Glamorous

Glamorous restaurant is certainly that – a combination of Hong Kong-style super-restaurant and glitzy Vegas casino. This huge restaurant (it can cater for 600) opened its doors in June 2003 and although situated in the Wing Yip Business Centre and supermarket, it’s a separate entity. The main dining area is a huge, bright expanse – typical Hong Kong – with a floor-to-ceiling chandelier as centrepiece and a traditional Chinese wedding backdrop at one end and an open kitchen at the other. Here you can watch the meats being roasted and select live seafood direct from the tank. The food is predominantly Cantonese although other Chinese tastes are catered for. The wine list is big and helpful and if you’re going with a group it’s the perfect venue. In fact, the private room upstairs can accommodate as many as 250 and comes with dancefloor and DJ booth. ...more information

Moss Nook Restaurant

1 of 1
This gem of a French restaurant is tucked away near Manchester Airport and is a byword for excellent food. In business now for more than 30 years and with two AA rosettes, the Moss Nook relies on a rock-solid reputation which has never faltered over the years. Great fish menu, meats delicately sauced in the old-fashioned way and one of the best wine lists in the region at some 15 pages long. Choose from the a la carte or the 'surprise' tasting menu. Open for lunch (Tue-Fri) and dinner (Tue-Sat). ...more information

The Waggon At Birtle

1 of 1
The award of a Michelin Bib Gourmand in January 2007 was the latest accolade for The Waggon At Birtle on Bury and Rochdale Old Road. Chef proprietor David Watson came from a Michelin-starred background (ex-Pool Court in Leeds) and returned to his roots to open the Waggon with wife Lorraine in 2002. Housed in a former pub, the premises were completely refurbished to create a smart 50-cover bistro with a 25-cover function room above. The food is Modern British with a slight French influence but relies heavily on fresh local produce; hence dishes like the Tempura of Chadwick's Bury black pudding with Lancashire cheese, apple and bacon and mustard vinaigrette. The main a la carte menu (7 startes, 7 mains, 7 desserts) changes every three months whilst the good-value Market Menu is updated every fortnight. The wine list has a good choice of 50 bins with 12 by the glass plus a featured guest wine. ...more information
