The best restaurants in North West

Simply awesome. Very nice rooms, large wet room bathroom, very helpful staff, breakfast was one of the best I've had in a long time and will certainly be recommending it to friends and family

Friendly local pub with great live music!

The food was awesome great service and a lovely place xx

Been going since I was in my teens. Lovely food, cosy setting and an authentic old style family owned business.

I stayed here from Sunday through to Tuesday. It did not rain. I did not hear or see an emergency vehicle. There was a fair bit of banter. I found this hotel's staff brilliantly individuals who work together to give great service when the curtain goes up. Photographs of my room show a clean well thought through offer, outstanding bed and bathroom linen. I love the modern take on the doormans chair , a sort of arm chair with a hood. I have seen a similar one near Exeter at chef Michael Caines manor house hotel. They originated from a Scottish design , I think. Plenty of marble and marble effect in the bathrooms. My room only had a shower, a very effective one too. I am too old to skid about in a bath. I thouroghly enjoyed a cooked breakfast here and Sunday lunch. I can find minor faults in certain aspects, but overall I really enjoyed my stay. It's in a great part of the city, great shopping and many very good places to eat and drink. I also went to Browns bistro round the corner, and to Moose cafe also nearby on York street. Manchester is untouristy on Monday and less so Tuesday. Museums are shut , the hop on hop off buses don't run. There are a few exceptions, the Central Library is open, Science and industry museum is open , though with a limited offer at the moment. On Mondays they both resemble creches with many running riot and having fun. It's a lovely diverse city, and has very much to offer. There are two free city bus routes. 1 and 2. Linking railway stations and the best parts of the city for a visitor And they run 7 days a week. The concierge at the hotel are fun, know their stuff , but perhaps not brilliant at imparting what you need to know. But jolly and kind and helpful. They will have to work on mind reading. I appreciated Nigel's help he is on the apprenticeship scheme. To me this is a perfect boutique hotel, small, private, genuine, authentic quality, with some brilliant dashes and sprinkles of passion and magic. I ate well , slept well, drank well and repeated that over 3 days.

Foodxalways delicious. Working our wat through the menu

Best chippy in the area by a mile. Clean, fresh, great staff, great owners and great food.

Very lovely restaurant with lovely people and fantastic food!! Service is incredible and has it own rewards app to save up points for rewards. If you are thinking of going, park on the Asda opposite, there is a council carpark on there to walk to, only about 3 minute walk.

Great fish and chips the best in town

Great English food for a Chinese chippy

Great staff and friendly hands on owner, good menu and selection of cakes etc. Tuna club sandwich is a must.

Absolutely banging Pad Thai. Portion size could of fed two! £13. Tasty and satisfying.

Just a cup of Cotado coffee. Nicely served

Just bought fish chips curry and peas for my parents from this chip shop and it was absolutely awful. Peas were undercooked like bullets, curry was fine, chips were dry but it was the fish which was just inedible. I have no idea what fish it was supposed to be but it definitely not fresh, nor was it cod or haddock. My 85 year old Dad asked for the fish and he described it as ‘revolting’. Hardly any fish inside the batter and the fish that was there was a funny colour. My family has been coming to Rainbow House for years but never again. Very disappointed. Photos attached.

Cracking place and quality food and lovely staff
