Lunch in Manchester city centre

[TutTutTutSigh]

We eat in Manchester regularly but tend to stick to our usual haunts.

Where do you enjoy for good food, good service?

A few we like: Rudys, Canto, Exhibition, Hawksmoor, San Carlo, Ramona, El Gato, Mowgli.

Thanks

If you like Mowgli try Dishoom

Dishoom, Society, Maki and Ramen, double zero (not as good as Rudys though), I really like the thai place in the little food markets on Piccadilly Gardens.

We went to Blacklock for recently and it was miles better and half the price of Hawksmoor

Also El Rincon- total classic

TNQ
Viet Shack
Indian Tiffin Room

This is one I can't believe I haven't tried.

We have the Dishoom cook book and for some reason this makes me less bothered about going, but I'll put it back on the list!

Heard good things about TNQ too, thanks.

DD is going to Manchester tomorrow and looking to eat lunch near Manchester Picadilly - she loves anything and everything - where would you recommend that’s not too ££££ ?! Thank you!

I'm intrigued by the little food market but try and get through picadilly gardens as fast as possible 😅

Within 10 minutes walk: Yumcha (Chinese, gay village) Rudys Ancoats (pizza), Mackie Mayor (food court, busy), Ramona if its not fully booked, or head to Northern Quarter e.g. Luck Lust Liqour & Burn for Mexican or Bab for Greek kebab.

I'm starving now.

Really enjoyed the roast dinner at Firehouse. Will check out the others thanks.

That’s just reminded me we’ve had amazing roasts at 10 Tib Lane and 3 Little Words

@TutTutTutSigh she went to Ramona’s and loved it!! Thank you so much!

TNQ. Mackie Mayers if you want something more casual. Dishoom in Manchester is particularly special because the building is gorgeous. If you like Italian Chichettis in the bottom of House of Fraser. It's owned by San Carlo's which is opposite which has a load of hype as a celebrity haunt but I was not impressed with the food on the one occasion I went.

Evuna, Deansgate has a bigger menu than NQ; Dimitris (Deansgate).
