Maya
Maya, a three-storey restaurant is coming to Chorlton Street this spring. The eatery will have different zones across its three levels, from a canal-side brasserie space serving modern-European classics to a
lower ground-floor, elegantly designed dining room that will centre around an ingredient-led, locally sourced and seasonal menu. The interior is inspired by the industrial building’s foundations mixed with accents of art-deco and discopop culture references. Maya is shaping up to be the new party hotspot to look out for.

Vnam is famous for its pho noodles and grill. Its fragrant dishes are made entirely from local produce and have earned them a generous 4.5 rating on Trip Advisor. Highlights include bao buns, fried spring
rolls with noodles, and Vietnamese special fried rice.
