Five Manchester restaurants that deserve a Michelin star

Adam Reid has packed the menu with his own inventive creations.

Eat this: The peerless Tunworth cheese and broccoli custard, with truffle and offal.

This tiny hidden-away sushi place serves awe-inspiring food.

Eat this: The unagi (freshwater eel) takes days to prepare and is an absolute must-try.

Best steak in the whole city, no contest. Plus smoky cocktails to complete a perfect night.

Eat this: The bone marrow starter deserves a mention, but get the game-changing fillet steak.

Super chef Aiden Byrne’s tasting menu is as opulent and awe-inspiring as you’d expect.

Eat this: The duck breast with grilled blackberries and beetroot, or pigeon with a cherry sorbet.

One of the most glam venues in the city, serving impossibly fresh Pan Asian seafood and sushi.

Eat this: It has to be the crisp suckling pork belly with pineapple curry.
