                The Best Restaurants in Manchester  | 
               
              
                 We've compiled our list of the
                  best restaurants in Manchester from the reviews submitted by  Restaurants
                    Of Manchester's team of Trusted Reviewers.   
                   
                   Our Manchester restaurant reviews are conducted using a complex secret questionnaire  with each restaurant
                    being reviewed on 100 different criteria. This takes into account the entire experience, as well as the food, service, decor, ambience and value-for-money.  
                   
                   Restaurants can not pay for positive reviews and we do not
                    show them the criteria they are being scored on.  
                   
                   Of course, all reviews are only a reflection of individual
                    experiences or specific visits and we're always looking for
                    more Trusted Reviewers to ensure our list of Best Manchester
                    Restaurants remains reflective.
