The best restaurants in Ancoats and Clayton Manchester North West

A good traditional Manchester pub with friendly locals and a great selection of draught beers.

Excellent hospitality and excellent food and friendly staff. Shall recommend coming back with more people next time. Many thanks 👍

Shall we talk about typical Ghanaian delicacies??? No challenger! Food is an absolute banger! I ate TZ while hubby had Kokonte. And both were hits. Mild flaw is venue &ambiance, needs a step up. Besides that, everything is a 10/10. Fred who served us is a very friendly chap. Deffo coming again.

Definitely my go to cafe whenever I’m in the city centre, great staff and great food at a good price!

Great little place on a stag doo tour,chatted with the locals, bar staff charged my phone for me , enjoyed the visit

Lovely large portion sizes and authentic taste! Been three times!

First time visit As a gluten and lactose intolerant person i would recommend this place 100% of the time Food was amazing service was great And atmosphere was calm and relaxing Great place to go

Incredible and ultra airy pizza of super good quality, one of the best I've tasted I think :)

Hard working evening staff. 5 stars for them. Lovely :) Coffee tasted awful unfortunately. Dishwater level.

Saturday night and was only us and one other table. Service was quick and professional and the food was delicious. Overall very happy

Very friendly welcome, I arrived at 12pm and was able to grab a table that had a booking for 2pm. The setting is lovely and cosy, not too packed with tables, and there were some regulars having a drink and a laugh at the bar which is always nice. I ordered the small plate of lamb roast but was served the large by mistake and not charged extra for it. It was a generous portion and I think the small plate would've been plenty for me. The meat was perfectly cooked and I appreciated the variety of trimmings, including potato, carrot, parsnip, cabbage, snow peas, cauliflower cheese, Yorkshire pudding, lots of gravy, and a mint sauce was also offered. I'd been hoping to go for dessert too but the large plate was just too tempting so I did eat most of it then couldn't continue! I'll definitely be back in the future, though will probably book ahead to avoid the risk. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience at this restaurant! The dishes I tried were packed with flavor and had just the right amount of spice, which made every bite exciting. If you enjoy spicy food, this is definitely the place to go. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff was friendly. highly recommend it

It's ages since I've been there, so was surprised that nothing has changed much. The stand layout is a little bit confusing, but we managed to navigate our way around. Love that the free bus comes and goes from the bus station as that was a massive help. Great little cafe onsite. Still annoys me that we have to pay to use the loos. (Think there's only Ashton that has lifted the fee and we can now pee for free). However, once you've paid the 20p, the loos were in fair condition for a bus station, so happy enough about that.

We visited this cosy Vietnamese restaurant in Manchester last weekend and sampled their signature dishes plus fab drinks. We tried the following: 》Premium Pho with Beef, Chicken, Viet pork sausage & boiled egg 》BBQ Pork with rice and fresh veggies 》Summer Rolls with Prawn and Pork 》Spice me up Sling | Apple juice, Mint, Coriander, Lemonade, Chilli 》Lychee Virgin Hollis | Guava, Watermelon, Lychee, Lime The various meat (Beef, Chicken, Vietnamese pork sausage) and veggies on the Premium Pho really hit the spot plus the noodles weren't soggy at all. The charred Bbq pork was perfectly seasoned, complimented by the veggies on the side and the dipping sauce which cuts thru the oiliness of the dish. The freshness of the summer rolls with prawn and pork was quite lovely too. We had first dibs on 2 of their carefully concocted mocktails and they were mega - Please put them on the menu asap! We absolutely enjoyed these eye candies which had fresh, balanced flavours and so unique. They just relaunched March of this year and offers a vibrant mix of classic & innovative creations, do check them out.

On my second visit to Nam, I once again had an exceptionally pleasant experience. The beef pho is a heartwarming, especially on chilly days, and is a must-try for everyone. The consistency in the quality of other dishes is also great. During my first visit, I enjoyed the crispy fried calamari (though I missed taking a photo). The pork belly buns are equally amazing. However, Nam’s chicken wings are my personal favorite. Frankly, I’m not sure as to why this place isn’t more popular, especially when compared to another Vietnamese restaurant in Ancoats. In my opinion, Nam offers far better food and service.
