Restaurants in Manchester
Manchester has a rich and thriving food scene. South Asian cuisine is a big draw, especially along the curry mile in Rusholme. But beyond budget staples, you’ll find a city centre booming with excellent modern British options, some which have received Michelin recognition. Manchester isn’t the culinary backwater many used to insist.
The restaurants below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over £30)
Moderate (£20 to £30)
Cheap (up to £20)
These prices are for a three-course meal for one, including half a bottle of house wine or equivalent, tax and service. A service charge of 12.5% will be added to your bill in most restaurants. If service is not included, 10% tipping is customary.
