Evelyn's Northern Quarter

Family of 5, had an amazing Saturday brunch here. The extractor fan was broken when we arrived, so a little smokey, but staff were so good and accommodating even with this going on!! All the food was amazing and there was a really good choice for all. Have to say I tried a bit of the waffle and it was incredible, so light and delicious. Would highly recommend a visit here.

First of all the atmosphere at Evelyn’s is lovely, the decor is so classy yet relaxed and we had a great evening, but the actual food does just slightly miss the mark. We got 5 plates + 1 dessert between 2 of us with no drinks, and the bill came to over £80. It’s on the higher side but you’re also paying for the experience of getting to try several different dishes. Highlights: tuna crudo, sumac chicken, cauliflower, labneh - really good so flavourful I can’t fault these Half chicken was juicy but soooo bland like it didn’t have enough salt, even the capers themselves were flavourless as if they’d been boiled Chocolate cremeux was grainy like it had not been emulsified correctly which was a little disappointing. All in all I would probably return, I’d be intrigued to try the other menu items, each one is so creative. But for the price there are places in Manchester with better quality.

Whenever we enjoy a stay over in Manchester from our home in The Lakes (last night we jumped around to Busted v McFly at the Co-op Live) we head to Evelyn's for brunch. It's always a wonderful welcome on arrival, a lovely menu to suit everyone, and top notch loose leaf tea or coffee. My pic is of Egg Royale. Perfect.
