Monaco Café stylish brunch gem on Manchester Restaurant Tour
SPONSORED CONTENT HALAL STATUS Fully HalalOne of the standout surprises on this memorable food tour to Manchester was this beautifully conceived café in Salford.
Located in Anchorage Quay, Monaco Café perfectly complements its sleek waterfront setting along the historic Manchester Ship Canal, with the Imperial War Museum North across the water.
With its strikingly ultra-modern design, this airy, two-storey venue has seating for a dozen downstairs and a further 20 on the first floor.
Offering a fully Halal menu, Monaco Café serves an all-day brunch from 8am until 5pm, followed by an à la carte menu from 5.30pm, along with an array of hot and cold beverages.
From iced lattes, coffees, teas, and ‘Monaco Matcha Moments’ with all-things matcha, to Smoothies and Mocktails, it’s their spectacular all-day brunch that requires highlighting.
Monaco Café serves brilliant all-day brunch
It is obvious that Monaco Café has invested plenty of care and attention into the preparation and execution of all their dishes and drinks.
Of the five items on their all-day brunch menu – Eggvacado, Honey and Harbour, Brunch at the Bay, Sunrise over the Balcony, and the Good Morning Monaco – the Honey and Harbour is one of their best sellers.
A joyous affair really, with the piquancy of the creamy Greek yoghurt beautifully contrasting against the sweetness of the natural honey and the chocolate drizzled over the crunchy granola, with plenty of fresh seasonal fruits and berries to boot.
Just do not forget to pair anything you order with their refreshingly good mocktails and wholesome smoothies.
Good Morning Monaco indeed, with an irresistibly hearty breakfast comprising of perfectly fried eggs, sizzling beef sausages, crispy turkey bacon, golden hash browns, earthy mushrooms, and juicy cherry tomatoes, all paired with freshly toasted sourdough bread.
Bursting with flavor and packed with protein, this plate is the ultimate wake-up call and will have you engaged right until the very end.
If you’re after something more decadent, then it has to be their Brunch at the Bay, with a breakfast dish that revolves around luxuriously tender, medium seared steaks.
Exquisitely executed to a sexy pink medium, these come with those crispy hash browns, cherry tomatoes-on-a-vine, and sunny-side up fried eggs on golden toasted sourdough, before being completed with their secret chilli honey sauce.
If you’re looking to elevate your breakfast, then consider this Eggvacado, with creamy smashed avocado and silky poached eggs atop perfectly toasted sourdough, paired with your choice of smoky salmon or savory turkey bacon,
Finished with a hint of that signature chilli honey drizzle, this is a fresh, vibrant twist on the classic morning plate that’s as delicious as it is satisfying.
Otherwise, this Sunrise Over the Balcony will reinvigorate the senses with velvety Greek yogurt drizzled with smoky chilli, crowned with a poached egg that’s sprinkled with fresh parsley.
Served alongside warm toasted sourdough, this bright, bold starter brings a hint of coastal charm to every bite.
If you’re looking to satisfy that sweet tooth early in the morning though, then indulge in this Berry Bella Vie, which brings together golden, thick French toast piled high with jewel-bright berries and a drizzle of rich maple syrup.
Sweet, simple, and irresistibly charming — you’ll want to enjoy this one with Monaco Café’s hot beverages, with coffee beans specially sourced from abroad to ensure their commitment towards authenticity.
And there’s plenty more to enjoy, including their evening main course menu with dishes such as Lamb Kabsa, La Vie Fettuccine pasta and seasoned minced beef, and a Monaco smashed burger and fries.
Monaco Café is the only place to visit and relax by the water after exploring the distinctive and atmospheric area of Anchorage Quay in Salford.
