With six pieces of sushi, katsu curry and ramen all coming in at under a tenner, YO! at the Trafford Centre or Arndale is an affordable place to stop for lunch after a spot of shopping. Better yet, they've got a whole vegan menu to keep everyone round the table happy.
One of the best places to eat a cheap lunch in Manchester, Volta is delving out three delicious small plates for £15 on weekdays. While a little more pricey than some of our picks, it's well worth the visit, thanks to succulent queenie scallops, aromatic Berbere spiced black lentils and sticky halloumi.
You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking fronting two dishes for £9 come weekday lunch. We recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes, or the classic pav bhaji served with a veg-packed curry.
