The best restaurants in Trafford North West

We absolutely love Lift Up! As very frequent visiters to Chill we are here often. Fab tea and hot chocolate (gold dust anyone?!) and the cakes are epic. Especially love the banana bread and homemade cakes. Food is lovely and even the fussy ones find something. Would like to visit to dine and drink in a bit more but one member of our family gets a bit anxious in closed in spaces so it can be a bit much as often very busy. Takeaway is an option available.

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.

Flavours you can’t quite put your finger on … absolute winner! Pasta but time to rethink smothering it in cheese as these gorgeously umami rich dishes are rich by in flavour and texture.

A superb family run business, excellent service and Phil is a really great genuine host with so much time for a chat. An absolute pleasure to be there.

A very welcome return visit to this hidden gem for the tapas evening. Exquisite food with an inventive small plate menu and excellent service. People of Manchester give it a try, you will not be disappointed 😋

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.

Lovely family run restaurant, which adds to the experience and authenticity. Great food at affordable prices. Service very good. We enjoyed the lamb and chicken. Enjoyed the bring your own drinks. Desserts also very nice. Well worth a visit.

We both went for advocado and smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast mine was gluten free, amazing find and very happy , we had been to the cemetery and called in I’ve not been into the centre for a long time , was very nice being done up , cafe was lovely and very tasty

Excellent food and great service. This place is consistently brilliant. We had mixed grill and dumpling starters followed by mains. Every dish spot on.

I used to live in Manchester and visited this place regularly. I moved away 8 years ago and decided to visit on the trip to Manchester this week but the shop was closed. I messaged on Facebook to be told they do collection and delivery only. They fit me in last minute and I am so grateful they did. They are honestly the best cupcakes I have had and would recommend them to anyone. If you are local or visiting then contact them and put in an order, you won’t regret it.

This place is closing next week. It is such a shame another independent place gone again. Brilliant service. Brilliant lunch. Brilliant cheese. A really nice latte to finish a great Lunch.

Mid morning coffee and green tea. Fast courteous service. The cafe is clean, light and airy. Only a few tables but well spread out so you have a lot of room.

Fab food, plenty of choice for vegetarian, vegan and meat eaters & great service! Warm and clean, easy to access and well priced. Thank you Cafe Med.

Had my 40th birthday party here and I couldn't have been happier - fantastic staff, service, atmosphere and cocktails. Highly recommend!
