I tried the Deliveroo Award nominated cafe in Manchester - they had the best vibe!

They actually have two cafe’s here in Manchester with one on Hilton street and the other on Peter Street.

I did try to go down on the Easter weekend, but unfortunately they were far too full but if I’m being completely honest, I think that was a good thing because this time I was able to enjoy the relaxed and peaceful vibe in there.

Apart from the weekends they are open from 7:30am till 8pm. Although, they don’t really serve dinner food but more so breakfast and lunch meals throughout most of the day.

I decided to give their April specials a try and sampled the £4 Iced Honey & Lemon Matcha Refresher. I truly felt all the goodness from this drink as I’m currently suffering from a slight cold but this really made me feel rejuvenated. I’m slowly getting used to the Matcha taste and if you’re the same, you might want to go for a vanilla matcha to hide that (often grassy) taste a little more.

For dinner, I tried the £11.50 Halloumi & Roasted Peppers Khobez on flatbread which included: “Pan seared halloumi, roasted peppers, pickled red onion, sesame seeds & rocket with E&G chilli sauce.”

I thought that this meal was so lovely and light with even more healthy goodness.

The staff were great at Ezra & Gil and though they do have some laptop-free tables, I would certainly recommend that you come here to study or work because the atmosphere just fits a study-vibe so nicely.

Overall, you can definitely see why Ezra & Gil are nominated for The Deliveroo Awards 2025. With great food and a relaxing environment, I can’t wait to go back for more!
