Federal Cafe & Bar in Manchester

Three days in a row we breakfasted here. Wonderful food, great service and I love their fed sauce/caprese style ketchup.Wonderful coffee too. Thank you for giving us the right start to the day. I wish you all the success in the world.

Went there with a friend who had come to visit in Manchester.Got the French toast and safe to say it was amazing! The sweetness level was perfect and wasn’t too sickly which is what I was afraid of. The fruit balanced out the caramel sauce and added an additional freshness.You HAVE TO come and try this if you’re in Manchester

Top Manchester establishment, mega menu of delight! Lovely charming staff. Chill, open, classy decor. Stunning food. Often a queue out the door, so if its quiet then get in there and treat yourself!

If you have time for one cafe in Manchester, make it Federal. The coffee is on point. The French toast is divine! The bread is cotton soft, but not soggy, the berries are not soaked in sugar, you can still taste the natural sweet and tangy flavours. The crunch of the (I think it’s granola?) tops it off and adds an interesting texture.The best French toast I had in all my worldwide quest for the prefect French toast.Give it a try. You’re welcome.

A colleague recommended this place and I'd no idea what I was in for!I had a steak sandwich and an espresso... It was so good, I ordered another to take photos and share with my colleagues. Excellent bread. Excellent steak. Excellent preparation. Excellent team. Sometimes the caramelised onion was a little bit overpowering - I think I'd prefer raw onion or shallot - but even then, each bite was a journey that I was glad I took!Hmmmm... Thinking about it, raw onion might detract from the soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture... Hmmmm.... Thinking about it also makes me salivate.Next time I'm in town for lunch, this will be at the top of my list!

By far my favourite brunch place in Manchester! Super cosy, lovely staff and absolutely delicious food! It can get quite busy and you might need to queue for a table, but that should only give you an idea how amazing the place is! Definitely go and check it out!

Had a lovely breakfast meal here. Food well presented and very delicious. Ordered the halloumi & shrooms, with extra avocado, and the superman juice which tasted amazing. Would definitely come here again!

Ambience, staff, food, everything was grand. The food is delicious, good quality, and clearly the chefs care about what they produce, as it is plated up and served beautifully. The place is small so get a seat quick. Although it was busy, we were never made to feel rushed. Despite it being full, it was still very chilled and reasonably quiet, which was a pleasant surprise for being a small place. The menu also has some very interesting choices. I will definitely be back.

Great place to eat. The restaurant is a bit small, but in terms of the food and service it's all great... Plus, you probably won't notice the size of the joint when you're stuffing your face! lol I 100% recommend going here.

The comfortable vibe and environment, very nice food with fast serving. The employees were all quite nice and friendly greeting, especially the staff in the olive green wiolen hat was really kind, with a very warm smile and enthusiasm. I definitely will visit here again and recommend my friends.
