Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Stockton Heath

"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."

"Situated on the 19th floor of No.1 Spinningfields, 20 Stories is a glamorous restaurant, lively bar and expansive rooftop terrace with unparallelled 360-degree views of the Manchester skyline. 20 Stories serves Modern British menus that celebrate local produce, while the cocktail list pays homage to the vast array of cultures that make Manchester the diverse city it is today."

"Maray blazed a trail with their outdoor booths at the Albert Dock earlier this year. They are super-popular so if you want to enjoy an alfresco falafel fix you’ll need to book one pretty sharpish. There can’t be many better settings for an outdoor lunch or dinner and the seasonal crispy sprouts are worth the trip alone."

"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!"

"You’ll be able to enjoy Maray’s beautiful Middle Eastern inspired menu at three outdoor venues across the city. From Bold Street to Royal Albert Dock and Allerton Road all three venues are perfect locations for lunch and a view. View this post on Instagram"

"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. They emphasise mixing and matching up smaller dishes; particular highlights fr us would be their signature Yoghurt Chat Bombs, the Gunpowder chicken and the Mowgli Chip Buttie (with turmeric fries). Their take on a traditional Goan fish curry is also nothing short of mind blowing."

"A dish that makes you really sit up and take notice, Mowgli's Nisha Katona credits her mother for inspiring this pimped-up Indian delight. Green chilli dressing, coriander and Indian pickle transform a humble British staple into something quite special at Mowgli on Bold Street."

"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."

"Look no further than Koop – one of the Bold Street restaurants re-imagining our favourite foods to great success. Self-identifying as ‘gastrojunk’, Koop upgrades fast food into a tantalizing taste experience, with reinvented fried chicken, burgers, hotdogs and shakes. Whether you’re craving peri peri on the bone or a Mexican burger topped with jalapenos, guacamole and chipotle mayo, this is your fast food dream on steroids."

"Grindsmith Deansgate, 231 - 233 Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4EN - Visit now. There are now three Grindsmiths – one is inside a specially-created eco pod in Greengate Square, not far from Manchester Cathedral, there’s a branch over at Media City and then this one, inside a spacious arch adjacent to the Great Northern Warehouse on Deansgate. All serve excellent coffee."

"And if you’ve wandered on to Greengate Square recently (it’s technically Salford, but it’s so close enough to the city centre to be a part of it) Grindsmith has appeared in its funky looking hut, paid for through crowdsourcing website Kickstarter. An independent coffee shop paid for by fans of independent coffee shops. That’s about as close to a market driving demand as you can get."

"Grindsmith serve flawless coffee from two sites in the city centre, and one in Media City. The original pod on Greengate Square is tiny, but that doesn't stop them knocking out some serious brews. Their coffee shops on Deansgate and Media City are more roomy, with space to sit and enjoy a light lunch."

"Formerly known as William Sicilian, Sicilian NQ is the first and only true Sicilian restaurant in Manchester – offering up hearty, traditional dishes that aim to encapsulate the culture of Sicily. Think Sicilian wines and beers, antipasti, pasta, cannoli and even lovely traditional Italian desserts that go down extremely well with a good old cup of coffee. Sicilian NQ, 14 Turner St, M4 1DZ."

"Formerly known as William Sicilian Street Food, this authentic Sicilian restaurant popped up in the Northern Quarter earlier this year – renamed and reworked as Sicilian NQ. The lovely little restaurant hones in on the idyllic region’s homely food, bringing dishes such as arancini, cannoli, cipollini, pasta and more to our rainy city. Sicilian NQ, 14 Turner St, M4 1DZ."

"Located just on the outskirts of city centre, the Artichoke is situated on the picturesque canals that run all about the area. A great vegan-friendly restaurant in Chester, the Artichoke has amazing hummus + flatbread, vegan pizza, spiced sweet potatoes, and more!. Not to mention, they’re all priced ridiculously good for Chester (which is a not-so-cheap city)."

"With its wine rack walls, elegant leather seats and its warm, homely vibe,. Veeno is an absolute gift. Offering a stylish wine lounge, tasting sessions and a wide variety of only the finest wines, all of them made in the family vineyard in Sicily."

"Set in the heart of Chester on Northgate Street, Veeno is a laidback Italian wine bar. Wine bottles line the walls, and a menu of sharing boards, panini and salads is served."

"Located in the basement space once inhabited by The Circle Club, Be At One has been quietly gaining a reputation as the coolest hidden gem in town since launching here in 2016. The focus is on cocktails, and reviewers love the “fun ambience”. Comments include: “If you’re looking for a trendy cocktail bar with reasonable prices this is the place to go”, “great vibe, great music, great staff and 150 cocktails to choose from!"
