Freight Island
Baring Street, Mayfield, behind Piccadilly station
Address: Freight Island, 11 Baring Street, Manchester M1 2PZ- Restaurant
- Cheap and cheerful
Wander the street-food traders at the old railway depot behind Piccadilly station, then find a table among the lights.
Why it's a good date: There's a lot of choice, so it's good when you can't agree on what to eat, and there's often music or sport on. It gets lively at weekends; go earlier in the evening for a calmer table.
