Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Scholes

"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 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."

"From the decadent jade floor to the mouthwatering menu, The Ivy's Asian restaurant is bringing you a real taste from the East. Expect dishes from 'raw & cured' to 'dumplings & bao' paired with a huge selection of wines and a carefully curated cocktail menu."

"From the towering cakes to the boozy milkshakes, Home Sweet Home is a must for anyone with a sweet tooth. The American-inspired brunch restaurant will wipe away any morning blues with its titan breakfasts; opt for pancake stacks with a breakfast cocktail thrown in for good measure."

"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."

"Exploring the pot-holed streets of Sheffield on bike, bus or foot really makes you appreciate the character and great community that we are privileged to be a part of; Tamper Coffee is an example of one such community. It’s a hive of activity and creative energy that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead, whatever it may hold!. So why not pop down to Arundel Street or Westfield Terrace and become part their community."

"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."

"This cute little venue on Aberdeen Court is perfect for meeting up with university pals for a catch up, with a large variety of different coffees on offer. The best news is, Steam Yard do a coffee and a doughnut deal for just £3, what more could you want?. Steam Yard are well known for their ‘cro-nut’ which is basically a combination of an American doughnut and a croissant, filled with flavoured cream and topped with chocolate and honeycomb, popcorn fruit and cream!"

"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."

"Why: There isn’t just one breakfast option at Mackie Mayor, which makes it great for groups who want to eat together but may want different things to eat (just like your mother said, it’s our individuality that makes the world so beautiful). The space itself is a grand grade II listed market building, with incredible original detailing and a buzzy atmosphere, and houses multiple food traders with communal seating laid out in the centre of the space. When it comes to the food offering you could find yourself enjoying anything from fruit and granola to shakshuka or avocado on toast with eggs."

"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."

"An institution in Manchester, with several different locations, in various guises throughout the city, Trof’s Northern Quarter location is the perfect start to the tour. Described as a ‘dandyish den of opulence’ on their website, the leather seats, and wooden décor, really make this a cosy and comfy place to hangout, offering hearty breakfasts, amazing burgers, Sunday lunches, and drinks to quench all thirsts. Whether you are looking for coffee (soya milk and decaffeinated coffee available) a refreshing smoothie, herbal tea or an old fashioned lemonade or dandelion and burdock, Trof will not let you down."

A treat for any fine dining enthusiasts, The French showcases everything that is great about northern produce and cooking."

"02/05/2021: We have ordered numerous meals, to collect, during lockdown., from Iris. This week I had the salmon and my husband had the duck-both were absolutely delicious. The cooking instructions are easy to follow and timings are spot on."

"Iris is a contemporary British restaurant located in the heart of Wakefield city Centre, close to the Cathedral and the Bull Ring fountains."

"Across the road from Kelham Island at the Shalesmoor tram stop, you’ll find the Wellington. A ‘proper’ pub in every sense of the word with a cosy fireplace. It also happens to be the tap house of Neepsend Brewery, so you know there’s great beer available."

"With a mention as one of the Guardian’s best cheap eats in Sheffield and winner of Eat Sheffield’s Best Café Award, Blue Moon is a go-to for vegetarian and vegan grub in the city centre. Housed in a distinctive blue and white building next to Sheffield Cathedral, it’s not hard to spot either and the high ceilinged interior makes it a rather “zen” little spot to get away from deadline madness.2, St James Row, Facebook: Blue Moon Cafe"

"Winner of the Social Sheffield Award for Best Vegan/Vegetarian Food 2018 this vegetarian restaurant is a great option for vegan dining in the city centre with its location right next to the cathedral. Each day they have two vegan and one vegetarian dish on offer including salads, stew, rice, pastries, cakes and more."

"A finalist in the last series of Channel 4's Ramsay's Best Restaurant, this vegetarian Indian is a venue on the up. Whilst sat in the smart lounge (opposite the main restaurant on Woodhead Road) waiting for your takeaway, you can peruse multiple framed newspaper cuttings extolling Prashad's virtues or watch looped footage of Gordon Ramsay putting Kaushy Patel and her kitchen team through their paces. Despite this recent boost to the restaurant's profile, prices remain keen."
