Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Wilpshire

"A garden oasis nestled in Hardman Square, book a table for up to six guests (subject to availability) for the beautiful covered and heated ground floor terrace at The Ivy Spinningfields from 12 April and watch the world go by as you savour their seasonal specials and show-stopping serves. In addition, indoor reservations for the brasserie, roof terrace and glamorous late-night restaurant and bar, Ivy Asia, will be available from 17 May."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"An iconic celebrity haunt with beautiful and bold interiors, a retractable rooftop and downstairs bar of gorgeous green decor, The Ivy is an Instagrammer's paradise. If you're looking for pretty food, they've got it."

"The Great Northern branch of Home Sweet Home offers an afternoon tea with a difference. As well as a selection of loose leaf teas or coffees and a tier of mini open bagels with maple cured BLT and smoked salmon, there is also a tier of fresh churros. The warm Spanish style doughnuts are dusted with cinnamon sugar and Dreamcheese frosting and served with warm Nutella dip and fresh strawberries."

"Home Sweet Home is a go-to for cheap breakfast in Manchester, offering an all-American take on the classic meal. Chomp away on juicy fried chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict and stacks of pancakes all washed down with fresh coffee, shakes and brunch cocktails."

"From the makers of Altrincham’s Market House food hall, this city-centre spin-off corrals a similarly stellar lineup of traders (burger and steak stars Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Pico’s Tacos, New Wave Ramen, Mumma’s Fried Chicken) into Mackie Mayor, in the Grade II-listed former Smithfield market. Look out for irregular special events, such as dinners on 1 and 8 July with hotly tipped Manc pop-up Higher Ground, creators of the already-legendary oxtail madras pasty. No bookings, outdoor seating available, app-ordering, currently card-only."

"Owned by the team behind the incredibly successful Altrincham market, Mackie Mayor may be a newcomer to the Northern Quarter but it’s already so popular that you’ll struggle to get a seat at weekends. Instead, why not visit in the evening on a weekday or rock up for breakfast before the crowds appear?. Whether you choose to sit up on the mezzanine and photograph the view or get up close and personal and document your dinner, this is the place to be seen."

"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. Available for one day only, tuck into their crêpes filled with house-made chocolate praline sauce and preserved blood orange slices, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream."

"Albert Schloss is a bavarian-style bar located on Peter Street, between Deansgate and St Peter Square. It’s a very cool place to go for a drink or food in the evening. They often have live music and people are usually dancing everywhere!"

"What: With two locations – one in Barton Arcade and one in Spinningfields – this speciality coffee and brunch spot has proven it’s a popular choice for all occasions, whether it’s a quick coffee catch up, business meeting or lazy weekend brunch. Folk tend to come here for an exceptional brew served with a smile, but food oughtn’t be overlooked. Colourful plates of breakfast and brunch classics, from egg and avo on toast to fluffy French toast and corn fritters are just some of the tasty offerings Pot Kettle Black serves alongside a range of vegan and gluten-free options."

"Deansgate’s Barton Arcade plays host to Pot Kettle Black – a glass fronted coffee haven that has Mancunians flocking from all over the city. I’m yet to see PKB empty, which is testament to their consistently high standards and some of the best coffee in the City. Also a sanctuary for freelancers I’m not the first to have spent an entire day in PKB, keeping fuelled by their beverages and snacks and I’m positive that I won’t be the last."

"Set up by two St Helen’s rugby players, PKB is forward thinking coffee house with a health-conscious edge. Owners Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan run a tight ship, with staff serving up an impressive range of brews. Andif the caffeine hit isn’t enough to wake you up in the morning, they also run PKBlasters workout sessions - an energising workout to start the day,"

"Situated just along from the Arndale, this Northern Quarter cafe is perfect for a healthy shopping break. It features all of our favourite kinds of healthy food, such as banana bread (well, it does contain fruit), smashed avocado and French toast. It’s also ranked 11/1,752 restaurants in Manchester on TripAdvisor, so we really think we’re onto a winner with this one!"

"Having conquered Northern Quarter with their Aussie-style brunch bowls, Federal has opened another charming spot in Deansgate. Expect the same easy breezy vibes, alongside healthy plates that include a winning banana bread."

"City-centre favourite Federal offers an all-day brunch until 6pm, as well as a range of sandwiches, bagels and amazing coffee. We recommend The Turkish Eggs. View this post on Instagram"

"With a combination of delicious food, great wines and a real ambience, Café Rouge has embodied the style and je ne sais quoi of French dining since it opened way back in 1989. Now with over 90 sites across the country it's just the place to mull over…"

"Situated in the centre of Birkdale village, Villaggio Cucina serves the best and freshest seasonal produce, Italian cheeses, meat and seafood that reflect traditional flavours. We highly recommend discovering a brand new wine while you dine here, as the offering is far reaching and top quality. Menus and more here."

"South of the border' passion is always served up at Chiquito. A menu of bold Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is prepared however the diner likes it."
