Eating out in the North West: Manchester

The north west of the United Kingdom has some great hospitality services and has some fantastic places to wine and dine. I have been fortunate enough to visit the North of England a few times in my life and I have stopped in at a variety of different places. However there are only a few eateries that have really stuck in my mind as being restaurant, dining experiences that you have to experience.

Manchester Restaurants have always had a certain appeal. The city of Manchester is one of the biggest cities in the UK and there are a lot of people that need some thing to eat. Therefore there are restaurants, bars and other hospitality services aplently so whatever you need you will be able to find it in Manchester.

Three of my top restaurants in Manchester include the following:

Part of the Ramada hotel, Stresa can be found in the Salford Quays part of Manchester. The restaurant has a contemporary look with bright and comfortable surroundings. I remember visiting this restaurant when I was on a business trip in Greater Manchester. I had set up the business dinner to meet with a marketing consultant and the impression the resturant gave was great and then the food arrived. My marketing friend thought that marketing this place to the public would be easy, as we had both been sold by our starters and the selection of good wines. Stresa is an Italian restaurant that gets a lot of ingredients from the Lancashire area to make sure that the ingredients you get on your plate are fresh and tasty.

Having always been a fan of seafood and sushi, I was delighted when I walked into the New Samsi Manchester restaurants. It is a Japanese restaurant that I have seen on Richard and Judy on Channel 4 and has been called the best place for Japanese food in the North West. New Samsi is a truly amazing restaurant that must be experienced. They have also recently opened a New Samsi Express in the centre of Manchester.

There is a restaurant called Rhubarb that is situated in Didsbury, Manchester is another fine restaurant. The Rhubarb restaurant Manchester has been featured in both the Michelin and Hardens food guides for their contemporary and eclectic food. The suprising thing about this restaurant is how quaint and how personal it is. The restaurant is managed and run by husband and wife team Mark & Lisa Ramsden which gives it a homely feel with excellent service.
