Quick lunch ideas in Manchester

“Love this place, super friendly and relaxed, staff are really welcoming. Great menu (highly recommend the BLT), massive brews, delicious cakes.”

“Gorgeous and delicious food!! Friendly staff ,nice atmosphere!”

“Vibrant area with plenty of restaurants. Arndale centre towers adjacent to the corn exchange which does not have a dedicated car park. Parking can be a nightmare for first timers. The adjacent shopping malls offer paid parking at a premium so allow some time to navigate the maze of road works, one way streets and the short walk to your destination.”

“My experience every time I go to this restaurant is absolutely nice. Great customer service, serene environment and lovely ambience. The only issue is parking because it is located in a very busy area of the city. I would also prefer more comfortable seats. The high-five drink is super amazing. My overall experience so far is good and I will always revisit.”

“Exceptional food, cannot believe some people rank it down, because they don't like veg. They have two menus one for European clientele, your usual Chinese but very tasty and equally tasty Chinese menu for adventurous tastes.”

“My sister and I visited here before a show. She had a voucher from work that she wanted to use that allowed us to order from a set menu. The food was great, apart from the aranchini balls (they seemed a bit greasy). The service was also really good. The only bad thing was we were told at the end that we couldn't give a tip on our cards but we didn't have cash since noone (including them) is accepting cash anymore. We felt a bit bad but we were going to a theatre show and wouldn't have had time to go to a cash machine and come back. Definitely would go back here in the future.”

“Really liked this place. I tried coffee, different types of short bread, a muffin and Chocolate Tiffin. The Tiffin item was the best. I had to spend a very long time at this airport and the chocolate made me feel much better.”

“Love the pizzas and garlic bread with cheese as they out tomato sauce on it but shame about the size of the garlic bread and cheese must be about 3-4inch and only 4 small slices. Pizza is well cooked and nice flavours. I love the cookiea from dominos nice and hot and gooey you get £4 cookies for close to £5.”

“Where do I start with mels butty box what a host great customer service and a quality chef but the food, now let me tell you if you like black pudding and sausages I mean it when I say this you HAVE to try it! Does everything you’d expect good food good prices and knows what works! Definitely try it you won’t regret it.”

The menu isn't overwhelming, yet with lots of choice and the food, well........ Absolutely gorgeous, fresh, full of flavour, and served beautifully. We will most certainly be back.

“Great food and friendly service. My sons says it’s the best takeaway. We go at least once a week for his favourite, chicken and chips with a generous side salad. Always fresh and delicious!”

“Gorgeous cafe. Fits right in with the Underbank development. The coffee is fab and the vegetarian breakfast (smashed avocado with poached eggs and halloumi) was amazing but it's the little touches that nailed it for me: 1. an umbrella stand and a coat stand, ideal when it's a soggy day outside (no dripping all over the cafe) and; 2. a steak knife to cut the sourdough toast. Much underrated. I spotted the cakes as I paid and went back later to sample. The Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake was incredible. Try the mushrooms on toast. Amazing.”

“Best cafe in middleton by far. The food is amazing, the portions are huge and the staff are lovely. 5* all the way”

“Great cafe, real home cooked food. Perfect service, perfect staff. Highly recommended”

“I visited this cafe with a friend for brunch on a late Sunday morning. With the classical music on in the background and the gentle conversations from the other diners, it felt so relaxing. The owners were lovely. The food was delicious. We had eggs benedict and French onion soup. The coffee was lovely too. I will be definitely visiting again.”

“Love the new outside seating area, very continental. These are very strange times and we all want to feel safe when we are out and meeting friends and family and this new outside seating is perfect Well done Chris and the team, it’s wonderful and your coffee cakes are delicious, as always. Update April 2021 Great to see your outside seating area open and looking amazing.”

“Lovely restaurant- really well prepared, thoughtfully cooked food. I’ve been twice now in August 2022, the quality is consistent - really nice taste to everything. Just a little pricey (it is Hale I suppose).”
