Barbakan Delicatessen

Ben Williams, Managing Editor
Barbakan Deli

This award-winning, continental bakery in Chorlton is simply the place to go if you’re in need of some delicious, freshly baked carbs or posh bits and pieces for the pantry.

A great spot for lunch, especially on Saturday’s when they fire-up their outdoor sausage pan, but veggies fear not, there are plenty of green options too. However, the star of the show is the fresh bread. We could easily recommend them all, but if we really have to pick, it’s a straight fight between the Chorlton Sourdough or the German Wurzlebrot. Honestly though, it’s all good, you really can’t screw this up.
