Seasonal Guides
Time to wave goodbye to the season of festive gluttony and usher in a brave new era of healthier eating, clean living and pocket-friendly deals and offers. That’s right it’s January, arguably the grimmest month of the year but fear not, all the best food and drink emporiums in the North are going above and beyond to deliver some exciting treats to start off 2023.
Restaurant-wise, we have coverage of some superb places to dine through January – packed with healthy options if you want them, or the opposite if you’re a renegade, bucking the trend and living purely for pleasure. Whatever floats your boat. We’ve also included some of our detailed restaurant and bar guides, showcasing offers for the month, including Spinningfields, and even a vegan food in Manchester guide if you’d like to spend the month living green.
Until then stay out of the rain, preferably in a nice warm restaurant, pub or bar plucked from the list below. Here’s this month’s food and drink guide to Manchester and the North.

Cibus is about a lot more than pizza. The menu at this Italian restaurant offers up a host of dishes, from the top of the boot-shaped peninsula to the bottom. It has long been proclaimed as Levenshulme’s best restaurant and we fully agree.
