Anyone tried the 'American breakfast' at this place ?

Café North (Shudehill)

Found on a street corner in the Northern Quarter Café North is one of the best places to go for a hangover cure, offering a wide range of breakfasts, baguettes, rolls and the like. The American Breakfast is a monster of a cooked breakfast, consisting of a rump steak, three pork sausages, three slices of bacon, three eggs, three hash browns, beans, mushrooms, grilled tomato AND toast, if you can finish it then congratulations are in order sir! If Café North’s breakfasts can’t sort you out after a night on the sauce then I don’t think anything will!

Somebody elses review on the £9-95 'American breakfast' at Café North ...

I was truly and utterly defeated by the American Breakfast; expensive at £9.95 but you get a piece of rump steak, three pork sausages, three slices of bacon, three eggs, 3 hash browns, beans mushrooms, grilled tomato and toast = Brilliant. Kind of a money saver in a way as you do not need to eat for the rest of the week!

I've been there a few times for breakfast before lunchtime kick offs. I've only ever had the traditional English Breakfast which sounds like the same thing but without the steak and hash browns. It's good grub and much better than you get in whetherspoons or a greasy spoon.

I honestly couldn't recommend that place enough. Their large breakfast is outstanding and the service is good too.

Antonios Cafe by Piccadilly Station was a personal favourite of mine for years too but it's been taken over and ruined. The man serving behind the counter (sometimes in a U****d baseball cap) couldn't be anymore of a miserable **** if he tried.

To be fair the rag fucker has probably had the worst 10 months of its life ;)

If we were 15 points clear with 9 to play then I don't think I'd be miserable. I just don't understand how someone can be borderline aggressive to their customers too.

A lot of his trade would be passing trade rather than frequent callers, so has less need for return custom than a cafe based elsewhere

So there's no workers at Piccadilly Station and the general area or people who live in town that want a sit down meal in a cafe? The staff before were great.

I'm in a service industry and wouldn't dream of employing people who can't achieve basic manners.

I think the owners now are a lot of relatives so they are more or less involved in the business rather than employee's and the thing is with so many travelers it's busy most of the day so they probably ain't worried about the odd person not happy with the service, personally I wouldn't go in again cause the foods gone shite if it's town has to be Abergelde's for me on Shuedhill

Yeah, that is what I was getting at, as they will make enough from casual caller, then they are not as reliant on return trade as many other cafe's

Actually, you've probably both got a point. I went there as a young Lad so it's disappointing to see the place decline. Fuck knows how many plates of Pie, Chips, Peas and Gravy I got through over the years. We also used to use Abergeldes when I worked for the Co-Operative. It was our breakfast butties for Saturday overtime.

I've just remembered another Cafe in South Manchester. It's called something like the Gemini Cafe and it's on Oxford Road opposite the Hospital. I stay at the Travelodge on Upper Brook Street sometimes for City midweek and it's a great breakfast in there. Well priced because of Students too.

What's the breakfast like at the Cafe in the Veladrome by the Ground?
It seems whatever day, at whatever time I have asked for a meal there they "have just stopped serving".
