Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Higher Chisworth

"Located in the heart of Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields only opened in November 2018, but is already a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a little glamour. The Brasserie serves modern British classics while the The Ivy Asia and Bar serves Asian-inspired cocktails and sharing dishes with entertainment and resident DJs. There are also three private dining rooms - The Dalton, The Geisha Room and The Skylight Terrace."

"A very special spot standing proud in the centre of Spinningfields, The Ivy consists of three charming floors – one of which is completely decked out in the most spectacular, Far Eastern-inspired decor. And the nods don’t end there. The menu is completely inspired by Asia, too, taking inspiration from all corners of the continent when curating their menu."

"One of the largest restaurants to open in the UK in 2018 with 535 covers, The Ivy Spinningfields is set over four floors with a ground floor brasserie, ..." Read our full review"

"Apart from their regular diner menu (which is filled with all things deliciously fried, greasy diner style), the desserts and milkshakes are the winners that’ll make you feel right at home!. And just when you think it’s just another American diner, they’ll hit you with three-tier cakes that have icing and chocolate cookies piled on top, they hit you with sugar-dusted mountain high stacks of bacon and waffles drenched in maple syrup!. But the thing that sets HSH apart from other dessert places?"

"This Northern Quarter restaurant’s pancakes have long held a place in our hearts, with delicious combos such as banana, nutella and salted caramel and blueberry compote with frosting on the menu. The homely diner has an array of incredible desserts if pancakes aren’t your style – with an incredible homemade cake counter that’s not for the faint-hearted. Pancake stacks include three, fluffy American-style pancakes, served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream."

"Designed to make you feel right at home, Home Sweet Home is open until 11pm, making it a nice late-night option for coffee lovers. Their trademark dish is the Cheeseburger Toastie, a combination of two of the nation’s favourite dishes. Edge Street, Northern Quarter, Manchester M4 1HE@HomeSweetHomeNQ / homesweethomenq.com"

"Exploring the pot-holed streets of Sheffield on bike, bus or foot really makes you appreciate the character and great community that we are privileged to be a part of; Tamper Coffee is an example of one such community. It’s a hive of activity and creative energy that will leave you feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead, whatever it may hold!. So why not pop down to Arundel Street or Westfield Terrace and become part their community."

"Tamper is the city’s ultimate in New Zealand culture; offering a creative space to come together. We’d recommend Tamper Sellers Wheel as a place for an afternoon or Friday evening renedez-vous. There’s always a great atmosphere in Tamper with the bustle of business meetings, friends catching up and more successful dates can drown out the sound of any awkward silences."

"Having just come second for ‘Best Cheap Eats’ in the North, in The Guardian Observer Food Monthly Awards, tucked away just off the indie metropolis that is Division Street, Steam Yard is rapidly becoming one of the most popular places in the city for great coffee and donuts. Inhabiting what used to be an old silverworks building, it is positioned at the back of a pretty courtyard between a tattoo parlour and costume shop. There is an intimate café atmosphere both inside and outside, where you can really take in the aesthetic of the traditional building."

"Aside from making some seriously delicious coffee in their comfy surroundings with a weekly guest blend from the UK's best roasters, Steam Yard also offer some excellent food too. Their lunch menu features salt beef bagels, pastrami sandwiches and a gooey three cheese toastie with chutney but their donuts (provided by Depot Bakery) and fronuts (ice-cream filled donuts) are some of the best in the city."

"Steam Yard has spectacular coffee, a glorious courtyard and lots of colourful, gluten-free baked goods. It’s a casual spot that makes up for its lack of a sit-down menu with stacks upon stacks of doughnuts and cakes. In summer it brings in ice cream from Peak District Dairy and puts scoops of it inside doughnuts."

"Why: There isn’t just one breakfast option at Mackie Mayor, which makes it great for groups who want to eat together but may want different things to eat (just like your mother said, it’s our individuality that makes the world so beautiful). The space itself is a grand grade II listed market building, with incredible original detailing and a buzzy atmosphere, and houses multiple food traders with communal seating laid out in the centre of the space. When it comes to the food offering you could find yourself enjoying anything from fruit and granola to shakshuka or avocado on toast with eggs."

"Restoring the former Smithfield Market and creating a busy, atmospheric dining destination for Mancs to enjoy, Mackie Mayor has long been a favourite for locals – with bars, coffee shops and restaurants to enjoy inside. Situated in the Northern Quarter, guests can enjoy tacos, pizzas, wines, fried chicken, succulent beef and so much more, with tons of vendors to try during your visit. Mackie Mayor, 1 Eagle St, M4 5BU."

"Then you need to head to Mackie Mayor to sample a variety of options. This brick-walled food hall features vendors that boast tonnes of food offerings. With long, communal dining tables, you can bring your entire group of friends to enjoy an entire morning of delicious food."

"By Kelham Island, across the water from the Kelham Island Museum, lies The Grind Café. Independently owned, the café serves homemade food and barista-style coffee. The breakfast menu is considerable, with a huge selection of omelettes and scrambled eggs, numerous kinds of pancakes, traditional breakfast classics, vegetarian options, waffles, granola, fresh fruit, oatmeal and bagels."

"As an Eat Sheffield winner, it’s no surprise how popular The Grind is – serving a delicious range of food and drink; this is the perfect place to come for a chilled lunch. Don’t forget to try their sausage rolls – they are utterly enormous as well as super tasty, but tend to sell out pretty shaprish beacuse of that."

"We’d be remiss in listing the best places to enjoy coffee in Sheffield without a mention to the wonderful Grind Cafe in Kelham Island. Address: 3 Green Ln, S6 3AF"

"Brunch is the main occasion at this stylish cafe, but with eye-catching plates like the warm griddled peach salad with proscuitto ham (£.7.10) and the green eggs with avocado, green salsa on sourdough (£6.10), it deserves a place in this list. Tucked away on Warwick Street, the little joint also has a hidden terrace in the back - perfect for soaking up the rays on sunny days. 8 Warwick St, Prestwich, Manchester M25 3HN / alltheshapes.co.uk"

"All The Shapes is on Warwick Street in Prestwich and is relatively new on the scene, having opened last November."

"A post shared by alex (@alexcutts) on Feb 29, 2016 at 4:34am PST. This small Brooklyn-inspired diner is the place to head if you’re craving a taste of classic American cuisine. Their crispy fried chicken sandwiches are the star of the menu, and can be customised with an array of delicious toppings, while the waffles, pancakes and shakes are perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth."

"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."

"One of the wildest restaurants in Manchester, Albert's Schloss doesn't slow down for anyone or anything. Not only can you hunker down for big meat and even bigger Bavarian beer, but also table dancing, entertainment, in-house bands and jaw-dropping antics almost every night."

"At the top, look inside St Michael’s Church, which commands the Market Place and can be seen across the town. Although the church was almost completely rebuilt at the start of the 20th century it is highly regarded for its two historic chapels. Here you’ll encounter what is considered to be Cheshire’s richest collection of alabaster effigies, produced in the 16th and 17th centuries for the Legh and Savage families."

"Interesting features include some memorable stained glass windows - one depicting the Parable of the Widow’s Mite and one window commemorating the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. A 17th century organ case - the present one was rebuilt in 1885; carved choir stalls - one with a carved pelican representing the sacrifice of Christ on the cross, and a finely painted column in the centre of the South Chapel in memory of those from the parish who lost their lives in the First World War. Reverend Patrick Duckworth will be pleased to talk to school parties – with the enclosed garden area providing a perfect spot for children to eat their packed lunch."

"Ecclesall Woods covers a massive 350 acres and is now a Local Nature Reserve after years of providing timber and charcoal for local industry. Spend a few hours hiking through the woods and taking in the local wildlife and flowers. There are a number of landmarks within the woods, including two historic mills, with one dating back to the 1600s."

"South-west of Sheffield houses 320 acres of ancient expanse of woodlands called Ecclesall Woods, one of the largest semi-natural woodlands in South Yorkshire. Care for a little adventure walk in the midst of natural beauty?. Want to fill your lungs with the gentle, calming breeze of the forest?"

"Prestwich Forest Park consists of four smaller parks which make up 200 acres of woodlands: Philips Park, Drinkwater Park, Waterdale, and Prestwich. These parks can be heavily wooded (particularly Drinkwater), so it’s a beautiful place to spend a day away from the noise of town. Exploring the woods can be an enlightening experience, so long as you take care while wandering amongst the broad-leaved trees."
