ONE OF THE BEST BÁNH MÌ IN THE CITY IS SERVED FROM THIS SHOP ON OLDHAM ROAD

Over on Oldham Road, you can get yourself one of the best bĂĄnh mĂŹ in the city.

Wow Bánh Mì is the dream project of Susan and Michael Diep, Vietnamese-Mancunians who’ve lived in the city for over 40 years. After careers in IT and beauty, they finally opened their own place in late 2023.

Bånh mÏ is a Vietnamese classic, French baguettes - first introduced in colonial times - filled with goodness like grilled pork, sticky chicken skewers, fried tofu, pickled daikon, pâtÊ, coriander and hot sauce.

Their phở is superbly executed too, with brisket, tofu, seafood or meatballs, and the summer rolls, broken rice plates, papaya salad and a vast selection of bubble teas round out the menu.

Walk-ins are always welcome, and if you’re a bánh mì fan, you’ll be in very good hands.

Order through Uber Eats and you can buy one, get one free on summer rolls, chicken skewers bĂĄnh mĂŹ, salt & pepper tofu bĂĄnh mĂŹ from 3-19 July.

THE NEW TAPAS AND PINTXO BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH THAT’S LESS THAN £30

Situated in one of the prettiest corners of town, just a stone’s throw from the Town Hall, El Kabron opened its doors in September 2024, serving up authentic dishes like fried baby squid, croquetas and a proper tortilla.

But it has heritage stretching back much further than that, with older sister La Bandera having been serving up small plates with an eye on the Iberian peninsula for more than a decade.

And now El Kabron has a brand new bottomless brunch, filled with tapas and pintxo goodness.

You can choose between the ‘Madrid option’ (£29), which comes with 90 minutes of bubbles or lager, three tapas and one pintxo, and the ‘Barcelona option’ (£39), which comes with 90 minutes of bubbles or lager and BOTTOMLESS tapas and pintxo.

As for the tapas, choose between dishes like patatas bravas, pisto manchego, tortilla espaĂąola, gambas al ajillo, chopitos fritos, croquetas, and chorizo a la sidra.

The brunch is available Friday to Sunday, 11am - 4pm, and you can add cocktails and wine for an extra ÂŁ6.

THE UNDERGROUND COMEDY CLUB THROWING A 12-DAY COMEDY FESTIVAL IN MANCHESTER

Creatures Comedy Club has only been in the Northern Quarter for three years but in that time they’re hit some impressive milestones.

They've graduated from the basement of The Corner Boy to having their own entrance on Oldham Street, and their 7 days a week stand-up programme has been so successful they’ve had to double the capacity.

And - if you haven’t already - what better time to experience it than at the upcoming Creatures Comedy Festival, which is happening from Tuesday 15 to Saturday 26 July.

You’ll find it at Creatures Comedy Club and the neighbouring Lost Cat every night on weekdays, with shows starting from 1.45pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

A combination of big names trying out their ‘work in progress’ material, and more emerging names, it’s not one to miss.

There’ll be podcast favourites like Celya AB testing new material, stand-up Alison Spittle, podcaster Rob Auton, former Scottish Comedian of the Year Larry Dean, Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner Rob Copland and Comedy Central alumnus Tadiwah Mahlunge.

Joining them are Chloe Petts, double act Graham & Steen and improv from Ev & Kev - plus lots more, of course.

RUSHOLME CHIPPY: THE LEGENDARY KOBEDA SPOT SERVING UP INCREDIBLE KEBABS FOR GENERATIONS

Rusholme Chippy, aka the ‘king of kobeda’, has been keeping the good people of Manchester and beyond fed since 1977.

Located on the Curry Mile, this legendary late-night spot serves up kobeda kebabs, grills, slow-cooked lamb, chippy classics and more.

Starting life as a chip shop with just three tables, the takeaway and sit-in spot has expanded to become something very special.

The family at the heart of it all have transformed Rusholme Chippy into more of a fusion chippy, with classic fish and chips alongside traditional Afghan dishes like Qabily Pillow.

Their signature kobeda is a heavily-spiced minced lamb skewer, fired on the grill before being served on fresh-from-the-tandoor bread, on a sheet of chip paper with their signature chilli sauce.

If you order through Uber Eats, you can save ÂŁ5 if you spend ÂŁ27 from June 13-20th. Order here: https://bit.ly/4c3jLQP
