Where to eat in Manchester with a teen?

[Restlessinthenorth]

Heading to Manchester with my 13 year old next week. Last time we went we are at Boujee and she seriously loved it. It's now closed down but she's wanting to eat somewhere equally fun. Can anyone recommend anywhere that might be cool to an early teen?...

I'd head to Chinatown. Fab selection of restaurants. Also Platzki- cool Polish restaurant. Fab also.

Mine loved Mackie Mayor, Federal, Ezra and Gill and The Pen and Pencil when they were teens.

Thanks all! I'll get googling!

American pies! Very insta/TikTok worthy but also amazing food. Otherwise Mackie Mayor or Yard & Coop are both good suggestions.

Reds BBQ or Pixels.

Also take a look at Hatch on Oxford Road.

Mackie Mayor, or just across the road is Ramona which is a cool pizza place, usually has a DJ on.

Escape to freight island.

Ramona if they like pizza, it’s partially outdoors so wrap up

Mackie Mayor has a lot of choice but also v casual

Sams Chop House for olde worldy traditional pub grub that’s v v good

Kitten is v popular right now

The Ivy for swanky

Dishoom for Indian dishes

I second Chinatown. So much to choose from.

DH and DD(13) went on their own to Manchester a few weeks ago for the Rugby Grand Final and had a great lunch in one of the buffet restaurants.

American pies has got a lot of interest on social media so may be popular!

Mackie mayor I think might be a big grown up if they liked boujee…
Escape to Freight Island is another good call.
