Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Hawkshaw

"D&D London group’s all-day restaurant, bar and grill, 20 Stories, on the 19th floor of the No1 Spinningfields building in central Manchester. The modern British menu in the main restaurant showcases local produce, with the majority sourced within a 50-mile radius of the city. Herdwick lamb sits on potato gnocchi and chanterelle mushrooms, poached John Dory is served with a smart langoustine velouté and white asparagus, and butter-poached salsify is topped with burnt leeks and parsnip purée."

"Just in time for the festive season, 20 Stories is reimagining Christmas dinner with a 5-course set menu which is 100% vegan. Following cocktails and canapés, there’s spicy butternut squash soup, balsamic beetroot wellington, and a tart lemon sorbet, finished off with vegan macarons. Branch out and spoil yourself this Christmas, you’ve earned it!"

"I’ve been to plenty of Rooftop bars in my time is this not the first in Manchester (we also have Cloud 23) just opposite at the Hilton. (Which is 3 floors higher!). However, Many of these rooftop bars lack a TRUE VIBE, & they tend to be very “Stiff” places."

"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."

"Decked out with kitsch Bollywood paraphernalia, join one of the long, shared dining tables in Bundobust’s basement dining room and prepare for an Indian street food feast. It’s hard to go wrong with the menu - but the Vada Pav burger was recently listed among the best in the world, and it's on the menu for just £5. 61 Piccadilly, Manchester M1 2AG / bundobust.com"

"Indian street-food specialists Bundobust have ventured across The Pennines to open this spacious Piccadilly branch. Inside, seating is canteen-style with the enticing menu of snacks and sharing plates being equally informal, and entirely vegetarian too."

"Why: As with all of the other Ivy restaurants, this Manchester site is dripping in glitz and glamour, so breakfast here is as much about the surrounds as it is the food. Pastries and toast kick things off, while there are full English options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. If you fancy something a little more virtuous there is an extensive section dedicated to eggs and a light and healthy selection too, which features the likes of smoked salmon on rye bread and dairy free coconut yogurt with berries."

"For those who like their brunches with a touch of glamour and a sprinkle of special, Ivy in Spinngingfields should be top of your list.

Consider that sore head, healed."

Their brunch menu is packed full of yummy brunch classics, from posh beans on toast to French toast, so whether you want sweet or savoury, there will be something for you.
