MAYA Manchester

Step into MAYA Manchester for a night of decadent food, beautiful surroundings, and an unforgettable atmosphere. The bar offers delicious small bites like Littlewood's charcuterie with cold-pressed rapeseed oil and Native oysters with rhubarb hot sauce, perfect for sharing over drinks.

In the main dining room, indulge in an ex-dairy burger with Lyonnaise onions or the rich Cumbrian lamb rump with lovage and overnight tomatoes. For dessert, try the Strawberry Lychee Margarita while you soak up the atmosphere of this stunning venue. 

Garden Bar & Restaurant

Located in the heart of Monton, Garden Bar & Restaurant is a gorgeous green oasis that's filled with exposed brick walls, fairy lights and lots of greenery. There's also a fully retractable roof that's perfect for soaking up the sun in summer in their stunning garden space.

The dishes are just as enticing as the interiors, with an all-day menu of Instagrammable dishes to enjoy. Start your morning with chocolate heaven pancakes and eggs Florentine, or head down a little later for nduja pizza, lasagne or even afternoon tea.

Menagerie

The eats are good and the cocktails are a treat, but it's the interiors that will really floor you at Salford's Menagerie. A wonderland of plush pink and statement bulbs, this pretty restaurant is the ultimate backdrop to any date night, hen do or dinner party.

Mana

The most beautiful of Michelin star restaurants in Manchester is Mana (well, it is the only one). Expect stripped-back interiors with a Scandi leaning, alongside the finest British dishes from Simon Martin, who is former chef at world-class Danish restaurant NOMA.
