Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in High Lane

"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."

"Located in the heart of Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields only opened in November 2018, but is already a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a little glamour. The Brasserie serves modern British classics while the The Ivy Asia and Bar serves Asian-inspired cocktails and sharing dishes with entertainment and resident DJs. There are also three private dining rooms - The Dalton, The Geisha Room and The Skylight Terrace."

"With three sprawling levels that include a traditional brasserie, modern Asian bar and stunning rooftop space, there's plenty of choice at The Ivy. Nab a spot at the Spinningfields favourite and indulge in all-day dining with alluring cocktails to match."

"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."

"Home Sweet Home is doing half-price pancakes today, to celebrate what is 'basically their Christmas'. Their stacked pancakes - three piled on top of each other - are served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream as standard. You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."

"Bringing a taste of New Zealand to Sheffield, Tamper Sellers Wheel has become one of the city’s choice destinations for everything from coffee and cake, to a hearty brunch. The place is always packed to the rafters and it’s easy to see why with the quality on offer. Stop by to try the fantastic selection of tasty coffee on offer; as well as the wonderful array of homemade treats; which are always varied and tasty."

"Tamper is devoted to the quality of its coffee; its beans are roasted locally in Yorkshire and the cafe works together with the local Cat Bakery to produce freshly baked goods. With a large range of breakfast and brunch dishes, Tamper Coffee is the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing, coffee-induced breakfast among exposed brickwork in casual surroundings."

"Having just come second for ‘Best Cheap Eats’ in the North, in The Guardian Observer Food Monthly Awards, tucked away just off the indie metropolis that is Division Street, Steam Yard is rapidly becoming one of the most popular places in the city for great coffee and donuts. Inhabiting what used to be an old silverworks building, it is positioned at the back of a pretty courtyard between a tattoo parlour and costume shop. There is an intimate café atmosphere both inside and outside, where you can really take in the aesthetic of the traditional building."

"Veggie & Vegan Friendly – If you’re vegan, a lover of coffee and crave a peanut butter brownie then look no further than the Steam Yard. Eating cake just somehow got better!. Plus the brownies have nuts in, so surely that’s one of your five a day, right??"

"Then you need to head to Mackie Mayor to sample a variety of options. This brick-walled food hall features vendors that boast tonnes of food offerings. With long, communal dining tables, you can bring your entire group of friends to enjoy an entire morning of delicious food."

"Mackie Mayor, 1 Eagle Street, Manchester, M4 5BU. A ‘Time Out Food Hall’ style venue packed with an impressive array of local artisan food and drink businesses, in a stunning Grade II listed market building in the Northern Quarter."

"Mackie Mayor is a hip food market refurbished from the shell of the historic Smithfield Market, originally opened in 1858. Come for the artisanal local food options like Fin Fish Bar and Baohouse, stay for the industrial design and glass ceiling."

"Centred just off the main high-street on the pretty cobbled streets of Norfolk Road, Marmadukes is arguably the best cafe in the town centre to go and enjoy a good coffee in a rustic, beautifully decorated, nordic style setting. If you’re feeling a bit peckish, it has an amazing food menu, full of fresh, locally sourced produce to cater for all your brunch needs at any time of day. Even with the recent introduction of table service at the cafe, Marmadukes still retains a relaxed vibe and is perfect for a cute coffee outing with a big group."

"Marmadukes pride themselves on being the "best of British" and you'll find this in the selection of items featured on their breakfast and brunch menus. If you want something unique and local, then the Derbyshire oatcakes with Yorkshire ham, cheddar cheese, fried egg, and roasted vine tomatoes is the way to go."

"Serving honest, freshly-cooked food, Harvester creates a warm, family-friendly vibe at its hundreds of restaurants throughout the UK. From tapas-style starters and juicy rotisserie chicken, to famous signature ribs and 100% British beef burgers, the…"

"While the country house at Hare Hill Hall is privately owned, the garden is cared for by the National Trust. The star here is the walled garden, a blaze of colour in early-summer when the rhododendrons and azaleas burst into flower. There are also uncommon varieties of poppy, iris, lupin, phlox and echinacea."

"Eyam Hall is a historic manor house located just outside of Sheffield. The house was built in 1671 and is a well-preserved example of Jacobean architecture. The Hall and its garden are now open to the public so you can learn about the history about the building and life in the 17th century."

"Doing lots of little things right” is a definition of perfection – and this simple seafood restaurant in Chorlton is just that. The kitchen’s Essa grill is masterfully handled by co-owner (and former Lead Station chef) Recep Canliisik, who churns out char-grilled whole squid and seabream, Thai-spiced monkfish tail and possibly the best calamari in the UK."

"Doing lots of little things right” is a definition of perfection. And Oystercatcher – a simple seafood restaurant in Chorlton – is just that. The kitchen’s Inca grill is masterfully handled by co-owner Recep Canliisik, who churns out dishes such as char-grilled whole sea bream, and Tandoori-barbecued monkfish tail."
