The best restaurants in North West

Sunday lunch was decidedly average, sadly. Usual warm welcome and fine surrounds but the roast was over-priced, especially as it came with frozen roast spuds, frozen Yorkshires and virtually raw cabbage - for £16! Starter was clearly shop bought as were the desserts. My cheesecake was like chalk with a bit of crumpled meringue and frozen berries barely thawed. Tasteless. The profiteroles were shop-bought too. Cost for two plus drinks £70. No finesse. Could have had it at home for £20. Shame to report that we were disappointed as it’s a lovely spot for a pub and previous visits have been great.

Came in for some drinks, Pez turned our night around. He was incredible, personable and looked after us incredibly. Tonight wouldn’t of been as special without him. Gave us on point recommendations and made sure we had the best evening. Would come again.

Absolutely beautiful, my new favourite chinese for the future, 10/10

First time visit. For a special meal this place ticks all the boxes. Fabulous food, beautiful surroundings, excellent & friendly service .

Great food. Lots of choice on the menu. Excellent service with dishes recommended. The lamb chops were delicious. Very cosy atmosphere. Would definitely return. Thankyou.

Many times I have found that restaurants with a wide offering of different foods tend to be rather mediocre at everything and exceptional at nothing. That is not the case for Bardez... the taste and quality of all the food was pretty top notch. Spice levels are on point, so if you can't handle much spice make sure you ask for it mild: the chef doesn't mess around. We had the Tandori mix grill (the kebab and prawns were the highlight of this), the Chow-mein noodles (a surprise delight... even at medium hot it was too much to handle for some of our party), taarka daal (mild), and the vegetable dum biriyani (yummy). What made the night really awesome was that the owner came over to us. He is from a place called Bardez in Goa (which is where the restaurant gets its name) and looks like Mr. Tee (I'm not even joking). He's such a nice guy and checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying the food and that the service was great. I will definitely be going back.

The dining room setting was 5 star. Had the twice baked soufflé! Wow wow wow to die for., followed by the plaice with impressive garnishes including fresh capers my wife had the pie of the day. Both dishes were excellent I only wish I lived near as we would eat there more often. Stayed after our meal for a game of snooker with a complimentary drink from the owner can’t wait to return Fantastic all round. Thank you

We loved the tapas choices and will definitely be coming back for more. Fantastic friendly service too 👏 😊

Genuinely one of the best meals I've eaten in Manchester! Between 3 of us, we shared 3 starters, the platter for 2, and a side of chips. Generous portions, delicate flavours, everything we ate was delicious. Excellent service. It was less than £45 a head with drinks, so amazing value as well. 100% would return!

Set menu. Food very plain. Could have been supermarket bought. Table 7, all did not feel food was nice or of quality. Portion size too big

Lovely food. Staff can't do enough for you. Great place.

Great experience, one of the best authentic-tasting Pizza's! Ended up finding this spot after seeing the many positive reviews and awards the location has won. It’s a cozy, family-run restaurant with a limited but perfectly curated menu. The staff are wonderful, the atmosphere is inviting, and the food is exceptional. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a great meal here, generous portions and good service, we'll be back

Service was 1st class food was superb and value for money 5* will be back

We went on a Sunday morning and there was an extremely long queue however it went very quickly and we were seated with 10 minutes, may be different if there's more than 3 of you. It's definitely worth it as the food is delicious!
