Explore the best restaurants and bars in Manchester’s Northern Quarter

Evuna is the place where you can share good memories and good food. The versatile menu invites you to enjoy a variety of Spanish tapas and wines from several regions of Spain allowing you to discover the country’s best. Among nibbles and side dishes, you’ll find mango cheese, Iberic jamon, crusty bread and many more. Or if you’re feeling hungry you can have a paella that serves two. If you’re thinking of catching up with your friends, there’s no better option than Evuna; the stylish interior will make you feel relaxed and beautifully presented dishes will keep your dopamine levels high. 

Are you looking for somewhere to go for an early-day treat? Trof is a restaurant famous for its delicious brunches (a drink and a dish for just £10 per person) and daily food specials (think one of the tastiest fish and chips you’ve ever had). Indulge in an avocado toast and lamb merguez shakshuka, then throw a cocktail into the mix if you have something to celebrate. Between 4 and 9 pm from Tuesday to Friday you can also enjoy the happy hour: the best way to relax after a day of work or pre-drinks before a night out. 

 The Black Dog is the place to be if you want to have a bit of fun regardless of the time of the day. New York bar inspired, the venue is a bar, a diner and a pool hall in one, so it’s  everything you want out of a day or night out. Join them for laid-back dining and if you do, make sure you try the bestseller loaded fries or one of the Asian dishes, then consider challenging your friends to a game of pool. On Wednesdays, you can rent a table for free as long as you purchase a drink, which makes it the perfect option for students who want to enjoy themselves midweek. Stop by for impromptu drinks and spontaneous adventures. 

You can never go wrong with pizza and Crazy Pedro’s menu options might be nothing like what you’ve tasted before. To give you a better idea of what to expect, our favourite is the triple X that comes with pepperoni, salami, chillies, mozzarella, agave and hot sauce. If spicy isn’t your thing, a safer option would be the S+P which is an imaginative combination of salt & pepper chicken, chips, spring onions, chillies, peppers and curry sauce that can be made vegan. Sounds good so far? If you can’t decide which one to go for, the good news is that you can get a slice of each for £3.5 If you ever get bored of the same old flavours, head to Pedro’s for a fun culinary ride and don’t forget to bring your friends.

Bottomless brunch isn’t just an opportunity to catch up with your friends, it’s also a whole different experience than simply going to a bar or a restaurant, especially since it allows you to enjoy limitless cocktails and drinks. If you head to Lost Cat for £29.50 per person, you can get 1.5 hours of as many drinks of your choice as you can handle and bottomless fried food, such as full English breakfast or truffle mushroom waffle fries. If you’re having a blast by the time your slot is finished, no worries, you can always stay for the happy hour and continue the fun. The venue is spread over two floors and you can expect a DJ to help you get into the party mood. If you come in on Thursday, there’ll be live music and Sundays are comedy nights.
