Now that it’s December, the Manchester Arndale will be even busier with Christmas shoppers looking for gifts.
The downtown mall has been adorned with colorful lights and decorations, which is sure to get you in the party mood if you aren’t already.
And if you’re up for shopping until you drop, you’re bound to make a pit stop for a bite to refuel.

The Arndale is full of restaurants: a market with a mix of independent cuisines, a food court with fast food chains and restaurants, as well as places for a quick bite to eat.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is required by law to assign a hygiene score of up to five to all food supply companies.
The ratings, five being the best, look at everything from how food is stored to the cleanliness of facilities.
Here are all the dining establishments in the mall and their most recent FSA hygiene ratings:
