Where to Eat & Drink in Altrincham, Manchester 2026

You'll want to head straight for Dadar. It's been the top spot for 25 consecutive weeks, and there's a good reason for that kind of consistency. They just do things right, every single time, making it a reliable choice for a proper meal.

HARCOURT 夏𢡱 does cocktails properly and the room's got energy, but you'll pay €14 a drink for it. You want a proper pub instead? Walk into Kennedy's Irish Bar or Griffin, order your pint (€5.50, decent pour), and you'll actually hear the person next to you talk.

You'll find a good mix here. Indian is strong with Dadar and Jadugar, and Gharrana. Italian is well-represented by RIGATONI'S Altrincham, Damo Altrincham, Bar Etna, and Coco's Restaurant. There's also Brazilian at Jardim Rodizio Grill, Korean at Memories Cafe Bar, and Spanish tapas at Porta Tapas Bar.

Jadugar works if you want to eat without feeling like you're being watched. It's relaxed enough that you won't spend the whole night adjusting your cutlery (though it's still proper). But if you want actual energy without losing the intimacy, RIGATONI'S Altrincham is where you go for Italian that doesn't apologise. The pasta's got weight to it, the room's got buzz, and you'll actually want to stay past 10. Start the night at HARCOURT 夏𢡱 for drinks. You'll need the momentum before you eat.

For a quick, satisfying bite, Toast is great for breakfast or lunch, with meals usually under £7. Bunzy Burgers gives you a lot for your money, with burgers typically around £10-£15. Griffin also offers decent pub food at reasonable prices, making it a good shout for a casual, affordable meal.

This month saw some good upward movement. HARCOURT 夏𢡱 climbed 2 spots to #2, Griffin jumped 2 places to #4, and RIGATONI'S Altrincham made a strong move, up 5 spots to #5. Memories Cafe Bar moved up 2 spots, and Coco's Restaurant advanced by 1 place. No new entries this time, but plenty of shifting around.
