Best & Cool Bars in Westhoughton

"One for the vegans here, Bundobust is the perfect example of proving that you don't need meat to pack a punch. With a proper fast-food feel, despite being able to eat in at their Piccadilly location, each time those lovely little pots are plonked in front of you is just as exciting at the last. The tarka dhal is to die for, their food has a real grab-and-go feel to it and it's very reasonably priced considering the amount of flavour you get out of each dish."

"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."

When the sun is shining, this outdoor lunch venue in Liverpool is the ideal place to admire the historic surroundings of the Georgian Quarter."

"Cobbled streets and Georgian Townhouse splendour, breakfast alfresco and with views over the cathedral. If you’re not already sold on The Quarter, then perhaps it’s food will convince you. An Italian inspired independent, we’re talking freshly baked pastries, smoothie bowls, freshly brewed coffee and the usuals, pancakes, poached eggs and peanut butter on toast."

"The Quarter was a trailblazer for scouse cafe culture and whether you’re getting together for brunch, lunch, or one of their famous pizzas, the pretty pavement tables are now even more sought after since the addition of some toasty heaters. Address: 7 Falkner St, Liverpool L8 7PU"

"At Gusto, the motto is 'Con Amici', which means 'eating with friends' – so you can bet they are one of the best family friendly restaurants in Liverpool. They're a cute little Italian restaurant sitting in the Albert Dock and overlooking the Tate Gallery, with a menu packed with pasta, pizza and many other Italian favourites perfect for fussy eaters and budding-connoisseurs alike."

The food is excellent value for the quality- the extensive menu features fresh mussels, prime cut steaks, seafood pasta dishes and Moroccan tagines."

"The Spinn invites you to discover a flavourful brunch menu available every day from 10am to 2pm. The friendly staff and atmosphere will make you feel at home. We recommend The Avocado & Eggs."

"An abundance of choice in flavour is available to have in a cone, on waffles, or on a cake of your own choosing. If you ever head to gelato passion, make sure you try out their peanut butter cake with raspberry sorbet. Kind of like a PB&J sandwich deconstructed into ice cream!"

"Regularly lauded as a potential Michelin star winner, The French is a destination restaurant for all. Adam’s Great British Menu-winning dessert Golden Empire is a must-try, alongside four, six or nine course tasting menus. A treat for any fine dining enthusiasts, The French showcases everything that is great about northern produce and cooking."

With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."
