Modern British · Manchester
A relaxed brunch spot in Monton village that manages to feel grown-up without being precious about children. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all there, plus outdoor seating for when the noise gets much, and the toilets come in for repeated praise — spotlessly clean, which matters more than it should. The cooking is genuinely good: cheesy chicken hash, koftas on flatbread, halloumi with eggs and avocado, eggs benedict, and an iced americano regulars rate as the finest in Monton. Staff stay attentive even when it's rammed, so food arrives quickly. Two honest snags: book ahead, because it's busy even on a windy Monday lunchtime, and the truffle fries disappoint. Expect around £50 for two with drinks and puddings, service charge included and cheerfully removable.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
