Take a trip to Baratxuri if you're looking for delicious meats that are superbly cooked. Located in Ramsbottom, this restaurant offers a colourful atmosphere that will make you feel like you're in Spain. The dining experience here is fairly casual despite the high-end quality of the food. 

Meat is the focus here, with massive cuts brought directly to your table to be shared among your entire group. This includes pork, lamb and Spanish txuleton beef, the latter of which caused this restaurant to skyrocket on local foodies' favourites lists.

The French at the Midland Hotel is where patrons longing for a premium fine-dining experience can find just that. With chef Adam Reid at the helm, you can enjoy a premier fine-dining experience that showcases the talents of this Michelin-starred chef. 

The food here shows off Adam's culinary capabilities by taking modern British food and crafting a flavourful twist that will leave you satisfied no matter what you order. You can opt for a 4-course menu, a 6-course menu or a 9-course menu, depending on how fast you want your service to be.

At Hawksmoor, you'll find the ultimate combination of a fine-dining experience and a steakhouse.

The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, making it easy to access for just about everyone. Even the decor is appealing, as this restaurant is housed within an old Victorian courthouse.

Honest Crust is where you can enjoy a satisfying pizza from their wood-burning pizza ovens. They are able to produce some of the best pizza in the Manchester area, but that's only because of the care the local chefs put into the work.

The Creameries in Chorlton is where you should go if you have a sweet tooth.
