The best restaurants in Bowdon Trafford North West

I visited yesterday on my own and had a coffee and the Shakshouka Bagel which was amazing and very filling. I have visited OTWT many times since it opened in 2019 as I have coeliac disease and all the food is gluten free: I sometimes go to eat in, like yesterday, and sometimes buy food to take away. I am the only gluten free person in my family but we all love the food from OTWT. My other half thinks Hayley’s cheese and onion pies are the better than “normal” ones! Other items I regularly buy and would recommend are the pasties (my favourite is the cheese and jalapeño), different types of cakes and biscuits, scotch eggs, pakoras and the arancini. Yesterday I also bought a pack of bagels after enjoying my lunch so much. Hayley and Dave are super friendly, always making time to chat and answer questions even when busy. I feel very lucky that this I live close to somewhere that makes and sells such yummy gluten free food.

The food was really tasty and all fresh. Nice atmosphere with great prices.

A great Italian restaurant. The fresh pasta served is second to none! Extremely tasty and this has to be the best pasta in South Manchester. We were served by Adam who was charming and very knowledgeable.

We turned up today for an afternoon tea which I booked with a £25 deposit (I have the receipt) to find the tearoom closed. Leanne had my mobile number (as well as my money) but never informed me the cafe had closed. I met with the new owner who was full of apologies and was just lovely. Feel very let down by Leeanne.

Great stop by the river selling Purbeck ice cream - the berries and cream are my favourite. Also sell quality coffee, savoury snacks and cakes. The staff are very friendly - recommended

A lovely Italian restaurant. Helpful friendly staff. They went through the menu, letting me know what was available Gluten free, which was most of the menu!! What a choice and the food was delicious!

Thought I'd give the Croque Madame a try, even though I thought it was ridiculously expensive at £12. It's only cheese on toast at the end of the day. I was extremely disappointed as I thought, it's got to be outstanding for the £12 asking price alas it was anything but. The coffee also was very expensive and had very little taste, it might as well have come out of a jar. Overall very dissatisfied.

We visit on a regular basis as the food is consistently good and the service excellent with super friendly staff. We usually have a banquet selection if we are there with friends. They provide spicy Thai crackers for the table and then the mixed starter arrives. Chicken satay, prawn toast, fish cakes, spring rolls and prawns are all delicious and then you can choose a number of main courses depending on how many people are in your party. Rice or noodles are provided on the side along with stir fried mixed vegetables. Reasonably priced and great value wines too. Please go and try for yourself, we can highly recommend. You probably need to book on a weekend as others have also discovered this gem of a place.

The food at Rasassi is amazing. All of their curries are fresh and the meat is succulent, also going very well with not only the thick, garlicky naan bread, but also rice. Their poppadom is crispy and offer plenty of it. Overall, m my meal here was as good as any five star restaurant

We were a party of 16 celebrating an engagement! We all had a drink in the bar then taken to long table in a private part of the restaurant. The service was very attentive and the food delicious. The portions very generous and the food all came out the same time for all of us. The happy couple and grandpa was treated to a complementary cocktail to celebrate the happy occasion. We didn’t feel rushed and really enjoyed our evening with Shon as our head waiter. The food was so good!!

Booked to go here tonight to celebrate granddaughters a level results only to find find they were closed .. . Booked 3 weeks ago , would have been nice to have been informed that they were close!!@ We went to Dolmus Italia and had a lovely meal were very accommodating and had a lovely meal. We'll recommend.

Food was great, recommend the biscoff cheesecake. Service was good, our waiter was Simo who was lovely. Coffee is the reason for only 4 stars, would have that at home

By far and away the best chinese you will find for authentic homestyle food. Yes it is a small cafe with only 10 covers but you will go a long long way to find anywhere serving homemade dumplings. As well as the dumplings we ordered har gau, and pork bao followed by Shanghai fillet steak, duck in plum sauce and Singapore vermicelli. All were excellent. My boys said they want to go back again soon. High praise indeed.

Found 2 hairs in the food tasted horrible will never ever ever eat out of here again absolutely disgusting 🤮
