Cleanest restaurants and cafés in Manchester Arndale, according to hygiene ratings

Manchester Arndale has been the go-to place in town for retail therapy since the '70s.

In that time, shops have come and gone.

But as well as popular high street brands, the shopping centre houses many places to eat, with new additions often popping up.

The Arndale has an abundance of eateries - a market with a mix of cuisines from independents, a food court with fast food chains and restaurants, as well as places for a quick bite dotted about.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is required by law to give a hygiene rating of up to five to all food-supplying businesses.

The ratings, with five being the best, look at everything from how food is stored to the cleanliness of the facilities.

Here, we take a look at the cleanest establishments in the shopping centre, with a 5/5 FSA hygiene rating:
