What AllanJGJ likes about Christie's Bistro:
Walking back to town from the Whitworth Gallery we were surprised by the many fine buildings in the university precinct and while having a wander we came across this little cafe. It's based inside an old library and really is a little gem for lunch and coffee. While here you can have a quick look at the lovely Whitworth Hall in the same building. View all feedback.
