If brunch isn’t your thing, then keep scrolling….
I love the idea of Brunch… a meal which consists of both breakfast and lunch foods in one. The very idea of combining the two meals together breaks away from the conventions of a set meal time and allows you to satisfy both cravings.
As someone who loves brunch, I have put together a list of my favorite brunch spots in Manchester mapped out below. The first three are based in Manchester’s Northern Quarter. The last one is a bit closer to The University of Manchester and if you’re studying it is a perfect place to go to catch up with friends before parting ways for lectures. If you’re visiting on the weekends, it is best either to get to call ahead and make sure there is space. Around 11 the ones in town can get very busy.
Each of these have such great options for all types of diets. Go and check them out!
- Ezra and Gil
2. Evelyn’s
Again another very cool, modern brunch spot with a cool lighting interior. This place has less on the menu than Ezra and Gil but each brunch choice has been very well thought through so that all the flavours compliment each other. They have the classics like avocado toast but also have unique dishes like Korean rolls and scrambled tofu.
It’s very busy on the weekends so its best to book for this brunch spot. It is a place that I love coming to time and time again. Each picture you take looks wonderful and the place is full of colour and light. Expect to be taken by the look of the place and the presentation of the food. From the wooden furnishings and potted plants, Evelyn’s has a very wholesome, friendly atmosphere.

3. Sugar Junction
This place may not be known for brunches but it should be! There may be less on the menu but the brunch places but the options they do have are delicious. What’s even better is that you combine brunch with some fruit tea (try ‘pucker up lover’) to make it an even more delicious experience.
The layout is very cosy with wooden chairs, books to read on your table and beautiful chandeliers. With many two-seater tables, it is perfect for a 1:1 chat or a winter date.
4. Anchor Cafe
As a student this was a place that my friends and I would love to go to treat ourselves. Just on the border of The University of Manchester campus and Curry Mile, the Anchor Cafe is hidden away for those that know about its existence. Go here for a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel or a strong nice cup of coffee and you won’t be disappointed.
At very good prices you can get the bagel for starters + a cream and strawberry topped waffle + a coffee and for less than ten pounds. The tables are big which makes the space perfect for any kind of family gathering or group meeting that could last over a mealtime.
As someone who loves trying out new places some of these I found late into my studies and was sad I didn’t try earlier. I’d love for you to check these places out. They really made living and studying in Manchester relaxing and enjoyable.
