Best Dinner Places to Eat in Hartshead Pike

"What: Rooftop restaurants are a rarity in Manchester and rooftop restaurants with outdoor space even more so. Praise be for 20 Stories then, which offers a sleek and expansive outdoor terrace which benefits from sweeping views of the city. Something of a sun trap on sunnier days, guests here can top up their tans while tucking into a homely terrace menu which includes the likes of a fish finger sandwich, shepherd’s pie and a bao bun stuffed with Korean fried chicken.Where: No 1 Spinningfields, 1 Hardman Square, M3 3EB"

"20 Stories rooftop terrace is famous across the city for its stunning 360 ° views of Manchester’s skyline. The perfect spot for a girls night out, the terrace restaurant is open for bookings for food from 12th April, with walk-ins if you just fancy a drink. Oh Manchester 😍 #ILoveMcrpic.twitter.com/0mtxlqNrTy"

"A new kid on the block, Aiden Byrne’s menu is a modern British affair with ingredients either locally sourced or from the restaurant’s own farm in Cheshire. And as you might expect, Manchester’s highest restaurant offers stunning views over the city to complement the food and service."

"In February 2020 BC (before Covid) we got all excited with a visit to their about-to-open second Manchester branch on Oxford Road but it remains closed as we pine for a cold beer and a hot bhaji on a long table more than ever. We’ll have to make do with Deliveroo for now. It’s all veggie, as existing fans will know, but vegans have plenty to love from the iconic vada pav to the famous broccoli, kale and onion bhajis."

"The home of Indian veggie burgers, paneer tikka and egg burjhis, Bundobust is all about good food. But drinks don't go unnoticed either, with a cracking selection of craft beer for all palates. We're talking cask ales, chai cider and rotational keg lines pouring different kinds of brews."

"You can eat for well under a tenner at Indian kitchen Bundobust. Located in the Northern Quarter, the restaurant is a veggie haven of spicy cooking; we recommend the masala dosa, a warming combination of soup and mini pancakes."

"If you have never been to Tattu you will be getting Chinese food, but do not let visions of late night sweet and sour pork and MSG ridden spring rolls put you off- this is Chinese food like you have never had it before. Tattu delivers a contemporary approach to Chinese cuisine which is married with western flavours and techniques. Tattu wants to take you on a journey from East to West when you dine with them by showcasing a range of excellent dishes which are stylish, delicious and beautifully presented."

"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."

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"One of Manchester's most glamorous destinations ever since it opened in 2018 has been The Ivy in Spinningfields. The swish restaurant and bar will be reopening its ground floor outdoor terrace from April 12. The space is both covered and heated, so it's perfect for Manchester's less-than-favourable weather."

"The Ivy's roof garden is one of the most glamorous places in the city, perfect for celeb-watching. Opulent fabrics, masses of plants and a retractable roof (plus essential heaters) make it an luxurious hangout in all weathers. You can order from a huge menu of food, including afternoon teas and brunches."

"You feel close enough to touch Old Trafford at Café Football, part of Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville’s subtly soccer-themed hotel and restaurant."

"One of the best outdoor restaurants in Manchester, The Ape & Apple is an ideal pitstop after a long day of exploring the city. With friendly locals, monthly-changing ales and a secret terrace out the back, this place ticks all of our alfresco dining boxes."

"If you need a venue that will allow kids of all ages to let off some steam while doing something completely out of the ordinary, Chill Factore is ideal. The indoor ski slope can be used for skiing, snowboarding, doughnut sledging, and more. It is truly one of the best sports-based activities in Manchester and the north-west."

"Here comes a real chill place to visit which is the Chill Factore, an indoor snow centre. If you are someone who always wanted to play with snow, then this is your place to be. You have snowy slopes for your skiing and snowboarding experience with the guidance of the instructors."

"This underground bohemian non-profit café serves also as an exhibition space for local up and coming artists; so enjoy coffee and lunch, while admiring the latest art installation, in the company of creative individuals. Tucked away, just off Oldham Street, lit with a neon pink sign, and a quirky window display, follow the artwork down the stairs as you are led into the café. Greeted by a buzz of chatter, an assortment of miss matched comfy chairs, and a book case with books to borrow, you are instantly made to feel welcome."

"This not-for-profit establishment located in the heart of Manchester has combined creativeness with non-alcoholic beverages and craftsmanship. This is the perfect place to head if you’re looking for a relaxed yet fun atmosphere. Regular events and art exhibitions are extremely popular here, the delicious cups of hot coffee are just a great bonus!"

"Established in 2000 as a ‘creative space for young people’, Z-arts has learning at its core. The family-friendly Hulme venue offers a welcoming, vibrant and safe environment to get creative in."

"Live participation classes are already up and running at Z-Arts, but it'll be a little wait for the theatre and gallery spaces. See the latest updates at z-arts.org/see-whats-on."

"One of the most impressive exhibition spaces outside of London, The Hepworth’s architecture is just as spectacular as the collections housed inside. View rare pieces by famed local sculptor Barbara Hepworth, alongside a series of visiting exhibitions."
