Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Brockholes

"Another special spot in Spinningfields suitable for both celebrations or just a boujee Tuesday – The Ivy’s roof terrace is stunningly decorated, with plus velvet furniture, fire pits for warmth and grand trees throughout setting a botanical theme for its brasserie offering. Most of the space is for diners, however, there’s a lovely bar within the terrace, too, where you can perch up for a drink or two. The Ivy, The Pavilion, Byrom St, M3 3HG."

"One of Manchester's most glamorous destinations ever since it opened in 2018 has been The Ivy in Spinningfields. The swish restaurant and bar will be reopening its ground floor outdoor terrace from April 12. The space is both covered and heated, so it's perfect for Manchester's less-than-favourable weather."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"Home Sweet Home is an inevitable address for brunch-lovers in the Northern Quarter. If you are looking for some good comfort food, you are sure to find it here. We recommend the Eggs Cali."

"A pioneer of the Kiwi cafe culture dominating Britain's Brunch scene, Tamper champions the finest coffee and food, the former of which is sourced from far-flung countries like Colombia, India, Peru and more.

"Run by two New Zealanders with a passion for a proper brew, Tamper makes for a great place to while away an afternoon. Their coffee is award-winning and the grub’s top notch. The Big Kiwi Breakfast is sure to stifle any hangover, while Friday nights offer an opportunity to prepare for said hangover with a late, boozy opening."

"Tucked away in a small courtyard, Steam Yard feels like an off-the-beaten-path gem, though it's a regular haunt with local coffee connoisseurs and foodies. Whether you want a coffee and donut on the fly or fancy hunkering down over a lovely Brunch for a couple of hours, Steam Yard offers it all. The pretty courtyard area is often filled with punters and their canine pals and is the perfect spot for people-watching."

"The Steamyard was the brain child of two close friends who shared a love (addiction) of coffee and the social aspects surrounding it. Steamyard is not just a business but a passion, a lifestyle and a place that the boys are extremely proud to own. Address: Unit 1-2 Aberdeen Court, 97 Division St, S1 4GEOffer: 10% Off Retail Area"

"Veggie & Vegan Friendly – If you’re vegan, a lover of coffee and crave a peanut butter brownie then look no further than the Steam Yard. Eating cake just somehow got better!. Plus the brownies have nuts in, so surely that’s one of your five a day, right??"

"Alongside their Beyond Meat burger, an aromatic Thai green curry and a 100% plant-based BLT, The Cosy Club have an extra-special vegan fish and chips option. Made from a battered fillet of seaweed-wrapped tofu, the dish was awarded with ‘best vegan fish’ at the 2019 PETA awards."
