With the redevelopment of Stretford Mall, in the vein of Stanley Square in Sale, Stretford’s star is most certainly in the ascendant.
And with its sprawling postcode – taking in swathes of Old Trafford and even as far as Trafford Park as well as the border with Chorlton – this neighbourhood has a lot to go at.
Here are the best spots to check out…
Stretford Canteen
Cosy bistro where the spirit of Beaujolais lives on in classic French-British dishes.
Nila’s Burmese Kitchen
Authentic Burmese flavours served in cosy settings.
Tibetan Kitchen
Authentic Tibetan flavours with a modern twist, using quality ingredients and Himalayan spices
BrewChimp Stretford
Unique Tamil Nadu street food gem above a laundrette.
Papa Don
Off-the-beaten-track Asian fusion institution specialising in Chinese, Thai and Korean flavours
Red Marrakech
Homely cafe crammed and a true hidden gem, with classic tajines and heady Arabic stews, all cooked in the back
