Cheap Places to Eat in Scholes

"Located in Spinningfields, Tattu is a glamorous Chinese restaurant that fits right in with the contemporary, classy businesses of the area. With mood lighting and a unique interior design that features trees amongst other things, this is a romantic looking spot to enjoy some great food. The menu at Tattu combines the traditional Chinese food you’ve come to know and love with a fine dining experience, also incorporating exciting, unique dishes for those looking to try something new."

"We already know that Tattu is a swoon-worthy date night bar in Manchester, but did you know this place serves a quirky cocktail featuring a mini cherry blossom tree inside it?. Sip on this and plenty of other unique mixes while grazing on Pan-Asian plates for the ultimate experience."

"Offering the double whammy of stunning surroundings and a delicious menu, Tattu is a top restaurant in Manchester for vegetarians. Enjoy selection of modern Chinese cuisine, including shiitake bao, vegetarian chicken with black bean sauce and OK glazed tempeh."

"With its original site in up-and-coming Ancoats and a newly opened branch on Peter Street, it’s a go-to place for pizza and cocktails with your pals. Pizza dough is made on site twice a day and cooked for no longer than a minute to produce a springy base. Choose from toppings including classic margherita with buffalo mozzarella, spicy ‘nduja sausage with tomato and fior di latte, or white pizza with smoked mozzarella, Tuscan sausage and wild broccoli."

"You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Rudy's. The Neapolitan pizza masters only recently started doing takeaway (only collection at first) around lockdown, but we're so happy they're keeping it up - those queues and bookings out the wazoo at their Peter Street and Ancoats locations are impossible at times. They even started selling 'Bake at Home' kits, though you really need a proper oven to make it the way they do."

"No best-of restaurant list is complete without pizza, and luckily Manchester is well-known for its popular pizzeria Rudy's Pizza. Known for its "proper" Neapolitan pizza, Rudy's a casual spot that's ideal for families and groups but is also cool enough for couples and pairs of friends. There are several locations throughout Manchester, and you won't go wrong at any of them."

"What the restaurant lacks in design, it more than makes up for in the quality of their food. Clients who wait up to 30 minutes for a place at one of the tables appreciate the friendly staff and the authentic food, especially the roast pork belly – all provided at very reasonable prices."

"Because, almost everyone who makes special ceremonies such as weddings, engagements and birthdays in Manchester has made purchases from this place. Their cakes are very famous and very delicious. There are homemade chocolates, fresh cream cakes and yummy cakes."

"🍰 A wonderfully chocolatey Afternoon Tea, cakes, waffles, ice cream and their super-sweet Chocolate Challenge (which is far more difficult than it looks!)"

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."

"Centre For Chinese Contemporary Art is a unique art gallery with a year-round programme of socially engaged exhibitions, events, and artist residencies. They have over 30 years experience of working with emerging and established artists to provide a space for conversation, debate, and cross-cultural exchange.

"CFCCA reopens with a duo of exhibitions investigating and unpicking themes of belonging, identity and citizenship in a globalised and hyper-connected society. Housed in CFCCA’s Northern Quarter galleries, the exhibitions are just a few minutes’ walk from the Arndale Shopping Centre. Multiplicities in Flux brings together works by contemporary artists Grace Lau and Eelyn Lee in a dialogue around identity and belonging."
