Manchester’s branch of Selfridges extends glossily back from Exchange Square, with wide glass windows on its street-facing front and polished floors inside. It’s home to designer brands and two different eateries – San Carlo Bottega on the second floor and Farmacia del Dolce on the lower ground. The former does Italian small plates, while the latter is a tempting sugar haven for weary shoppers.
