The Best Restaurants in Manchester |
We've compiled our list of the
best restaurants in Manchester from the reviews submitted by Restaurants
Of Manchester's team of Trusted Reviewers.
Our Manchester restaurant reviews are conducted using a complex secret questionnaire with each restaurant
being reviewed on 100 different criteria. This takes into account the entire experience, as well as the food, service, decor, ambience and value-for-money.
Restaurants can not pay for positive reviews and we do not
show them the criteria they are being scored on.
Of course, all reviews are only a reflection of individual
experiences or specific visits and we're always looking for
more Trusted Reviewers to ensure our list of Best Manchester
Restaurants remains reflective.
If you are a well travelled foodie, and would like to become
