"Not satisfied being one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields is offering up Insta-ready puds to match the surroundings. A long-standing feature on their dessert menu, the Chocolate Bombe is a thing of beauty. A hard chocolate shell is turned molten by a hot caramel sauce to reveal a delectable vanilla ice cream and honeycomb core within."

"The Brasserie at The Ivy in Manchester do a Saturday and Sunday Brunch (and bank holidays). The restaurant itself is a beautiful art deco inspired space.

"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."

"As the name indicates, the café is best suited to give you the perfect vibe of being at home. If you are looking for late-night coffee shops in Manchester city centre, then you are good to go here. Along with the yummy coffees, the signature dish is cheeseburger toasties."

"Originally created by chef Dominique Ansel in New York, the croissant-doughnut hybrid (cronut) caught everyone’s imaginations and spawned a succession of homages. The Alberts Schloss take on the sweet pastry is an utter delight, freshly baked in-house with a range of tempting flavours including chocolate gateaux and salted caramel with popcorn. This week, to tie-in with royal wedding fever, try the Eton mess: a golden sugar kronut with strawberry jam, vanilla cream, glazed strawberries, meringue kisses and fresh mint."

"30/05/2021: I’m having difficulties deciding what was worse the food or the service I went to Regal cafe at 12.30pm hoping to get the breakfast which finishes at 1pm , my kids and I stood around for 10/15min being totally ignored before being seated, there wasn’t a queue, waiters just walked past and ignored me when I asked for a table. Finally when we were seated I tried placing my order straight away, I asked 4 different waiters who walked past that I’m ready to place my order each waiter said either 5min or 2 min, after 20min of being seated I asked the 5 time only to be told it’s 1.10pm and no longer taking breakfast orders !!!!!!!. Breakfast order finish at 1pmWe ordered lunch, samosa chart was not a samosa chart, it was cold samosa with last nights chickpea curry thrown on top, the masala fish stunk of mold, burgers were eatable !!!"

"Half hip café, half hip design store, Fig + Sparrow may have only been around for a few years compared to the Northern Quarter heavyweights that surround it, but it’s one of Oldham Street’s most beloved stores. In summer, the crowded outdoor tables may lull you into thinking that it is simply a café, but inside you will discover a myriad of carefully selected items for your home or for gifts. It’s also one of the best places in the area to find greetings cards and wrapping paper."

"Half coffee shop, half homewares, all stunning - Fig and Sparrow is a dainty café with design as beautiful as the latte art. From their tiny bar they serve an impressive range of coffees and teas. Flat whites are always meticulous, and it’s worth dipping your beak into their pour-over range."
