Need food in five minutes? St Peter’s Square has your back. Rudy’s Pizza is a cult. The queue looks scary, but it moves at warp speed. The pizza is thin, crispy, and tastes like something your Italian grandmother would make. If your grandmother was a rockstar.
The Anthologist One St Peters Square, Greater Manchester - Restaurant
There’s also a cheeky Chopstix for a noodle fix. It’s not fine dining. But it is fine for a hungover Tuesday. Pro tip: Add the crispy chicken. Your taste buds will high-five you.
The Pub That’s a Time Machine
Look up. See the big, grand building with the clock tower? That’s the Midland Hotel. Inside is the Mr Thomas’s Chop House. It’s not new. It opened in 1867. Queen Victoria was still young.
This place is a museum of eating. Dark wood, snob screens, and pies that could make a grown man weep. The steak and ale pie is a legend. It’s so good, Mr Thomas would probably roll in his grave with approval. But in a good way.
