Kargo MKT

At Salford Quays’ waterfront, Kargo MKT has rapidly established itself as one of Manchester’s most compelling casual dining destinations - a lively food hall powered by the award-winning curators at Blend, designed to give talented independent chefs a platform to showcase authentic global cuisine. With room for around 20 kitchens and a sun-soaked outdoor terrace overlooking Central Bay, Kargo MKT turns communal eating into a social event, where a group can graze across diverse food cultures in one energetic space.

The line-up reads like a world tour. Expect Korean barbecue and bibimbap from Bab K, rich Palestinian classics at Baity, vibrant bubble tea from Boba Cha, and Caribbean favourites at Sunrise Caribbean. Fried chicken and comfort classics come from BOKBOK and Super Fry Guys, while Leopard Pie delivers artisan pizzas and Thatziki brings Greek street-food flair. Noodle lovers can dive into M’ien Noodles or Joy-full Noodles, and snacks, coffee and breakfast bites are covered by Locale Coffee and Egg & Co. - with fusion options like Mexican-American Fuego 1987 and Vietnamese street eats from +84 adding extra flavour.
