There’s no denying it – we’re now living in the age of pink. It’s the shade of the millennial season, and everyone wants to snap it up (on their cameras, that is). After becoming a social media sensation, the number of rosy restaurants across this city has skyrocketed, but which one do you visit first? From Instagrammable cocktail spots to strawberry-coloured cafés, here are the very best pink cafes, restaurants and bars in Manchester for you to tour.
Best Pink Places In Manchester
Sunset By Australasia
- Address: 1 The Avenue, M3 3AP
For one of the best pink restaurants in Manchester city centre, check out Sunset by Australasia. Boasting Art Deco furnishings, fluorescent signs and pastel hues as far as the eye can see, this is a truly TikTok-worthy visit.
While you're admiring the scenery, dig into a pan-Asian fusion menu of sushi, fresh fish and grilled meats. They also offer afternoon from just £29.50 per person, featuring savoury bites served in their signature bento box, followed by sweet treats, or nab the weekend cocktail lunch if you're after something a little more boozy.
Sunset is truly a pastel-coloured paradise.
Cocoa Cabana
- Address: 7 Murray Street, M4 6HS
Ancoats' Cocoa Cabana is a real paradise. Not your average choice of Instagrammable pink bars in Manchester, this cute venue is also an award-winning chocolatier and café. While you’re taking in the rose-coloured walls and making yourself at home on the luxurious seating, tuck into tasty truffles or artisan cakes.
It's not just sweet treats on the menu here though. Their all-day menu features the likes of slow-cooked pulled beef sandwiches, shakshuka and grilled croissants with poached eggs. You can also devour a dainty afternoon tea for only £25 per person, and the Lotus Biscoff hot chocolate is to die for.
Even the cocktails are pink here.
Archie’s
- Address: 6 & 7, Gateway House, Piccadilly, M1 2GH
The vibrant décor of this Piccadilly flagship will have you snapping selfies all over the gaff, with peony-coloured walls, neon signage, inflatable flamingos and even an adult-sized ball pit. Not only is Archie’s in Manchester the OG pink restaurant around these parts, but it's also a go-to destination for all of your fast-food dreams.
Expect extravagant takes on American grub, from a crunchy Cheetos chicken burger to mac 'n' cheese bites or beef patties topped with maple syrup. The drinks are just as over-the-top - we recommend the Million Dollar shake, complete with Ferrero Rocher, strawberries and chocolate hazelnut sauce.
Every day of the week is pink at Archie's Manchester.
Menagerie
- Address: One New Bailey, M3 5EN
Undeniably on the list of most pink girly restaurants in Manchester, Menagerie is a stunning spot to indulge in Instagram-worthy food and drink. Think neon messages, hanging doves and walls coming to life with shrubbery, as well as quirky purple cocktails garnished with macaroons.
Wondering what's on the menu? Mains include rigatoni alla vodka, truffle ravioli or crispy onion-topped burgers, while brunch plates feature an indulgent French toast with marshmallow fluff. That's not all though, as they also offer both bottomless brunch and afternoon tea, as well as a stellar Sunday roast.
Menagerie is perfect for a dreamy pink bottomless brunch in Manchester.
Tattu
- Address: 3 Hardman Square, Gartside Street, M3 3EB
Even if you haven’t been to Tattu yourself, you've probably seen it on the 'Gram. Combining Chinese décor with our new favourite colour, this Spinningfields icon is a unique dining experience. Expect stunning pink blossom trees right in the centre of the restaurant, alongside dark walls and glowing lights.
Some of our favourite dishes include balsamic teriyaki salmon, plum-glazed duck breast and spicy egg noodles. On top of this menu of sharing plates and exotic bites, they have an extensive list of tipples with a signature twist – the oolong old fashioned is a must-try.
Make sure to get a snap next to their famous glowing tree.
Pink Island Cafe Manchester
- Address: Unit A, Orion Business Park, Bird Hall Ln, Stockport SK3 0RT
Considered by many to be the best pink cafe in Manchester, Pink Island Cafe even has our favourite colour in the name. This unique venue is found inside a spacious industrial unit in a Stockport business park, as part of the P.Louise Makeup Academy. They offer makeup courses to anyone looking to improve their skills, but whether or not you're taking part it's well worth visiting.
Make sure to book ahead, and you'll be buzzed into a pink paradise that feels like it's straight out of Barbie. There's both a main bar area and cosy booths to the side, as well as a princess castle-shaped shop selling makeup products. Tuck into Instagrammable brunch dishes and delectable desserts while you're here, paired with a dreamy milkshake.
Enjoy incredible sweet treats on the Pink Island Cafe menu.
La Vie
- Address: 48 Deansgate, M3 2FE
Flaunting a wall full of pink roses, i doesn't get much more Instagrammable than La Vie. This Deansgate destination fronts pink velvet seating, glowing golden signs and even rose-tinted food and drink, with a pretty outdoor dining area to boot.
They serve impressive all-day breakfast dishes like a full English, pistachio French toast and turkey bacon pancakes. And whether you're in the mood for cocktails or coffee, they've got plenty of both - our favourite is the red velvet latte.
This viral cafe is well worth the hype.
Copper and Blossom
- Address: 46 Oldham Road, Great Ancoats Street, Ancoats, M4 5EE
Make a night of it at Copper and Blossom, a picturesque hotel and lively bar with blushing walls and stunning magenta lighting. The quirky Ancoats venue boasts cascading flowers, velvet seating and other dreamy décor, as well as private cinema rooms and cocktails.

Ideal for a girly sleepover.
Loaf
- Address: 83 Oxford Street, M1 6EG
Situated on Oxford Road, with a second location in Salford, Loaf is a cute cafe where absolutely everything is pink. Expect quirky neon signs and cool hanging lampshades, with multiple seating areas where you can enjoy their tasty treats, though they're available for takeaway too.
They specialise in mini cake loaves and personalised cakes that you can add your own message to. Our favourite is the hazelnut Bueno option, but be sure to take a look at what they've got on the day as it changes often.

You may recognise this floral restaurant from social media and rightly so, as EL&N has dominated Instagram thanks to its vibrant floral decor and pops of fierce fushia. Nestled in Trafford Palazzo, it's one of the best pink places in Manchester.
Sip on a pistachio-flavoured Spanish latte under a pastel arch and abide by the writing on the wall: Adventure awaits, but first... coffee. Not a fan of the beans? There's an all-day brunch on the menu, plus delightful cakes, pastas and wraps.
You don't have to pink twice about visiting EL&N.
