In addition, indoor reservations for the brasserie, roof terrace and glamorous late-night restaurant and bar, Ivy Asia, will be available from 17 May."

"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."

"One of the largest restaurants to open in the UK in 2018 with 535 covers, The Ivy Spinningfields is set over four floors with a ground floor brasserie, ..." Read our full review"

"Ideal for those occasions when you really need to impress, The Art House is an award-winning fine-dining restaurant led by Paul Askew – one of the region’s highest-performing chefs. Here the focus is on local produce and fresh seasonal ingredients and, over the last few years, it has become renowned for its innovative world-class tasting menu. The restaurant is located on Sugnall Street, inside the stunning lantern room of the Victorian 1888 ‘Home for Destitute Children’, and it’s just a stone’s throw away from some of the city’s most renowned office buildings."

"The Art School delivers upmarket, regionally-inspired cooking from local legend, Paul Askew. Opening in late 2014, this fancy contemporary British restaurant is a place for that special occasion."

"A great addition to the restaurant scene in Liverpool and owned by a local chef. Carriage Works provides you with the city’s best dining experience, classic cuisine with a creative twist to a very high standard. It is necessary to book in advance."

"Adam Reid at The French is one of the city's top fine dining restaurants, boasting an array of awards from 4AA Rosettes to multiple inclusions in The Good Food Guide. The chef, a Manchester native, likes to put a twist on modern British food across a choice of four, six or nine courses."

": With low lighting, deep booths, and its very own champagne snug, this is one of the most elegant restaurants in Dakota. Tuck into a refined menu of chateaubriand, steak frites and black pudding, kale and venison with blackberry, and short rib of beef. Did we mention that they even have suites upstairs?"

"Australasia (1 The Avenue), a glam subterranean bar-restaurant goes on late and gets busy. Visit pre-dinner to enjoy a rose and lychee martini. Check out our full review of Australasia here…"

"Jack Rosenthal Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M15 4RA. Opened by former MasterChef winner Simon Wood, this is a large, welcoming venue. Whether you opt for the fine-dining a la carte, good-value set lunch or tasting menu, the kitchen allows fresh ingredients to shine."

"Named after chef patron Simon Wood, 2015 winner of MasterChef, this First Street restaurant offers unintimidating high end dining in a relaxed setting. From truffled tortellini to tomahawk sharers, you won’t leave hungry."

"Five-star hotel The Lowry underwent a swanky new makeover in late 2019, including a new look for the two-AA-rosette restaurant and bar. Their luxurious dining & drinking terrace is the perfect place to relax out of reach of the bustle of the city centre. With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."

"Situated in The Lowry Hotel on the Manchester/ Salford border, this fine dining breakfast menu is unbeatable. The restaurant itself is glass-walled and overlooks the Santiago Calatrava’s Trinity Bridge. The decor includes purple leather chairs, semi-circular banquettes, Fornasetti plates and mirrors."

"at The Chester Grosvenor is a multi-award winning fine-dining gem that also has four AA rosettes. A dining experience you are sure to remember, Simon Radley offers an elegant and sophisticated interior perfect for celebrating a special occasion. While the menus change frequently to offer on the best ingredients available, the sample menu featuring items such as loup de mer, which is line-caught sea bass with burnt cauliflower, sweet clams, smokey citrus and fennel, and the venison with cocoa noodle, liver ganache, game saveloy and Alsace rashers will give you an idea of what will be in store for you."

"Take the very best of British beef and combine it with traditional Turkish cooking techniques and you have the makings of the mouthwatering meat-filled menu at Kassap Meat House. What really makes Kassaps special is the performance aspect of cookery and butchery, often making a spectacle of things like their special cheese-filled Sirloin steaks or the cooking methods of juicy rib-eye cuts. Inside the designers have combined the beauty of Bold Street’s Bohemian spirit with the style and elegance of the period building Kassaps calls home."

"Yep, you guessed it Kassap are the kings of the Steakhouse on Bold street. Exceptional meat combined with Turkish cooking techniques make for a special evening meal at Kassap’s."

"St. Ann’s Church is a Grade I listed, 18th century temple located in front of St. Ann’s Square, at the heart of Manchester’s shopping district, where the fashionable shopping avenues of New Cathedral Street and Barton Arcade converge. The church was consecrated at this spot in 1712, when Manchester was little more than a rural parish town. Named after St. Anne, the church’s shortened name is a reference to Lady Ann Bland who was its first patron."

"While the country house at Hare Hill Hall is privately owned, the garden is cared for by the National Trust. The star here is the walled garden, a blaze of colour in early-summer when the rhododendrons and azaleas burst into flower. There are also uncommon varieties of poppy, iris, lupin, phlox and echinacea."

"We’re happy to give St John’s Gardens top marks for looks - after all, they’re meticulously kept, lined with a series of pretty walls and dotted with all kinds of lovely statues and flowerbeds - but the inner city location and relatively modest size mean it can seem a bit cramped (there's also something a bit wrong about cracking open a can of lager 50 feet from a dual carriageway). Still, it's great for a quick walk around."

"If you’re around the St George’s Plateau then head round the back to chill out in St John’s Gardens. The garden, which is part of the William Brown Street conservation area, has been a Green Flag site since 2003 and contains ornamental flower beds and various memorials to notable people in the city. A great spot to soak up the rays."

"An art gallery at the Albert Docks that we enjoy spending short amounts of time at, whilst admiring the modern and contemporary artwork displayed. This wonderful free thing to do in Liverpool with kids only charges for special exhibitions. Our kids love using the free rocket activity backpacks, we also love the kid’s free-play space where they have played for a long time creating patterns, dressing up and generally being a little louder than in the rest of the gallery!"

"Another located in the renovated Albert Docks area, Tate Liverpool represents the northern branch of the UK’s Tate gallery group. Opened in 1988, the converted warehouse exhibits a range of British art from 1500 onwards, from classical portraits to the world of 20th century pop art.
