The Best Restaurants in Heaton Chapel, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Food is sensational. Semi-open kitchen gives great confidence. Service, brilliant. One of the best meals I've ever had. EDIT: And, another fantastic meal at EF. Seafood platter, this time. Preceded by oystersat a small bite, and stafters of Cod cheeks & Makerel. Never disappoints.

Enjoyed a mixture of dishes from the lunch menu consisting of small and large plates, and the specials of the day, brown crab rarebit and skate wing. Everything we ordered were skillfully cooked and delicious. The courgette fritters we didn't expect it to be with chilli flakes, but it was tasty if you like a hint of heat. Recommend the mussels and blanchbait too!

Absolutely beautiful food from a busy professional kitchen. Excellent service too. The nicest meal we've had for a long time. Thank you

Excellent choice, very lucky to get a walk-in booking on a Saturday afternoon, we chose from the lunchtime menu, a range of dishes at £16 each, this is slightly more than your local, however, the food is exceptional, the restaurant presents as a cafe to the rear of the Fishmonger, however, it has the feel of a Ramsey kitchen, very clean, professional and fresh, this is our second visit, I would be tempted to try from the specials menu as these change, seasonally.. or maybe daily? It was Skate Wing, however for lunch, it seemed much.. but certainly, for the evening meal it looked like a great option, Battered Fish and Chips looked great too.

First time trying here and it’s safe to say it’s now our favourite Italian in the area! Interior, vibe and service were all amazing and the food was incredible. I will 100% be coming back for the lasagne which was probably the best I have had in a restaurant. Also very reasonably priced. Very happy to have found this gem!

I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. The atmosphere was positive, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The pizza and pasta were both delicious and served warm. I also enjoyed a delightful dessert. Everything was perfect! The dishes were served promptly, without any delays, and the prices were very reasonable.

Brought my family to this place and was stunned by the great service. Food looks very good and taste good, with a great price! It might be a little salty to some people like us, like Asians. But overall we had a great dinner here, highly recommended.

Just had my birthday dinner here with my family; the food was absolutely amazing and the staff were very attentive, friendly, and quick to help. I'll definitely be back. Didnt get photos of the starters or mains as we dug straight in but managed to hold back on the desserts! Only marked down the atmosphere as the table behind us had 2 screaming children that didn't stop for the 2 hours we were there, after a certain point a polite mention of it to the parents would be worthwhile

We recently visited Tara & Mare Italian Restaurant and were thoroughly impressed! It’s such a family-friendly spot, with thoughtful touches like colouring activities for our daughter. They even display the kids’ artwork, which made her feel so special and added a lovely personal touch to the experience. The customer service was outstanding—attentive, warm, and welcoming throughout. As for the food, it was exceptional. The risotto was beautifully cooked, and the Fillet Steak Rossini was absolutely divine—easily my favorite dish! Tara & Mare is a perfect place for a family meal or a special evening out. Highly recommended

Great staff and top quality food. We celebrated a birthday here and the staff looked after every member of out party, it was a relaxed service so no need to rush, the food was top quality and generous portions. One member couldn't finish the dush as it was very filling and the owner cane to ask if everything was ok, he was relieved to find out it was the portion size not the quality.

Came here for a date night meal with my boyfriend yesterday, and it was amazing! The service was top notch, the new waiter Joe in particular was very friendly and attentive. From start to finish, incredible experience, really delicious food and perfect atmosphere, lovely cosy little intimate restaurant. Lots of veggie, meat and fish options, I had the lobster ravioli which was super tasty. Owner was also very welcoming, made us feel right at home. Can’t wait to visit again! Thanks! x

"Magnifico! A True Gem of Italian Cuisine" "From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported to the heart of Italy. The ambiance is incredibly cozy and inviting, perfect for a romantic dinner. The service was impeccable – fast, efficient, and the staff were incredibly friendly and professional. We were blown away by the authenticity of the dishes, clearly prepared by experienced Italian chefs. Every bite was a symphony of flavors. And to top it all off, the prices were surprisingly affordable. This restaurant is a hidden gem and we highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates delicious, authentic Italian food and vegan options also available. We can't wait to return!

I visited here a couple of weeks ago for lunch with my dad and a good friend. We had a lovely, but somewhat pricey meal. But would still dine here again as it was a great experience 👍 Service was fab; the Scottish waitress was a credit to the business. Food was well presented and tasty, but a bit on the expensive side. Restaurant inside was impressively decorated, clean and well looked-after. The restaurant is well situated on the corner of Shaw road, with plenty of on-street parking around and good transport links. We had starters of ribs, Caesar salad and pate. And seabass with 2 different pizzas for mains. All the food was great 👍 My only constructive feedback would be the need for a lunch menu, as paying dinner service prices at midday is probably why it was dead inside. So staff were standing around which isn't a good luck. We only went in to try something different 😊 A 2 courses for 14.95 offer would be much appreciated if at all possible. Apart from that my compliments to the chef and the waitress. Keep up the great work ❤️

Lovely decor, great food and staff are very attentive. The prices are reasonable. The pornstar martinis were great. The food had a lot of flavour and good sized portions. The manager was lovely. Overall would really recommend.

We enjoyed the food here. The staff are all Spanish, which was a good sign. The restaurant is small and you might struggle to find a table at busy times. The tapas ranged from excellent to ok - which is the only reason for not awarding the full five stars. There were plenty of appealing dishes in the menu, plus daily specials, that we could have ordered. Highlights were the croquettes and the churos. Overall, it was a good experience.

Very tasty tacos plus roesmary garlic bread. Very busy restaurant. Staff were very friendly and hpful.

First ever visit to this small tapas restaurant. Four of us plus Madge reserved a post cinema table. Shared a bottle of wine and several dishes. All very good from calamari, ribs, meatballs, chicken to salad, tortilla, goat cheese balls, patatas bravas and bread. About £75. Toilets up some steep steps. Some outdoor seating in front but no use on a typical August bank holiday Sunday.

Nipped in after a visit to the Cork of the North wine bar. The restaurant was bustling and lively Ordered a sharing platter to start and some tapas to follow. All of the food was excellent, the staff attentive and helpful. They provided some great tips on the what was in the platter against our tapas choices. Overall more than happy to recommend and I'm keen to go back.

Absolutely fantastic food and brilliant service. We visited this evening and the staff were absolutely fantastic and incredibly welcoming from start to finish. Every dish was absolutely delicious, especially the rump steak. Really recommend this spot and can’t wait to return 🥰 I recently also had the roast as well as the new menu and it was just as incredible!

Visited The Burbs Restaurant on Sunday and got the roast dinner and a cheesy garlic bread. Both were great portions, cooked to perfection and nicely presented. Really enjoyed it and was full up for the rest of the day!!

Food was fantastic, great to share dishes amongst the group. The sausage pasta and steak were both excellent.. service was top notch

Just had Sunday tapas at the Burbs staff really friendly,food excellent,first time and we will go back well 👍

The steak is excellent. I had the 30-day 9oz rump (so towards the lower end of the price range), cooked rare, and it was fantastic. Together with the beef dripping sauce and seasoned fries, it was a winning combination. So just goes to show you don't need to spend a fortune. The service was also excellent - they have obviously tried hard to make it an experience and the interior is warm and spacious. The only gripes were that we were waiting for around 5 minutes at the front desk on arrival - and passed several times without an acknowledgement - which did not get us off to a good start. However, all staff were very polite and professional, and our waiter was particularly attentive and I would go as far as to say an asset to the establishment. The sign outside about dress code, and reiterated when booking online, makes a little bit too much of a point - which inadvertantly sends the wrong message I fear. The ambience and class of the place, and of the food, should be the focus and able to speak for itself no matter what customers choose to wear. A note to the management - if it feels special, customers will of course dress accordingly!

Lovely meal . Dawn was our waitress she was fantastic it was our first experience at miller and carter and she went over the menu with us and made some great recommendations. Dawn was really helpful friendly and attentive

Such a stunning restaurant, warm and inviting. We had the Sunday Sharing Platter which was huge and had everything we wanted. Denise, our server was lovely and friendly and gave us detailed information about what we were ordering. We will definitely be returning as there is plenty more on the menu we want to try.

We were served by the lovely dawn, who took our order and recommended how to have our steak cooked. She was super friendly and checked up to make sure everything was ok! The food was perfect as always, Dawn made our experience very positive and makes us want to come back!

This was my third time at La Capilla and it was amazing as usual. The food is delicious and the portions were huge. We had the special, which was loaded nachos (with chicken) and it was incredible. I had the beef salad bowl and again, tasted amazing and a massive portion size. Definitely recommend a portion of the Chicarones (pork scratchings) and plain nachos as a side/starter.

Really good food and margaritas. Service was good and the place overall is very nice and pleasant. Been couple of times already and would definitely go back again soon.

Really lovely lunch - we ordered three plates of tacos shared between 3 and it was all delicious. Super friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Lovely time thanks.

Very conveniently located in the historic market square - lovely Mexican food, plenty of vegan options, great service and a chance to win free tequila! We’ll definitely be back.

Amazing place and venue. Staff really friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Tacos were lovely and one of the best spicy Margaritas I have ever had ! Definitely going again !

Atmosphere was through the roof, service was impeccable and really lovely and the food was banging. We went on a cantina evening, the new dishes were delectable whilst the usual dishes were great as ever. Defo would recommend!!

Discovered this hidden gem while looking for a light lunch. We came with a dog, which was welcome on the curbside veranda. There are outside heaters, which were very welcome end of October, we'll make for the inside next time. Menu looks great, particularly impressed with the selection of drinks and cocktails and the fact there is actually Bermuda rum in the Dark & Stormy. Service was prompt and attentive. We had Tortilla chips with a delicious trio of salsas Chipotle black beans, which were scrumptious Smoky mushroom Tacos, very unusual, I liked them but a step too far for my daughter, who buried herself in Birria Tacos, which were excellent and she felt rivalled her favourite Don Taco's. In summary, we'll be back, definitely for Taco Tuesdays and after the sun is over the yard arm with serious intent for the cocktails.

Absolutely love this little gem. Always delightful friendly service, amazing tasty food and fun relaxed atmosphere. Great to pop in even for a drink at the bar with some light bites!

Spot on no complaints at all, luckily was 1 table free which me & my friend took, usually need to reserve for a good reason, people go back as will I 👌

Headed in to this beautiful Italian last night for a quick stop. Amazing service and prompt, delicious Carbonara, creamy and flavorsome! Really clean restaurant and chef was chatty and really friendly. Superb all around my friend had a pizzas which was really good. Would defiantly recommend to family and friends and will be returning ! Cheers Guys!

Lovely atmosphere, fab customer service , reasonably priced. Loved that there is an option to have the pasta dishes as a starter ! Will be back !
