Manchester recommendations again
« on: September 24, 2008, 05:33:00 PM »
We're in Manchester starting tomorrow until Sunday.  Staying at the Macdonalds Manchester so near Piccadilly station, I think.  Does anyone have recommendations for the following:

- restaurants that serve vegetarians well (maybe Indian, Thai, that sort)

- day spas?

- nice place for tea / nice cafe

Thanks!

You might want to head into Rusholme for good indian food, you can eat pretty much anywhere on the curry mile, and most restaurants do veggie. There is a curryhouse in town called Shimla Pinks, near to the courthouse on Gartside Street (not sure exactly where...)

Spa Treatment...you can go to the Lowry Hotel (awesome) or to the Malmaison spa. I have been to both and the Lowry Spa is really really nice.

Coffee/Tea, well there are loads of places, Selfridges Food Hall, Harvey Nicks Food Hall, and the usual chains. Lots of places!

China town is a five - ten  minute walk from where you are staying, lots of great restaurants. It is just behind picadilly gardens, ask anyone and they will direct you. Really easy to find. I love the siam Orchid, for Thai food.

Also take a look at this link, i have heard earth is a good a little cafe so is the 8th day http://www.manchester.com/restaurants/cuisine/29/Vegetarian.html

I went to the Siam Orchid when I was up last week...fantastic red curry with tofu.
