Food Scene

Best Spanish restaurant in Manchester and my favourite in the city. They combine tasty food, great wine or beer and the most friendly service you will get. It is a must go, but should try booking before due to high local demand.

A secret small treasure. The oldest 'public' library in the UK. Well worth a visit. Make sure you find out when the tours are. You cannot enter the property without a guide since it is also a functioning music school. The building and small grounds are picturesque. Interior takes you back in time to the middle ages. Well restored.

Quirky local pub with a weird funny decoration. Decent beer selection and a very European feel on the outskirts of the Northern Quarter. The backyard is a great beer garden in the summer.

Live music from rock to reggae and folk, with a cafe/bar and box office in a former cinema space. The venue offers a range of music; to qualify is more about musicianship than the gene. However, jazz blues and world music are showcased. It's run as a cooperative and supports educational programmes for adults and children. It includes a bar with excellent beer. The food range is limited and simple but tasty
