Best Dinner Places to Eat in Atherton

"If you’re after a ‘restaurant with a view’ in Manchester, you can’t do better than 20 Stories. Found on the 19th floor of No 1. Spinningfields, the entire city …"

"For small plates and spot-on cocktails, pay a visit to Maray on Bold Street. The buzzing vibe starts here in the afternoon and carries on well into the evening, as friends cosy up in the intimate restaurant digging into burrata, roasted cauliflower with pomegranate and lamb koftas. Arrive early for a seat at the bar and order the Whip Royale – a concoction of cucumber gin, prosecco and fragrant lavender, or keep it classic with a gin and tonic, each perfectly paired with a garnish."

"There are two branches of Maray to choose from, Bold Street and Allerton Road and this scrumptious creation is fresh off the spring menu. The salted chocolate and bergamot tart with chai ice cream is not only very, very delicious-looking, it’s completely vegan too."

"Both Maray restaurants serve a range of vegan meals, with a menu dedicated solely to vegan dishes. Vegan options include falafel, persian bread and muhammara and arabic flatbread and hummus. 91 Bold St, Liverpool L1 4HF and 57 Allerton Rd, Liverpool L18 2DA"

"What to expect: Delicious Indian small plates featuring the Mowgli Chip Butty. For flavoursome vegetarian dishes that you won’t forget anytime soon, a visit to Mowgli Street Food is a must. Perfectly prepared to bring you just the right amount, choose from dishes including the tantalising Yoghurt Chat Bombs, Treacle Tamarind Fries and of course Mowgli’s delicious Chip Butty."

"Nisha Katona, curry evangelist extraordinaire, started a voyage a few years ago to bring a little bit of India to Liverpool with her restaurant called Mowgli. One chat bomb at a time. To say she was successful in doing so, would be an understatement."

"Among India’s most popular desserts is Gulab Jamun: dumplings soaked in rose flavoured sugar syrup with a scoop of ice cream to the side."

"This laid-back Piccadilly street food favourite has canteen and booth-style seating, and bespoke artwork nodding to Manchester’s industrial heritage. The informal menu is entirely vegetarian: think spiced okra fries, or bundo chaat, a delightful mixture of crunchy samosa pastry, chickpeas, tamarind chutney and turmeric noodles. An excellent beer list showcases local breweries."

"Available all week long, Bundobust’s pancake offering sees them put a sweet twist on the traditional dosa. These mango puree and rosewater rice pancakes are £5 and come served with shrikhand (a sweetened cardamom yoghurt), mango ras, pistachio, and pomegranate."

"Specialising in cakes, shakes and American candy, Treaty Pie is based in Old Swan delivering delicacies from 6pm until 11pm and midnight at weekends, with delicious desserts such as the freshly-baked, light & fluffy Banofee Waffle with a layer of banana smothered in salted caramel sauce, along with seriously good shakes – including an option to invent your own with your choice of two ingredients from a list of sweet-toothed temptation including Terry’s Chocolate Orange and Jammy Dodgers.

"A great pub in Liverpool, The Hope & Anchor is the Knowledge Quarter bar complete with a fabulous, sunshine-ready beer garden. Nab a spot on one of their picnic tables and tuck into a delicious menu of burgers, brunches and craft brews."

"Only a hop, skip and a jump from the football stadium, The Hope & Anchor is one of the best places for a cheap meal in Liverpool. Along with wallet-friendly pints and all the classics, it's also got a number of weekly deals."

"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."
