Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Scholes

"Featuring sweeping views of the city and an equally mesmerising cocktail menu, 20 Stories’ serene sanctuary in the sky is the perfect place to unwind. Book a table on the rooftop garden terrace for 2 hours and expect a truly magical experience as you tuck into either the a la carte, brunch or terrace menu. If you’d like to visit for just drinks, seats are on a first come first served basis, with the door held once capacity has been met."

"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."

"20 Stories has been taking bookings ahead of reopening, but has also made the decision to hold tables back for walk-in services at its cocktail terrace from this week, so you can find menus, opening times and more information via the website here."

"Bundobust is another one of these underdogs which is completely turning the concept of ‘fine cuisine’ entirely on its head. No longer does good food feel the need to be served on white table clothes on fine Bone China and washed down with a 2005 Saint Emilion Grand Cru. Nowhere teaches us this lesson better than Bundobust with its 100% vegetarian Indian street food served in paper trays, paper cups and with as much craft beer as you can pour down your gullet."

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"A vegetarian and predominantly gluten-free restaurant, Bundobust is serving some of Manchester's best cheap eats. For just £6, you can munch on a bhaji butty, vada pav veggie burger and raghda pethis mushy pea cakes, with a wide choice of cocktails to top it off."

"Located in Spinningfields, Tattu is a glamorous Chinese restaurant that fits right in with the contemporary, classy businesses of the area. With mood lighting and a unique interior design that features trees amongst other things, this is a romantic looking spot to enjoy some great food. The menu at Tattu combines the traditional Chinese food you’ve come to know and love with a fine dining experience, also incorporating exciting, unique dishes for those looking to try something new."

"We already know that Tattu is a swoon-worthy date night bar in Manchester, but did you know this place serves a quirky cocktail featuring a mini cherry blossom tree inside it?. Sip on this and plenty of other unique mixes while grazing on Pan-Asian plates for the ultimate experience."

"Offering the double whammy of stunning surroundings and a delicious menu, Tattu is a top restaurant in Manchester for vegetarians. Enjoy selection of modern Chinese cuisine, including shiitake bao, vegetarian chicken with black bean sauce and OK glazed tempeh."

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"The Ivy Spinningfields is ago-to quirky restaurant if you're after a night of sophisticated dining in a luxurious setting. With its patterned interiors, emerald green bar and picture perfect rooftop terrace, the venue serves a brasserie-style menu with handcrafted cocktails to match."

"From the decadent jade floor to the mouthwatering menu, The Ivy's Asian restaurant is bringing you a real taste from the East. Expect dishes from 'raw & cured' to 'dumplings & bao' paired with a huge selection of wines and a carefully curated cocktail menu."

"Wing’s Restaurant started in 2004 by restaurateur Wing-Shing Chu the restaurant has a contemporary, elegant and relaxed atmosphere. Featured consistently in the Michelin guide, it offers a fine dining experience all delivered with exceptional service. Their head chef and his skilled team use classical and modern techniques to create contemporary Cantonese cuisine and dim sum."

"Choose from fresh-baked scones, clotted cream, strawberry jam, savouries, immaculate sandwiches and pastries. All served with exquisite teas or coffees."
