The north west of England has some great hospitality services and has some fantastic places to eat and drink. I have been fortunate enough to travel around the North of England a few times in my life and I have stopped in at a variety of different places. However there are only a few places I’ve eaten in that have really stuck in my mind as being restaurant, dining experiences that you have to experience.
Manchester Restaurants have always had a certain appeal. The city of Manchester is one of the biggest cities in the world and there are a lot of people that need some thing to eat. Therefore there are restaurants, bars and other hospitality services aplently so whatever you need you will be able to find it in Manchester.
Three of my top restaurants in Manchester include:
Part of the Ramada hotel, Stresa can be found in the Salford Quays area. The restaurant has a contemporary look with light and comfortable surroundings. I remember visiting this restaurant when I was on a business trip in the area. I had set up the business dinner to meet with a marketing consultant and the impression the resturant gave was fantastic and then the food arrived. My marketing friend thought that marketing this place to the public would be easy, as we had both been sold by our starters and the selection of good wines. Stresa is an Italian restaurant that sources a lot of ingredients from the Lancashire area to make sure that the ingredients you are served are fresh and tasty.
Having always been in to seafood and sushi, I was delighted when I walked into the New Samsi Manchester restaurant. It is a Japanese restaurant that has been featured on Channel 4 and has been called the best place for Japanese food in the North West. New Samsi is a restaurant that has to be experienced.
A restaurant called Rhubarb which is situated in Didsbury, Manchester is another fine restaurant. The restaurant has been featured in both the Michelin and Hardens food guides for their contemporary and diverse menu. The suprising thing about this restaurant is how small and how personal it is. The restaurant is managed and run by chef Mark Ramsden and hostess Lisa Ramsden which gives it that homely feel with excellent service.
