Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Appleton Thorn

"If you want to breakfast like a king – or The King, for that matter – head to this US-inspired cafe, which does a fine line in stacks of pancakes and waffles topped with bacon and maple syrup. Elsewhere, its extensive all-day breakfast menu runs the Stateside gamut from garlic- and cheese-laced grits, via a minute steak with homemade hash and eggs to the "Coney Island", a pulled pork-topped breakfast hotdog. Portions are large and ingredients first-rate."

"An authentic American/Canadian diner which serves brunch all day!. Moose Coffee is one which I had read a lot about before visiting Liverpool for the second time and knew it was a must when heading back. There are three Moose Coffee’s in Liverpool (as well as one in Leeds and two in Manchester), so if one is full you aren’t too far from another!"

"You know you are in the right place the moment you walk into the Moose. One can’t help but notice right away the paintings of famous historical figures with a moose’s head in place of the figure’s head. The chandeliers made out of antlers also reflects the name of the coffee shop its character."

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"🍰 There’s a range of luxury desserts to choose from at the Brasserie, including tiramisu, creme brulee and rum baba, but the star of the show is undeniably the chocolate bombe – a melting chocolate dessert with ice cream, a honeycomb centre, and hot salted caramel sauce. I’m drooling just at the thought."

"The Ivy's roof garden is one of the most glamorous places in the city, perfect for celeb-watching. Opulent fabrics, masses of plants and a retractable roof (plus essential heaters) make it an luxurious hangout in all weathers. You can order from a huge menu of food, including afternoon teas and brunches."

"Home Sweet Home is doing half-price pancakes today, to celebrate what is 'basically their Christmas'. Their stacked pancakes - three piled on top of each other - are served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream as standard. You can then add banana, Nutella and salted caramel; or fresh berries, compote and frosting."

"Home Sweet Home is a go-to for cheap breakfast in Manchester, offering an all-American take on the classic meal. Chomp away on juicy fried chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict and stacks of pancakes all washed down with fresh coffee, shakes and brunch cocktails."

"This place really does feel like home, or rather an American Grandma’s home. It’s Grandma in the USA, in Manchester. Floral wallpaper, little framed pictures dotted on the wall, the smell of fresh baking; you feel welcome as soon as you step through the door."

"Some of you gave the thumbs up to the 'personal service and excellent coffee' at Forty Six on Lower Bridge Street."

"A stylish spot from the Drake & Morgan chain, The Anthologist is a great place for all day dining. Brunch and lunch are best for families, where you can feast on dishes like buttermilk chicken and waffles, salt & pepper squid or a mushroom shawarma. The children’s menu features yummy dishes like gnocchi ‘mac & cheese’, plus a free babyccino or hot chocolate."

"One St Peter's Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M2 3DE. Colourful and with a buzzy atmosphere, The Anthologist is an all-day casual dining joint which can cater to every dining whim. Weekend brunches are particularly popular here, while the pre-theatre menu is a real steal."

"The Refinery is a buzzing outdoor restaurant in Spinningfields all year round. The stunning terrace space is perfect for sipping on fruity cocktails, nibbling on tasty charcuterie and watching the world go by, while winter welcomes pop-up igloos that are made for cosy catch-ups."

"Cicchetti, Fumo and San Carlo itself are all wonderful choices for a special romantic evening. Cicchetti has a lovely marble bar that you can sit at whilst you nibble on small plates, whilst Fumo’s beautiful art deco interior is the perfect setting for a special date. And for lovers of traditional Italian food, you can’t go wrong at San Carlo."

"San Carlo is Manchester’s most famous and, some say, best Italian restaurant. Run by the Distefano family, it’s said to have one of the largest turnovers in the UK. It’s also the place to be papped and there’s usually a bank of photographers outside to prove the point."

"Located in the Deansgate area of Manchester inside a beautiful Victorian courthouse building, Hawksmoor Steak and Seafood restaurant is not to be overlooked if steak is your food of choice. A wide range of steak cuts are on offer here, and you'll want to bring your appetite - steaks don’t generally come any smaller than 500g. Although Hawksmoor can be a fine dining experience, it doesn’t have to break the bank, and offers a steak lunch special for under £16."

"The first branch of this modern British steakhouse to open outside the capital, Hawksmoor offers simply superb steaks from dry-aged British rump and rib-eye to porterhouse and chateaubriand alongside classy cocktails and a winning wine list. Leave room for the heavenly sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream."

"Opening on Deansgate in 2015, the first Hawksmoor steakhouse outside of London is a confident affair. Well sourced steak and attention to detail have created a place like no other."
