    This is quite an mpressive food hall! Lots of great options in case you're with a group and you want to be able to have different varieties. Great coffee spot and also the craft brewery has some really nice options. This is a social gathering spot and has lots of great energy.

    You can get quality, choice and quantity at Mackie Mayor, if you don't mind paying slightly more for the experience. MM is like a food-court-style restaurant, but the quality is far above the kind of food court you might be thinking of. From bao buns to steak sandwiches to pizza, from fish tacos to brunch to salads, this place has pretty much everything you might want. Basically, if your partner can't decide what they want for dinner or lunch... take them here. Everyone will be happy! But it's not just the choice - it's the quality, too. I had a sichuan chicken bao with pickled cucumbers and radish topping, served with Korean fried rice cakes and broccoli in a gochujang sauce on the side. I also had a beautiful fish taco with a spicy, fresh salad topping, roast cauliflower with flavours of sesame, soy and vinegar, and several lovely soft drinks. I probably spent £50 in total but for the amount I got, I was happy (I'm here to visit and I budgeted generously because I love food...) To finish it off, the cakes and brownies and cookies were beautifully buttery, interestingly flavoured and although I bought them to share, I really don't want to! I would recommend the sichuan chicken bao, the "save the bees" pizza (with chilli honey) and getting as many sides to share as you can manage, because they're all amazingly delicious and inventive. I loved this place and I'm quite sad we don't have an equivalent where I live!

    Heavenly goodness guacamole...

    If it wasn't for this recommendation, we wouldn't have found it on our own, I'd be cranky + starving, and this whole Manchester trip would have been all for nothing. It's a 10-15 min walk from the train station, tucked in an alleyway - so, bring a map if you're not a local (or have no WiFi cause you're a tourist and too cheap to buy it extra). Outside is nothing special (it was gray and raining, and I actually don't remember because I was hangry) - but enter - and your jaw will drop. This is an artsy industrial-hipster-haven food hall, with local and nearby carefully selected foods and beverages. You'll find great dishes/choices for every palette from around the globe with the various boutique-style food vendors. Everyone in your party will be quite happy. My party shared an amazing pizza from Honest crust (£12), and a few orders of fish and veggie tacos from Pico's tacos (£32). Don't forget to take some cool IG pics of your friends in the hall from the balcony above... ;) Mackie Mayor was the best part of the visit to Manchester. There, I said it.

    Great selection of food. Difficult to get a seat at the weekend so be prepared to wait.

    Good atmosphere. Food is also quite good. Service is slow and purchases are done on a website so be aware if you're over 40.

    If you're looking for fast food, or something quick and easy while shopping in Manchester, I…read morewouldn't blame you for choosing the Arndale Food Court, while it may not be the best in the world, it has multiple fast food brands all in one place, serving many different cuisines to find near enough something for everyone. Brands here include McDonald's, Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut Express and Chopstix Noodle Bar. While most the brands here and similar alternatives can be found elsewhere in the city centre, it's nice having them all in one place, suitable if you have people in your party who want different things, or just something simple hen sheltering from one of Manchester's rainy days, we see all too often. It can be accessed through stairs in the Arndale Shopping Centre, or escalators from Market Street. PRO TIP: If you're unable to find a seat in the main Food Court area, head down the stairs into the mall, and there is a seating area opposite Boots, which seems much quieter. It is mostly clean, but always does seem to be busy so isn't the most comfortable place in the world, but fits the job as far as a Food Court is concerned, but with Manchester's amazing dining scene, there's so much better elsewhere in the city for everything from burgers to pizza. 3*

    This place is absolutely horrible. I wish there was a zero stars option. Hoards of teenage scum…read moreswarming around in a greasy swirl of fast food making their already appalling acne even worse and transmitting it to everyone else. The place is jam-packed every time of day no matter what day. You can never get a seat and if you can the table will be covered in the old fried chicken or melted cheese from someone's pizza slice. I like KFC but this one is ruined by its surroundings. The pizza is sold in slices making it really expensive. KFC smells bad. McDonalds smells bad. Subway smells bad. All mingled together, they smell unbelievable appalling. Plus its boiling hot. So I'd rather sit on the end of a skewer.

    Selfridges Food Hall offers a moment of peace and quiet from the madness of the Traffic Centre. I…read moresay a moment rather than an hour because there's only a limited amount of seating and those lucky enough to get one tend to want to stay. The fact the seating is stools also makes it difficult to put your shopping bags anywhere. But still, if you're hungry and tired - Selfridges Food Hall is a great place to pop in for some fuel. Located on the top floor, there's a Yo Sushi! concession where you can get sushi, noodles and rice dishes, a Pret A Manger concession where you can get soup and hot and cold sandwiches, a Seaty Pretzel where you can get salads, juices, smoothies and pretzels and International Eat Over and Deluxe Traiteur Counters. The latter two offer a variety of hot and cold meals for you to eat in or take away from Indian, African and Middle Eastern curries, stews and rice dishes to English classics like beef wellington and smoked salmon and asparagus. Smile nicely at the staff and you might get seated quicker. If that doesn't work, try staring at the people that have been sat sipping a glass of wine for two hours!

    My favourite department store in the UK…read more Mum and I visited Manc back in May, before I finished Glasgow uni and we had a blast. We're both into shopping and love Haute Couture. Selfridge's has no shortage of all the latest brands and designers. Mum ended up picking out a new pair of shoes. Staff didn't complain about me vlogging either, lol. Would definitely love to come back through whenever I'm in the area.
