This is a very odd place, but I quite liked it. Someone has fenced in the little green space, whilst leaving the trees untouched, and it is a sort of collaborative restaurant. Around a dozen different kitchens offer a range of alcohol and food, all of which is ordered and paid for from your table using one of those food delivery apps beloved of take away outlets. Only here, the delivery is to a table number. It is a very Manchester sort of vibe - a creative use of space and technology to make something new and rather exciting. It's called Mala Secret Garden, if you want a visit. Mala is a Hawaiian word for garden.
