Best Dinner Places to Eat in Widdop Crags

"20 Stories Manchester is a rooftop restaurant with incredible views of the city. A cosy wonderland decked out with blankets and heaters in the winter, the outdoor terrace truly comes alive when the sun shines, as alfresco drinking and dining comes paired with luscious greenery."

"20 Stories is one of Manchester's most romantic rooftop restaurants, with stunning views and equally impressive interiors filled with botanical touches. As for the menu, expect brassiere-style British classics with a focus on fresh and seasonal ingredients."

"Occupying the 19th-floor rooftop of No.1 Spinningfields, 20 Stories is the first Manchester project from the D&D London restaurant group, which alr ..." Read our full review"

"This Indian eatery first opened in Leeds but has now expanded to become a chain of three, including one branch located in Manchester’s Piccadilly. Hidden down a set of stairs in a basement off an unassuming city centre street, this place might be hard to find, but it’s worth searching for. Most dishes are vegan, including the newly launched for 2020 vada pav burger, which consists of a deep-fried mashed potato ball, red and green chutneys and deep-fried (spicy) green chilli, all in a vegan-friendly bun."

"Indian street food and craft beer bar Bundobust is a shining gem amongst the restaurant chains of Piccadilly Gardens. Venture down its wooden stairway and you’ll be met with a sprawling food hall, complete with casual canteen-style benches and a glorious glass skylight. Don’t expect a typical Indian menu though."

"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."

"It goes without saying that a visit to Tattu should be on the agenda when you're in town. The menu is just as striking as the interiors, with authentic pan-Asian dishes alongside distinctive cocktails containing ingredients like sake and yuzu."

"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)"

"From the decadent jade floor to the mouthwatering menu, The Ivy's Asian restaurant is bringing you a real taste from the East. Expect dishes from 'raw & cured' to 'dumplings & bao' paired with a huge selection of wines and a carefully curated cocktail menu."

"Every Saturday and Sunday between 12 and 5, BLVD run their bottomless brunch offer, which is popular with influencers who live in the city, so you might even spot some famous faces here!. For £35pp, you get one small plate and one side, as well as bottomless drinks for ninety minutes. The food is Asian-inspired, and it looks absolutely incredible."

"One of the sexiest picks in Spinningfields, BLVD brings you all the vibes of a sleek cocktail lounge with a sprinkling of live entertainment. Indulge in cocktails, Asian bites and late-night antics with your significant other at this quirky date night idea in Manchester."

"Formerly Neighbourhood, LA style Mexican, Japanese and Chinese dining then Nightclub at night. Great place for ordered Bottles to a table if that’s your seen. Lots of good looking people & they sometimes have Live Music/Saxophone on the stage with the DJ."

"The home of buttermilk fried chicken, Yard & Coop is the offbeat restaurant that lets you customise your meal with build-your-own steps and tasty sides, including mac 'n' cheese, loaded tatties and stuffing balls. Come the weekend, the kitchen whips out a cracking bottomless brunch that is not to be missed."

"The relaxed restaurant is bringing you burgers, wings and brunch offerings, along with a build-it-yourself section and a range of regular events, if you should fancy some tableside entertainment."

"The Tropical World at Roundhay Park has become one of the most coveted family attractions in Leeds. Situated just three miles from the city centre, this terrain is great to take a trek through the rainforest, relax in the simulated environs of Australia and to take a quick excursion through the desert. This is one of the best ways to learn the tropical habitat...Read more"

"Fitting in perfectly with our list is Tropical World, which is actually situated in Roundhay Park. This is fantastic for you, not only is it a popular attraction but it will also offer you some shelter from the weather should it turn bad. There is a small admission fee of £5 for adults, or £2.50 for children, but it’s more than worth it for what you’ll be seeing."

"Nestled inside Roundhay Park, Tropical World offers the UK’s largest collection of tropical plants outside of London. Expect a large collection of tropical plants, lush indoor exotic gardens and an impressive array of wildlife including giant catfish, colourful butterflies and even baby meerkats.

"Here’s one of the best farms in Leeds for kids, but with a difference. Hope Pastures is all about rescuing and rehabilitating horses, ponies and donkeys. After they’ve managed to do that, they let people come and visit the animals seven days a week, learning all about them and how tp look after them as you go."

"This Grade I listed Georgian church was nearly lost in the 1950s, but was saved when church officials decided that it was a building of historical and architectural importance. While it’s still a place of worship, Holy Trinity Church is also a lively community space and they put on all manner of events for you to enjoy, including art exhibitions, vintage fairs and live music – the acoustics are fantastic. Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS1 6HW."

"They serve unreal kebabs, fried chick’n and sides, and the best part is, everything on the menu is completely vegan friendly!. My personal favourite is the fried chick’n combo with buffalo sauce. However, everything I’ve tried from there is amazing, so I can promise you that you won’t be disappointed!"
