Bites in Manchester

“Good food, didn't take long for it to arrive. Can pay by either cash or bank transfer (not card) highly recommend Lenny's large breakfast yummy”

“Food is top notch and had a great meal. Walked in and kinda stood in the middle awkwardly waiting to been seen too, it looked like they were having issues with one of the machines, thought someone would have acknowledged us or asked if we wanted a seat (if someone said hi be with you in a second we won't of felt weird, like we were in the middle of their service). We approached one of the waitresses and asked if we can sit outside, found a space and was given a menu, asked if we wanted a drink straight away but said we needed time to review the menu as it was our first time here. Our waitress was very younger and honest with her description about the food. The menu sounded tasty and wanted to try it all, but settled for the eggs Benedict, my partner getting the salmon and I got the bacon. Ordered a passion fruit smoothie and a pineapple smoothie too, these came out very quickly and were very refreshing, the passion fruit was sweet and sharp and was a decent amount. We were told that my bacon dish would come out later as they ran out of supplies and asked if I was happy to wait and I agreed, 5minutes later both of our meals came out and looked fantastic! The garlic spinach was bang on, not over powering at all, the bacon was real bacon, tasted of good quality and decent amount and the eggs were a little over for my liking but tasty none the less. The potatoes were well seasoned and very crispy, enjoyed dipping into some ketchup. Fantastic meal and highly recommend it. My partners dish looks scrumptious too. After both finishing our meals, we were satisfied and happy with the meal we had just had but wanted a sweet treat. We ordered a plate of pancakes to share, best decision of the day. Three beautifully stack pillows with caramelised banana in-between with just the right amount of Nutella on.. the picture can not convey how tasty this was! Although we had a great experience here, some other patrons didn't, two people had a delay with their coffee which they made very clear to the rest of the diners, telling everyone how they had waited a long time as they left, turns out busy bees were having issues with the coffee machine and the diners were told, even given a brownie for the delay but still left disgruntled. Another table waited the entire length of our meal (two courses) to be served hers only to be packaged up for her to take away. Amazing to have something like this so close to us and can't wait to visit again, it is new and more can be done to refine the service making it more smooth and to help all patrons have the same experience but I'm really happy something like this is here (Perhaps giving roles or sections/tables to stop doubling up (one table was asked if the food was okay by three different waitresses)). Definitely coming back again for the food, well worth a visit!”

“Grabbed a quick coffee and brownie from the carrs hut! They were both absolutely delicious and the lady running it was lovely! Definitely want to come back”

“Perfect place for a girls brunch! Food was delicious and staff were excellent! Very reasonable prices! Will definitely be back ❤️”

“Great cafe 10 minute drive from chill factore / Trafford centre. Small / medium sized cafe, no booking taken over the phone for breakfast, first come first served. We arrived @ 11am and it was very busy. Had to wait about 20 mins for a table but was absolutely worth it and staff where polite and kept us updated whilst we waited. Brunch menu served till 12.30 Cooked breakfast / loaded potato skins / smoked salmon & egg / pancakes etc…. Went for the big cooked breakfast which was truly superb. Hashbrowns i think are home made, and lovely, as re the Cumberland sausage etc. The whole thing was big and filling Would definitely recommend and will return again.”

“Really excellent service and quality of food. Served a big group of us and all really enjoyed. Would recommend to family and friends!”

“Foods up their. Would be nice if they opened Sunday mornings. I reckon they could make a good fortune there”

“Love this cafe used to go to their cafe in Stockport and now drive 5 miles every Saturday food is great and the most reasonably priced around and we love the coffee. Staff are great”

“This cafe appears to be run by two churches for community purposes. The food was nice, The service was excellent and the atmosphere was relaxed”

“They're one of the best cafes around. Staff is super friendly and the place is spotless. They'll get more customers if they offer more food types, like pastries and cakes.”

“Robina and John are the most wonderful neighbours to have over the road from Hive Stores. They both work very hard to bring a lot more joy and creativity to the neighbourhood and are always willing to help where they can. The waiting room cafe has the best value full English around and the engine room is set to become a great creative hub. Whilst enjoying breakfast on our day off we conversed with familiar faces from the local neighbourhood who were enjoying crafts and socialising in a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Robina and John for always helping, making us laugh and generally being authentic people. You've created a great space!”

“Super food .good friendly service park at door back again”

“The food is amazing, and the staff are awesome and welcoming. Very much my happy place!”

“Lovely staff, great value. Good healthy options and proper breakfasts if you want to indulge.”

“The staff is lovely and taught me a lot about Manchester. They truly seemed to care about the food quality and were very friendly and conversational. The food is fresh and the afternoon tea is worth every pence (also very affordable compared to other afternoon teas). It's a lot of food too!”

“Now we’re talking. La Collina was a treat - they have a short, simple home-made lunch menu. I had gnocchi with Bolognaise sauce. Perfect portion size. Coffee was delicious and forced myself to have a pistachio cannoli alongside it. Matt the chef is a focused on flavour and dishes with a twist - you can taste it. Nice space to work from too. Back soon. BACK AGAIN: La Collina is a hidden gem. The menu is developing from daytime only into an evening offering too. Matt, the creator and chef is passionate about the menu. New menu dropping in mid August. Go there.”

“Great sandwich Bar best cheese salad sandwich made fresh. Would recommend.”

“Fantastic night at Whittles. Its a great live music venue and highly recommended. Great night with live band Rio Gold. They are a brilliant Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran tribute. Loved it...”

“Great local pub . You can come in on your own or with loads of friends and still made to feel welcome . staff are so friendly and prices font break the bank”

“Lovely community pub night - what lovely vibes. Would highly recommend!”

“Although I live some three miles away, and have my own local, I always enjoy coming in here for a change! Usually early doors on Mondays. Love it. Thanks all!”

“Ooof I cant explain how wonderful this place is. Just tricky if you are in a bigger group. Every time I am in Altrincham I do come here. So don't misunderstand. Awesome place. X x”

“Recommended me some great wines that I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise and they were all greatly received. Would visit here over a supermarket any day of the week.”

“Excellent!!! Definitely five stars! Brought my six year old here today and it was brilliant! Really cheap and such good fun. Staff brilliant, really helpful and friendly. One staff member in particular helped us a lot with the bigger wall and harnesses. We are 100% coming back. If you're an adult and accompanying a child, wear comfortable clothes because if you're physically able to join in; you will definitely want to! Excellent place. They also serve food and have good facilities.”

“We had a wonderful stay at Dakota Hotel Manchester and it truly felt like a pure luxury experience from start to finish. The decor throughout the hotel is absolutely stunning, elegant, modern, and beautifully finished, giving the whole place a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The staff were exceptional, warm, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant, always happy to help and making us feel valued as guests. Our room was amazing, spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated with high quality finishes that made it feel both stylish and incredibly comfortable. The food and drinks were outstanding. Everything we tried was full of flavour, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care and attention to detail. The bar area in particular was a lovely place to relax, with an impressive selection of cocktails and a refined ambience. The hotel’s location is another huge plus. It is only about a six minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station, which made getting in and out of the city completely effortless. Overall, Dakota Hotel Manchester delivers a true five star experience. Luxurious surroundings, exceptional service, fantastic food, and a perfect central location, we could not have asked for a better stay and would absolutely return.”

“We had our son's 11th birthday party here recently, and it was a great experience - it's such good value, especially the bowling time, the arcade games and the food is lovely. Aleina in particular was a wonderful host who took really good care of us all. This is the third year in a row we've had birthday parties at the Light, and it never disappoints!”

“A hidden gem. I bought some take away vegan cakes. Brilliant, the blueberry muffin cake was fab! Update 22/11 - Saw Andrew White in the comedy space. Excellent gig. 10/10 Hot drinks would have been great on this icy evening.”

“Nice place. Good food fast service and good size portions”
