Café Balzar in Manchester

Friendly and good service, cocktails are stunning!!..

Had a Bloody Mary which was the nicest one I have ever had. Normally any airport food is abit naff, but this place is lovely. Really good & quick service too.

Fabulous spicy bloody mary, great service, good start to our holiday

Had a pleasant morning waiting for our flights with Carina and Jobin serving us. Very upbeat and positive start to our holiday.

Excellent service, Excellent Bloody Mary

Had a fab time. The service was fantastic Joban was lovely. I ate a bacon sandwich and it was bang on. Can't fault the service , staff or atmosphere at all..

we returned! this time we ordered baked brie and chips. baked brie and chips: i was a little worried when the brie and bread came out as the brie looked almost very watery, and there was not that much bread. however after tucking in all concerns left my mind. this was absolutely delicious. the brie was doused in olive oil infused with rosemary, and the sourdough bread was so crispy and airy. together they were the perfect combination and we’re both exactly the right amount. the chips were nice, same as last time. nice crispy fries. another great experience here. i hope to come back here very soon as try other items on the menu (the steak sandwich looks very enticing). as i said before, if you find yourself in manchester airport at terminal 1, make sure to eat here.

Fantastic staff! Loved the atmosphere.

Jobin makes the best bloody Mary’s! And a lovely guy

Jobin was so helpful and friendly, lovely start to the holiday

The food is very good and nice customer service from stinto.

The waiter who was being over our drinks ‘Stiwto’ was absolutely amazing and delightful and made my experience in the bar before my light very peaceful.

Efreena thank you for Kerala and my best wishes

Very good customer service from stinto thanks

Buhvi has great customer service. She had a welcoming smile and a very pleasant personality. She made me feel as though I was being served something special and good.

Lovely for by airport standards big portions and served quickly. Excellent service from Jobi and Ellie who were both happy and friendly.

Great service, and help with entertaining our little boy Elliott whilst me and my wife had our breakfast

Good food, the service tho was really great. Libby was funny, great at striking up good convo at the bar, what an asset to the team! Sent from happy customer in costa del Sol!

Although being at the airport was a long and dragging experience. One of the servers made my day! I believe her name was Libby? Or lib? Really lovely girl. Helped me decide what to have as had no idea! Really kinda, great service! Great food and my coffee was exactly how I liked it! Hot!!! Thank you again for making a long wait manageable

Exceptional service from Libby in cafe blazar this morning before my flight to Belfast, really made my morning and she couldn’t go out of her way enough to make sure we had the best service!!💯

Can’t go wrong with this place, nice food and super quick! Also, the waitress Libby made our experience extra easy!

I recently stopped by cafe balzar.i had egg florentine for breakfast it was really good.i was impressed by the bhuvi's expectional service and I highly recommend this place

Bhuvi was very friendly and professional! Thankyou

Horrendous manager on duty this morning, so rude. Shouted at me and at his staff when their payment system failed. Should not be working in customer service.

Jeremiah made an outstanding cocktail for me and my partner. Great way to start the holiday!

Khushi was amazing so friendly and welcoming made our experience great.

Great service and smile from Khushu, thank you. Ali 🤗

Lovely staff and a nice clean bar

Been coming here for years. Steak sandwich and a Peroni and my holiday starts 👍

A few weeks ago I came in with my family and it was a lovely atmosphere! Our server Afia was so helpful and great!

Some of the staff were a little rude. I ordered some tea and the cup that I was given was dirty. I asked for another and that one needed cleaning too. I didn't drink my tea.

Thank you to Afia for making this a great experience. Lovely place and atmosphere. Afia was especially great. Thank you will come again 👍🏼

Today I was served by afia she was very nice and helpful with my service, very friendly and patient. The restaurant was great will be coming back.

Wonderful start to our little holiday. Jobin made us the most delicious Bloody Marys to start our birthday shenanigans❣️👌.x

I had read loads of really positive reviews on Google about this place, and thought I’d give it a swirl. I have to say that the reviews weren’t wrong. Great service, delicious food, and very clean. The team were so friendly and helpful and the food came really quickly, was tasty, and beautifully presented.

I had a good laugh with Ellie & Steve today. And they served up lovely San Miguel's for me and Truffle Fries. Top stuff thanks for making the beginning of my trip enjoyable 🙌🏼

We had a bacon baguette and I requested scrambled egg instead of fried egg baguette which they gave with no issue. All fresh eggs and bacon cooked freshly not heated up. Served hot not lukewarm. Really nice. Staff all professional, helpful, well mannered and courteous. A great experience.

Jobin was lovely & really helpful. The food & drinks were lovely too- thank you

Great to be served by Jobin who was very polite, efficient and friendly! I always come here when travelling from T1.

Well situated, good drinks choice. Unfortunately, very unaccommodating and unhelpful experience with senior member of staff regarding dietary requirements.

Jobin was lovely. Very polite and cheerful even at half 4 in the morning

A wonderful place to grab a bite and a drink before getting on a flight. Food was exceptional and the staff (shout out to Jobi, cocktail maker extraordinaire) were brilliant. Top marks all round.

Very friendly staff and excellent coffee

Jobin is the most fantastic server! Great energy and personality at 4am.

Comfortable environment while waiting for a flight. Decent menu but large portions. The potato puffs are really good. Jobin was our bartender and he was very pleasant and very friendly.

Great service and great food. Over priced however, what do you expect when you are at an airport. Happy holidays

Serving was very good. Especially, to mention Jobin and Efrina were very welcoming and showed exceptional hospitality.

Love this cafe, it’s our favourite place to spend time when waiting for a flight. Great service and great views 🛫 Special shoutout to Joru (apologies if this is not correct spelling) and the rest of the staff!

Breakfast at Manchester airport. Server Jobin was great and very professional. Food was good, coffees were lovely. Menu is overpriced bur this is to be expected at the airport. Even so it was still steep.

Early morning nice staff food good thanks

All good eveything, you can walk in and sit down, no waiting.

Had a wonderful experience eating before our flight. A special mention to Jobi for being so efficient and kind. Very quick to notice any plates that needed clearing and very pleasant to talk to, and always had a smile :)

Early morning breakfast really enjoyed it and served by the lovely Jobin who was very welcoming

Electric espresso martinis - Jobin providing the goods - let’s go right now

Jobin delivered us an excellent cocktail and had great service. Thank you Jobin💕

Jobin was super friendly and the service by him and staff were amazing! The pornstar martini he made was super delicious and served with a smile

I stopped by Café Balzar recently and was thoroughly impressed by both the food and drinks. Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs: This dish was not just delicious but also incredibly satisfying. The toast was perfectly crisp, providing a great base for the creamy, well-seasoned avocado. The scrambled eggs were fluffy and generously portioned, making it a hearty and filling meal. It felt fresh, balanced, and left me feeling energized. Vanilla Latte: The vanilla latte was a treat. The espresso was rich and smooth, complemented beautifully by the hint of vanilla sweetness. A comforting and flavorful drink to round out. Ambiance & Service: Café Balzar despite being on Airport has a inviting atmosphere that made the whole experience even more better. The staff was friendly and efficient, making sure everything was just right. Overall, Café Balzar delivered on taste, quality, and service. The avocado toast and vanilla latte combo is a winner for a satisfying breakfast.

Service excellent, Carina was my server. Food just average airport stuff. Bar staff helpful and good humourd. Your app is pants and whoever designed it needs sacking. Why do you need my name , number and mail to pay a bill. And for gods sake sort out gpay.
