Top 30 Best Cafe restaurants in Manchester

“Come for the views, stay for the burger. We went for lunch on a nice Saturday. The views are amazing and the food was even better. We ordered the cheesy cow burger and it was outstanding. The cheese and onion fritter just oozed melted cheese. The beef is top quality. Absolutely stuffed. Had some superb ice cream after. Rum & Raisin and espresso for me, chocolate for my wife. Will definitely be back.”

“Really enjoyed our first visit here,the lemon sole was gorgeous and very friendly staff too”

“Our first visit yesterday together with a friend who had recommended the restaurant to us. We loved it! Although early so very few customers at that time it still had a cosy relaxed atmosphere. The food was delicious and the young man that served us was helpful and charming. We will certainly return and recommend this restaurant highly.”

“Absolutely hidden gem cafe in Stockport with good price. All the food source from the best in local farms. My son Luke loves the sausages so much and so am I. The other favorite is the mushroom soup, fresh made and creamy. If you want some dessert, I would highly recommend the Victoria sponge and fresh made pancake.”

“Great food and superb service at a good price. Highly recommended”

“Excellent relaxed restaurant in the northern quarter. A hidden gem uncovered for me by a friend. Well worth heading to. Will be going again! Service was as good as the food. Pea soup fish & chips & a lemon meringue.”

“I love this place. I'm not a vegetarian. However, everything I have tried from this place is amazing. Would definitely recommend. It also does a variety of different things. One of them being live music. Sometimes it is heavy metal though... my favourite meal is the quesadilla with home made chips and a shake (not decided on my favourite yet). Their staff are friendly and food is affordable too.”

“Booked a table for a get together with friends. The food was fantastic, great service and a lovely waitress! Many thanks and we will definitely be back soon. Highly recommended.”

“I ordered a large breakfast for £5.95. Comes with 2 bacon, 2 sausage, hash brown, 2 eggs, black pudding, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and 2 toast. Plus £1.20 for a cup of tea. It was absolutely delicious and worth every penny. The staff are very friendly and a credit to the cafe.”

Even better its bring your own ALCOHOL and free Corkage which helps keep the bill down making it a affordable evening. Will be back and recommend..........”

“Beautifully cooked curry in the heart of Manchester! The butter chicken Tikka Massala was perfectly flavored and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The naan was really well done as well. I would only say they should put more chicken in it, it seemed like a lot of sauce and not enough substance. But I still really loved it. My girlfriend got kadhai paneer and really enjoyed it as well. Lots of flavors and lots of substance to that dish. Drinks were great as well! The staff seemed kind of all over the place as there were 3 people who came to our table to ask us what we wanted in 2 minutes. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I would love to go again!”
