Manchester
With its love of hearty, comforting fare—think Lancashire hotpot, Cheshire beef, Bury black pudding, and Eccles cakes, for example—Manchester is a city whose fine dining landscape reflects its industrious spirit and cultural vibrancy. The restaurants range from reinvented pub classics to bold, chef-driven eateries that experiment with flavours inspired by the city’s Indian and Middle Eastern communities. When you're not dining out, make the most of the city's lively street food culture and thriving market scene.
Party vibes abound at venues across the city promising expertly curated food and music, from house to drag to crooners. Just don’t call them ‘clubstaurants’
