Brunch
Out of all the meals during the day, these have to be my most favourite. What better way to spend your mornings and early afternoons at one of these places?
Undoubtedly, my go-to hidden gem! My friends and I love eating here often. Can we please talk about their salmon pasta being an absolute dream?! 🥰
Also, don't forget to grab a slice of their freshly-baked cakes which they make daily
Sugar Junction | Northern Quarter (NQ)
Their sugary cinnamon rolls are a MUST-HAVE! Make sure to also get their delicious smoked salmon and avocado on toast too🤎
Hampton & Vouis | Northern Quarter (NQ)
Their smashed avocado is gorgeous with feta; order it, you'll thank me later! 😘
Grind | St Michael's Square
For the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes you'll ever taste, don't walk—run! I'd highly suggest ordering them either with blueberry, maple-cured bacon, eggs, or Nutella. 10/10🤤
Moose Coffee | Manchester City Centre
Queuing up for 15 minutes to get a table here was no joke but so worth it! Believe it or not, this is where I tried hollandaise sauce the first time with my smashed avocado and poached eggs—honestly life-changing.🤩
Federal Café Bar | Northern Quarter (NQ)
As well as loving the artsy contemporary vibe of the interior, the sausage and egg burgers were scrumptious and surprisingly filling!
Bill's | Spinningfields
Their Eggs Florentine on English muffic was to die for, with the spinach adding a nice touch👌🏽
The Spread Eagle | Wandsworth
Delightful breakfast in one of the most colourful cafés I'd seen! A relatively new addition to Rochdale's Riverside area, which did not disappoint.🧡

Rigatoni or ravioli, just give me those carbs
Gusto Italian | Deansgate
Their vegan buttermilk fried chicken is pretty close to the real thing
YES | Oxford Road Corridor
MCR's Chinatown is always a treat! Try out steamed dim-sum—they do some pretty good king prawn chow mein. Their adorable hedgehog buns with ice cream was lush!

Head over and get yourself a plate of lamb spaghettoni and casarecce all'arrabbiata! Will definitely be coming back soon for more of their pasta🍝
Circolo Popolare | St. Michael's Square
A finger-licking experience to say the least! I loved everything I ordered, but some dishes stood out to me. I started off with some juicy crab tacos filled with guacamole and caviar—my first time tasting caviar, mind you. Then, I went with some deli...
