We've compiled our list of the best restaurants in Manchester from the reviews submitted by our members.
Unlike other websites offering Manchester restaurant reviews, our questionnaire is more complex to compensate for those people who grade restaurants as either 10/10 or 1/10.
We also filter out reviews which we feel are not being honest or differ greatly from the experiences of our selected team of Trusted Reviewers.
Of course, all reviews are only a reflection of individual experiences and we would encourage you to submit a review of any restaurants you visit, so that we can ensure our list of Best Manchester Restaurants remains reflective.
