Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Rainow

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"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. With options like Truffle Arancini, Zucchini fritti, Eggs Benedict and Avocado Benedict, as well as Hot Buttermilk Pancakes for those (like me) with a sweet tooth!"

"The Ivy Spinningfields is ago-to quirky restaurant if you're after a night of sophisticated dining in a luxurious setting. With its patterned interiors, emerald green bar and picture perfect rooftop terrace, the venue serves a brasserie-style menu with handcrafted cocktails to match."

"Home Sweet Home is an inevitable address for brunch-lovers in the Northern Quarter. If you are looking for some good comfort food, you are sure to find it here. We recommend the Eggs Cali."

"Few places manage to do breakfast, brunch, lunch and evening meals (once a week – on a Friday) as well as one another but this New Zealand eatery somehow manages it. Excellent coffee, craft beer, daily specials and a Kiwi-themed menu (including their greatly adored mince on toast) all make Tamper a city favourite. If you like cheese then you should also keep an eye out for their "homage to fromage" evenings."

"Run by two New Zealanders with a passion for a proper brew, Tamper makes for a great place to while away an afternoon. Their coffee is award-winning and the grub’s top notch. The Big Kiwi Breakfast is sure to stifle any hangover, while Friday nights offer an opportunity to prepare for said hangover with a late, boozy opening."

"Aside from making some seriously delicious coffee in their comfy surroundings with a weekly guest blend from the UK's best roasters, Steam Yard also offer some excellent food too. Their lunch menu features salt beef bagels, pastrami sandwiches and a gooey three cheese toastie with chutney but their donuts (provided by Depot Bakery) and fronuts (ice-cream filled donuts) are some of the best in the city."

"If you’re looking for a stopover for a quick coffee and a croissant in the morning, this bakery turned café has everything a coffeeholic would ask for. Make sure you visit during non-peak times as it can get quite busy during lunch and breakfast hours. Try the tiffin, it’s one of the best bakes they have to offer."

"Sheffield's own slice of Americana, with laid-back staff serving excellent coffee and doughnuts. There's also bagels, pastrami, grilled cheese and brownies for the full indulgent American experience."

"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."

"This street food marketplace is so jam-packed with food merchants you’ll struggle to choose just one. It’s housed within Smithfield’s grand Grade II-listed Victorian market - grab a seat, pick a stall and get stuck in."

"Veggie & Vegan Friendly – As we’ve already stated above we’ve got a soft spot for avocado on toast and Alyssum Cafe do their own version that’s most definitely worth a visit. But before we write a whole blog on avo on toast we must draw your attention to this mouth watering mound. This is their version of a veggie Benedict; Housemade potato Rösti, sauteed herbed mushrooms, free range poached eggs, hollandaise and their own homegrown micro greens."

With its trendy country kitchen vibe, the Greek-influenced Alyssum is a popular brunch spot, probably because it serves both a long breakfast and lunch menu all day long. No matter what you’re in the mood for, there will be something to cure your craving here."

"Sheffield has a thriving Greek and Cypriot community and Alyssum Cafe & Bistro offers them a taste of home. Located in Crookesmoor, Alyssum is one of the friendliest spots you’ll find in Sheffield. You’re more than a customer when you […]"

"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!)."

"For the highest stacks you can manage, head to the Cosy Club in the Corn Exchange where they’ll be dishing up piles of buttermilk pancakes at £1.25 each. Toppings range from wholesome banana and fruit compote to cream and chocolate."

"In the Norton Lees district, lies this half-timbered house built during the Renaissance. Despite its age, it has kept a lot of its Jacobean-style interior and has become a grade 2 listed building. It has been§ a museum open to the public since 1976 and accepts donations rather than admission fees."

"One of the few real 'tourist attractions' included on this list, Bishop's House is known as Sheffield's "Tudor hidden gem". A window to the past, kept open by the Friends of Bishop's House, the house was built in 1554 during Mary Tudor's short reign. Find it near the entrance to Meersbrook Park."
