Been meaning to put something like this up for a while, my latest post on Chunky Chicken has forced my hand.
Any recommendations for decent places to eat or drink, stick them in here.
Doesn't have to be just SK3 or Stockport either, anywhere you've been (or seen) that looks decent.

leicesterhatter will back me on this, Zaxxfried is the king of fried chicken. Main place is in Chorlton but they’ve got a collection point in Ardwick as well now serving the city centre, possibly a bit of Levenshulme too. It’s outrageously good. My Deliveroo order history to there is shameful. http://instagram.com/p/CnPHhDNIic6

Manchester -
Sugo - fantastic scicilian pasta place, chilled out and informal too (like most places these days tbh). Think their first location was Altrincham Rudys - still the #1 pizza place years later. Though others have caught up a lot now (see black spot below). Dishoom - oppulant Indian restaraunt in a stunning building. Specialise in the 'british Indian' style. Cocktail Beer Ramen & Bun - cool place in the northern quarter. Best ramen in town. The Sparrows - Bit of a mad place this. In a railway arch near the green quarter. Amazing polish dumplings and pasta 10 Tib Lane - Same people who do CBRB, this is more of a fine dining place but still cool like CBRB. Dead relaxed atmosphere in there. Bar is cracking downstairs too San Carlo - Everyone knows it. Seems to be a go to place when you're celebrating. Classic Italian food done superbly and a massive menu with always great service. What's not to love (except the price ha). Australasia - Asian food with a seafood emphasis and australian wines. Not been for a good few years now but it's always been banging every time i've been Street Urchin - Independant seafood restaraunt near Ancoats. Awesome.
Stockport -
Don't really get to Stockport much outside of County but everyone tells me it's got some decent restaraunts now. The only one I go to is the pizza place in Heaton Mersey called Blackspot, it's absolutely superb and the only one that can hold a candle to Rudys. It also has Tiny Rebel on draught which is a massive plus.

Baekdu the Korean place in what was Jack Horners is also excellent in Stockport.

Went to North Brew CO’s taproom in circle square last weekend. Really good selection of beers on. The bao buns were ace as well.
Also paid a visit to SureShot and Sandbar both of which were excellent as ever.
Checking out Mekong Cat for the first time next Thursday, so looking forward to that.

I like Rudy's, but much prefer a dirty American pie style pizza.

Also can't have this thread without mentioning County HQ, Notion. Hands down the best place in Stockport for a late night blackout.

Had an amazing pizza in Common in the NQ over xmas. I'd never had Burrata cheese prior to that, but now a massive convert.
I'm not much of a foodie though, generally. It's pretty much just fuel for me.

Can highly recommend Viet Shack, Canto and Six by Nico as well for grub in town.

Only been to Sand Bar once in about 15 years. Used to go in several times a week at uni, my ex was on the Fashion course at All Saints park and they all used to go and express themselves in there. Glad to hear it's still going. Rarely venture into town now but when I do I tend to go to Gullivers or Track and Alphabet tap rooms. Have quite enjoyed the terrace at Yes during the day but I'm too old/fat/bald to go in there regularly now.

Was 2018 when I went so might have sorted itself out now but felt robbed when I went. There's a Portuguese in Sale called Petisco which I'd bet is way better. Sale is great for food now. Was always a bland suburb but one of the best spots in the whole of Manchester now for food. Sugo, Petisco, Rudy's, Greens, Blanchflower, Zumuku sushi all within a couple of mins of each other then Cowtown Grill a bit further out for burgers, poutine and wings.

There's two on the market itself that are just great: Bun & Bones Club who used to be (and will soon again be) based in Hazel Grove are currently doing food at Doctor Feelgood; amazing burgers/fries/etc Kambuja in the Produce Hall does really good Cambodian food
