All of the Manchester city centre restaurants that are Buzzing To Be Back
The Manchester restaurant scene is alive and kicking again. Our city is #BuzzingToBeBack - and these are some of the venues you need to visit now that doors are reopen.
Door signs have spun back around. Pockets of furniture have reappeared on pavements. The air is thick with a thousand scents and soundsagain.
Manchester is back.
The local restaurant scene has finally come out of its induced coma – and our city is once again starting to look and feel like the place we know and love.
Granted, a few things are a little different.
Capacity is lower. Vigilance is higher. Hand gel is everywhere. And many venues have sent their seating plan sprawling right through the doors onto the roads outside.

Not every local eatery has found a way to reopen, and the businesses that have returned realise they’re running a tightrope. Times are still very, very tough – which is why restaurants are uniting in a rallying cry: Don’t be a no-show.
Diners that didn’t turn up for reservations cost hospitality a staggering £16bn last year. That’s a huge financial blow at any time. But in the current climate, it could prove to be a death knell.

That’s why The Manc is right behind local restaurants on their #NOMORENOSHOWS campaign – and to show our support, we spent last week welcoming back some of our city’s iconic food & drink venues.
One thing is crystal clear: They are absolutely Buzzing To Be Back.
Now, you need to take your pick which of these reopened venues you’d like to visit.

The grills are fired up, the beer pumps are full, and the fridges are freshly-stocked.

They’re back with a typically triumphant bang – serving many of their most popular pre-lockdown dishes with a defiant smile.

Loafi – The Ramsbottom bakery thrilling customers with its old-fashioned northern bakes
Daisy Jackson
There’s a bakery in Ramsbottom that’s been making waves since it opened last year – but it’s not for cutting-edge bakes or trendy desserts.
Nope – at Loafi, it’s all about stripping things back to basics, with a properly northern menu of old-school bakes.
The bakery may be new, but the baking is not. You’ll find nothing but traditional favourites, including Eccles cakes, shortbread, and cornflake tarts.
And then as your eyes rove across the counter, you’ll land on the star of the show, and the one that’s got everyone (us included) travelling all the way up to Ramsbottom. The custard tart.
Loafi’s custard tarts are tall, like a pastry shot glass filled with just-set egg custard filling.
You can get them classic, or in a Manchester tart format with coconut and raspberry jam, or catch occasional specials when they have surplus ingredients to spare (we got lucky with a lemon meringue custard tart).
None of us should be surprised to find that this bakery is excelling in this particular field, because the man behind it is chef-turned-baker Rich Sharples, who was previously the executive chef of Gary Usher’s Elite Bistros restaurant group.
The lemon meringue custard tart specialTraditional bakes from LoafiThe custard tart and Manchester tart
One of those restaurants he was a mastermind of was Hispi, which is known across the region for its perfect wibbly-wobbly custard tart slices.
The custard tart at Loafi feels more nostalgic and approachable though, and the stream of customers pouring through the doors clear each tray within minutes of them landing.
Beyond that, you can pick up a whole host of bakery bits with proudly northern roots, like individual loaf cakes made with Irwell Works stout, and mini carrot and walnut cakes.
There are others that will whisk you back to your childhood, such as a pineapple and brown butter upside-down cake, and a banana sponge with toffee and cream.
Plus expect treats such as bakewell slices, tiramisu roulade, and flapjacks.
A full spread of bakes at LoafiRich Sharples with the team outside LoafiA selection of butties at LoafiFresh loaves of bread
Loafi has a fabulous savoury offering too, like sausage rolls made with meat from Walmsley’s Butchers, and bacon butties on soft milk rolls.
Around four different sandwiches drop onto the counter at 11am every day, each of them guilt-free, fuss-free, and affordable. Rich believes that getting a butty for lunch shouldn’t feel like a special treat.
The fillings change regularly but are always local ingredients, prepared and made right in front of you, from cured hams and corned beef to coronation chicken.
During the weekday, you can get this as a meal deal with a sandwich drink and a bag of crisps for £7.95.
There are proper cups of soup served with a wedge of sourdough too, which changes regularly – at the minute, Rich is utilising the stock from his potted ham to make a ham, lentil and tomato soup.
Loafi isn’t setting out to reinvent the wheelhouse, but rather to wind back the clocks to create a nostalgic, quality, Lancashire bakehouse. It’s being incredibly well-received already.
You’ll find Loafi in Ramsbottom – just follow the call of the custard tart.
