Manchester Terminal 1 faqs...
Most of the Terminal 1 restaurants and food joints have exceptionally poor reviews and ratings across the review websites. The best restaurant in terms of customer feedback seems to be Cafe Balzar. This bucks the trend and actually gets good reviews on TripAdvisor.
We generally recommend Escape Lounge to leisure travellers or those with children, and The Aspire lounge for business travellers. They are both great lounges with only subtle differences.
