The King Is Dead, Long Live The King - Edit
Having already anointed one of its sister locations as the finest breakfast in Manchester, this place had an awfully lofty benchmark to meet. Matching such a standard would have been an achievement in itself; surpassing it seemed an altogether taller order.
Read moreFrom the outside, you’d be forgiven for thinking that what lay within might be somewhat underwhelming. The rather drab, distinctly 1970s façade of the hotel does little to inspire confidence. Step inside, however, and it’s an entirely different story. Fresh, bright, and modern, the restaurant is an inviting space that manages to feel spacious, yet cosy at the same time - an ideal setting in which to ease into the day.
When it came to the buffet itself, all the classics were present and accounted for, each prepared about as well as one could reasonably hope. There were plump Quorn sausages, rich baked beans, meaty mushrooms, and crisp, golden hash browns that disappeared from my plate with alarming regularity. Elsewhere, an excellent selection of yoghurts, fresh, soft bagels, and delightfully toothsome pancakes - made even better by liberal lashings of maple syrup - ensured there was no danger of monotony setting in. Throw in excellent oat milk, a respectable cereal selection, and coffee that was genuinely worth drinking, and there was precious little left to criticise.
In terms of both breadth and quality, it proved every inch the equal of its larger counterpart. The real difference, however, wasn’t the food at all - it was the people, and one person in particular: Mike.
I’m sure he’d be the first to point out that he’s not saving lives, but that somehow makes his approach to hospitality all the more admirable. He was the epitome of excellent service: unfailingly polite, effortlessly helpful, and always nearby without ever becoming intrusive. It’s increasingly rare to encounter someone who so obviously takes genuine pride in their work, and his warmth elevated an already excellent breakfast into something that bit more special.
So, did it manage to steal the crown from its near neighbour? Unequivocally, yes. Thanks to its welcoming atmosphere, exceptional value for money, and service that genuinely sets the standard, this has become my number one recommendation for early morning feasting in the heart of the city.
