Living near NQ means I’m never more than a short stomp from something tasty. This is the scruffy little rotation I lean on for pre‑match feeds, post‑gig scran and Sunday hangover fixes. Nothing too poncey, just places that are always buzzing and rarely do you dirty… unless it’s with gravy or garlic butter 😂

1Hawksmoor ManchesterDeansgateBig steak nights and celebrationsIf I’ve actually been paid and City have won, this is where I pretend I’m a grown‑up. Steaks are unreal, martinis are lethal, and the room feels proper old‑school Manc sass in a suit.184-186 Deansgate, Manchester M3 3WBManchester
3Dishoom ManchesterSpinningfields sideLazy brunch and curry datesBacon naan for brekkie, black daal at night. Feels a bit fancy but still sound, and the chai keeps you going even after three pints too many the night before.36 Bridge Street, Manchester M3 3BTManchester
4The RefugeOxford Road / City CentreSharing plates and Sunday roastsYou walk in and it’s all tiles and high ceilings and you suddenly remember you own an iron. Class spot for roasts and small plates when you wanna impress without leaving town.Oxford Street, Manchester M60 7HAManchester
7Evuna Northern QuarterNorthern QuarterTapas and decent wineWhen I’m feeling a bit ‘continental’ but still skint, a few tapas and a glass (or three) of red here does the job. Cosy, candle‑lit, and the patatas never last more than a minute.79 Thomas Street, Manchester M4 1LQManchester
8This & That CafeNorthern Quarter backstreetsQuick curry and rice‑and‑threeNo frills, just boss curries. In, pile your plate high, out again before you’ve even finished moaning about the ref. Proper Manc institution this, keeps you full till the late kick‑off.3 Soap Street, Manchester M4 1EWManchester
