Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Trafford

"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."

"There's no doubt about it, walking into Bundobust is sure to bring your day an unbridled amount of joy - as well as plenty of incredible Indian dishes. Serving a creative and modern take on Indian street food, Bundobust has rapidly become a favourite in the city. And it's easy to see why."

"One of the most traditional Instagrammable places in Manchester is Albert Schloss. Albert Schloss has a fabulous storefront decorated with Wisteria and I can guarantee you, that you won’t miss the restaurant, as there is always a group of people taking photos of this incredibly beautiful Instagrammable restaurant in Manchester. Albert Schloss is a German restaurant as you might guess from the name, so expect the German menu and some really great desserts."

"Manchester's first Bavarian bier palace, cook haus and bakery is a cavernous space which sees Pilsner Urquell served straight from huge shiny tanks, while meat comes in the form of steak, schnitzel, curry or bratwurst."

"The stunning transformation of the former restaurant at the Palace Hotel (now the Principal) by DJ duo The Unabombers as The Refuge in 2016 is heaped with praise in the guide. It says: “The duo are experts at creating venues that are simultaneously hip, stylish and unpretentious in a generously northern way. The Refuge is as much a destination for a family Sunday roast as it is a late-night cool kids’ hang-out."

"Those dreams of sharing a Roast Platter once more are just weeks away”. The Refuge is known throughout the city for its slap-up Sunday roasts, with the highlight undoubtedly being the ‘Roast Platter’, which lets you combine a choice of meats on offer with a rich range of sides and accompaniments to top it all off. A vegetarian / vegan roast option is also available, alongside extensive drinks and dessert menus."

"The Refuge, Oxford Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 7HA - Visit now. Looking something a little more upmarket?. You need the raved-about Refuge by Volta at The Principal Manchester (formerly known as the Palace Hotel) on Oxford Road."

"The menu is divided into ‘little ones’, ‘bigger ones’, ‘pizzas’ and ‘afters’ - I like places that keep it simple. And they come with unlimited organic cordial - it gets better. Dishes range from sweet potato rissoto for the little ‘uns, to mini pie and mash or little beef dinner (on Sundays) for the bigger ones who can handle something a bit meatier."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants British. A marriage of British and Italian cuisine is kept in check with a sensibly sized menu, so that quality isn't compromised, but there's still plenty of choice, with pastas, fish, pizzas and salads alongside larger mains, including steaks."

"A unique, family owned art café where you can get creative whilst enjoying a fresh, locally sourced menu. Paint, stitch or sculpt as you enjoy a craft ale or artisan coffee and homemade cake – you will enjoy it as much as the kids!. A clay imprint of your family’s handprints could be the perfect souvenir of your trip."

"A gig venue and late-night bar, Gorilla is also a surprisingly good casual dining space, open from 9am at weekends. The various elements of that eggs Benedict (£5.50) are bright, fresh, pin-sharp. The full English, meanwhile, comes with Gorilla's own-recipe sausages (made by renowned Chorlton butcher WH Frost) and quality bacon from over the border in Cheshire."

"Gorilla, 54-56 Whitworth Street West, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M1 5WW - Visit now. A bar, kitchen and music venue from the people who brought you Trof."

"This is another opening that will be the talk of the town when it reopens, as the Manchester Jewish Museum unveils its £6m transformation to the public for the first time. You'll have to be patient though - the Chetham Hill venue won't open until July 2, when it kicks things off with a MIF co-commissioned installation. General admission tickets will be available soon at manchesterjewishmuseum.com."

"The Manchester Jewish Museum is the only Jewish museum you will find out of London. The Victorian building is Grade II listed and was built in 1874. It is, therefore, the oldest synagogue in Manchester."

"The People’s History Museum, or the National Museum of Democracy, exhibits the entire spectrum of British social past, its present and future. Visitors can learn about the history of working rights in Britain, women equality, social justice, voting rights and several other elements of the UK’s political and social fabric. The collections at the museum include thousands of trade union banners, badges, political manifestoes and posters."

"Recently re-opened after a major facelift, the PHM chronicles 200 years of people's history in Manchester - beginning with the Peterloo Massacre of 1819 and ending in the present day. A visit to the PHM is a great way to understand more about the events, politics, people and tragedies that are woven into the fabric of the city that you now call home.
