Manchester

Food and Drink

Summer is all about al-fresco dining. Here are some of the best areas in Manchester to sit out in the sun (fingers crossed) and enjoy a bite to eat and a cool drink.

Oxford Road

Oxford Road is home to Kro 2, which has one of the biggest outdoor spaces in the city, complete with heaters & covers for the cooler days. The menu includes Danish classics, and there’s everything from a light snack to a three course dinner. Pure Space sits just down Hulme Street near Oxford Road Station and combines the best food, drink, music, and atmosphere over its three floors. Its spectacular roof terrace is one of the main pulls and you might find it difficult to leave.
