Federal Cafe & Bar

Widely considered the best brunch in Northern Quarter Manchester, Federal Cafe & Bar is bringing a little Australian attitude to your feasting. Proving it knows a thing or two about early mornings, this place will keep you coming back for banana bread, omelettes, Turkish eggs and bagels.

Sugar Junction Northern Quarter

In a charming nook of the Northern Quarter, Sugar Junction is a retro hangout with repurposed furnishings and laid-back vibes channelling the spirit of the 1950s. With vintage pianos, old-school radios, classic movies, and creative drinks, it's the perfect place for retro enthusiasts to dive into delightful brunch goodies featuring treats like vanilla french toast, wild-berry chia bowl, and poached eggs on toast.

Terrace NQ

Cool and casual, Terrace NQ are all about the big breakfast plates, serving a full English across the whole day. If bacon, sausages and black pudding isn't your cup of tea, the spot has lighter dishes including eggs benedict. Or, for those with a sweet tooth, there's a wide range of homemade cakes.
