Corn Exchange Manchester

Called here Good Friday afternoon, had a drink at the Garten Bar and a meal at Pho. Stunning old building well repurposed with a great choice of food outlets.

Vibrant area with plenty of restaurants. Arndale centre towers adjacent to the corn exchange which does not have a dedicated car park. Parking can be a nightmare for first timers. The adjacent shopping malls offer paid parking at a premium so allow some time to navigate the maze of road works, one way streets and the short walk to your destination.

I really only go to Mowgli and the cocktail bar in the middle and I absolutely love both. Mowgli has a great selection of food including vegetarian and gluten free options and the cocktail bar has 2 for 1; cocktail all day everyday. What is not to like about them. A bit pricey, but it is the centre of Manchester.

Lots of nice food places to choose from here. I've tried a handful and never been disappointed. Nice place of town too, nice and clean, good tram links. Even some Christmas markets there too. Worth a walk around in summer as well as winter

Great space to have a good lunch or meet up. Excellent selection of restaurants. I particularly liked the main dome, still preserved from the old building. As a visitor, i nearly didn't go in, as few signs to say what the building was all about. But glad i ventured in.
