One of Manchester's hidden gems, tucked away in a back alley behind the buildings on the corner of Deansgate and Quay Street. It's worth the hunt, because the whole place feels more like downtown Barcelona than anything in the north of England. The atmosphere buzzes, the owner is always on hand and the genuinely rustic Spanish feel is infectious.

Tapas is the name of the game, with all the classic favourites on show including chorizo, prawns piri-piri, albondigas (meatballs) and patatas bravas; the place is also famed for its paella. Drink draught Cruzcampo beer or quaff something red from the wine list.

Handy for the Opera House!
