Restaurants

My first time visiting Yard & Coop in Manchester’s Norther Quarter and it won’t be my last. With the recent pandemic, ordering food proved to be a bit of a challenge as everything has to be ordered via the website whilst sitting at your table. We were told to visit the Yard & Coop website, choose which restaurant we were ...

There are two Red Chilli locations in Manchester, one on Oxford Road opposite Big Hands bar and the other on Portland Street on the edge of Chinatown. Both locations have the exact same menu and the quality and taste of the food used to be consistent across both sites, however since the Chinatown branch employed a new manager and chef ...

Pinchjos is a quaint little tapas bar situated on Burton Road in the heart of Didsbury. Spanish food and mediterranean style tapas is becoming really quite popular at the moment with restaurants popping up all over the place. I remember when La Tasca was the only tapas you could find outside of Spain. Unlike the La Tasca chain that packs ...

Looking for a light lunch in Manchester on a sunny Saturday afternoon led us to Pan Vino at the Great Northern railway building at the junction of Deansgate and Peter Street. Pane Vino is quite a small venue with limited seating inside and out. With the sun shining as bright as it did on the day we visited thr demand ...

We have been to Artisan once before but only for drinks for my birthday a couple of years ago. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the cocktails, served from behind a bar that looks like a row of school desks, were very good. The food also looked good from what we had seen so I am surprised it took us so ...

Jas Jas Jas is a family based delicatessen and restaurant based in Cheadle. Owned and operated by Jilly and Solly Bader, Jas Jas Jas serves delicious Lebanese and Mediterranean food to eat in or take away. Jilly and Solly used to operate a much larger restaurant in Bramhall but sadly this has now closed due to Jilly’s ill health; but what the Cheadle ...

I have a friend who goes to Indigo religiously every single Friday evening and he absolutely loves it. I have been once before and I did enjoy the food but I wouldn’t have said it was worthy of weekly visits. We decided to give it another try last Saturday to see if things had perhaps changed since our first visit ...

Most people will be familiar with Simon Rimmer because of his presenting and cooking work on the channel 4 morning television show, Sunday Brunch. What many people won’t realise is that Simon has been cooking professionally for close to 30 years and opened his first restaurant, Greens in Didsbury in 1990. Earle is Simon’s second restaurant located in Hale, Cheshire, unlike ...

I have passed the Turkish Kitchen every day for the past couple of months now and it has always been very busy. We decided to give it a try on Saturday and had a rather nice if not slow lunch. The restaurant is quite small with seating for maybe 40 people. It is very clean inside and there is plenty of ...

Since its opening in Manchester’s Albert Square in 2014, I have visited Red’s True BBQ about 5 or 6 times, the most recent visit being last Sunday, 01/05/2016. Each time I have enjoyed the food but my enjoyment was slightly less this last visit, I am not sure why, because the food was still very good, perhaps it is just ...
