Since opening its doors in 2014, Ezra & Gil has cemented itself as one of Manchester’s go-to brunch spots, effortlessly combining Northern Quarter cool with a proper neighbourhood feel. What started as a vision for a community café with quality food and coffee at its heart has grown into something of a city institution, now with locations on Peter Street and Liverpool alongside its original Hilton Street café.

The all-day brunch menu is a huge draw, packed with dishes that strike the perfect balance between comforting and fresh. From simple, well-executed classics to more inventive plates, the focus is always on great ingredients, done right. Piled-high toasts, colourful bowls, and indulgent treats mean there’s something for every kind of morning, whether you’re after a quick bite or a leisurely weekend spread.

The coffee is just as much of a reason to visit. Whether it’s a strong flat white, a slow-brewed filter, or an iced oat latte to fuel the day, the team at Ezra & Gil take pride in getting it just right. There’s also a long list of teas, juices, and smoothies to round out the drinks offering.

Ezra & Gil is a space that people just love to spend time in. The laid-back energy make it as perfect for solo laptop sessions as it is for long catch-ups with friends. It’s a genuinely welcoming, unfussy café, the kind of place where you order one coffee and end up staying for three.
