The best restaurants and cafes to celebrate Lunar New Year in Greater Manchester... let us know your favourites

We are just a couple of weeks away from Lunar New Year - which is celebrated by billions of people across the world.

Marking the first new moon of the year, the event is celebrated through a variety of different traditions globally with Chinese New Year perhaps one of the most recognised.

It takes over Chinatown each year with a massive festival and parade.

But Lunar New Year, which will begin on January 29 this year, is also celebrated by many countries and cultures across East Asia including Korea, Vietnam, Mongolia, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Tibet.

The annual event will often feature celebrations including the likes of dragon parades, lion dances, festivals, and religious rituals. And, of course, there’s also a big emphasis on gatherings with friends and family and enjoying plenty of amazing food.

Across Greater Manchester, there are a number of excellent restaurants, cafes, bakeries and takeaways that serve up some of the best Asian food the country has to offer - with supermarkets and stalls across the city-borough also selling a number of ingredients and vegetables that you can’t just find anywhere.

With the build-up to Lunar New Year well and truly underway, we’re looking for your suggestions for the best places to celebrate the event in Greater Manchester.

Whether you have a lesser-known corner shop in mind, a popular ramen bar that just ticks all the right boxes, or a family-run restaurant that just does something special, we want to hear from you - and we’ll be compiling a list of some of the most mentioned suggestions to give people some recommendations this year.
