Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Taxal

"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."

"🍰 There’s a range of luxury desserts to choose from at the Brasserie, including tiramisu, creme brulee and rum baba, but the star of the show is undeniably the chocolate bombe – a melting chocolate dessert with ice cream, a honeycomb centre, and hot salted caramel sauce. I’m drooling just at the thought."

"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."

"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."

"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."

"About: Born from a love of good simple food and drink, Home Sweet Home is an American style cafe and Kitchen situated in the city's Northern Quarter. Stop by for your favourite home comfort foods and over the top indulgent delights. All sweet and savoury treats are freshly prepared, baked, and brewed in house daily."

"If you’ve been dreaming of New Zealand’s famous café culture but can’t quite manage to jet yourself off to the other side of the world, head over to Tamper instead. Their two locations in Sheffield city centre are both Kiwi-inspired so make for a relaxed meal or coffee. They haven’t forgotten their location in Sheffield however, with industrial-cool interior – think reclaimed wooden benches, hanging plants and exposed brick."

"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."

"Located on Division Street, Steam Yard is a superb chill-out spot serving up the tastiest donuts in the city. The coffee’s certainly something to shout about too; using London’s Square Mile Coffee roasters, Steam Yard offers a delightful variety of high quality coffee – what’s more, there’s even a coffee and donut deal for just £3 – so they’re student-budget friendly too!"

"Two floors of grade II-listed Victorian finery – including a stunning glass ceiling – make up Mackie Mayor, a vibrant food and drink market. There are six food traders in total, serving things like wood-fired pizza and homemade tacos, while top-quality java comes from Wolfhouse Coffee. Dive into a range of espresso-based bevs and fancy pourovers."

"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."

"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."

"A friendly café, popular with the locals, The Koffee Pot serves typical English breakfasts, complete with a traditional English tea and the all important toast. With their filling English fry ups topping the list of popular dishes, The Koffee Pot also serves a Scottish breakfast, Irish breakfast, and vegetarian breakfast to add a bit of variety, as well as a range of hot drinks and fresh fruit juices. For those who seek an alternative to the full fry up, The Koffee Pot also has weekly specials, including buttermilk pancakes, and eggs on toast."

"Impossible to miss thanks to the bright orange sign, Koffee Pot has a slight grunge feel to it and a legion of dedicated fans. Touring musicians flock here for their breakfasts; the bacon butties are legendry in Manchester and cost a mere £2!. Looking like it is stuck in the 1960’s with graffiti on the walls, leather seats, and squeezy sauces, many people peer in and walk past, onto somewhere a little more ‘hip’ but this is a big mistake!"

"Somewhere between trad greasy spoon and trendy bar, Koffee Pot is a Manchester institution. It’s moved a few times in the city centre, but has now settled on Oldham Street. The vibe is about as Northern Quarter as it gets here: street art on the walls, hot Vimto by the mug and huge, no-nonsense fry-ups."

"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."

"What the restaurant lacks in design, it more than makes up for in the quality of their food. Clients who wait up to 30 minutes for a place at one of the tables appreciate the friendly staff and the authentic food, especially the roast pork belly – all provided at very reasonable prices."
