Luxury dessert and brunch destination announces opening date with freebies and offers up for grabs
Discover the new luxurious dessert destination in the city: Haute Dolci, Deansgate, as the opening date is revealed.
The highly anticipated Haute Dolci, a luxury dessert and brunch destination, has now revealed its opening date for the iconic No.1 Deansgate.
Opening its doors on 11th October, this new location brings crafted indulgence, elegant design, and its signature brunch-and-dessert experience to the city centre.
Already loved by visitors to Greater Manchester, this new location joins Haute Dolci’s two other Manchester stores at the Trafford Centre and Wilmslow Road, and marks Haute Dolci’s 20th UK experience destination - a milestone moment in the brand’s journey to become the world’s most iconic dessert and brunch destination.
Guests can enjoy a menu that beautifully balances indulgence with innovation, featuring favourites such as the viral Dubai Kunafa Bar and the artisan Matilda Cake, along with signature waffles, crêpes, and filled croissant sandwiches. The new Deansgate location also introduces an elevated brunch collection, marking the brand's first venture into savoury dishes.
The Deansgate location has been crafted as a destination of indulgence and elegance by Architect Designer, Tony Abberley, of ADA Interior Architecture. Guests are welcomed into a grand double-height space where an open dessert bar and kitchen invite them to witness each creation come to life. Ascending to the mezzanine reveals an intimate lounge setting that overlooks both the entrance and the vibrant Deansgate streetscape through expansive panoramic glazing. The interiors exude refinement with warm cream and rich chocolate tones, layered against polished travertine walls. A statement chandelier, designed exclusively for this space, cascades light through the atrium, while a monumental 200” digital media wall provides a dramatic contemporary touch.
Tony Abberley, said: “With Haute Dolci, we wanted to create more than a restaurant - it’s an experience destination. Guests today want to feel like they’re stepping into somewhere special, somewhere that could only exist here. We drew inspiration from heritage handbags and vintage accessories, borrowing subtle details - textures, clasps, chains - and translated them into the interiors. The wall-to-ceiling glass brings a sense of indulgent drama, but the space still feels intimate, like discovering a beautiful independent boutique. It’s luxury with personality, designed to be remembered.”
The launch of the new Deansgate location also sees the return of the HD Key, offering customers an iconic loyalty experience filled with exclusive treats and events. The HD Key grants holders 50% off their total bill on weekdays in October and November and can be shared among family and friends. The re-launch of the HD Key kicks off in Manchester on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th October. Look out for the HD Keys across Deansgate Central, starting from the new Haute Dolci location, and the Wilmslow Road area on Friday 3rd and the Trafford Centre on Saturday 4th October.
