"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"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."

"The Alpine menu will be offering savoury crepes for one day only, with two different fillings to choose from. You can either go for the black forest ham and cheese, or a sweet potato and spinach filling, both drenched in a rich cheese sauce. There is also a sweet option available - filled with chocolate praline and preserved blood orange slices."

A vegetarian / vegan roast option is also available, alongside extensive drinks and dessert menus."

"An eclectic range of small and large plates designed for sharing.Why go?.

What's more, the setting is glorious, one of the most stunning interiors in the city."

"It’s safe to say expectations are low when you have to enter a restaurant via a metal staircase in a takeaway that’s surrounded by tens of nightclubs and bars. While Ethiopian restaurant Habesha certainly is a little rustic, once you’ve grabbed yourself a bottle of St. George (an Ethiopian beer), you’ll soon feel right at home. The richly spiced stews (meat or veg) served on gluten-free injera bread are excellent."

"There’s a no-fuss vibe at Habesha Manchester which serves authentic Ethiopian food. To get there you have to climb a spiral staircase inside a fried chicken shop but fear not, it’s all part of the experience. There are no desserts or starters, just £2 Ethiopian beers and £7 flatbreads piled with a choice of beef, chicken, lamb or veg curry."

"Hidden above a kebab shop near Canal Street is not the usual place to find a great dining spot, but you’ve got it in Habesha. This Ethiopian restaurant is cheap, friendly and filling. Spicy stews are serve on a traditional shared injera (like a giant sourdough flatbread), which diners then use to scoop up sauces with their hands."

"23/05/2021: A very warm welcome at La Boheme at lunchtime today. The staff were very warm and courteous and the food divine as always. I can not speak highly enough of this lovely French restaurant."

"Salford Cathedral is situated on Chapel Street in the City of Salford, which sits opposite Manchester city centre on the west bank of the River Irwell.

The place will transport you into a dark time- the Britain of the 1940s during the war."
