Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Bromley Cross

"What: Something of an all-rounder, this glamorous Manchester outpost of The Ivy offers menus that take diners through from breakfast till dinner, with brunch and afternoon tea inbetween. The restaurant also comes with two outdoor dining areas, including a rooftop garden that’s available for private hire and a ground floor terrace. While working on your tan, you can tuck Ivy signatures such as the shepherd’s pie and chicken milanese."

"From the decadent jade floor to the mouthwatering menu, The Ivy's Asian restaurant is bringing you a real taste from the East. Expect dishes from 'raw & cured' to 'dumplings & bao' paired with a huge selection of wines and a carefully curated cocktail menu."

"Home Sweet Home has grown from humble beginnings to many locals’ favourite eatery that now boasts two locations in the city. Whether you opt to eat in the original Northern Quarter branch or the newer venue in Great Northern, expect a huge focus on dessert alongside the equally impressive savoury menu. The ice-cream shakes hark back to the 1950s in the best possible way, American style pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat and their deep dish cookie pie is to die for – and that’s not even mentioning the incredible array of colourful sugar-covered pimped out cakes that sit tantalisingly in their dessert bar."

"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."

"About: Born from a love of good simple food and drink, Home Sweet Home is an American style cafe and Kitchen situated in the city's Northern Quarter. Stop by for your favourite home comfort foods and over the top indulgent delights. All sweet and savoury treats are freshly prepared, baked, and brewed in house daily."

"From the makers of Altrincham’s Market House food hall, this city-centre spin-off corrals a similarly stellar lineup of traders (burger and steak stars Tender Cow, Honest Crust, Pico’s Tacos, New Wave Ramen, Mumma’s Fried Chicken) into Mackie Mayor, in the Grade II-listed former Smithfield market. Look out for irregular special events, such as dinners on 1 and 8 July with hotly tipped Manc pop-up Higher Ground, creators of the already-legendary oxtail madras pasty. No bookings, outdoor seating available, app-ordering, currently card-only."

"Two floors of grade II-listed Victorian finery – including a stunning glass ceiling – make up Mackie Mayor, a vibrant food and drink market. There are six food traders in total, serving things like wood-fired pizza and homemade tacos, while top-quality java comes from Wolfhouse Coffee. Dive into a range of espresso-based bevs and fancy pourovers."

"Albert’s Schloss is a Bavarian-inspired fun palace of extraordinary dimensions and clever design. Behind the glistening tiles of the former Manchester and Salford Wesleyan Mission building (est in 1910) you’ll discover a vast bar, real fires, perfectly preserved original plaster, and a wall stuffed generously with flowers by floral artists’ Frog. You’ll also find a stage, DJ booth and network of beer pipes and tanks serving unpasturised Pilsner Urquell to hordes of adoring punters."

"A Manchester staple, Albert's Schloss known for traditional German food and pilsner beers. While many people flock to this restaurant for dinner and live music, you can't pass up the chance to try their breakfast. Their Bavarian-inspired dishes made fresh in their cook haus may be the centrepiece of the meal."

"This Bavarian bier palace offers a hearty brunch menu as well as all-day favourites such as steak, schnitzel, currywurst or bratwurst, with fresh unpasteurised Pilsner Urquell served straight from the tank. Breads, pretzels, cruffins and kronuts are baked daily in the in-house bakery."

"A boutique-styled café tucked in the Barton arcade has earned the position of one of the best Manchester City Centre coffee shops. It is situated in a beautiful Victorian building in the famous Barton Arcade, and something you may not know, the popular Manchester coffee shop is owned by Rugby League’s Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan. You can get all types of coffee here from standard espresso, Piccolo, Flat While, Latte and Cappuccino."

"Pot Kettle Black has created a special menu especially for Pancake Day. Simply pop by their hatch on Tuesday to grab breakfast, brunch or lunch pancakes from 10am to 3pm. There’ll be pancakes topped with streaky bacon, fried egg and maple syrup; raspberry coulis and white chocolate mascarpone; and honeycomb, milk chocolate and butterscotch sauce."

"Pot Kettle Black serves an impressive menu of breakfast fit for any breakfast lover from 8 am – 4 pm. Awarded the best tea and coffee shop in Manchester, it’s also a great place to go if you just want a coffee. You can get breakfast here from just £6!"

"The Creameries’ chef-patron Mary-Ellen McTague has been a well-loved force in the Manchester food scene for a number of years now. The Creameries is situated down in Chorlton and is open from lunch to dinner serving up freshly baked breads, homemade charcuterie, local cheeses and fine wines. Oh, and that’s just the start of it."

"Why: Housing a café and bar as well as an event and exhibition space, this trendy Manchester breakfast spot serves up tasty plates of crowd-pleasing combinations. The works of art on the walls are reflected on the plate with pretty presentation coming as standard. Tuck into toasted banana bread with butter and house-made chocolate spread or take things up a level with green eggs that see two crispy fried eggs served with griddled avocado, spinach and sourdough toast."

"You're sure to get a good Manchester breakfast at All the Shapes. This spot has been making a name for itself in the brunch scene for a few years now. It's not hard to see why with their extensive menu of delicious foods."

"What: If you don’t have a holiday to Barcelona in the works, you can at least recreate part of the experience at Tast, which now has a streetside terrace where you can soak up the sunshine. Alongside all of the usual tapas fare here, such as ham croquetas and patatas bravas, you will also find ‘tastets’ (sharing plates which are bigger than tapas but smaller than main dishes) - tuck into the likes of duck egg with baby squid and tartare sauce. Where: 20-22 King Street, M2 6AG"

"Paco Perez has arrived in Manchester with Michelin stars to spare, giving Tast the potential to be the best dining experience in the city. Try a selection of ‘tastets’ – a word of Catalan origin meaning ‘a small taste of food’, larger than a starter and smaller than a main – such as roasted chicken croquettes, or octopus with romesco, potato and oloroso wine."
