Manchester’s dessert scene is booming and it's clear that the city doesn't play when it comes to tiramisu. From classic Italian staples to unexpected twists, the city’s cafes and restaurants are serving this coffee-soaked favourite with style. Here’s a round-up of the spots doing it best...
Bruco
If you go to Bruco for a meal, you've got to order the tiramisu, which is more than big enough to share as a sweet conclusion. These folks do the dessert dis right, with perfectly coffee-soaked sponge, fluffy mascarpone and a heavy smattering of cocoa powder.
Onda
The viral one. Yes, that tiramisu. Straight from their 'tiramisu drawer', you can look forward to clean layers, silky mascarpone and a very polished finish. You'll definitely be taking a bunch of snaps of this before it hits your spoon...
Vero Moderno
This Chapel Street restaurant needs to be on your radar. It may not be as flashy as the other Italian spots in town, but the food, the service and the tiramisu are 10s all round. This is proper tiramisu, no gimmicks.
Vincenzo Trattoria
Another 'classic done right' option, Vincenzo Trattoria will have you in safe hands. Their tiramisu is all about proper layers, creamy mascarpone, and cocoa dusted as it should be, delivering every single time.
The Sparrows Continental Pasta & Spätzle
This is quite an unexpected contender given that it's not strictly Italian. However, while you may have come for spätzle and comfort plates, the tiramisu then shows up and steals the spotlight.
L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele
Given the Naples stamp of approval, these lot aren't bothered about reinvention but more into serving up a classic done properly. You already know the pizza is the headline, but the tiramisu is an even better way to end an already great meal.
