8 new Manchester restaurants and bars that have opened in 2023 – including Stock Exchange Grill and Suki Suki
Here are some new places to check out next time you’re in Manchester city centre.
Less than six months into 2023 and there have already been some big changes to the Manchester restaurant scene.
While we may have lost some popular spots that are now sorely missed, such as the Northern Quarter’s Cocktail Beer Ramen + Bun and Sale Foodhall, we have also gained a whole host of new restaurants and bars.
Some of the most popular new editions include restaurant Higher Ground, from the team behind Flawd natural wine bar in Ancoats, Vnam, which took over V-Rev’s spot on Edge Street, Maki & Ramen and Home Contemporary Chinese.
Here are some of our other favourite newly-opened Manchester city centre restaurants and bars.
