When in Manchester
I recently took a whirlwind two-day trip to Manchester, and although my time was short, I packed in as many foodie experiences as I could. There were plenty of places I visited to treat myself, and a few I wish I’d had time to try!
Here’s where I indulged:
Pollen Bakery – Pro tip: some days they’re closed (Mondays and Tuesdays), so plan ahead.
Siop Shop – A cozy spot for some delicious baked goods.
Pho Cue – Perfect for Vietnamese cravings.
Federal Café Bar – A great spot for brunch or a caffeine fix.
Mackie Mayor Food Court – A lively food hall with a variety of stalls to choose from.
Companio Bakery – Amazing pastries with that fresh-baked aroma.
As I wandered the streets, I discovered some hidden gems, with long queues of people eagerly waiting to grab some irresistible bites. On my next visit, I’m definitely planning to hit these spots:
Rustica Sandwich Bar
Jenny’s Buffet
...and plenty more that I didn’t have a chance to jot down.
Manchester’s city center is brimming with quirky retro cafés, bakeries, and a fantastic selection of Asian eateries. After a day of indulging (let’s be honest, I have zero self-control when it comes to food), I rarely manage to save any for takeaway—not the best habit, but oh well!
Keep an eye on my upcoming food reviews for a deep dive into each spot. Also, if you have any must-try recommendations for my next Manchester adventure, let me know!
