There was a time when a quick builder's brew and a bacon sandwich would do, but now there's a whole host of places dedicated to the ritual that is brunch. Whether it's smashed avocado on toast, eggs benedict or fluffy pancakes doused in all manner of sweet toppings - we just can't seem to get enough.
Thankfully, here in Manchester though, there's a balance between no-nonsense caffs serving up the all-the-trimmings full English and slinging out mugs of tea, and trendy restaurants with artisan sourdoughs and breakfast cocktails. The range is really quite impressive and also spans Japanese, Mexican and even Indian breakfast options - Dishoom, for example, serves up a feast and naans, boozy cocktails and chai.
