As one of my favourite cities outside in the UK (after London + Brighton, of course), Manchester has got a lot going on. Cocktail bars? Check. Boujee clubs. For sure. And when that weekend hunger kicks in? There’s brunch for that. From pared-back spaces to luxurious multi-storey restaurants, I’ve rounded up the best brunches in Manchester for every occasion.
