Restrictions on hospitality are being eased so it’s time to look at the best Manchester restaurants reopening after lockdown this July. In all cases, you can find out more details about the restaurant itself and the booking system by clicking through to the review and scrolling down for the link to the restaurant’s website. Here’s where you’ll find all the relevant information.
It’s been three-and-a-bit long, boring months since we were last allowed to set foot inside a restaurant in Manchester. Thankfully, the worst of the crisis has passed and as a nation we’ve worked out ways to deal with it and protect the most vulnerable. Obviously, if you’re classed as vulnerable, either through age or illness, you need to wait things out a little longer, but if you’re healthy there should be little to worry about, providing you take measures to protect both yourself and others.

And that’s precisely what Manchester’s restaurants are doing. Track and trace measures are being employed across the sector, and other measures to make sure safety is paramount. At long last we can see restaurants reopening and it’s vital for the industry that we show our support and help the people that make up the most enjoyable aspects of our night (and day) time economy. Here are some of the restaurants we recommend most highly and that we can confirm will be opening this July, or shortly after.
