Manchester United Red Café

First time visiting Manchester I came to this spot close by to my stay. We waited for about 40 mins to an hour for our table which was understandable for the busy time. We had received all of our food but one açaí bowl and somehow he had the excuse saying it got lost in the order and waited about 20-40 mins to get my food while everyone else got theirs. The staff was very nice and welcoming.

Excellent brunch here! All the staff were friendly and despite being quoted a 20 min wait, it was about 10 min. We got window counter seats and ordered at the till. The Tumeric Latte was absolutely delicious, the Stuffed French toast was super decadent and delicious, as was the Halloumi and Shrooms was perfect! The poached eggs were done just right and the sauce was flavorful. The Pineapple porridge reminded us of Hawaii. Portions were generous and the atmosphere was lively at this cozy restaurant. All of it was wonderful! Can't wait to go back!

Federal Cafe Bar is one of Manchester's most popular restaurants on Yelp, mainly a brunch spot they have two branches around the city centre with this being one of their main stores as it was the first one which opened back in 2014. It is currently serving food on a collection basis due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it is also on Deliveroo during this time. The menu is currently a much-reduced menu and some of the items don't seem to travel very well, including the freshly squeezed orange juice which might have been tasty and good quality, but the fact it didn't come with a straw made it hard to drink, especially considering I was eating outside myself. For my food, I ordered the gluten-free eggs on toast which comes with a spicy tomato sauce, however it was more sweet and sticky than spicy. The eggs, however, were pretty good and seasoned well. For £5 this wasn't bad. I also got some extras including bacon and chorizo at £2 each, the bacon was a little fatty and the chorizo was slightly chewy but the latter did have nice flavours. The gluten-free toast was pretty bad, it was barely toasted and it was inedible, even the fact it was soggy due to being drenched in the sauce didn't make it edible. I threw some to nearby pigeons, and even they turned their backs on it. A good place for brunch, do bear in mind this place doesn't have disabled access but it really isn't a good place for take-out from a lack of straws to the food being too messy and just not suitable for take-out or delivery. 3*

Quite good food . Tasty orange juice Maybe try it Maybe try it Maybe try it Maybe try it

I had a fantastic brunch! The food, service, coffee, and cocktails were all outstanding! There was a line out the door. I was alone, but was still told there would be a 20 minute wait time. It was literally 5 minutes. They opened at 8am on a Sunday! I got there around 10. If you don't want to wait, you'd better be standing there when they unlock the doors!
