The Best Restaurants in Barton Upon Irwell, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

What an experience! I don’t know where to start honestly everything was exceptional from the beginning to the end. The warm welcoming and extraordinary hospitality and kindness we received from the polite gentleman, Medo, this was really remarkable and made the experience even more special, he delivered the best service that makes you wanna go there again. The food was simply delicious! Everything was very well made and tasted great, thanks to the great chef she did well! Not a single flaw to mention. I would definitely go there again and again and would always recommend it as one of the few excellent authentic Syrian cuisines.

Excellent service food and authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Very clean (toilets included). The staff is friendly and polite. I strongly recommend

We were a family of 6 adults and dined here on a Saturday evening. Overall we enjoyed our visit. We shared a mixture of starters and mains and every dish was very tasty and well presented. Only small negative was that although they were not full the initial service to order and get drinks was slow but they did apologise. The prices are reasonable and the restaurant decor and cleanliness is good so we'd definitely return.

Amazing food, lunch deal was very well priced, fresh and very tasty. Customer service was fantastic, couldn’t do enough to help! Will be back again very soon

Excellent addition to Monton Road with a great steak selection and a straight forward menu, we have visited twice already and have enjoyed both times, the food is great and well presented. The pricing is also convenient, maybe just above average for the area but nothing of significance when compared to a similar quality steak house in the city centre. We will be visiting again and perhaps try some of the more premium cuts, but as an all round experience i highly rate this place.

Amazing food and service. Visited on a Saturday. We were 20 mins early but it wasn’t a problem. They took us to our table straightaway. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. We both had steak, ribeye and Texas cooked to perfection Starters were just enough so you don’t feel full too early The blood orange sorbet was 👌👌👌👌

Visited for a birthday dinner and tried the early bird menu which absolutely worth it. Great food with an equally great ambience and service to match. The only thing lacking was a varied dessert option. Other than that l, no complaints!

We had an incredible birthday meal at this steakhouse! The staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the meat and took the time to explain the different cuts. The starters were fantastic—BBQ beef ribs that practically fell off the bone and garlic king prawns bursting with flavor. The Chateaubriand was absolutely delicious and well worth the money, and the sauces paired perfectly. The sides were a hit too, with the chili tenderstem broccoli cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. The onion rings were a little basic, but everything else was outstanding. For dessert, the crème brûlée was like eating silk—such a smooth, indulgent treat. Definitely a place to return to for top-notch steak and fantastic service.

We’ve tried other Greek restaurants but this one tops all of them! Lovely food, staff are so friendly and welcoming, great atmosphere. Been today for Mothers Day. My dad came with us and he was very impressed too. A refreshing change to other places. Keep doing what you do!

Tried My Greek Street Food for the first time on Friday and already been back tonight we traveled from Warrington and couldn’t be any more impressed 😍😍 from a girl that’s travelled and tried many Gyros I must admit these are 12/10 !! Can’t wait to go back in a few days 😅🙈 & the staff are just amazing we are always greeted by the loveliest faces, Must Try !

Food was 10/10, fantastic atmosphere and amazing service. The BEST Greek place in Manchester, would 100% recommend!!!

Tried My Greek Street Food last night for the first time, and loved it! Excellent value for money, delicious, authentic, with friendly service from the staff preparing our food. Tried chicken, lamb and minced meat kebabs with Greek bread and chips... and will definitely be returning when we need a great meat fix.

It’s my second time dining here and I can tell you for a fact it’s a great spot. For food, ambience, everything!! Will be visiting again soon, I plan to taste their entire menu. Very affordable meals, gourmet style.

We only discovered this place the other day and have been twice so far. Excellent food, good value, and friendly service

Lovely spot to eat at on this stretch. Decoration is great inside very nice vibe to it. Staff very friendly and service was excellent, including a very nice manager. Food and drinks fair price. Food was a little disappointing as not the best flavour compared to some other places. Still a good place to come overall.

Had Fabulous Night Here Last Night Food Was Amazing Loved Every Bit Of It Staff So Friendly & Helpful The Live Singer Was So Good As Well 5 Starts All The Way

Great cocktail bar, went for food and drinks before a show, service was brilliant to start but as it got busier we weren't able to get attention of our server. When they were with us though really friendly, attentive and helpful! Food was brilliant and the cocktails are to die for! Amazing show cocktails, magic as they call it! Also gorgeous view of media city if you sit outside, perfect on a sunny day!

Came for my work's christmas party. I was initially very nervous as upon checking the allergens, I found out I was allergic to almost everything on the menu. The server and kitchen were very accommodating and I managed to order what I fancied with the kitchen making it allergen free. The aubergine curry was the best curry I've ever had! I got a colour changing mocktail that had great novelty value. I thought it tasted awful but my colleagues loved it, so don't take my word for it. The outdoor area is on the waterfront and has a wonderful view, as well as covering and heating for when it's cold. Definitely make sure you give this place a go

We had a lovely evening here. The menu is varied and the food was tasty. The service was good and the waiter had an excellent knowledge of the menu and the cocktails. Nice location, close to a tram stop.

Steven the General Manager was super helpful. It was great to see him mucking in and taking orders etc. Just how a GM should be. Miles was great and looked after us brilliantly. A brilliant bar, fabulous atmosphere and wonderful cocktails. Will definitely be back

Staying in Manchester for the night and we decided to find somewhere near but didn't fancy the centre. Gorgeous decor, really lovely staff and the food was amazing. I had a fillet that was cooked perfectly and my partner really enjoyed his carbonara. Unfortunately it was let slip that it was my birthday and they sang the song and gave me a complimentary scoop of vanilla with a candle but it was a lovely touch to the end of the meal. Thank you so much.

Our first visit here and it was well overdue. What a really nice place. The atmosphere is really cosy, it almost feels like you're part of the family. All the staff are really nice and friendly and there is plenty of them so there is minimum waiting time for them to come and see what it is you need. The food we had was amazing. We obviously had 3 courses and each dish was packed with flavours that will definitely be bringing us back. It was great to see Ray and was introduced to Aldo, honest lovely people.

Food was absolutely fantastic and service was very friendly and helpful

Me and my daughter came here just before Christmas. The service was excellent. The staff went above and beyond. Great service. We were only going to stay for one drink but the service was so good we decided to stay for a few more. There was a singer too. They had a cocktail menu but did offer to make any one we wanted even if it wasn't on the list. I gave the ingredients for a Disaronno Mistletoe which is one of my favourites. They made it to perfection. They even gave us snacks. Excellent service and we will definitely return. Thank you 😊

We love vintage ambiance. I used to visit here a lot a few years ago, but hadn’t visited again until recently and I was very surprised. Me and my family went for the first time again a few weeks ago and we have returned every weekend since. Their iced coffees are so delicious. We haven’t had chance to try too many of the breakfasts yet, but the pancakes and scrambled egg with chorizo are both gorgeous. The staff are lovely and friendly.

Perfect brunch spot with a beautiful interior. Excellent Bloody Mary, and the loaded waffles were delicious, shout out to the sausage patties. Great service and experience overall.

Our first visit and definitely won’t be our last! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing staff! Presentation is beautiful 😍 Thank you for a lovely birthday breakfast! 10/10 from us! See you again soon! X

Absolutely incredible experience and food. Having eaten in every restaurant in Monton there’s a reason Eden is spoken so highly of. Easy to book, exceptional welcome, food 10/10 and service to match. Will absolutely be back and recommend to everybody, also to note incredibly children friendly too

Today, my husband and I had a delightful lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The food was not only fresh but also incredibly delicious. The staff were exceptionally warm, welcoming, and attentive, making us feel completely at home. The atmosphere was charming, and the service was impeccable. We will most certainly be returning!

Nice little restaurant and good food, thought it was a bit pricey for what we got and as good as it was I've definitely had better Italians. It was dead when we went with no atmosphere and not the best service to be honest either. With that it's still worth a try but won't be in any hurry to rush back.

Just went for dinner here with my boyfriend and his parents. Had a lovely meal, good service and tasty food. Will definitely be going back!

If you like Mexican food, I guess this place is for you. Claim Halal certification by HFA, so use stunned chicken. Seafood Diabla was tasty but portion was on the small side. Desserts was nice.

Food and drinks are great. Staff are super friendly and caring. They have noticed I am pregnant, and reminded me some drinks will contain caffeine. Even if there is 2 for 1 offer on the mocktails, the drinks are still very good. Happy dinning experience. A must to be visited again.

Set inside the Trafford Centre downstairs in the Orient this resteraunt is a great place for Mexican food and to sit and people watch as they go about their business. I went with my daughter for a bottomless brunch so we had 2 hours to eat our way round Mexicos finest foods. The staff were great and advised us that if it gets too busy, the time would be extended, which was very nice of them. All the food was cooked to order and came out piping hot and tasted great.

Food is decent, quite flavourful to be fair, but portions aren’t great. Burrito was a lot smaller than expected. Service is good. Really good 2 for 1 offer on cocktails and mocktails as well!

Yet again, a fantastic meal at The Ivy! Fantastic service throughout from our server, amazingly tasty food. And honestly, it's not massively expensive... yes a little more than what you'd pay in a Spoons, but the food is top notch devine with a wonderful atmosphere and wonderful, personal service! It's our treat. You can pay less than £20 for a two course meal. Also, the App gave an amazing offer... double points... whoop! Thank you once again for an amazing experience.

I have visited The Ivy Spinningfields Manchester multiple times, and it remains one of my favorite spots. The service is always consistent, and the staff are welcoming and professional. The restaurant is well-known for its excellent reputation and elegant atmosphere. Their desserts are both luxurious and delicious. Their afternoon tea is among the best I’ve ever had. This place is truly exceptional, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Fantastic from start to finish. From the food which was faultless & very reasonably priced for the quality. The staff which are so friendly & welcoming, from the 2 gentleman at the door when you enter, welcoming staff front of house & servers, all are friendly & do what they can to make your visit as perfect as possible, especially a tall guy called Miltos. If you want a 5* experience at an average price, you will not be disappointed

Had the most delightful Sunday brunch here! Greeted warmly by the Roof Terrace hostess, set the scene for a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was exceptional, really delicious , which combined with 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 attentive service from George, made for a most enjoyable and sociable Sunday! Highly recommended! 👌👍😋💋xx
