to match, you don’t want to miss it. Reopening soon… 🥂 pic.twitter.com/9LqDGTeryq"

"Located on the sunny lawns of Hardman Square, The Lawn Club is a swish al fresco dining spot, perfect for an after-work drink or weekend lunch. Boasting a covered pergola area as well as private pods, it's the ultimate Spinningfields hangout."

"After expanding its outdoor seating area ahead of reopening, The Lawn Club has made the decision to allow walk-ins from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information on the website here."

"Harry Ramsden's serve the same great quality fish and chips today that they have been since 1928. The brand was established 80 years ago, when Harry Rams ..."

"Built over nearly 500 years from the 11th to the 16th century, Chester Cathedral has traces of every Medieval English architectural style, from Norman Romanesque to Perpendicular Gothic. The oldest parts of the cathedral are in the north transept, which has a semi-circular Romanesque arch, while the northwest tower also has 11th-century origins. Here there’s a beautiful baptismal font, fashioned from black marble and dating to 1697."

"Chester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral built on Anglo-Saxon foundations dating back to the year 907. Since then it has gradually been extended and rebuilt three times, the most lasting design from 1250 being what we see today. For the first 530 years it was known as Saint Werburgh's Abbey after the remains of the Saint it housed."
