From the brunches of the bottomless variety to quirky brunches consisting of pizzas and chicken wings, we’ve kind of seen it all here in Manchester. But now, we get to take it outside. There’s something a little Parisian about being able to enjoy brunch on an outdoor terrace, watching the world pass by as you start your day with eggs and pastries – and we’re so ready to say ‘bonjour!’ to the whole concept. Feel like whacking on your beret and doing the same? Read on for our guide to outdoor brunch in Manchester.
1. Impossible
Serving up their bottomless brunch alongside their fantastic outdoor terrace, which is a permanent fixture over on Great Northern Square, Impossible has a fantastic new brunch menu that includes hearty full English breakfasts, stacked burgers and chicken and waffles. Guests can enjoy a variety of free-flowing beers, spirits, wines, prosecco and cocktails which are all part of the bottomless brunch, with a little something for everyone to try. Book it here.
2. Crazy Pedros
Another non-traditional brunch offering (which is perfect for us non-traditional Mancs), Crazy Pedros serves up bottomless slices every single day, alongside bottomless cocktails, Hooch, beer and prosecco.
