The Stresa is a client proof Italian. The Lowry is an individuals choice...very decent, traditional with riverside views in a location of interest and culture.

Unfortunately Salford makes me want to vomit, I can't stand the place.

Not much there to be honest. If you want a chain there are the likes of Lime, Bellamy Italia o Pizza Express next to the Lowry, or in the Lowry itself they do reasonable food but the menu is relatively narrow.

It is Salford!

Beesley Street by John Cooper Clarke accurately sums up the place.

It is funny listening to Radio Five Live presenters whine about working there though.

Ok, what about a cab ride from the Copthorne hotel?

Don't they have a Bierkeller?

We had a meal in The Lowry - not too bad and a good view. Wouldn't rate it as anything special but certainly okay for entertaining a client I would have thought. Sadly, I don't think they do Michelin starts in Salford.
Can't recall seeing much choice tbf - an Italian, a Chinese and a Beefeater? Not even a Nandos

I was there recently. They've done their best to make the area look special, and to be fair the Lowry, Imperial War Museum and Media City are all impressive buildings. Old Trafford gleams in the distance and some of the old warehouses have been made to look good.

But there really is no "buzz" at all. It happens at a lot of waterfront developments - planners try to make them come alive but the fact remains that nobody is naturally passing through, and there is no real life going on - just tourists taking pictures, people heading for the warehouse outlet, etc etc.

I quite liked the place, for what it's worth, but it feels very disconnected somehow.

Head to Castlefield, not far in a cab and lots of good places to eat there. Knot bar does good pub food. Go Albert's shed if you want something posher.

Some good places in Manc several years ago. Never been to Salford Quays since it was a working port but dockside redevs always seem to be dominated by chains. Al least no one will fall asleep in their curry.

Two very, very good Indian restaurants about five minutes walk from SQ. Akbars in Deansgate and EastzEast in Princess Street. If Chinese is an option, Yang Sing in Princess Street is tremendous. Worth a short walk to eat in any of these as opposed the mundane fare you'll get in Salford Quays. Hope this helps.

Well if you're willing to travel a short distance head to the curry mecca that is wilmslow road, rusholme
