	Bistro West 156 Bistro West 156 restaurant is a shining star in the thriving restaurant scene on Burton Road in Manchester’s West Didsbury, a quirky corner that’s a foodie heaven not all that far from where the M60 and the M56 part company. Bistro West 156’s pocket-friendly traditional cooking cuts out all the malarkey to deliver modern British cuisine, the real food that loyal fans adore. The rustic dining room with its granite topped tables, blackboard specials and changing local art displays sets a relaxed tone for easy lunches and suppers. While the food may be fine dining level, the ambience is bistro informal from terrific breakfasts right through to the last sip of dessert wine. Everything is homemade, and customer favourites include superbly cooked comfort classics like fish pie, chicken Kiev and Bistro West 156’s very own melting chocolate pudding. You will succumb. The warm welcome and tables outside entice you to linger. Cuisine: British Location: 156 Burton Road, West Didsbury, M20 1LH [Map]	via Toptable

	Choice Bar & Restaurant Voted one of the top ten places to dine by the riverside by the Sunday Times, you’ll find Choice tucked away in a corner of Castlefield. The look is smart - cream leather seating, burgundy carpet and the exposed brick walls of the warehouse it once was. A friendly place, it prides itself on excellent food, wine and staff. Favourite staples of the largely seasonal menu are cottage pie, and Cumbrian lamb with colcannon potato and garlic and rosemary sauce. Excellent daily fish specials. Unusually, you can chose your wine from the walk in wine fridge. Occasional live piano music makes for even more atmosphere. Best table for two is number 17, by the arched window. A genuine destination restaurant. Cuisine: British Location: Castle Quay, Castlefield, Manchester, M15 4NT [Map]	via Toptable

	Linen Set in Manchester’s very first luxury gaming, dining and music venue; Linen couldn’t be further from the typically cheesy Las Vegas-style restaurant you might expect. Beautifully designed, Linen is elegant and unpretentious with a sexy, boudoir feel thanks to gorgeous wallpaper and monochrome furniture. The food here is of an exceptionally high quality, changing monthly to reflect the seasons and fusing traditional British ingredients with international ideas to produce a mouth watering selection of dishes which will impress any food fanatic. We love the chilli beef noodle salad; the loin of venison with sherry and honey dressing; and their pecan tart – ideally washed down by one of their decadent dessert cocktails.

	Mr Thomas's Chop House The New York Times referred to Mr Thomas’s Chop House as ‘probably Manchester’s most venerable pub’. It’s quite something to live up to but, judging by the popularity of this historic pub, the Mr Thomas’s team aren’t struggling to manage. Established in 1867 this historic spot is full of charm and atmosphere, with tiled floors and dark wood bar harking back to Victorian times and the down to earth staff reminding punters exactly what good pub service is too. Offering typically British food, created using the best local ingredients, Mr Thomas’s is a study in modern UK dining – the old favourites from mother’s table are all there, true comfort food with a dash of sophistication and a pint of excellent real ale to wash it down too.

	Sam’s Chop House A long time Manchester institution, Sam’s Chop House led the way for new gastropubs in the North West. As much a local icon as a Gallagher or a City player, Sam’s is built on good old fashioned Northern charm with a little splash of Dickensian style thrown in for good measure. Victorian-esque caricatures of the locals adorn panelled walls, the furnishings are straight out of an old-school pub and the atmosphere is ten times as warm and welcoming as you could ever expect from any other city centre bar, a locals spot where everyone is invited to join the party. Seasonal, made to order dishes reflect the best of the region’s produce – Sam’s Chop House is serious about good British food – while an impressive wine list and even an in house ale completes the picture of the perfect pub-restaurant.

	The Galleon Café and Lounge Set on the banks of the River Mersey in Didsbury, just a few miles outside Manchester, the modern, open-plan Waterside Hotel is home to the Galleon Café where all sizes of appetites are catered for. If you’re just after a snack, there are tasty wraps and rolls like the chargrilled steak and caramelised onion ciabatta or the chicken Caesar wrap, and small plates like the satay chicken, Greek salad or nachos. Hungrier guests can have a sturdy 8oz burger with fat chips or wild mushroom and leek fusilli. This is a good place for families, with some great “real food” for kids, from grilled breast of chicken with mash and peas to sliced seasonal melon with winter berries. There’s also a generously-portioned traditional Sunday lunch and unless you’re a member of the on-site Galleon Leisure Club, you needn’t feel under pressure to burn off the calories afterwards.

	The O Bar Think Opus and you probably think large night out in true Manchester style. Well step away from the turntable, take your hands out of the air and pack up your knife and fork. The O Bar combines club style with a whole world of foodie ideas. With retro-inspired orange, cream and black leather and just-this-side-of-seventies wood panelling The O Bar's style is vintage chic meets totally noughties. Comfortable but clubby. The menu meanwhile takes a whistle stop tour of the World’s cuisine, mezze to dim sum, Scottish salmon to Mediterranean vegetables. If that’s enough to make you feel like dancing you only need pop next door. Cuisine: British Location: Opus Manchester, The Printworks, Withy Grove, Manchester, M4 2BS [Map]	via Toptable
