Fortune Favours The Brave - Edit
Having attempted to come here for breakfast a few years ago, only to be summarily laughed out of the door at the mere suggestion that I might partake in the buffet without actually staying at the hotel, I had been somewhat hesitant to try again. However, as I was running behind schedule for my intended target, I thought it worth chancing my arm once more.
Read moreTo my delight, they had indeed had a change of policy. That wasn’t the only thing that had changed either. The restaurant itself had undergone a significant facelift and now felt infinitely more welcoming than the rather morose space I remembered. Bright, modern, and comfortable, it immediately gave me cause for optimism.
Having recently visited one of its sister restaurants, I had a fairly good idea of what awaited me. Reassuringly, all the staples were present and accounted for. Plant-based milks flowed freely, the cereals were all accounted for, the delectable hash browns were once again impossible to resist, while the reliably superb mushrooms and baked beans provided dependable support. Throw in a fine array of yoghurts, pancakes drenched in golden syrup, and soft, fresh bagels - there was certainly no danger of leaving hungry.
There was, however, one notable omission; the sausages were nowhere to be seen. Thankfully, it took nothing more than a quick word with my diligent server for a generous plateful to materialise from the kitchen. While I greatly appreciated the willingness to accommodate, there is something undeniably satisfying about seeing such things readily available on the spread itself. The magic of simply helping yourself was, in this instance, lost ever so slightly.
That minor quibble aside, the quality of the food was every bit the equal of its sibling across the city. Everything was well prepared, fresh, and replenished with impressive efficiency, while the attentive service elevated the experience further still.
Did it manage to dethrone its sister venue as my favourite breakfast spot in Manchester? Not quite. The slightly less seamless buffet experience means it falls just short of claiming the crown. Even so, with its phenomenal value and excellent options, it remains a remarkable place to feast in the morning and one I’d implore you to check out.
