The Real Greek | Corn Exchange

One of two The Real Greek restaurants in Manchester (the other is at the Trafford Centre), The Corn Exchange venue brings Greek and Mediterranean cuisine to the city centre – from the same company that brought Franco Manca pizzas to the north.

A cross-section of the healthy Eastern Mediterranean diet, you’ll find a mix of hot and cold meze here with grilled meats like lamb skewers, pork belly and loukaniko sausage. Souvlaki wraps, greek-inspired salads, plenty of olives and a homage to halloumi.

A separate vegan menu makes the most of Santorini lentils, houmous and smoked aubergine. With other classics like dolmades – stuffed vine leaves, falafel and giant gigandes beans.

Kids eat at The Real Greek for £7 all in – with a choice between a souvlaki wrap or a mix of meze, a drink and a dessert.
