Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Failsworth

"The Ivy has long-reigned as one of the most beautiful restaurants not only in Manchester but across the UK. Offering up three floors in the Manchester venue – each with a completely different experience – the restaurant is unbeatable if you’re after a lively date night, with a fantastic atmosphere flowing from floor to floor. On the ground floor, you’ll find a stunning, floral brasserie, the second – a decadent, oriental-inspired Asian restaurant, and on the rooftop – a bright, summery floral terrace also serving the varied brasserie menu."

"The Ivy Spinningfields in Manchester is a multi-faceted venue, offering several floors of beautiful settings and tasty food and drinks. Apart from ground floor Ivy Brasserie and second floor Ivy Asia, the true gem is found at the very top, with the Ivy Roof Garden. Very colorful and very lush, the spacious rooftop really deserves its 'garden' epithet."

"Home sweet home is an American style diner with variety of tantalising dessert options on the menu. Not only that but if you really do want to follow the parents advice of no desserts before your meal, this is the perfect place due to the impressive savoury options on the menu, including toasties, tacos, eggs, bacon, waffles, fried chicken and steak. The indulgent sweet treats includes ice-cream shakes, milkshake, deep dish cookie pie and not forgetting the arrays of colourful cakes to satisfy all your heart’s cravings."

"Situated in Manchester’s creative Northern Quarter, Home Sweet Home is a characterful and charming café where friendly staff serve a popular brunch seven days a week, and at a reasonable price too. With a wide breakfast, including the house speciality, a cheeseburger toastie, there’s a choice to suit everyone. Head there for breakfast, lunch, or even afternoon tea which features freshly baked cakes and tempting sundaes, and wash everything down with freshly ground coffee."

"I’ve had something of a hit-and-miss relationship with Atkinsons, the Lancaster-based coffee roaster and tea merchant. I’ve enjoyed Atkinsons’ coffee over the years and regularly run into the team at events such as the Manchester Coffee Festival. I even made a special stop in Lancaster in 2017 to visit one of the three Atkinson coffee shops there, but was foiled by IT problems which delayed my arrival until gone midnight…"

"Restoring the former Smithfield Market and creating a busy, atmospheric dining destination for Mancs to enjoy, Mackie Mayor has long been a favourite for locals – with bars, coffee shops and restaurants to enjoy inside.

Mackie Mayor, 1 Eagle St, M4 5BU."

"Opened in 1858, this vintage food hall looks as good as its artisanal grub tastes. Housed in the shell of the historical Smithfield Market, the brick-walled space is Instagram goals with its communal tables, industrial design, glass ceiling and elegant black pillars. Offering up anything from steaks, sandwiches and pizza to local favourites, Fin Fish Bar and Baohouse, Mackie Mayor is the ultimate foodie paradise."

"Albert’s Schloss is a Bavarian-inspired fun palace of extraordinary dimensions and clever design. Behind the glistening tiles of the former Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Mission building (est in 1910) you’ll discover a vast bar, real fires, perfectly preserved original plaster, and a wall stuffed generously with flowers by floral artists’ Frog. You’ll also find a stage, DJ booth and network of beer pipes and tanks serving unpasturised Pilsner Urquell to hordes of adoring punters."

"A post shared by Albert’s Schloss (@albertsschloss) on Feb 22, 2020 at 12:00am PST. For crêpe lovers, Albert’s Schloss has you sorted this Tuesday.

"Continuing a theme of Coffee Spots in glorious Victorian shopping arcades, I present Pot Kettle Black (PKB), which has been gracing Manchester’s coffee scene since the start of October 2014. The Barton Arcade, home of PKB, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and PKB takes its lead from there, with gorgeous external features and some of the most ornate and sumptuous window art there is. Stepping inside, PKB is one of the most beautifully-appointed coffee shops I’ve ever visited."

"Pot Kettle Black, Unit 14, Barton Arcade Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 2BW - Visit now. Tucked away beneath the beautiful glass roof of Burton’s Arcade is specialist coffee shop Pot Kettle Black – vigilant against over roasting, this place presents its brews in trademark red mugs, served with a glass of water and a Viennese wafer. It’s spacious, cosy, and that little bit off the beaten track."

"Pot Kettle Black, Unit 14, Barton Arcade Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 2BW - Visit now. For breakfast, brunch and lunch, there are few better places than Pot Kettle Black.

"Alongside their Beyond Meat burger, an aromatic Thai green curry and a 100% plant-based BLT, The Cosy Club have an extra-special vegan fish and chips option. Made from a battered fillet of seaweed-wrapped tofu, the dish was awarded with ‘best vegan fish’ at the 2019 PETA awards."

"Cosy Clubs serve up relaxed dining, drinking and lounging in a really special setting with a dash of nostalgia. We love the big squishy leather sofas!. Cosy Club has an extensive Brunch menu that’s served until 5pm (so you won’t be too late!)."

"Since opening their doors in November 2015, Hope Mill Theatre has become one of the most successful independent venues in England. Located in Ancoats, they produce full scale musicals from their Grade II listed former mill. The theatre will be reopening this summer, as well as hosting Hope Fest, an outdoor arts and culture festival."

"This wonderful independent venue, located out in New Islington, was one of the few theatres that managed to reopen last year after lockdown. It'll be back again with a reduced capacity and socially distanced seating for a Meet Me At Dawn, from HER Productions. You can get tickets at hopemilltheatre.co.uk."

"The building of the Dancehouse Theatre has had a fascinating history full of transformation, morphing from meeting halls to a multi-screen cinema complex. In the 1990s it was restored to its former Art Deco splendour and was reopened as The Dancehouse Theatre, home to the Northern Ballet School. While the venue presents a broad range of performances including comedy, music and drama, dance lies at the heart of this North West icon."

"Opposite the Lowry on the south side of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford Park is one of five branches for the Imperial War Museum, opened in 2002. This remarkable building, with three interlocking metallic shards (invoking air, earth and water), was designed by Daniel Libeskind and intended to induce a feeling of disorientation apt for war. The entrance is in the 55-metre-high “air shard”, while the permanent exhibition is on the first floor in the “earth shard”."

"This museum focuses chiefly on the human cost of war in the 20th and 21st centuries. From Feb 6–June 13 it will exhibit the work of and personal memorabilia of war photographer Don McCullin. Other exhibitions include images by Sean Sutton, an exploration of the life of Odette Hallowes, the heroine of World War Two, and a photographic display marking the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall."

"A visit to the museum will help you explore how modern conflicts have affected the British society at large. The Imperial War Museum North is in Greater Manchester. It sits inside an unmissable aluminium building designed by Daniel Libeskind."

"Housed inside a former Edwardian pumping station, the People’s History Museum is one of the city’s most exciting institutions, dedicated to the history of democracy in the UK. Covering subjects much more radical than your average museum, exhibits chart the past two hundred years of working-class life for the people of Britain. Pay a visit to learn more about the fight for the vote whilst perusing one of the largest public collections of political material in Britain."

"The People’s History Museum follows the ideas that prompted the fight for democracy in the UK across the ages. It aims to showcase the power of the people as well as encourage the fight for worthy ideas. A great museum for anyone wanting to learn more about the political arena and activism history in the UK."

"Dubbed the national museum of democracy, People’s History Museum holds the largest collection of political material in Britain. The museum tells the stories of workers, voters, citizens and revolutionaries who rallied for rights and equality and made society what it is today."
