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

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

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.

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

First time visit to what will be a my regular local. Warm welcomes from the staff and very attentive without being suffocating. The space is warm and intimate, nice interior. We ordered two garlic pizza breads, two mains and two glasses of wine = £62! You’ll spend double that in the city centre for food that isn’t as good in quality. I highly recommend the lasagne; the seasoning blend was mouth watering. Can’t wait to come back!

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.

We went here tonight for our son’s birthday, we booked online which was really simple and received a lovely welcome. The food was really tasty and the service was fab. Really friendly and quick service. We would all highly recommend. Give it a whirl! 😋

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.

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.

Had dinner here last night after receiving a gift voucher for Christmas, the food was absolutely fantastic the service was fantastic and the atmosphere was very laid back and friendly. Really impressed and will definitely be back it’s hard to find a good fresh fish restaurant! We had Tiger prawns and a bread board to start then we shared the tandoori monkfish and a whole lobster, some of the dishes came with garlic bread which was also delicious.

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.

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

I booked a night at the hotel and the rooms are excellent. Check in was simple and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Room decor is high end and it has all the extras you’d need, free Wi-Fi, parking, ironing board etc. The rooms are only accessible by stairs, I didn’t see a lift, so that could limit visitors with mobility issues. The bed was incredibly comfortable and a firm, great quality mattress, which was well received. I didn’t eat in the restaurant, so was unable to rate the food.

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

Wonderful Spanish restaurant in Heaton Moor. A great menu with most of your favourite tapas dishes. The food was really nice and hot when it was served. The staff were lovely. Would recommend.

Very welcoming with courteous, attentive staff. Food arrived in good time and was excellent. We had sizzling pollo and paella carne. Portions are quite generous.

Absolutely gorgeous food. The lamb stew melted in your mouth. The staff were so friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic menu, we had brunch. The choice was excellent and prices reasonable. I had sour dough toast,with bacon, sausage, ham, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce. The eggs were absolutely perfect. All ingredients, were high quality. The staff were friendly and polite. My friend paid (secretly), while I was chatting to the manager, I also paid secretly! Refund was giving with laughter, politeness. Very very welcoming place, will return.

We had the absolute pleasure of dining at this incredible restaurant, I can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, making us feel right at home. The food was exceptional—each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It was clear that the chef put a lot of care into every plate. But what made our night was the lovely staff, they were so attentive and truly made our dining experience memorable, and we can't wait to return!

i ate here last night with my 3 sisters, we were all very impressed, the food was excellent and lots of choice too .my personal favourite was the Japanese beef, very tasty . the small plates are a decent size and enough for 2 to share. it was also very welcome to find Cava on the menu instead of the usual bog standard prosecco. Elizabeth, our server was really good, attentive, helpful and pleasant (probably laughing at 4 old biddies working our way through all that food and drink:) ) i would highly recommend Eden and hope they do very well , they deserve it.

Nice addition to Heaton moor!! Good vibes, we would deffo go back! Portions are big, it suggested 2-3 plates each so we got two each plus fries and were stuffed. Could share 3 plates between two people. Dietary info clearly displayed. Would love if they started a cocktail menu.

Walking past this place it caught my eye and I thought why not try in here. I wasn’t disappointed. The service was brilliant from the time I walk in, and the food was delicious.

Had a fabulous evening relaxed atmosphere great staff and the tapas style menu was excellent and very filling! And of course the wine went down well in the beautiful quirky surroundings. Homemade Cakes looked gorgeous but I was too full!

Food so good I went back two nights in a row. Whilst the menu may be small and they only have three evenings a week that they're open, this was a great spot for an evening dinner with my partner. We had 6 small plates between us which was plenty of food. Portions are a good size and of good variety. Even 'simpler' dishes like the olives were excellent. The Sausage Roll, Sea Bass, and Goats Cheese were the standout dishes, although it's difficult to not list them all. It is a shame that we were one of two tables for the majority of our time, the other clearly being either friends of the owner, or the owner themselves. For a small venue it did suffer a little bit for a lack of energy that other diners would bring. The lady that served us was brilliant; she was very friendly, just the right amount of attentive, and created the best latte art I've seen in years, as well as a delicious cocktail. The only downside to the service was the staff member who was wearing a full tracksuit. I was surprised to find out he was staff when he asked how our food was. He seemed exceptionally unenthusiastic and spent much of his time vaping in the front entrance. Despite the other member of staff attending our table perfectly, it felt that he needed to ensure she was doing a good job by checking on us himself, twice. This is a place that I intend to regularly come back to for the food and drink, perhaps not too often though as it will be easy to exhaust all of the options they have on the menu. Perfect for someone visiting the town or looking for something new to try.

Lovely cafe with a nice sun trap at the back. Have had delicious things from the lunch and breakfast menu and was impressed with both. They have tasty salads and the coffee is good too. Will definitely return!

Visited for the first time today and really enjoyed the experience! The lime and blueberry drizzle cake was delicious and the coffee went downs treat with it. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and the atmosphere of the whole place felt warm and engaging. Loved the decor. Will be back again!

The Arden has a good reputation for it's food and deservedly so. £12.50 for a roast of this quality isn't common these days, and it's one that satisfies. The other options on the menu have never failed us either

Had visited over 5 years ago for food (excellent), and for drinks only 2 months ago (they don't serve food between 2 and 4.30). This time 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our range of mains & deserts. Service was great, the Dizzy Blonde fantastic, and didn't break the bank. Won't leave it as long next time.

We were very impressed with the food, the staff was lovely and attentive and the music played at that time was taking us back in time! And the toilets were clean and smelling nice. What more can you ask for! Thank you!

Excellent food, great range of drinks, and fantastic staff. Really good prices for Christmas meal.

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 👍

Lovely evening at the ‘Burbs celebrating our anniversary. Everything we ordered was delicious and we had great service from Roxy. She was really friendly and recommended an amazing creamy sausage tagliatelle special. We’ll definitely be back again - what a hidden gem!

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!!
