Established over 40 years ago, the Barbakan Polish deli has earned itself a well deserved reputation as one of the city's finest bakeries and delicatessens.
It also supplies many of the city's top restaurants, and more than 50 varieties of bread are sold including Chorlton sourdough, cheese, tomato and bacon and even Belgian chocolate, not to mention Polish poppy seed and the famous Marathon Bread.
The deli also offers a deluxe range of cooked meats, cheeses (pasteurised and unpasteurised), salads and pastries, including dense, baked Polish cheesecakes. Sample the Barbakan's sandwich selection (to eat in on bench-style seating or out), homemade quiche and salads for lunch, while weekends see a grill manned on the front porch to lure passers by with the delicious aroma of smoked sausages.
