The best breakfast spots in Manchester
Going out for breakfast is one of my favourite things to do. I wouldn’t be good at recommending bars but I can surely tell you what the best breakfast and brunch spots are!
What are the best places to go for breakfast in Manchester city centre?
Federal Cafe & Bar
Federal Cafe is a must-visit Aussie-inspired spot with an all-day brunch menu.
Their smashed avocado, poached eggs and smoked salmon on toast is my favourite item of the menu. However I’ve seen their French toast and its looks absolutely glorious. I would also recommend treating yourself to a homemade brownie.
Another Heart to Feed
This Melbourne-inspired café is nestled in the Northern Quarter, not far from several fitness studios which makes it the perfect post-workout refuel spot.
The menu features all your breakfast classics, some with a creative twist, such as the Matcha French Toast which is absolutely divine. I’m not a Matcha person, yet I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and I hope it will still be on the menu next time I visit.
The coffee is really good too - I can vouch for their oat cappuccino - and it’s fairly quiet on weekdays in the morning.
Moose Cafe
Moose is a UK chain serving American-style breakfasts and brunches. If you can’t make you mind up, the menu will give you a hard time. There’s literally several dozens of options for egg breakfasts, pancakes and co.
Treat yourself and get the fluffy blueberry pancakes or try the cheesy pancakes with fried eggs, bacon and maple syrup.
Vivid Thai Kitchen
Authentic Thai food, chilled ambiance and great value for money: Vivid Thai Kitchen has it all. I have to admit that I haven’t been very adventurous yet and I only had their coconut porridge which is truly delicious. But the salmon power bowl and papaya salad seem quite interesting.
This place has also a very nice outside area so it’s a good one for breakfast in Manchester during Summer.
Ezra and Gil
Ezra and Gil which respectively mean “helper” and “happiness” is a place of choice for any fan of coffee shops with a unique style. I went there with my boyfriend on a rainy Sunday morning. We sat at a table by the window and could have stayed for hours.
You won’t go wrong with the salmon on rye served with cream cheese and a poached egg (picture at the beginning of the post). Or you can satisfy your sweet tooth with the French toast that comes with berries, white chocolate crumble and some delicious maple mascarpone. This is so far the best breakfast I’ve had in Manchester.
