What were the most searched for restaurants in May?

Every month, the reader stats for our sister website Confidential Guides tell us the most visited restaurant pages. Confidential Guides features Greater Manchester's best restaurants, hotels and experiences, all 800+ of them and is constantly updated and evolving.

We launched it hoping that people would find it useful but what a hit it was and the stats are very interesting indeed. So we launched The Hot 50 in 2021. The 50 most searched for restaurants will be shared with our readers every month on the first Thursday.
