17 editor picks in Manchester.
Brunch in Manchester is really a Northern Quarter habit, built on the area's dense run of independent cafes and their unhurried weekend service. Ezra & Gil and Federal Cafe and Bar set the template, with Fig + Sparrow and Evelyn's Cafe Bar adding their own variations nearby. Pollen Bakery in Ancoats and Long Boi's Bakehouse in Levenshulme show the format spilling out beyond the centre into the city's bakery culture.
