Cafe in Manchester

“Food was fantastic and the staff was amazing thank you”

“Best park cafe I've ever been to. Coffee is fantastic, my kids love the hot chocolate and the choice of pastries (vegan goodies too) is amazing.”

“The waiter was lovely treated us very nicely. The atmosphere was perfect low level chatter no one being to loud and this meant we could have our own conversation with no one listening. The food was so warming and really filled me up for the price.”

“Had a wonderful experience this morning. Ruby welcomed me with a smile and suggested an addition to my order which was phenomenal. Carlos brought my full order to my table and made sure I had everything I needed. Catherine bused the dishes from my table when I was finished and ensured I was satisfied with everything. I had a lovely conversation with all three of them after I was finished and left feeling very thankful this was the coffee shop I chose while I was in town for a day. Very personable pleasant experience”

“Harrison was a lovely server, very welcoming and accommodating. We had the evening set menu and it was a great value for money! I had the empanada to start then the rump and the trés leche for dessert and it was all delicious! really recommend the dessert! will definitely be coming back! thanks team x”

“Fuel never disappoints me in the 5 years I've been in and out, every time I'm back in Manchester I absolutely have to visit. some food items are absolutely delicious and other merely very good (the pakoras and chips are delightful) haha the staff is always lovely and the atmosphere never fails to feel inclusive and homey. great gigs too!!”

“This is an absolute treat! Instead of being in France due to industrial action, we sought to bring France to us and so glad we did. The food was high quality and in comfortable surroundings. Steak tartare as good as I have ever had (minus the egg yolk, because this in Britain!). A touch on the pricey side, but in this particular case, you do get what you pay for. Very good”

“Tried the Dahi Poori, Tandoori Lamb Loin Chops, Moradabadi Chicken Biryani and Mango Lassi. Everything tasted delicious. If l was to nitpick I’d have liked a little more lamb for a £15.95 starter. Service was attentive. Definitely try the Biryani one of the better variants.”

“We visited for the first time on Saturday 8th November 2025 and we were served by Simona. She couldn’t have been more attentive. The service provided was excellent and right up there with the food. I had the arancini and the carbonara with sides of tenderstem broccoli and rocket. My partner had the scarpetta and lasagne. We both really enjoyed the food, particularly the dishes I picked. Simona kindly made me aware that the carbonara was traditional and not cooked with cream, which is what I expected but I do know people who have eaten a version of “carbonara” with cream who would definitely appreciate this information for their knowledge and to be aware of what they were ordering. Despite our table being booked for 7pm on a Saturday and the restaurant being very busy, we did not wait long to be served or for our food to come out. It was all well presented and perfectly cooked. I’ve already recommended a number of people to visit since our meal and we will definitely return next time we’re in Manchester.”

“A lively rock bar selling great food and drinks. Great decor, neon signs and some good rock tunes playin too. We went for a rock n roll bingo night, you get tickets online ours were £12 each. Its unreserved seating so if your in a group get there early. Its a really great night, winning free shots and dancing yo the tunes.”

“Absolutely amazing. Took my daughter for her birthday and it did not disappoint. Free to enter but if you want food you have to book a table and they can get booked up really quickly. Wasn’t too busy when we went, staff were all fabulous, Customer service spot on and very clean. Parking is £5. Would definitely recommend.”

“Everything at Puss in Boots is always amazing. The food is consistently delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly, and both the team and management regularly check in to make sure you’re looked after. Every visit feels like a big family reunion — the atmosphere is always welcoming and full of good energy. Whether we pop in during a walk just for a drink, or bring family and friends who are visiting, it’s always our special go-to place. Everyone we take there ends up loving the experience and the food just as much as we do. The staff always take great care of us, and the manager often stops by our table with something new we have to try. I would highly recommend Puss in Boots to anyone in the Stockport area. The atmosphere truly makes you feel at home, and whoever you take there will leave with positive energy and appreciation for the warm interior and amazing service.”

“Tasty Turkish breakfast and nice atmosphere.”

“Lovely licenced cafe by the canal - stopped for a coffee/drink mid afternoon. Sat on the veranda overlooking the canal. Husband had cider, I had coffee and apple pie. Staff were friendly and helpful - very attentive too. Lovely place to sit out and watch the ducks go by. Blankets also provided, if required. This is very common in Europe, glad to see more places in UK are doing the same, especially since lockdown. The scones and cookies looked amazing, so we got some to take away.”

“Cute little café, nice staff, very friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. Loved the Irish Coffee they made me on request ❤️”

“The young lady that served us was brilliant so helpful lovely and so helpful. The food was fantastic highly recommended the halal breakfast and my friend loved the omelette. The Earl gray tea came in the most wonderful tea pot and was fantastic. My friend loves the coffees so much has two cups every time. If you have never been you have to try you will not be disappointed I guarantee it. We will be coming once a week from now on may be more. I have to say that the toilets hear are really clean and the double seats one for adults and a second for children shows a real family cafe.”

“Very lovely place with a friendly owner and delicious food!”

“A hidden gem. My son had his 5th birthday party there today and had a fantastic time. The staff (especially our party host and who l believe to be the manager) went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were so accommodating- nothing was too much trouble, nothing felt rushed and all the children looked like they were having a great time. Very reasonable prices too which is a bonus! will definitely be visiting there again soon.”

“Choice of 3 curries with rice. Perfect for lunchtime snack. Authentic food that tastes like home cooking.”

“Good honest food. Lovely staff, excellent prices”

“Excellent polite staff, atmosphere, and prices. I come here every Sunday with my family. The last time we were here, it was very busy, there was a line, and we waited a bit. But it was definitely worth the wait. It was the best omelet I've ever had. Thank you. See you on Sunday.”

“A great little café situated between Vernon and Woodbank parks. The staff are very friendly. Dogs and their owners are welcome. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free water for four-legged animals. Parking nearby.”

“Not been for seven years but had spaghetti Bolognese. It was lovely as usual. I used to have it regularly.”

“Always so pleased with the food and service here! Came for lunch on Saturday afternoon, waited a few minutes for a table but got a lovely spot in sun. Service great - drinks and food ordered and arrived in good time. Loads of options to choose from at very affordable prices! Worth a visit :)”

The staff are warm and helpful ,we had to a make dietary request and they accommodated it and it wasn't any bother. cafe is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, they have different types of chairs which was a life saver for my back! Absolutely loved the food , a little expensive I would say but definitely worth it , best BBQ chicken cheese toastie I've had and the salad that accompanied it was gorgeous. Just what was need on a hot day. I would definitely recommend this place !”
