Closer to town, meanwhile, The Blues Kitchen on Quay Street, The Menagerie in Salford and Northern Quarter favourite Evelyn’s Cafe and Bar both also made the list.

Known for its rich American-style barbeque food, The Blues Kitchen hosts a popular bottomless brunch offering with unlimited drinks. Dish choices include ‘small plates’ like smashed avocado blue corn tostadas and Szechuan baby back ribs, and mains ranging from huevos rancheros to Cajun spiced blackened salmon.

It’s not hard to see why they made the list and great to see the Manchester brunch and Sunday roast scene growing bigger and better.
