Trof - Northern Quarter in Manchester

Lovely, atmospheric cafe bar. The only downside side is having the loo on the top floor. Nice staff. We didn't eat but thee food looked great.

Had a Lamb Sunday roast and for sure it didn't disappoint.. would definitely be back to have more of it

Good food poor service, our waitress went on her break through our dinner and no one really filled in . A mistake with the bill twice ,we pointed out there was no drinks on it ,it still came back wrong . Been here before usually very good . Didn't tip as not good service

Manchester is a great place to go for night out and is safe

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an exceptional dining experience at Trof Northern Quarter in Manchester! The traditional Sunday dinner was absolutely delicious, and the quirky rustic setting added a unique charm to the meal. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff who made us feel right at home. I will definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fantastic meal in a cozy atmosphere.

Excellent service, dining area really private but still feels the atmosphere of the main bar. Food was great, would definitely come again.

Wonderfull location & great staff! Forgot my purse with passport etc. there and got it back :)

Pleasant enough, although a tad noisy for diners.

Delicious food 👌 vihno verde wine was really nice Busy with people! (we went on Saturday) Good vibes Easy to book Would recommend you to visit this pub

Called in for a pre-gig drink early doors, and it was busy. Always a nice pint. Lots of choices, beers, wines, and spirits. Cocktails are available, too. Food is very nice and reasonably priced. (Best to book a table) Toilets are like being in spoons, but that can't be helped for the age of the building. One of the iconic NQ pubs.

Great Sunday dinner for 5,pork was fantastic,could of had more chicken,also beef was good, but once again portions could do with being bigger.

Food, service and atmosphere outstanding, background music good too. Trof is a must if visiting Manchester but booking would be advised

Would easily say top 3 roasts in Manchester, everything was perfect! They were extremely busy on the day we were booked in (and you can understand why!) but the vibe was great, staff were attentive enough but also were not on our backs to get the table back. It was super relaxed and perfect for a Sunday night! Only problem that there was no cauli cheese, serves us right for booking at 6pm! (Will defo book again soon and earlier!!)

Full English breakfast was great!

A top tier roast. Friendly staff and good tunes. Would recommend to anyone

Such a good brunch spot. Really friendly staff, good food and they are cool with dogs

Lovely place. Shame toilets were at top of building. Reasonably priced drinks. Friendly staff

Tasty Sunday roast, good coffee, friendly staff.

Jake served me I had the Singapore sling it was the best cocktail I’ve had I’ve in years I will definitely be back ❤️

Few cocktails after work, bartender (jake) was amazing, very professional, knowledgeable with great recommendations 10/10 would reconmend coming here!

Really nice food and atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff too

WOW WOW WOW - Trof is simply amazing. a wonderful place to eat, drink, relax & generally chill. Huge amounts of choice to drink, every imaginable thirst quenching tipple will be covered. The food was top class, fresh ingredients, excellently cooked & beautifully presented. The place as a great, casual friendly vide & the service is professional with a huge dollop of smiles & chit chat - a brilliant place to visit whenever you are in Manchester

Love it here - food is consistently good and staff are super friendly. Came on Friday and it was great as usual 🥰

Food is good, your face needs to fit - its quirky and very NQ, worth trying.

Looked great but no kids after 6 so we couldn't eat there

Lovely atmosphere and place. Staff make you feel very welcome, will definitely be going back when next in the Northern Quarter.

2nd time here for a Sunday roast. One of the best I’ve had!

Very nice staff. I’d recommend booking if not just staying for a drink as it was tight on a Saturday afternoon. Food menu is well selected and there were a few veggie and vegan options too.

Sunday Menu is good Roast and brunch

Very nice service. Good atmosphere. Tasty fish&chips, good chicken burger. Tea and coffee are at height too. Thank you!

Love this bar. Great drinks selection and lovely welcoming atmosphere.

could not fault the place. a true Manchester institution. popped in on Friday & Saturday night & somehow ended up staying all night ! The welcome & service from all the team is bang on throughout & they are genuine which is important. wine, food, tunes, atmosphere all bang on perfect.

Good Sunday roast and brunch menus. Nice cocktails and whiskys. Recommend booking if going for a lunch as it gets busy at 12.

Loud and staff don't protect punters with mad drunks in women's faces

Amazing atmosphere, great food.

Fantastic food Fantastic staff A gem in the NQ

Sunday roast at the Trof... Absolute highlight of my stay in Manchester! Magnificent 😍😍😍

Very busy but really helpful staff who got us a table asap 👍👌

I chose to have a Sunday dinner here because it was rated on the top 10 best Sunday roast in Manchester. Lovely ambience and staff were lovely. I think I expected it to be amazing but it was just ok, Veggies and gravy were nice but the meat was stringy and cauliflower cheese wasn’t that great at all. Expensive compared to other places for a roast dinner so not somewhere I will return.

Nice bar with lots of seating across many floors - was still super-busy on a Wednesday. Ordered the fish 'n chips - disappointingly a little soggy (both the battered fish, and the chips)

the confit duck hash was excellent, service too!

I decided to book here for a Sunday roast for my boyfriend and I, as we were staying in a hotel nearby. All of the reviews said how lovely the food was so we were really looking forward to it We arrived about 5-10mins early and got ourselves a drink by the bar before our table was ready. Once it was, we were shown to our table and our food order was taken. I had the chicken roast, and my boyfriend had the beef, we decided to share a cauliflower cheese also. We didn't have too long to wait before our meals arrived and everything looked so good. As soon as we tucked in, we didn't say a work to each other for the rest of the meal- we didn't want to stop eating! Everything was so gorgeous. We were checked upon by a waiter and we requested some more gravy, which arrived shortly after. The waiter was genuinely really lovely and the food was the best Sunday roast we've had the pleasure to have. We'll make sure to visit again!

great place, we've been there on Sunday and I had one of the greatest sunday roast ever. Great service and great food. didn't wait too long for food.

Amazing place for a Sunday roast, the food was to die for! Great atmosphere. All staff were amazing but in particular, Keegan (?) was so friendly and attentive. I wouldn’t hesitate to take my friends and family here.

Intimate modern pub with a good selection of draught beers. The smash burger is good and the staff friendly. Great music playing too.

Really lovely breakfast, orange juice and mug of breakfast tea, teabag left in! Yay! Only thing is I don't like streaky bacon.

I’d organised a meeting here with up to 18 work colleagues from about 5.30pm but got here 4.15 with a friend, we ordered a couple of drinks in the downstairs bar and decided to explore the other two floors, there’s a small open air seating area on the next floor and a nice big room with a well stocked bar. After 6 I was glad to see another 4 work mates arrive and we all had some food, me just triple cooked chips which although tasty were a bit greasy for my liking but I heard the burgers were delicious. There’s a happy hour from 4-9 but this didn’t include bottles just cocktails and pints but it’s a very good deal for the city centre. TROF is nice, bare wooden floors, bare brick walls and friendly staff, it’s hard to stand out from the endless bars on Thomas St but TROF does a very good job. I’m sure it gets hammered after 8 on weekends. I’ll definitely be back.

Sunday roast is unreal. Huge Yorkshire pudding 🤤

Decided to catch up with my wife for a late Saturday afternoon drink and bite to eat. Thought we would try the NQ as we rarely go to that end of town. Trof was our choice and they did not disappoint. The wine recommendation was spot on, we had some lovely starters, a salad main for my wife and the fish and chips with side curry sauce for me. All cooked to perfection. My only criticism was that I would have loved the curry to be a little more spicy but that is personal preference. Jacob our server was very friendly and helpful as were the rest of the staff.

Food and drinks were absolutely phenomenal. Portion sizes are so generous for the price, coffee was PERFECT, staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Try the french toast!! We are tourists in Manchester and we couldn't have found a better spot in this lovely city. Our server Jacob was very friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a brunch spot!

After spending ages seeking a dog friendly restaurant in Manchester, we found Trof. It was very busy but we were soon seated and being served by Megan. Megan was very friendly and efficient and we had our drinks in no time! A good by the glass wine list, well stocked bar and great menu. We both had the steak frites which was done to pink perfection. Crisp frites and a delicious leaf salad with orange dressing that really complemented the tender steak. Everything was perfectly seasoned; delicious. Oscar our Cockerpoo cross, happily sat under the table but enjoyed an ear tickle from Megan. Lovely little venue. Truly dog friendly (we were not the only dog in the bar) and very welcoming. Thanks Megan!

Great bar. Trof lager nice. Would recommend.

Superb breakfast. Quiet place at this time during the week. Very nice neighborhood.

They recommended it to us for their Sunday Roast, which they cook with the typical bread called Yorkshire pudding. Highly recommend this puffed bread. However, I have given the food a low rating because the ox, the roast beef, was not of excellent quality. For my taste, it was meaty. I'm not much of a meat person but I love a good roast beef, and this was not the case. For the rest, all good!

Fantasic food and local beer , staff are amazing here and can't do enough to help. Sunday roast is a must if you get a chance

Totally loved the vibe here Food was divine and good quality

Friendly staff, great steak frites and very good sized portions :-)

Sat in here now, these dinners unreal 1x pork 1xchicken , unreal xx

Had fish and chips here it was the most discusting plate of fish and chip the chips were soggy and a discusting colour and the piece of fish was unbelievable first it looked incredably over cooked the batter was like cardboard and when cut into there was no fish I have eaten in restaurants all over the world and this was decently the worst meal I have ever eaten any where DISTCUSTING

We just had a quick beer and snack (courgette fritti) but everything was on point, bonus points for the amazing treatment to our dog 🐶

Lovely spot, absolutely brilliant staff couldn't have been more attentive or helpful. Food was great and will happily go back to try it in the evening and some cocktails.

A trendy Bar/ Eatery and sells Plant based food by Arley Foods a respected national company

It says 'proper food' served and yes it's delicious and good value for money!

One of the best English breakfasts I’ve ever had.

I haven’t been to this eatery for a long time. When friends have suggested to go to Trof for Sunday lunch because reviews were not bad, we went. Service staff and atmosphere were friendly and nice, sadly I can’t say the same with the food! We all agreed that the gravy was very salty, and it wasn’t served in a jug, it was poured over the roast potatoes, vegetables as well as the meats, it has made the crispy potatoes soggy and the belly pork skin wet and chewy, we thought it was bacon wrapped round the meat! The waitress was very kind to replace it with a fresh piece of pork with the crackling. Sadly, the meat was totally dry and tasteless. I have to say that it was the worst Sunday lunch I have had.

Excellent place to eat and drink at a very reasonable price. Service is excellent.

A great find. Over three floors. The Sunday lunch was really well presented and tasted lovely. Booking will on occasions be advised.

Helen was sound. Great atmosphere. Helen went our of her way and went above and beyond. Thank you!

Roast leather anyone?? New chef clearly is more used to making jackets and shoes than he is cooking beef. Our whole table was given a refund because the food was inedible. The poor waiting staff! Devastated, one of the best spots for a roast in manchester has died. The skills in the kitchen belong in mcdonalds, genuinely sad for the owners.

Our go to breakfast spot every time we are in Manchester. Food and service is always spot on! Lovely coffee & veggie breakfast.

The food was delicious and staff were really friendly and it was reasonably priced for the city centre. Would definitely recommend

The atmosphere was vibrant, staff very friendly and not rushed by them. Food lived upto an exceptional standard and the sticky toffee pudding was amazing

Great food and drinks. It's nice to get a Guinness that's actually poured properly and in a chilled glass 😘

The beer was poured very well and was good, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the place was really nice and not chaotic.

The bar is my absolute favourite in Manchester. Their staff are incredibly sweet and knowledgeable! 🥰

Amazing brunch spot! French toast so yummy

Lovely bar with great atmosphere, quality service and a wide range of cocktails and wine

Really delicious vegetarian roast and great service :)

Cracking spot for a Sunday roast lunch. My friend was hungover to the point of near death and this revived her significantly.

the vegan breakfast at Trog is great !!

This place got everything. 10/10 all round

Great bar, looks tiny but has many floors to it. Also, sells amazing drink and some great cocktails

Amazing food, staff were friendly. Great vibes.

Came in here on a whim as I have heard good things. Oh boy it didn’t disappoint. Had the Steak Frites and it was divine. Will be back

A quick drop in for food. Fish n chips arrived quickly and were really good. Didn't stay much longer but it was a good atmosphere for a Thursday afternoon

Came for breakfast and was barked at by a power happy manager. This placed used to be great, which is a real shame!

Delicious breakfast and coffee.

Food was great, service was great

Brilliant. We hired the upstairs room for a party, food was fantastic, service was brilliant. Would definitely recommend.

Sunday roast was fantastic and service was top notch

Must try their bread, yes, it is a pub, but I had the most delicious scramble egg toast ever here!

great service. great vibes. incredible food.

Had a great meal here. Burger & chips and fish & chips was really good. Proper food. We also had French martini which was great. Highly recommend it here, also it's dog friendly

4 of us came for a roast dinner on Sunday. The place has a homely casual atmosphere and was very busy, a little on the loud side as tables close together. Service was attentive and friendly and the food was very good quality, (all meat from littlewoods butchers) great tasting and a generous portion. Could have been a little hotter but waitress bought over fresh hot gravy when asked. All in all good experience and one of the better roast dinners in MCR

Wanted somewhere that did coffee and cake and also a Guinness and the Trof delivered. Friendly and quick service, delicious sticky toffee pudding and a decent coffee.The pour on the Guinness was perfect too!

Staff are extremely rude, not a nice bar anymore.

Enjoyed stopping here for lunch with a friend. Curry was delicious

Nice enough English breakfast but nothing outstanding, nice service.

Perfect lunch of avocado and poached egg served by Megan who was lovely

I was taken to Trof by my son and daughter to celebrate Mother's Day today. The service was excellent, and the roast beef dinner was amazing!! 😋 Thank you so much to the chefs and the serving staff, for making it a memorable day. 😁🥰
