10 places that will deliver dessert to your door in Manchester
"Just a stones throw away across the road from Steam Yard is The Lucky Fox. Even though it’s most famous for it’s amazing fried chicken, waffles and lucky shakes, which everyone in there is always trying to get the perfect Instagram of, it is also a super ideal place to grab a coffee. It’s quirky decor and American style dinner atmosphere, creates a completely different vibe to your standard coffee and brunch outing, making it a truly unique spot in Sheffield and a new rival in the coffee shop scene."

Heavily influenced by the kind of cool American eateries you’d find in Brooklyn, Lucky Fox specialises in fried chicken, waffles and deliciously messy sandwiches. Although it won’t be low calorie, brunch here is always a foodie adventure – perfect for anyone growing tired of the traditional British take on brunch."
"A post shared by The Cabin (@thecabinsheffield) on Jan 30, 2018 at 9:59am PST. Situated on trendy Sheffield thoroughfare Ecclesall Road, The Lucky Fox specialises in American-inspired grub. On Pancake Day you can enjoy a tower of pancakes drenched in Nutella, or topped with mixed fruit for £5."
"Not because it's hugely over-hyped (which it is) and not because, at weekends, the queue for a table will sap your will to live. No, I almost didn't include it because AF sells itself in a very un-Manchester tone of, not hipster cool exactly, more lippy idiocy. On the website and on the walls, there is a lot of attitude and a lot of pointless posturing about its take-it-or-leave-it, love-us-or-hate-us untamed approach."
"Five-star hotel The Lowry underwent a swanky new makeover in late 2019, including a new look for the two-AA-rosette restaurant and bar. Their luxurious dining & drinking terrace is the perfect place to relax out of reach of the bustle of the city centre. With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."
"Situated in The Lowry Hotel on the Manchester/ Salford border, this fine dining breakfast menu is unbeatable. The restaurant itself is glass-walled and overlooks the Santiago Calatrava’s Trinity Bridge. The decor includes purple leather chairs, semi-circular banquettes, Fornasetti plates and mirrors."
"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."
"A firm favourite amongst Manchester's celebs, The Ivy Spinningfields boasts some of the city's most swoon-worthy interiors. For the perfect alfresco brunch?. Head through the main restaurant to the chic rooftop garden where you can tuck into British dishes under a the sun."
"Modern Australian food with Indonesian and Japanese influences, served in a glamorous subterranean venue in Spinningfields. Pacific Rim flavours are underpinned by classic European cooking techniques in a menu that spans sushi and sashimi to robata grilled meat and fish. Don’t miss the signature black cod."
"Enter through the curious glass pyramid, down a rabbit hole into the subterranean restaurant. The décor here is like the dress code of a flash nightclub: there’s a strict ‘no colours’ policy. White, accented by more white, bare brick and a splash of cream."
"Find the glass pyramid and find one of Manchester's most luxurious restaurants. A haven of white washed wood and a seriously chic take on beach style, Australasia is inspired by Down Under, with a menu that leans towards Japan with sushi and steaks."
"Another one that you'll have to exercise patience for is the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music), which is - understandably - prioritising the return of students and tutors. You can see the latest updates at www.rncm.ac.uk."
"The Royal Northern College of Music is an internationally acclaimed conservatoire, as well as an eclectic performance venue delivering a diverse programme of music and opera performances."
"The first public events will return to the Stoller Hall from June 7. Shows will be socially-distanced with reduced capacities initially, but there are hopes that it will be back to near-full capacity by September. See more and book tickets at stollerhall.com/whats-on."
"The Stoller Hall is situated in the heart of Manchester and offers a personal live music experience that puts you closer to the music. The concert hall delivers a programme including classical, folk and jazz music, as well as spoken word and comedy."
"Gino’s is the newbie on Market Street, a small parlour that channels Italy from the music to the ingredients used in the gelato that’s made fresh every day. Tuck into the smooth Ferrero Rocher or the refreshing classic strawberry gelato – or any of the fabulous flavours – in a tub, cone, on a waffle, in a milkshake or even on a pancake."
