A Stockport restaurant which was named in the Michelin guide only a few months ago is closing its doors.

Cantaloupe, a wine bar and restaurant based at 71 Great Underbank, will be hosting its last dinner service on Saturday 8 August.

The cosy spot, which opened in 2024, earned a name for itself for its 'simple, skillful' European cooking, and 'welcoming' atmosphere.

But it's not the end of the world for the site - although Cantaloupe will be closing, a new spot will be opening in the same building called Caput, a new concept bar.

Speaking on social media, the Cantaloupe team said: "We've had many highlights: from the off site piri piri chicken night, 'Frango Fandango' to the on site 'Le Midi'.

"Seeing our small restaurant full of the best of Manchester's industry, on an evening thick with humidity, was a proud moment.

"And of course we were equally proud of the Good Food Guide Top 100 listing, and the Michelin BIb Gourmand, all from a kitchen 75cm by 3 metres 15, with subpar equipment.

"We're so grateful for the support we've received from Stockport and the wider community.

"We've been blessed with great guests, many of whom have become regulars. To those, a big thank you. Thanks to our wonderful suppliers for coming up with the goods.

"And thank you of course to all the staff that have helped make Cantaloupe special."

Bar Caput will be opening on the same site from Wednesday 26 August.
