The 30 Best Cafe restaurant in Salford

“My new favorite breakfast spot! The staff here are absolutely amazing, so warm, welcoming, and kind. As someone who’s shy and Muslim, it means a lot to feel genuinely comfortable in a new place. They go out of their way to make sure I’m looked after, and they even adjust the food to fit my needs without me having to ask twice. It honestly feels like home. What touched me the most? They remembered my last order. That small gesture made me feel seen and appreciated. Highly recommend!”

“We came in for lunch and it was amazing as usual. It was my daughter’s first visit and she loved it. Mike and the team looked after us brilliantly. Highly recommended.”

“I had the wonderful opportunity to visit federal market over the weekend with my sister. There was a small line but we were welcomed with hot chocolate and a wonderful greeting which made it feel like a much shorter wait. As we sat, I was greeting kindly by our waiter as we roughly scanned through the menu with only one thing in mind, French Toast. As the french toast arrived, I was astonished and amazed at the presentation. A nice strawberry syrup almost circling the french toast. Taking my first bite, the soft and pillow-like toast mixed with the not so overly sweet whipped cream and strawberry jam that really worked with well together with the acidity of the fresh fruit cutting through the richness. Every bite was consistent with that same taste as the first bite which I believe is crucial in any dish. The place was vibrant and welcoming with a nice atmosphere. Music even playing at the perfect volume where you can speak to the people with you and still enjoy it. 100% my new favorite spot here in Manchester. Recommend everyone to try the french toast.”

“Stayed over in Manchester & found this little gem for breakfast/brunch. Ordered a large & small breakfast with tea & coffee included. Freshly cooked, although we were the only ones in, phone orders were coming in. Nice friendly lady cooking & serving. Worth a visit. Plenty of road side parking”

“Delicious coffee & treats and quiet canal-side seating. A social enterprise supporting good causes. Attached to The People's History Museum, which is by donation. Highly recommended.”

“First time here! We wanted to sit inside, but the tables were a bit narrow, so the staff kindly set us up outside with heating. Super comfy and perfect for a chat. Generous portions, friendly service, and a really relaxed, enjoyable brunch.”

“Amazing atmosphere and great Customer service, food is well presented and great value for money, the range of food is comprehensive. They also do too good to go bags and you get a great deal at less than £4!!! Can't wait to go again”

“A wonderful experience at Cafe Istanbul! The food and service were divine, and the atmosphere was perfect. It's an ideal spot for an evening with family and friends”

“Absolutely love this place. The food is second to none, the cocktails are amazing and the staff are extremely helpful polite and quick. I love the decor, it creates a lovely atmosphere. Very warm and welcoming place, with great live music almost daily. Plus the prices are fair, All round brilliant and definitely recommend.”

“Went for a small pot with the lamb curry and it really good, especially for the price as the small pot was the perfect portion! Lots of flavour in there and the lamb was really tender it just fell apart, would definitely go back”

“Gijan never disappoints. Best chicken burger in Salford.”

“Had our Christmas do here on Friday. Staff were SO lovely and efficient, food was phenomenal. The vegan mushroom pie was excellent, plenty of extra gravy provided. Really nice night thank you.”

“First time today, the food was amazing!!! Loved the option for a two/three course meal at around £23. The Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was seasoned!! And tasted so good and the portion size was perfect. The cookie desert was so tasty! Again the flavours were amazing. Defo coming back again.”

“Great cafeteria that serves both breakfast & lunch with a large selection of foods to suit any tastes. It's is subsidised for local employees of the surrounding businesses so prices are reasonable. Large screen showing the news channel so you can catch up on what's going on around the world while eating. Or you can view the River Orwell on one side & watch the cruise boats passing by.”

“Fantastic lunch here. The food was to die for and the freshly squeezed orange juice was gorgeous. The mozzarella focaccia was so flavourful and the strawberry and vanilla sundae was absolutely next level. Our server, Esin was so lovely and attentive and even surprised me with a piece of passion fruit cheesecake (which tasted incredible) as I’m halfway through my pregnancy and was out shopping with my mum. Will definitely be returning!”

“Really good coffee and fantastic pastries & treats. They also sell some cool artisanal stuff like jams and crisps. Atmosphere is always quiet and relaxed.”

“Just finished a delicious cheeseburger, hot, fresh and very tasty. Highly recommend”

“Went in with the Mrs for some scran. She had french toast I had the full breakfast. Both tasted amazing. Presentation of the food was nice. The hot drinks were amazingly good. Credit to the coffee machine they use- definitely high quality. The shop is all tones of grey and blush and looks top. They have this smart looking glass salon section where my mrs went for lazer hair removal before food. Fun concept for the ladies or men who like aesthetics. Definitely go again.”

“Fabulous choice of food. Staff were patient and polite. Everywhere really clean no cluttered uncleared tables.”

“Waiting for my lorry to be serviced popped in for breakfast,was a good breakfast good price would stop by again!”

“Been living at Globe House for almost a year now and feel very at home. The apartment is finished to a high standard and building facilities are fantastic - who doesn’t want to unwind in a spa! The management team are brilliant, nothing is ever too much trouble and any problems are solved straight away. Additionally, they are all so friendly and it’s lovely to pop by for a chat. Location is great, really easy to pop into the city and a very short walk to the train station. I would highly recommend living here!”

“Lovely, clean building with 24 hour concierge.”

“Came here for our anniversary meal and it honestly was the best meal we have had! The staff were incredible throughout the night, and whilst we didn’t get their names, the young, blonde lady and the middle aged, olive skinned gentleman who served us a glass of bubbly each were amazing. The food is to die for and trust me you will not be going hungry when you leave. Thank you for making our night an unforgettable experience!”
