Fress Restaurant & Bar

Lovely place for brunch and drinks. Had a nice catch up with some friends. Customer service was brilliant and were very attentive. Food was also well presented. The atmosphere just gave me a lovely American style setting. Was lovely. Hope to visit again

Spontaneously dropped by Fress whilst walking by, to grab some breakfast with my partner. We chose the Full English breakfast and the Brekkie beast burger.
The good: the food was hot and freshly made, with good portions. Didn't take too long to arrive either. The cheesy hash and scrambled eggs were yummy and the staff were attentive in catering to what we needed.

The less-good: unfortunately lacking in flavour and quality of meat compared to some other places we've tried in Manchester. Not a fan of their flat sausage. The sourdough toast was also pretty hard, but it was better when it had absorbed the baked bean sauce!
The burger was very messy to eat!

Overall the experience was good, but we wouldn't rush back. We definitely left will full bellies though. 🥓🍳

I came here from a place down the road after waiting for service for over 30 minutes and it was such a better experience, you know like a restaurant/ eatery should be.

Seated immediately. Order taken within ten minutes.

Food arrived approximately 15 to 20 minutes laters and was delicious.

I especially liked cheesy hash, a new addition to a full English breakfast I’ve not seen elsewhere.

Busy place but demand is well managed by diligent and professional staff.

Both a hit and a miss at the same time?!
We went on two separate occasions to @fressrestaurant and have some mixed feelings.

Vibe 💖💖💖💖🤍
We felt like Fress had a good vibe. It’s small but decorated with a really cool feel. We appreciated the cute velvet pink chairs and neon signs.  They also had offers for cocktails and bottomless and we think it’d be a good place to for these kind events.

Service 💖💖🤍🤍🤍
We felt a little let down by the service unfortunately. The staff seemed stressed and possibly down a person or two (not sure if this was the case but we did feel bad for them). We tried a few times to speak to someone about getting the bill after waiting a pretty long time and found it difficult to catch anyone’s eye.

Taste 💖💖💖💖🤍
The first time we went we both ordered the ‘Smashed Avocado’. One with streaky bacon (added halloumi) and one with smoked salmon. We were blown away not just by the presentation and the delicious taste but also by the portion size!  Image 5 you can see there was two pieces of toast with loads of avo and smoked salmon on each (not to mention the sauces and poached eggs).

The second time we went though, the bread tasted kinda stale and the poached eggs were overcooked and almost acidic (swipe to the end for the video). Both times the coffee was super milky and not great. That being said, they’re known for their desserts, cocktails and dinner.  We don’t know if it was just a bad day the second time, or we got really lucky the first time. What’s your experience?

Instagramability: 💖💖💖💖🤍
The dishes were beautifully presented. Couldn’t be better and we wanted to give 5/5 but the coffee’s were so disappointing, we’ve had to reduce a heart.

•Deal: go bottomless £15pp (+meal cost)
