Whether you’re looking for Halal brunch in Manchester in the form of an Instagram-worthy shot or Halal breakfast places in Manchester for a good old fry-up, I’ve got you covered in this post!
There are many cafes in Manchester offering halal breakfast, brunch and lunch! Some are fully halal cafes in Manchester, and some offer a few halal options so here are mine and my friend’s, favourite halal cafes in Manchester to try!
Halal Brunch Manchester
The cafe locations vary, you’ll find many halal cafes in Manchester city centre below if you want some brunch on a shopping day out, plus options in Didsbury, Hale, Wilmslow, Chorlton and beyond.
Below, I have detailed cafes in Manchester offering all halal options, and cafes in Manchester offering selected halal options meaning they also serve non-halal meat, likely pork and possibly alcohol so please check them to suit your needs before visiting inshallah.
PLEASE NOTE: The information in this post is from a mixture of my own personal experiences, email replies from cafes & restaurants and information available online. I have tried to make it correct as possible and try to keep it as up-to-date as possible but I suggest calling restaurants and double-checking the details yourself beforehand if you are very concerned about visiting a restaurant that doesn’t serve all halal meat and does serve pork and/or alcohol. Allah knows my intentions inshallah.
1. Caramello (Didsbury)
- Where is it? Didsbury
- Is all of the meat halal? Yes
- Website link
A Mancunian Muslim favourite. I have to start this list of the best halal cafes in Manchester with Caramello! Located in Didsbury this small cafe is always a hit for halal breakfast and brunch in Manchester.
You can choose a sweet option, they do amazing pancakes and French toast, or opt for their big halal fry-up which my husband always goes for. They do a great eggs and avocado too.
Caramello of Didsbury doesn’t take bookings so be prepared to queue and wait on the weekend, but it’s worth it. If I can go during the week I prefer to as it’s less busy.
2. Sip ‘n’ Spice (Wilmslow)
- Where is it? Wilmslow
- Is all of the meat halal? Yes
- Website link
For a halal brunch in Wilsmlow, Sip ‘n’ Spice on the main road has you covered! We went as a family and got to taste a range of their dishes. I loved their Bombay French Toast which is uniquely Chai infused, and this sums up their menu. They are offering brunch classics with an Indian and Desi twist.
Many of their brunch dishes are filled parathas and with all the meat being halal, it was great to have so much to choose from. We enjoyed the turkey bacon and egg paratha but I have to say that the slow cooked beef paratha on the lunch menu that we took home for later was incredible!
We found the kids menu to be really generous, especially for the price, my toddler loved the Cheesy Dosa and we also had the Nutella Pancakes which were super kid friendly.
They have a range of drinks and everything is very pretty and aesthetic from the food to the restaurant. Set on Waters Lane in Wilmslow you can sit outside or inside and it’s a great spot to watch the world go by with a delicious brunch.. or lunch!
3. Brewch MCR (Gatley)
- Where is it? Gatley, Cheadle
- Is all of the meat halal? Yes

One of my favourite spots to meet friends and work from in Gatley Village, Cheadle is Brewch MCR!
All of their options are halal which is nicely noted on their Instagram page and menu. They offer lots of all-day brunch options including a halal full English breakfast which my friends had and said is amazing as well as ‘East meets West’ options and Paninis.
We know it can be hard to find halal steak sometimes so I recommend their Black Angus Steak Panini to go, it’s delicious and shows you can go there for lunch as well as breakfast!
4. Essy’s (Cheadle + City Centre)
- Where is it? 3 x locations in Cheadle & City Centre
- Is all of the meat halal? Yes
- Website link
Essy’s has 3 spots in Manchester and I love the Cheadle one for how small and intimate it is. It’s one of the cafes you might not think is halal initially but it is!
Essy’s Cafes in Manchester serve a hearty and comforting brunch menu that blends traditional British favourites with modern café classics with dishes like a Traditional English Breakfast, Breakfast Wraps, and Vegan Breakfasts, alongside lighter bites such as paninis and toasties.

Hare & Kin is one of the popular brunch cafes in Didsbury Village and although it is not fully halal and they do serve alcohol and pork. They do serve a Halal Breakfast with merguez lamb sausage and turkey bacon and many of their other classic egg dishes can be accompanied by these halal meats too to make for a delicious halal brunch in Didsbury.

- Is all of the meat halal? Yes

I stumbled upon Fress randomly with some friends last summer. We sat down for a milkshake which they are known for in Manchester and we saw halal signs on their menu and they now have a fully halal menu.
Fress Café in Manchester’s Northern Quarter offers one of the city’s most vibrant halal-friendly brunch experiences. Their menu puts a creative spin on classic comfort food — think Halal Full English breakfasts with turkey rashers and cheesy hash, indulgent waffle burgers, and pistachio pancakes that are as photogenic as they are delicious.
They have stylish, modern interior and generous portions making it a great go-to halal brunch spot in Manchester for friends to catch up at.

- Where is it? Hale, Wilmslow & Bramhall
- Is all of the meat halal? No, selected options only
- Website link
If you live in South Manchester or are looking for halal food in Hale, Altrincham and Wilmslow way. Juniper with its 3 locations in Hale, Wilmslow and Bramhall is a great option and a favourite of many people who live here.
Juniper is not fully halal, they offer selected halal meats like Turkey bacon, but I like that their menu clearly shows what is halal and what is not as the waiters in my experience are helpful too.
I love the decor and vibe of Juniper and have always had a nice experience in Hale and Wilmslow. It’s a nice place to visit with friends for a girly brunch and offers fresh and healthy food options.

We don’t serve pork and any pork-based products such as sausages and black pudding (served on our ECB breakfast) are substituted with vegetarian or lamb replacements.’
If not everyone wants brunch, they have a great lunch menu too, and they actually open late until dinner making it one of the halal restaurants in Manchester I recommend.
