Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Crosland Moor

"A very special spot standing proud in the centre of Spinningfields, The Ivy consists of three charming floors – one of which is completely decked out in the most spectacular, Far Eastern-inspired decor. And the nods don’t end there. The menu is completely inspired by Asia, too, taking inspiration from all corners of the continent when curating their menu."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"This Northern Quarter restaurant’s pancakes have long held a place in our hearts, with delicious combos such as banana, nutella and salted caramel and blueberry compote with frosting on the menu. The homely diner has an array of incredible desserts if pancakes aren’t your style – with an incredible homemade cake counter that’s not for the faint-hearted. Pancake stacks include three, fluffy American-style pancakes, served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream."

"From the makers of Altrincham’s Market House food hall, this city-centre spin-off corrals a similarly stellar lineup of traders (burger and steak stars Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Pico’s Tacos, New Wave Ramen, Mumma’s Fried Chicken) into Mackie Mayor, in the Grade II-listed former Smithfield market. Look out for irregular special events, such as dinners on 1 and 8 July with hotly tipped Manc pop-up Higher Ground, creators of the already-legendary oxtail madras pasty. No bookings, outdoor seating available, app-ordering, currently card-only."

"The sister to Altrincham’s Market House, Mackie Mayor has been a raging success since launching in 2017, offering food from a range of kitchens and communal dining at the heart of the splendid former market hall in the Northern Quarter. The guide says: “Highlights include Honest Crust’s wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas; the amazing Italianate brunch dishes at La Cucina; and staggering roast chicken and porchetta sandwiches at Rotisserie."

"Albert's Schloss is one heck of a party restaurant, overflowing with oompah bands, bier steins and all the Bohemian beauties you could possibly ask for. Whether you're heading down for their regular Sunday service or Kunst Kabaret, you're sure to have plenty of Insta-moments."

"One of the wildest restaurants in Manchester, Albert's Schloss doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. Not only can you hunker down for big meat and even bigger Bavarian beer, but also table dancing, entertainment, in-house bands and jaw-dropping antics almost every night."

"Formerly known as William Sicilian, Sicilian NQ is the first and only true Sicilian restaurant in Manchester – offering up hearty, traditional dishes that aim to encapsulate the culture of Sicily. Think Sicilian wines and beers, antipasti, pasta, cannoli and even lovely traditional Italian desserts that go down extremely well with a good old cup of coffee. Sicilian NQ, 14 Turner St, M4 1DZ."

"Alan Turing Statue is also a very important LGBTQ landmark in Manchester. It’s located in Sackville Gardens, just behind the Gay Village. Alan Turing was a computer scientist and mathematician best known for his work on Enigma (German encrypting machine) during WWII."

"In a city with the biggest student population outside of London, it would be absurd for the prevailing university culture not to have some influence on the art scene. Housed within the University of Leeds campus in the Grade II listed Art Deco Parkinson Building, The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery showcases a mix of contemporary art as well as works from the university’s special collections department spanning over 200 years. The gallery expectedly supports and promotes its students’ and its graduates’ work, in addition to displays from local artists and those from further afield."

"You don’t have to be a student to enjoy the art of The Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery at the University of Leeds. Since 1970, it’s been home to the University Art Collection, which features ceramics, photographs and sculpture. That’s not all – you can see an incredible selection of British and European paintings, drawings and prints from 17th century to the present day."
