"Deansgate’s Barton Arcade plays host to Pot Kettle Black – a glass fronted coffee haven that has Mancunians flocking from all over the city. I’m yet to see PKB empty, which is testament to their consistently high standards and some of the best coffee in the City. Also a sanctuary for freelancers I’m not the first to have spent an entire day in PKB, keeping fuelled by their beverages and snacks and I’m positive that I won’t be the last."

"This boutique coffee house situated in the beautiful Victorian building, Barton Arcade, is owned by Rugby League’s Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan. The core coffee PKB uses for standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino is Workshop’s ‘Cult of Done’. Prices start at £2.30 for an espresso, rising to £3.50 for a cup of one of their exclusive filter specialities."

"Set up by two St Helen’s rugby players, PKB is forward thinking coffee house with a health-conscious edge.

Andif the caffeine hit isn’t enough to wake you up in the morning, they also run PKBlasters workout sessions - an energising workout to start the day,"

"A Tafford Centre pit stop isn’t the same without some warm topped cookie dough!. My Cookie Dough has reopened at the shopping centre – returning with a large list of flavours to try from Red Velvet to Fudge & Honeycomb (which you can customise by adding your own choice of toppings and ice cream). My Cookie Dough also launched a Build Your Own kit which you can have delivered straight to your doorstep containing all the ingredients you need to make enjoy your My Cookie Dough experience at home."

"My Cookie Dough has a seriously committed following, judging by the crowds at its Manchester Arndale stall (it recently opened another at the Trafford Centre too). Big dollops of dough are baked until warm and crispy, but still soft enough to dip into with a spoon, then loaded with various sauces and toppings. Indulgent flavours include red velvet and Nutella, white chocolate and raspberry, Oreo, fudge and honeycomb, Biscoff, and coconut chocolate."

"Taking the humble traybake to new heights, My Cookie Dough is among the best dessert shops in Manchester. Their Slutty Brownie stacks are a mouthwatering mess of chocolate brownie, crushed Oreos and their house cookie mix, served up as chunky slabs and coated in a hefty drizzle of Nutella. With locations at both the Trafford Centre and the Arndale, you won't have to travel far to get your hands on these bad boys."

"It’s half-deli, half-bakery, with a wide selection of pies, sausage rolls, cakes, pastries and freshly baked loaves. Alongside its famous hot roast carvery rolls, it’s worth having a go at the full English Vienna. For just £6, they’ll fill a bap bigger than your head with hand made pork sausages, rindless back bacon, hash brown, egg, black pudding, spam, mushrooms, tomatoes and/or beans."

"Buried in the heart of Chinatown, Pho Cue might be the most unassuming yet utterly consuming takeaway you'll find on this list - and yes, the pun is intentional. Specialising in Vietnamese delights, we've never had a meal from here that hasn't ended in loosening our belts and unbuttoning our pants."

"One of Manchester’s most beautiful spots for Japanese food, subterranean venue Australasia is much-loved for its incredible Australian dishes, infused with Japanese and Indonesian influences. Think oysters, Sashimi and Tempura dishes – with Teriyaki beef rump dishes, octopus and many more fresh fish offerings. The menu is absolutely huge, with a wide variety of Nigiri, Tempura, Sashimi and California Rolls to choose from if sushi’s what you’re after."

"A post shared by Mary G (@mairahgorman) on Jul 5, 2019 at 10:49am PDT. Australasia is a chic modern restaurant that offers guests a fusion of traditional Australian and Asian cuisines. After descending the restaurant’s distinctive glass pyramid, guests are transported into an elegant dining space meant to resemble the beaches of the Pacific Rim."

"Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences, served in a glamorous subterranean venue in Spinningfields. Pacific Rim flavours are underpinned by classic European cooking techniques in a menu that spans sushi and sashimi to robata grilled meat and fish. Don’t miss the signature black cod."

"Set in the iconic Midland Hotel, the cosy booths, stylish décor and relaxed atmosphere of The French by Simon Rogan makes for an opulent date night. Worthy of any special occasion, quality food is at the heart of this operation with meticulously crafted tasting menus. The French’s absent Michelin star is well documented, but the infamous missing star isn’t all bad - diners can experience Michelin standard food without the waiting lists and price tag."

"The Midland Hotel, 16 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 2DS. Adam Reid has kept The French at the top of Manchester’s restaurant tree for many years, and while the grand dining room is opulent, the vibe feels less formal and the food continues to impress."
