"Home sweet home is an American style diner with variety of tantalising dessert options on the menu. Not only that but if you really do want to follow the parents advice of no desserts before your meal, this is the perfect place due to the impressive savoury options on the menu, including toasties, tacos, eggs, bacon, waffles, fried chicken and steak. The indulgent sweet treats includes ice-cream shakes, milkshake, deep dish cookie pie and not forgetting the arrays of colourful cakes to satisfy all your heart’s cravings."

"A post shared by Home Sweet Home (@homesweethomeuk) on Feb 23, 2020 at 4:15am PST. Another year-round pancake favourite, Home Sweet Home might be down to just one Manchester site now after closing their Great Northern Warehouse branch at the end of last year but their pancakes are still as banging as ever. Find them in the Northern Quarter to indulge in plates like these, topped with salted caramel, biscoff sauce, cream, strawberries and cinnamon crunch."

"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."

"The sister to Altrincham’s Market House, Mackie Mayor has been a raging success since launching in 2017, offering food from a range of kitchens and communal dining at the heart of the splendid former market hall in the Northern Quarter. The guide says: “Highlights include Honest Crust’s wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas; the amazing Italianate brunch dishes at La Cucina; and staggering roast chicken and porchetta sandwiches at Rotisserie."

"The Alpine menu will be offering savoury crepes for one day only, with two different fillings to choose from. You can either go for the black forest ham and cheese, or a sweet potato and spinach filling, both drenched in a rich cheese sauce. There is also a sweet option available - filled with chocolate praline and preserved blood orange slices."

"Albert Schloss is a bavarian-style bar located on Peter Street, between Deansgate and St Peter Square. It’s a very cool place to go for a drink or food in the evening. They often have live music and people are usually dancing everywhere!"

"Pot Kettle Black, Unit 14, Barton Arcade Deansgate, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 2BW - Visit now. Tucked away in Barton Arcade, a small but beautiful shopping centre between St Ann’s Square and Deansgate, is Pot Kettle Black. This cosy cafe serves up both excellent coffee and an inventive brunch menu (8am-3pm daily) – we particularly recommend the figs on toast, with whipped ricotta, fresh mint and infused honey."

"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."

Barton Arcade, Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW. You can find more information via the PKB website here."

"Java Bar Espresso is Manchester’s oldest independent coffee shop. ‘Java’ being the slang word for ‘coffee’ in the states, incorporating Italian coffee and a European past, this is one historical coffee shop you’ll want to visit. Located in Victoria Station, this place opens especially early just for you on your way into work, and closes late for those of you making your way home."

"The first Instagrammable place that we visited in Manchester was a trendy coffee and breakfast spot called Hampton and Vouis, which reminded me of a show home in a luxury property development. I really liked the pink colours and beautiful designs and if you’re looking for a perfect photo spot in Manchester that is not so busy in the morning, head there!. If you need to store your luggage in a safe place, while you’re exploring the city, I recommend using LuggageHero – they have a lot of storage locations and amazing rates."

"Taking great pride its award-winning speciality coffee, Hampton & Vouis is still open this weekend in the heart of the city centre to grab yourself a freshly-brewed cup to go. 31 Princess Street, Manchester, M2 4EW. You can find more information via the Hampton & Vouis website here."

"Once known as Eat New York in the Northern Quarter, Triple Bagels opened up in Prestwich just a matter of months ago – bringing salt beef, burgers and bagels to North Manchester. The American-inspired menu is the perfect lunch option, with Deliveroo available for those nearby. Triple Bagels, 24 Bury New Rd, Prestwich, M25 0LD."
