The new bars and restaurants opening in Manchester in June

It’s a bumper month for openings, with the evening light stretching its legs and the clement weather (not wanting to jinx it) making everyone thirsty.

Here are 10 of the best new spots to try across the city and beyond…

Canteena

Canteena has scooped up the unit left vacant by the much-missed Sale food hall and bar. But it’ll be delivering its own thing, mind you, focussing on Irish dexter and Brazilian steak (though never fear, there are vegetarian and vegan dishes on offer too). It’s run by Danielle Condron and Lisa Kettle, who previously ran The Bridge pub, also in Sale, and No 1 Canal Street in the village, and it’s open now.

Gail’s

The craft bakery with outlets all over London (literally, they’re everywhere), Gail’s throws open the doors of its new branch on King Street on June 7. In what appears to be an attempt at nationwide artisan bakery domination, Gail’s has also recently opened in Wilmslow and Altrincham, and is also planning another for Didsbury on June 21. Let them eat cake. And sourdough and cinnamon buns.

Lucky Cat

Gordon Ramsay’s Asian concept Lucky Cat - modelled on the Tokyo drinking dens of the 1930s - is opening in the spot left vacant by Jamie’s Italian, the stunning old bank at the top of King Street. The first outside London, this Japanese and Korean inspired spot will be turning out all manner of sushi and sashimi, baos and dumplings, as well as a beef sirloin with ‘weeping tiger’ sauce and a whole lobster with a yuzu beurre blanc, plus a £35 lunch menu.
