The best restaurants in North West

This bar is the best in Ashton. The cocktails are lovely and there is a really quality feel to the place. I don't get out a lot as I have a toddler, but if I could, I'd be there every weekend.

The family had breakfast here before our flight from Manchester. 10/10 in every aspect. We reserved a table in advance which was a good idea, the only table free at 10:-15 was our reserved table, the place had been open 15 minutes!! Delicious food, fantastic staff......say no more!!

We visited Kimi’s today and couldn’t recommend it enough, Gelato was delicious (I would definitely recommend the chocolate and honeycomb but all looked delicious). The lady behind the counter was so friendly and was really kind to our Labrador. Thank you! Would love to visit again for another ice cream when we are next in the area.

Just remembered I went in this coffee place based in the bus interchange in Rochdale ,handy if you are waiting for your bus or tram which is also adjacent to this bus station just across the road coffee is great . The thing about the coffee place I like that they decorated the middle table with what is in season eg ,easter mothers day nice to see

Buzzing modern Thai eatery in the Northern Quarter. The menu consists of mostly small plates. The kohlrabi salad had an interesting mix of peanut and fish sauce. The monkfish yellow curry was bursting with Thai flavours. Small pieces of monkfish were topped with slices of perfect scallops and prawns. I had some chicken rice with it. The rice was delicious )although some would have preferred a plain rice to not interfere with the curry.) The pickled and burnt gem lettuce was delicious too! I finished off with the coconut caramel which was a small cube with a delicate hint of tumeric. The service was efficient and the restaurant was buzzing with a large table of Thai customers enjoying themselves. I would definitely return! The bill came to £45 without alcohol. (The reservation required a £20 deposit.)

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.

I love this place for lunch , dinner or coffee and treats in the morning. The food never fails to be fresh and tasty. Everything is home made from the bread to the soup, nothing frozen all dazzling flavours. The service is efficient and friendly.

Mother’s Day Meal…. Nothing beats a family run authentic restaurant. They offered the mother a glass of bubbly complimentary to start with and overall service and setting was amazing. Food was delicious too. First time going and won’t be the last!!

This is my go-to place for breakfast. The staff are friendly, the food is good. What more do you need a review to say? I have the veggie breakfast and this establishment uses high-end veggie sausages that feel and taste like, well, sausages. I particularly like the fried haloumi that comes with it. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that it can get a bit noisy when the coffee machine kicks off.

This is a place we've used in other parts of Manchester, but the first visit here. It really is a smashing place right by the canal and in the heart of the action. As with the others, it has a brilliant range of beers brewed by their own brewery, and they serve very well. The area around it has developed beyond recognition and it was good in the winter so I imagine it would be even better in the summer.
