Manchester


One of the most beautiful restaurants in town is this newish and supremely elegant Chinese spot in Spinningfields. From the nautical-themed downstairs bar (dark-wood booths, hanging anchors) to the upstairs deck, where you can dine beneath a (fake) cherry tree, the decor is as stylish as the food is tasty; we loved the saffron miso black cod.
