The top 25 places for the best breakfast and brunch in Manchester
From bacon naan rolls, to your classic loaded avocado smash, full English fry ups and more, these are some of Manchester's best breakfast and brunch spots.
It’s often called the ‘most important meal of the day’, and we’d have to agree, especially when Manchester has some of the best breakfast and brunch spots around.Yeah, you heard us.
Whether you’re an early morning riser in need of a hangover cure in the form of a full English, or just want a fun, filling brunch date, your belly’s guttural call for some proper decent scran is not to be ignored.
That said, the breakfast debate can be a heated one; sugary pancakes versus a big, greasy fry-up, or even a simple but refreshing granola with yoghurt, fruit and a glass of OJ?
No matter which camp you fall into, this list of the best places for breakfast and brunch in Manchester has a little of everything, meaning you don’t have to pick sides — unless if by sides, you’re referring to an extra portion of hash browns. Anyway, let’s stop messing about, we’re starving. In no particular order…
The best Manchester brunch and breakfast spots

A Manc favourite and multiple-time winner at the Manchester Food and Drink Awards, Federal always provides top-quality coffee and delicious Aussie-inspired food from its NQ, Deansgate and Circle Square sites. Listen, we know those queues can be crazy sometimes, but so is that absolutely class bagel and a brew deal. Don’t even get us started on the steak and eggs.

2. Another Heart To Feed — Northern Quarter and Burton Road

Strictly walk-ins only, Another Heart To Feed has two locations: one in the NQ and one on Burton Road in Didsbury, but both are just as good as each other. Not only is it another Antipodean offering but the smashed avocado, feta, and beetroot hummus is the stuff of legend and probably one of the most Instagrammed brunches in Manchester. The Turkish eggs with dill labneh on sourdough are unreal.
Well, of course, Dishoom was always going to be on the list of the best breakfasts in Manchester because it’s literally god-tier. From their epic bacon naan rolls to spicy scrambled eggs and chilli cheese toast, Dishoom’s breakfast menu takes inspiration from Irani cafes and plonks it right in the middle of one of the city’s most beautiful settings: the old Masons’ building alongside Manchester Hall.

4. Fress — NQ

An incredibly popular place for breakfast and brunch in Manchester, dishes at Fress are served from 9am-4pm and it’s strictly walk-ins only. The Brekkie Beast, Posh Beans on Toast, Dunkin’ Brekkie Tacos’ and ‘What Hangover’, Chicken Waffles are our top picks, and, if you’re feeling boozy, you can make it a bottomless one for 90 minutes — but that’s a whole other list entirely.
5. Evelyn’s — NQ

A strong NQ favourite, Evelyn’s is a great place to go with family and friends for a cosy and relaxed morning. Open from 10am in the week and 9 on weekends, brunch here is served right up until 5pm, so you’ve plenty of time to enjoy. You can’t go wrong with the shakshuka or buttermilk pancakes, but the more adventurous small plates like pineapple-cured seatrout and Taiwanese fried chicken are also dynamite. Better still, you can always come back in the evening for a nice date night at The Daisy.
6. Pot Kettle Black — Barton Arcade and Angel Gardens

Originally a coffee bar, Pot Kettle Black also has its own micro-bakery which provides all the tasty cakes, pretzel buns and more that you can enjoy on their menu. Brunch is served here from 8am-3pm with their brekkie buns and the Monte Cristo cheese toasties being two of the biggest staples. PKB also serves a cracking vegan brunch featuring bircher muesli, coconut porridge, chai-soaked fruit and Asian scrambled tofu on sourdough toast. Another Australsian-inspired and all-time classy spot, this one.

7. The Koffee Pot — NQ

Shoutout to all the greasy spoon lovers, this is your haven. Koffee Pot has been proudly “creating and curing hangovers since 1978”. For full English lovers, vegan breakfasters, veggie fanatics, pancake connoisseurs and eggs benny bros, this is your spot. Proper, proper scran and easily one of the best breakfast places in Manchester.
For our money, Idle Hands is comfortably up there with one of the best breakfast and brunch places in Manchester. In fact, our very own Sophey picked this as her absolute favourite. The ‘Cowboy Beans’ have ruined all other beans for us, the ‘Divorce Eggs’ tacos are as tasty as they are amusingly named, not to mention there are always banging cakes on offer if you want dessert for breakfast.
Next up is Takk, one you’ll be plenty familiar with if you’re a student or spent any time in Hatch over the past few years. Known for top-quality coffee, solid cakes and baked goods, as well as some tasty butties over at the Dale Street venue, there’s plenty to like about this place but, if we had to pick a favourite, it’d have to be the honey glazed oregano chicken sandwich served on Uni Green. My goodness.
10. Kong’s — NQ
It was a bittersweet moment saying goodbye to CBRB earlier this year, as although we lost one of Manchester’s best ramen and restaurants, in general, it did give way to the latest iteration of Kong’s Kitchen. Known for popping up in the likes of Hatch and Dog Bowl, they’ve gone from making mint sandwiches to pancake tacos (yes, you heard us) and fried chicken French toast. Every cloud…
Comfortably one of the best Manchester brunch, breakfast and food spots full stop, Ezra and Gil‘s consistent quality and ever-improving menus saw them open up a second location on Peter St not long ago and they’re now bigger than ever. We’d happily eat here any time but from brekkie, it’s got to be the ‘nduja scrambled eggs or the brioche french toast for us. This just so happens to be Bella’s fave too:
Again, when you ask someone to tell you the best places for brunch in Manchester, the answer is quite often Elnecot. Boasting a brilliant evening reputation as it is, this Ancoats go-to also makes for a great late-morning/early-afternoon eating experience, and they also do it differently than most other spots. We’re talking crispy pork belly, hash browns and kimchi, pulled harissa lamb shoulder with goats curd, slow-cooked coconut seasonal greens in white miso, potato brioche breakfast buns and so much more.
13. Pollen — New Islington and Kampus

From a slightly bougie pick to a vibe that we simply can’t find any faults with, it’s Pollen. We feel like we’re saying this a lot already, but not only is it one of the best Manchester brunch spots around but the bakery itself has quickly become iconic. It’s no wonder they’ve expanded into Kampus and as for what to eat, we’d seriously vouch for it all, just make sure you go on a Saturday and grab a cruffin for the road. If there’s any left, that is.
Along Oldham Street in the Northern Quarter, you’ll find the cutest little caff called the Fig + Sparrow and if, for some reason, you’ve never had the urge to nip for a coffee or sit outside with a breakfast butty, then you haven’t truly lived a Manchester experience in our books. All that being said, you have to order the beans on toast, simply because it comes with a tiny little cheese grater. Adorable.
15. Lucky Ramen – Ancoats
Lucky Ramen in Ancoats brunch menuLucky Ramen in Ancoats brunch menu
One of Manchester’s best ramen spots has branched out into brunch, and it is already phenomenal. Rocketing immediately onto our list of the best brunches in Manchester, Lucky has a morning menu filled with Asian influences, like Korean fried chicken on French toast, a miso and shiitake mushroom carbonara (yep, pasta for breakfast), and a take on eggs Benedict that includes Indonesian pork belly bacon and spicy hollandaise.
Let’s mix things up. For those of you who haven’t had Hong Kong-style breakfast before, let alone knew there was even a place in Manchester to do so, let us clue you in. Hong Kong-style French toast is gorgeous, they do spam and eggs that would make your grandparents proud and their all-day breakfast option comes with tea, toast and… noodles. Trust us, it works — it all works.
From an out-of-the-box option to something so familiar and reliable it’s been just as good when we’ve had it in Leeds and Liverpool, Moose Coffee is one of the best when it comes to Manchester breakfast. Bringing Canadian breakfast to Mancs right on the doorstep of Piccadilly Station and over on York St, it is literally impossible for us to tell you just one thing you should eat here. There’s simply so much on the menu and it’s all so different — just be glad we sent you there.
A lesser-known spot of sorts as we continue to find people who didn’t get the memo, this little artisan café is from meat masters, The Butcher’s Quarter, and is based out of the Manchester Craft and Design Centre on Oak St. Breakfast butties on Holy Grain! buns and fresh pastries in the morning; hot roast sandwiches, soups, charcuterie boards and cocktails in the afternoon. You best find this hidden gem like yesterday.
19. Albert’s Schloss — Deansgate
Now, no list of the best Manchester breakfast and brunch places is complete with the old faithful, Albert’s Schloss. We’re usually drunk when we’re in this place but we promise, before the bottomless part starts and the usual late-night drinking and dancing on benches begins, they serve up some of the best pancakes, filled croissants, sausages and some absolutely addictive spritzes.
Arguably the greatest and certainly the busiest lunchtime spot of all time, Katsouris‘ legacy is unparalleled. Starting out over in Bury all the way back in 1969 and going on to become one of the most legendary locations for all things breakfast and brunch, it etched itself into the best of Manchester’s food history a long time ago. Grab yourself a breakfast ciabatta or one of their massive fry-ups and then come back later for your dinner. We can’t tell you how many times we’ve done that and left no room for tea.
21. Trof — NQ
We will never stop loving Trof and it serves up some of the best breakfast and brunch items in town from 9am to 3pm. It’s got all the usual suspects — breakfast baps, eggs your way, avo on toast etc. — but it’s also a serious contender for one our favourite brunches in Manchester city centre. The weekly brunch club where you can grab a coffee and a butty from £7 from 9am-12 noon speaks for itself.
Heading just up the road to the edge of the Northern Quarter and onto Shudehill, you’ll find Cafe North, an independent spot that’s been serving up some of the best full English breakfasts in Manchester, fresh sarnies and salads, various loose-leaf teas and much more for ages now. Gun to our head, though, we’d have to pick the Oreo French toast and we could probably eat two lots of it. Yum.
We’re getting to the tail-end of things now but the hotspots just keep coming. As you wander back into NQ, you’ll stumble upon the somewhat unassuming 19 Cafe Bar, just next to Chapter One Books (also a lovely little cafe, by the way). Head inside, however, and you’ll find amazing pancakes, more sumptuous French toast and one of the best Irish breakfasts you’ll find in Manchester. It’s always the quiet ones.
24. Acai & the Tribe — Deansgate Mews
It’s the penultimate stop on our tour of the best breakfast and brunch places in Manchester, and we’ve found ourselves up on the Deansgate Mews and Acai and the Tribe, i.e. a breakfast spot that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’ve doubled in size on the way out. Beyond the obvious health bowls of acai, porridge, granola and so on, their smoothies are next level and, try as we might, we don’t think we’ll ever bake anything as good as their chocolate banana loaf.
Last but not least, we have one of the most uplifting local hospitality stories. Feel Good Club looked like it might close before it even got going during covid but has since expanded and looks set to stay for good. This place wears its positive physical and mental health ethos on its sleeve, with £2 ginger shots, a hugely popular vegan selection and this slice of heaven called mac and cheese on garlic toast. Oh. My. Days. That dish alone makes it one of the best breakfast places in Manchester.
Despite suffering yet another setback after being broken into last year, this place just keeps getting stronger and more popular by the day. It also doesn’t hurt that we really like the merch, not that we just fill our wardrobes with garms from random food spots in town or anything… You always feel good after you’ve eaten here and you’re part of the club you second you step in the door. It’s a lifestyle, not a brand.
And that’s it, that’s your lot: those were our best breakfast and brunch places in Manchester and although there were obviously too many to put in order (we’re not that good at playing favourites), that should be more than enough for you and you to get started.
It goes without saying that there are countless other great spots all around the city and across Greater Manchester, but we just simply couldn’t include them all otherwise we’d be here all day — this is already a long enough list as it is.
Now, go away and have the best weekend full of breakfast, brunch and good vibes.

Five of the best alcohol-free bars in Manchester you can enjoy this Dry January
Danny Jones
Listen, quite of a few us here at The Manc are giving Dry January a go again this year and if there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that it isn’t always the alcohol that we miss but more the feeling of sitting around a bar with your mates, drink in hand and talking rubbish, not a care in the world.
These days, alcohol-free stuff is getting pretty good and if you’re having a good enough time chatting away with you and yours, be it your partner, a loved one, your bestie or otherwise, you’ll be surprised how quickly you forget there’s you’re gulping down a zero or low-alcohol alternative.
Whether it’s a wheaty bottle of Erdinger, a cold pint of Lucky Saint, a fruity mocktail or even a crisp 0% gin and tonic, they all quench your thirst just as good as the real thing, only without any damage to your health and without the hangover the next morning.
We’re not going to pretend we don’t love a few beers at the weekend or a vino after a long day, but Dry Jan is a positive challenge we can all get behind and it doesn’t have to mean staying in or saying bye to the pub — so here’s five Manchester bars that do alcohol-free or low percentage booze really well.
Five zero-percent and alcohol-free friendly bars in Manchester
1. Hinterland – Northern Quarter
Opening up back in June 2024, Hinterland is currently Manchester’s only permanent and purpose-built alcohol-free bar and cafe, and while the place might be booze they’ve certainly added a real cosiness and creativity to the space. Oh yeah, it also happens tp be tucked away under the Buddhist Centre.
Roomy and with no reservations needed, dog-friendly, not to mention serving fresh cakes, bakes and a fully-fledged food menu from vegan heroes, Wholesome Junkies – who are now the main vendors of the basement bar – this place has grown pretty quickly.
It’s also become a vital community corner for those trying to come off drink, already in recovery or even just the sober-curious, as they host numerous events throughout the year to help people learn more about zero-alcohol living as well as socialise and meet new people on similar journeys. A wonderful spot.

2. Feel Good Club – Northern Quarter
Next up is a place that’s been at the forefront of wellbeing culture in the region since it first opened in 2020, came back fighting after an unfortunate break-in and has been serving up Mancs, healthy food, non-alcoholic bevs that will knock your socks off and nothing but good vibes ever since.
Located just on the corner of Hilton Street in the NQ, where it’s fair to say you’ll find some of Manchester’s very best pubs and bars, the regular crowds and easily enticed newcomers Feel Good Club pulls in will never make you feel like you’re missing out or should have wandered in elsewhere.
You can come in here for a tipple if you want but, honestly, there’s nothing like enjoying something off their all-day lunch and brunch menu followed by a ‘sober dolly’, ‘sober elton’ or one of their regularly rotating zero-alcohol cans of IPA. They even published their debut book, A guide to feeling good and being okay with it when you’re not in 2022 and do their own merch. Look good feel good and all that.

3. New Century – Victoria
In at number three is one of the city centre‘s best new food vendor halls, bars and entertainment venues, which just so happens to be doing a very good deal to kick off the year too, which they’ve appropriately dubbed ‘Dry Scranuary’.
We’re talking about New Century over in the heart of the regenerated NOMA district and not only is the ground floor of this big open-plan venue the perfect place for you and a bunch of mates to pile into and have a bite, but they’re also giving you an extra incentive to do so whilst staying off the sauce.
Throughout all of January, you can get a free non-alcoholic beverage with any main all-day from Wednesday to Sunday and, hey, you can always head upstairs for a gig afterwards as well. Sold.
Now, if you fancy sipping and savouring something fancy whilst still feeling like you’re treating yourself to something a bit posh and special as somewhat of a reward for another day of Dry Jan down, why not do it at a bar that’s been named best in the UK two years running and one of the best in the world?
Schofield’s is the kind of place where you’re not going in to get drunk in the first place: you’re there to take in the atmosphere and aesthetic, appreciate the immaculate service and admire the expertly made drinks. Lucky for you, they have an entire menu packed with non-alcoholic concoctions.
Stylised as their ‘Temperance’ selection, you can enjoy everything from a colourful Club Tropicana to a classic Virgin Mary or even a ‘Frosty Toddy’: honey, ginger, lemon and soda. Sweet, simple and sublime. If there’s anyone who can make a drink that doesn’t need any alcohol in it, it’s these wizards.
The fifth and final entry on our whistle-stop tour of Manchester bars that are great at low percentage and alcohol-free libations is the one and only Zouk Tea Bar and Grill over on Chester Street.
Serving up some of the best Indian and Pakistani food you’ll find in any of the 10 boroughs, not to mention a firm favourite amongst almost everyone in the office, this popular restaurant situated just off the Oxford Road Corridor doesn’t just serve up banging food but some of the best mocktails you’ll find.
With five different types of mojito – including their much-loved ‘special’ – cosmos, daiquiris, pina coladas and our personal preference, the ‘Summer of 69’ (mango and pineapple juice with passion fruit, lime and a shot of grenadine), there’s something for everyone. The perfect kind of refreshment to pair with mounds of bottomless Zouk curry or brunch. Might as well whilst you’re there.

As always with these lists, this is just a taste of the low and alcohol-free options Manchester has to offer these days as Britain continues to reassess its bar and binge culture.
For starters, places like the Printworks have such a healthy selection of mocktails, low and no-alcohol drinks at the likes of O’Neills, Bierkeller, Hard Rock Cafe, Boom Battle Bar and more that you’d never had to walk for more than a few yards between tipples. They’re even offering £20 off through their app.
Other honourable mentions have to go to the likes of the award-winning brains behind Blinker Bar, the stylish but unpretentious cocktails specialists at Stray, the charming Parisian-inspired drinks at The Daisy, the marvellous mocktail menu at Etçi Mehmet and so many others.
But a month goes by in a flash and we didn’t want to ram a load of bars down your throat, so this handful should do you just fine. Instead of making Dry January feel like a slog or a chore, let’s keep that lovely feeling of having a social drink going and remember it’s about who’s cheersing the glass, not what’s in it.
Lastly, we couldn’t talk about alcohol-free bars without touching on the pop-up that arguably started it all: LoveFrom, which sadly announced its closure back in July 2024.
But fear not, founder Karl Considine says the one-time Kampus resident has insisted they will be back in the near future and we can only thank people like Karl for getting the ball rolling when it comes to the alcohol-free bar scene here in Manchester city centre.
If you’re looking to make the most of your visits to bars and restaurants around Greater Manchester in January, you can find all the best deals down below.
Best of luck for the rest of Dry Jan and whether you’re counting down the days to that first drop or turning over a new leaf, we know you can do it.
A dozen major new openings coming to Greater Manchester and beyond in 2025
Thomas Melia
GreaterManchester is already bursting at the seams with wonderful restaurants, shops and buildings, but surely we always have room to squeeze in more new openings each year.
As 2024 comes to a close we can celebrate some incredible Manc wins like, getting our own Jellycat store in Selfridges or the innovative K-beauty store, Pureseoul, which landed in Manchester Arndale in November.
2024 also saw the St John’s neighbourhood take shape, with openings like Fenix, Courts Club and Caravan well and truly up and running.
And of course, who could forget the launch of Co-op Live? The huge new arena has already hosted some seriously big names and there’s plenty more to come in 2025.
Manchester’s landscape is an ever-changing one and with the list below already STACKED (hint, hint), it’s safe to say it’s never a dull day for new openings in Manchester.
So here are all the major new launches you can get excited about in the year ahead.
Big new openings in Greater Manchester and beyond | 2025
1. Soho House – Old Granada Studios

It really is out with the old and in with the new, as luxury member’s club Soho House prepares to roost in the Old Granada Studios building.
Set to be a multi-storey hub featuring everything from restaurants to a rooftop pool, this extravagant destination is on track to be one of the most glamorous when it opens next year.
If you’re thinking of lying by the pool and taking an ‘Instagrammable moment’ stop right there! Soho House Manchester, much like its London counterpart, will have a strict no-phones policy, giving everyone complete privacy.
Its opening has been delayed several times over but it’s looking like 2025 will be Soho House’s year.
Alongside Soho House, this once booming TV news building is also welcoming some neighbours in the form of Mollie’s Motel, fit with a contemporary art collection and live music venue.
The Manchester site is trialling out a first for the Americana-inspired motel company as this is not only set to be their first city-centre location but also features studio suites, unlike their two other locations.
However, they aren’t losing all their authentic touches, this Manchester Mollie’s will have a classic diner stocking ‘New Yorker’ peanut butter and jelly pie.

A cross of Japanese and Peruvian delicacies, Chotto Matte is big on flavours and sophistication, with each guest treated to a ‘culinary journey’ through every dish they serve.
They really meant business with this restaurant as not only is it ‘high class’ it’s also high altitude, situated on the rooftop of Gary Neville’s St Michael’s development.

Launching the careers of many of our favourite soap stars and breaking the hearts of many locals with its closure in 2023, Oldham Coliseum is ready to return to reign supreme once again.
From Charlie Chaplin to Corrie greats like Bill Roache (Ken Barlow), this North West theatre has said hello to quite a few famous faces over the years.
After plans were announced not too long ago for a new multi-million pound but much smaller new site, it’s great to see this drama institution remain in its original and much-loved home instead, with a major refurbishment planned.
Opening in time for Christmas/Panto season 2025 – read more HERE.
5. Power Hall – Science and Industry Museum

Since 2019, this incredible part of Manchester’s Science and Industry Museum has been closed for restoration works and has been dearly missed by all visitors.
The plan for this renovation sees the Museum preserve its original historic elements while making way for new spaces for playing and learning in.
There will also be a gantry crane connected to the Power Hall which towers an impressive 8 metres high and 72 metres wide, wow.
6. National Portrait Gallery Unframed – MediaCity, Salford

The London-based gallery is moving up North to create a ‘ground-breaking’ new experience which sees paintings in a completely new light, literally.
Some of the world’s most famous paintings are about to be brought to life in an immersive digital experience, in collaboration with FRAMELESS Creative.
The long-term partnership which will be based in Salford is bringing new art experiences to wider audiences via an all-new digital exhibition.
This site will be designed around an expansive open plaza which will house a large stage, perfect for all varieties of family-friendly events and shows.
This Oxford Road hotspot is bringing a much-loved concept for visitors and locals alike combining street food with live entertainment and bars, a perfect city centre attraction.

Nothing like a bit of shrubbery to break up the grey-scale skyscraper landscape of Manchester and this next new opening has taken it to the next level.
If there’s one thing ‘Treehouse Hotel’ is doing well it’s branding, from the restaurant titled ‘Pip’ to the decked-out green interior and exterior, this place is a nature lover’s paradise and will majorly transform a building that’s been a bit of an eyesore for years.
Making its grand arrival to the massive hotel scene in Manchester, their website seems to hint at a Spring launch with rooms bookable from April onwards.

The steak and seafood specialists will be opening their first site in Manchester and North West as a whole in the spring – this being their third location to date after the OG spot in York and the second site in Leeds, which our Hoot team vouches for wholeheartedly.
With a grand former banking hall being renovated for the new premises over on the corner of Mosley and New York Street, you can expect high-end ingredients turned into gourmet goodness. We’re talking freshly-shucked oysters, caviar; beef tartare, king scallops, fish and chips, steaks and so much more.

From two football stadiums to Victoria Baths, a Grade II-listed swimming pool, Manchester has a lot to say for itself, even more so with Stockport Pyramid, a Northern landmark which is soon to double as an Indian restaurant.
This iconic symbol of Stockport is about to undergo a miraculous transformation into an Indian restaurant and banquet hall, perfect for all foodies SK1 or further afield.
11. More Terminal 2 additions – Manchester Airport

Yes, we know a lot of T2’s large-scale refurbishment has already been completed over the past couple of years, but with the second and final phase of the update already well underway, there’s still a lot more to come in 2025.
Set to be completed by the end of the year, there are still various new shops bars, and restaurants due to open in the coming months – another 22, to be more specific.
A total of £1.3 billion has been pumped into this much-needed and long-awaited renovation and once all is said and done, it will benefit roughly 80% of all passengers travelling in and out of Manchester airport. Maybe 2025 is the year it gets off to a real flyer.
12. Chester Zoo Lodges – Cheshire

And finally, we couldn’t forget our neighbours just down the road. From a green space-themed hotel to a lodge that sees you face to face with all kinds of different animals, 2025 is making us all be at one with nature, and none of us are complaining.

There will be four different styles of lodges all inspired by and themed around traditional timber African safari lodges, with the first plans submitted in 2022.
Some of these incredible new staycation suites overlook a refreshing lake while others are set next to an enclosure full of free-roaming giraffes.
