Quick lunch spots in Manchester

“The best matcha I’ve had so far in Manchester (I chose the pistachio one). The waiters were incredibly sweet and friendly, and the outdoor seating was lovely, though the indoor space is quite small”

“A nice cafe at AMBS building. The coffee is tasty and inexpensive. The foods are delicious and their soups of the week are just unbeatable. I recommend chilled brew and soups.”

“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.”

“Probably the best coffee place in Manchester, I go out of my way to get a mocha here. Really good and flavourful coffee that is well priced for central Manchester, nice vibes and place to chill though it is quite small so seating is limited especially if you want a table. Baristas are nice and knowledgeable about all the difference beans as well”

“Visited today, with my friend and my toddler. They didn’t have many options for kids but that’s fine as my son was more interested in a sausage roll from the bakery. The food me and my friend had though was absolutely delicious, really well made. The coffee was really good quality too, a really well made cup of coffee not burnt or too hot.”

“Well what can I say Amazing coffee loving staff right next to Oxford rd train station pop out have coffee would call back here again go head try it and let us know”

“Great little local cafe. food very nice! service slow, but worth the wait.we will be back again.”

“I know this place as the pepper mill and am a regular user. I always go for a salad box cause of my diet and I am never disappointed because they always have a good selection of meats,fish and cheese plus other vegetarian options. The menu as a whole is excellent and the specials are great value”

“First time eating english breakfast. It was lovely. Eggs with cheese, sausage and mushrooms go so nice with beans and toast.”

“I had a beautiful morning exploring the gardens at Tatton Park. It’s free for RHS members. But be warned that you need to pay £10 to park the car regardless of whether you visit any of the attractions. There’s toilets in the courtyard alongside a garden shop, cafe, gift shop, and bookshop. The gardens were looking great as we venture into autumn. There’s some beautiful dahlias still flowering and creating a wonderful display. Plenty of ripening apples and pears! Must be a fantastic season this year!! Lots of areas to wander in peace. The grounds are serene and as I was there at 10, there was hardly a soul! So plenty of beautiful photo opportunities!!”

“Excellent restaurant and menu lovely food and great service we stayed here for our wedding and had breakfast after our wedding six years ago and the food and service is still as good as it was then just Ellet”

“Incredible food, coolest coffee art and lovely team ☕️ Popped in today to try their brunch, we had the eggs benedict and pistachio cream french toast. Both dishes were incredible and this has to be hands down the best breakfast & brunch spot I’ve been to in a long time ☺️ Definitely worth getting a coffee as well just to appreciate the funky coffee art, it’s absolutely brilliant”

“Visited here on Saturday after seeing this on my instagram - We was not disappointed. Shawarma, hummus, rotisserie chicken & Fatayer - all delicious. Served within minutes of ordering, all hot, excellent friendly staff! A must visit!”

“Fabulous setting for a wine club dinner I love the statues the books the building and ceiling all lovely”

“Beautiful restaurant, all decorated fir valentines. We had 3 course set meal which was delicious. We ended up taking some of the sharing platter home as we just didn't have room. Staff were very welcoming and attentive so defo 10/10. X”

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

“Quaint and lovely! Great food, don't skip the dessert.”

“We love it at The Hale Pizza Express. We come on a weekly basis knowing we will be warmly greeted by Massimo. The food is always perfect and tweaked to our liking. It’s a nice touch knowing our order and having personal conversation. Couldn’t recommend Massimo and his team of friendly waiters and top notch pizza chefs enough. 6 stars”

“Great food, portion sizes and price. Paper bags are appreciated, and fruit juice - so many places fizzy drinks are the only option but not here. Doner kebab is full of meat (never has bones in it) and the salad is always fresh. Fries are always seasoned nicely. Chicken wrap is also full of meat. This is the go to chicken shop on langworthy”

“Very good food excellent quality and great service. Value for money. Very friendly and good manners.”

“I attended a little bambino pizza making event in the summer holidays with my son and was impressed with the friendliness and hospitality of all the staff. My son had a great time kneading the dough and preparing his own pizza. He was very proud of the finished pizza. It was a wonderful afternoon and amazing value for money. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere and great views. Thanks again”

“My wife and I came for lunch, having previously visited for drinks a few weeks ago. We are trying all the local eateries as we will shortly be moving here. The staff were very welcoming and attentive and it all seemed very well organised. The food was excellent and we both really enjoyed the Sunday Dinner menu which was available on bank holiday Monday. Decor is really nice and the pub has a welcoming feel. Nice to see dogs are welcomed in the bar and garden areas. Will most definately be returning”

“Excellent gluten free range! Wished we had something like this in the midlands. 5/5 food taste. Recommend the Singapore vermicelli noodles. Large portion sizes too so that’s breakfast sorted”

“I have eaten here several times the food is always great. Quick and friendly service and right on our doorstep. We will continue to come here.”

“Went for lunch the food was amazing. I will definitely be going again. Excellent value. Good service, staff friendly and helpful. There is an outdoor terrace to the front.”

“Had a Dynasty take away tonight - ordered over the phone and ready in just ten minutes! The honey BBQ ribs were amazing and the special chow mein is huge and very delicious! Best Chinese meal we’ve had for ages and would definitely recommend.”

“Not been here for years ordered 2 kebabs and omg they are so tasty will 100% be going here again”

“awsome food and good prices .mint staff highly recommended....”

“The food is yummy. You might think the price is abit high but it’s a big portion. The photo is only half of a portion of rice. A part of the char siu portion is quite dry but generally a good dish. People who work there is nice.”

“Cracking place in an up and coming area of Stockport. Great vibe inside with plenty of seating. Good selection of food on the menu with gluten free option. Cocktails and wine choices. Service was quick, friendly, Wendy was just lovely and made us feel looked after, thank you! Lovely style of decor with art and lighting. Food was great and tasty, well presented. We had the tapas and cocktails. The squid was delicious! Very reasonably priced. Definitely going to return and good start to the evening before walking into the centre for drinks in other bars.”
