Almost Famous

100-102 High Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester, M4 1HP

The menu could seem inventive for the sake of it, but try one dish and you’ll see why it’s ‘almost famous’. American-style fries topped with Marmite butter or bacon mayo are just the beginning. Each burger has two beef patties that demand attention. Tuck into the brioche bun of I’m Crack-ed, Baby for layers of chorizo, salt-and-vinegar crisps, blue-cheese sauce and jalapeño mustard. It’s the kind food that hangover dreams are made of. Inside, colourful splashes of graffiti decorate the room, in a ‘Northern grunge meets US diner’ kind of style. The weekly-changing boozy shakes are just the ticket to get the party started again. LF. almostfamousburgers.com
