What a place, the bread alone would swing it for me but all the rest is just a dream. Rarely get away with only one loaf, normally end up buying several delicious selections.

Review of Barbakan Delicatessen from 27 February 2013
Ten stars in my books, I always feel like a child in a sweet shop, so many beautiful artisan breads to taste  - (think you stopped doing the delicious chocolate bread though - bring it back please). Always enjoy the Saturday BBQ, and pop over the road to the Unicorn....I used to live nearby but now have to travel across town to Chorlton, as I haven't found anywhere better. Such friendly staff too.  Don't really get why some people have criticised the ticket system, seems fair to me and I have never experienced queue jumping (just the opposite), with a place this popular, it would be a bit of a scrum without it.

Review of Barbakan Delicatessen from 21 November 2012
The first place I went in when I discovered Chorlton many years ago - the institution that is Barbakan. Not sure how long they've been about but they have a reputation for the finest bread that I can certainly vouch for.
Check out the walnut bread - magnificent!
Excellent rye bread and other seedy delights. As well as bread, expect meats, cheese and the usual deli fayre. A geat selection of continental meats, particularly from eastern Europe. The cheese selection is ok, everything is vacuum packed though which isn't really to my tastes.
Plenty of outdoor seating on warmer days :)

Review of Barbakan Delicatessen from 21 July 2010

There is an average selection of produce (exluding bakery) the ticketing system? and the shop layout leave a lot to be desired, the customers were queuing to the door which made it almost impossible to look around without squeezing past, I didnt think much of the customer service either(neither did the guy beside me) all in all I wasnt too impressed by the place to be honest, but perhaps ive been a little spoiled by my visit to Wallys in Cardiff. I found what I was looking for though, which merits the three star rating.

Review of Barbakan Delicatessen from 25 February 2010

Everyone loves the Barbakan, and I can sort of see why...it does a great selection of breads and is packed with a huge array of tasty deli produce. However whenever I've been in I've just found it to be wholly disorganised and difficult to navigate. The queuing system is beyond comprehension and I've never managed to come out without being pushed in front of or feeling harrassed, so it's not exactly a relaxed shopping experience. Also, I note that the Guardian once placed it in a list of one of the 'top places to eat outside in the UK' which is a bit odd as there are just a few patio chairs facing a busy road and an old petrol station....

Review of Barbakan Delicatessen from 3 February 2010

Situated in the bustling heart of Chorlton, the Barbakan is quite simply one of the best independent deli's in the North West of England - a fact which has not gone unnoticed, seeing as it recently won the Manchester Food and Drink Festival's "Best Food and Drink Retailer" award.

Brimming to the seams with delicious goodies, this is the place to go for sumptuous, silky cheeses, exotic looking cold cuts, and a range of salads which are so delicious that I'd gladly bankrupt myself in order to eat my own bodyweight in them each and every day.

OK, so you may have to pay that little bit extra for a loaf of bread - but wow, what bread! Baked on the premises by a team of master bakers, each and every baked good which comes out of that shop is a delight to the senses. Indeed, after one bite of their rye bread, you'll want to chuck that supermarket loaf out of your nearest window.

The best time to visit is undoubtedly on a Saturday when they host a regular barbeque on their patio, serving up an amazing array of grilled meats. I highly recommend the Chorizo, served up in a soft white hot dog roll. And the Lamb and Rosemary sausage with red onion jam. And the Polish Kielbasa with extra garlic, smothered in hot mustard. And well...pretty much all of it really! Like its food, this is a Chorlton gem to savour.

Simply the best deli in the northwest. I am lucky enough to live round the corner from it but would gladly travel miles to shop here.

You can smell you are getting close to Barbakan and I’m only walking past the library. A fantastic place for bread and little treats. Some of the female staff are a little snappy but ignore them, they don’t bite.

This is the nicest Deli I have ever been to - the food is fresh and appetising and beautifully displayed. There’s a great choice including lots for veggies and the prices are pretty reasonable. The cakes are fabulous. Parking can be an issue nearby, and if you’re not local you could be disappointed if you don’t get somewhere near by. The staff are very friendly too!

Chorlton really does have a LOT going for it when you think about it. A legendary deli here. I know people who have deliberately moved to Chorlton because of the Barbakan. An intoxicating variety of delicious food. Not cheap mind, but then you go to the supermarket for cheap, mass produced cold meats, don’t you. Here it’s the real stuff.

A superb deli that is well worth the visit. It stocks a wide range of produce from store cupboard items to cakes and savoury treats. You must try the bagels, they are the best I have ever tasted.

Review of Barbakan Delicatessen from 15 November 2008

Their bagels are the best in greater manchester, maybe even the north west. I know people that are from outside greater manchester and when they visit they go to barbakan for the bagels (after having tried them at my house). Some people think that this place is expensive but i disagree as this place offers real quality food.
