Quote: Uncle Rico "Which part of town are you thinking of where does your train come in Deansgate/Oxford Road/ Piccadilly or Victoria? The Printworks and Corn Exchange mentioned earlier are good shouts but best from Victoria.
If you are central and fancy a traditional pub one of my fave's is Sam's Chop House try the Corned Beef Hash or Steak Pudding it's 'sister' pub Toms Chop House is on Cross St and if it's fine they have outdoor seating at the rear off St Ann's Square.
Piccadilly is handy for the top end of the Northern Quarter some great bars with craft beers never eaten over there pub wise but there'll be plenty of choice including a few great 'Indians' a rice plus three (curries) £5/£6 Al Faisal, This and That, Yagdar, highly recommended by hungry Horace Uncle Rico worth a google or PM for directions
Have a great day'"
Yeah some nice eateries in the NQ. Pie & Ale and its sister restaurant the Bakerie have some nice meals, Koffee Pot does a nice breakfast but will be busy on a Saturday, El Capo does an amazing chilli! SoLita has some splendid burgers!
