 International ambience and all vegetarian |
115-117 Manchester Road Chorlton Manchester M21 9PG United Kingdom +44 161 881 9338 |
Formerly a Greek restaurant, this colorful bar aims to provide quality music, food and free entertainment with a global focus, such as themed Brazilian and American nights—to appeal to its much-traveled clientèle. Inside, the walls are white and the chairs are steel, while the low lighting adds to the intimate Mediterranean ambience—with the exception of the large screens showing MTV. There is an extensive all-vegetarian menu that includes a wide selection of salads, pasta and Greek-style dishes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Watercolours, sculptures and textiles |
Oxford Road Manchester M15 6ER United Kingdom +44 161 275 7450 |
The Whitworth was originally founded in 1898 and the University of Manchester took over responsibility for it in 1958. Within its pleasant, open-plan Scandinavian-style interior you will find collections of watercolours, textiles and wallpapers by internationally renowned British artists as well as contemporary and historic prints, drawings and paintings. In addition to these, there are sculptures to be found in a mezzanine court, and temporary exhibitions - often of a social or cultural flavour—are held throughout the year. If you fancy a coffee or a light meal, there is also an excellent cafe-bistro on site offering home-cooked food during the day. Review © 2007, Wcities |
