Another month, another host of new openings are ushered in across the city, just as thoughts begin to tentatively turn to outside drinks and - let's try not to jinx it - sunshine. There's a wealth of stuff going on, from excellent new brunch spots to Greek street food. And who doesn't love a gyro?
So here we go...
Suki Suki
Suki Suki has just opened under the arches of the Great Northern Warehouse on Deansgate, delivering spectacular wings, bao buns and beers. Stop by for a snack and a drink in the window bar, or head upstairs for a sit-down for a steaming bowl of tonkotsu ramen. And ready for the summer, there’s a terrace at the back too.

Pelican
The crew behind the superb Squawk brewery will be taking up the bar originally opened up by Beatnikz Republic on the corner of Tariff Street and Dale Street, and - appropriately - calling it Pelican. They’ll be able to show off their own superlative brews, and support other local beermakers too.

Little Blanchflower
Blanchflower has been a fine addition to the bustling restaurant scene in Altrincham for a few years now, so it’s pleasing to see it expanding further afield. It has a place in Sale and also runs the kitchen at the pavilion in Longford Park in Stretford. Now we have Little Blanchflower, on the site of The Creameries. Expect more fantastic bread, brunch and ‘focaccia pizzetta’, generously topped slabs of oozing focaccia.
