Chorlton FAQs
Right now, it's Shogun Ramen and Bar. They've hit #1 for a reason. Go for their tonkotsu ramen; it’s rich, flavourful, and exactly what you need after a long day. You won't regret it.
For cocktails that actually taste like they were made by someone who cares, head to The Jane Eyre - Chorlton. If you prefer a proper pub atmosphere with a good selection of craft beers, The Garden Bar, Chorlton, or Dulcimer on Wilbraham Road are your best bets. Expect to pay £5-£6 for a pint.
You've got a decent spread. Japanese is strong with Shogun Ramen and Yane. Then there's serious Jamaican food at The Drop Bar Restaurant, and plenty of Indian options like Coriander Restaurant or Delhi Chaat N Cafe. You can also find Nepalese momos at Momo Shop.
Absolutely. Yane works well for a quieter, more intimate meal with excellent Japanese dishes. For drinks, The Jane Eyre - Chorlton has a sophisticated but relaxed feel that's perfect for conversation. Barok also offers a good atmosphere for a dinner date.
For good value that doesn't skimp on flavour, check out Delhi Chaat N Cafe for Indian street food; you can eat well for under £15. Momo Shop also offers substantial Nepalese dishes for a similar price point. You won't leave hungry.
Shogun Ramen and Bar made a big jump to #1, a new peak for them. Dulcimer saw a massive climb up 70 places to #6, a huge mover this month. Royal Oak and Strange Brew also hit new peak positions, so people are definitely finding new favourites.
