The Gallery Café at Manchester Art Gallery offers a relaxed and welcoming environment to enjoy seasonal British dishes made from locally sourced ingredients. The menu includes hearty mains, fresh salads, and a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Desserts are made in-house, featuring cakes like pistachio and lime or banana loaf with cream cheese frosting. The café also serves a range of coffees, specialty teas, and wines. Located in the city centre, it’s a great spot to rest and refuel while exploring the gallery or nearby attractions.
Beautiful fresh food and good coffee. Always a good range of vegan and gluten free. Prices very reasonable.
Amazing food served at great prices! Nothing more to ask for! I had the best toastie of my life here! It was the caramelised onions and cheese toastie! It’s a must try in my opinion! Also I had the other sandwiches and coffee and it was amazing! I finished my meal with an orange almond cake which I expected to be dry but turned out delicious 🤤
I have previously had lovely food in this cafe.However sadly the menu seems to have changed. I ordered Guinness Rarebit, expecting the lovely cheesy Rarebit dish I have previously enjoyed here ,however I was served 3 small pieces of toasted dry bread with something smeared on the top.This didn't resemble any Rarebit I have eaten before. Very sad that the quality here seems to have deteriorated as it had been one of my favourite cafes in Manchester.
They said 11.30am is when the kitchen opens. I ordered the sausage roll. They will be cooling down from the hot oven they said. 5 mins later I was served a sausage roll straight from the the fridge I asked for it to be warmed up It came back at room temperature. I GIVE UP!! Huge disconnect between kitchen and front staff. Someone is telling lies or do not really care
