Expo Lounge in Manchester

We had a great meal here super happy gluten free win as a coeliac. Happy nice good service ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a love meal and coffee there. Everything was lovely, great staff and yummy food

All time favourite brunch/date spot. Food is amazing, the dishes are so creative and beautiful! The place is gorgeous with such a great vibe. Went back today for my partner’s birthday brunch and was served by our fav Mark, always so lovely and welcoming. Xx

Delicious vegetarian options and efficient service. Lovely spot to catch up on life admin.

As always a real pleasure, dog friendly is always a bonus- the best Eggs Benedict- a naughty pleasure, especially with a sausage on the side for my golden retriever Patrōn! The young man who served us is always so smiley, friendly and pleasant- he is one of the reasons we keep coming back to Expo Lounge- honestly feel like he’s happy to see us- he has a definite skill in Hospitality! 10/10! Thank you

Excellent service, clean and staff are very helpful

Food was very impressive but service was slow and tables were quite close together

Me encantan los Lounges y siempre busco el más cercano dondequiera que esté, pero he comenzado a notar en mis últimas 2 o 3 visitas que rara vez recibo una comida caliente. La comida se sirve invariablemente tibia, por lo que para cuando estás a mitad de camino, está fría. El salón Expo no fue la excepción - pan plano de kebab de cordero y patatas fritas se veían y sabían excelente, pero eran tibias en el mejor de los casos. He enviado comidas de vuelta antes en los Lounges por no ser servido caliente. Parecen estar sentados demasiado tiempo en el paso. Cronometré un baño de salchichas en Frome Cortado Lounge a los 5 minutos de aparecer en el pase para ser servido a mi mesa. Tienen que resolver esto.

Came here with my baby and my partner. Sat at the front window seat with my pram as it was a well lit area and spacious for the pram. Sat for 10 minutes and noticed out table still hadn't been cleared so I politely asked the lady at the bar prior to ordering if someone could clear the table. Her response was rude and abrupt "can you wait" I could see she was busy so I returned to the table and she came over immediately to clear the table and I thanked her and told her that I appreciate she was busy. She passive aggressively told me there was other clean tables available. At this moment, I was upset and left the restaurant immediately. First time out of my house since having my baby and I was met with such horrible rude unwelcoming service. Will not be returning.

Very decent service, food was good and as always nice and quiet

Came for dinner. Did the steak test, not a fresh (cooked from frozen) steak so it was chewy as hell.

Really like the lounges. Coffee and cake were good as always but the food is always good too.

Got very noisy very quickly when it filled up.

Popped in for lunch. Really lovely helpful staff and great food

Nice place, food was good, easy to order using QR code

Si un miembro del personal comete un error con su pedido, ¡NO se debe esperar que pague por ese error! Pedimos un desayuno de carne GRANDE y un desayuno vegetariano GRANDE (que reiteré al hombre barbudo miembro del personal en la caja después de que se enteró mal) pero un desayuno vegetariano PEQUEÑO llegó. Cuando le dije a la chica que dirigía nuestra comida, ella no se disculpó ni ofreció ninguna compasión, pero me dijo escarchadamente que tendría que pagar extra, ya que su colega preparó un pequeño desayuno vegetal. ¿Qué? Después de esperar 15 minutos más para que llegara el reemplazo, el miembro masculino del personal al que le ordené que lo trajera sin disculpas y cuando le pedí ketchup lo trajo y lo empujó groseramente a través de la mesa hacia mí, lo que fue notado por mi amigo y que parecía bastante grosero, ya que fue su error! Somos asiduos aquí y muchas otras ramas de esta compañía y estábamos cantando sus alabanzas antes de esto, pero la experiencia de hoy dejó un sabor amargo.

Ordered Quesadillas for brunch- very small portion , stood up from the table still hungry. Not worth the money at all. P.S. Have to pay and leave a tip in advance.

An entire vegan menu with good options, the vegan burrito was great

Perfect gluten free brunch, we always feel safe in the lounges.

Highly recommend the chicken wings, great service, prompt and polite, a very comfortable atmosphere catering to all ages

Gluten-free menu off the cart. Absolutely wonderful, relaxing atmosphere 😎 Fabulous place to meet a friend for a catch-up chat regarding all of the madness going on in your life 😀 We left with a smile and put the world to right. Staff are friendly and really make you feel welcome

As with all Lounge restaurants,the decor is always cool. I had the beef brisket chilli with chorizo and it was fantastic. Very good selection of food to cater for all especially with the Tapas and all day breakfast. Service was a little slow, and the wait time at the bar was slow too. It didn't affect me but thought it should be mentioned.All the staff were lovely though.

Love that this place has a separate vegan menu, when some places don’t even have a single vegan option on their entire menu. I had the aubergine flatbread today and it was really tasty.

Lovely tapas ..nice place to eat and socialise .

Excellent place and food is yummy ❤

Amazing service and incredible food. A Gluten-free menu full of options! I didn’t even know what to choose, I usually don’t have this much options as a celiac. Everything super tasty. Love it 🤍

I've eaten here a handful of times now. It's a great place, always quite lively and loud. Appears to be very dog (and kid) friendly. There's a decent range of food on the menu, and since it's such a great place I'd like to visit more to try out some of the different options. Price and quantity of food is reasonable. I liked being able to order from my phone whilst at the table. I don't feel it's appropriate to ask for tips when I'm having to handle the ordering but the servers despite not being tipped still delivered food promptly and with good service. I look forward to visiting again and trying something else on the menu.

Really great! Like the other Lounges, thus one doesn't disappoint. Great atmosphere and mega staff. Recommended!

Breakfast muffin was tasty although a bit greasy. Halloumi fries were not to mine or my friends taste. Cola wasn’t Coke which was disappointing, although it didn’t say it would be. Nice venue with friendly staff. Pricing similar to other places in the area.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere and eclectic customer base. Delicious food at a very reasonable price. No pressure to eat up and get out! Dog and baby friendly! What's not to like?

Always good food and service. Warm and inviting atmosphere, some books and puzzles to distract children and a great kids meal selection. GF and Vegan options available too.

Apareció aquí cuando Manchester parecía tener el peor día de lluvia. Fuimos a tomar un café y terminamos con un doble vodka y coca. El personal es siempre amable y agradable aquí. El lugar estaba lleno de gente comiendo y bebiendo.

Excellent menu of delicious dishes. The food tasted very fresh and great service.

Ordered coffee and a brownie, but the brownie didn't arrive in the 35mins we were there. As we had to leave we asked for a refund and was told it would come the next day, but they wouldn't give me a receipt showing the refund. Unsurprisingly, it still hasnt arrived. I have now been told three days later, refunds can take TEN working days to arrive back in my account

Friendly and helpful, good food, nice atmosphere

I love this place, staff are great and food is brilliant. I would definitely recommend.

Always good, I had Miami brunch & a mint tea.. loved it.Chocolate cake with dry raspberries very rich and authentic(no artificial butter or sugar icing)5 stars from me.

Expo Lounge is one of a chain, all with di names but all ending in "Lounge". Service could be a bit quicker, but is always pleasant.

Apareció aquí en un sábado por la mañana ocupado y no estamos decepcionados. El personal era amable y agradable. No tuvimos que esperar mucho para los desayunos y estaban deliciosos

Nice place in didsbury, reasonably priced food, good selection of small plates etc feels like cooked from scratch and not just microwaved

🇬🇧Expo Lounge is a vibrant restaurant located on Didsbury High Street. Its colorful façade and spacious terrace are perfect for enjoying a meal on a sunny day. The interior is eclectic and trendy, creating a unique dining atmosphere. The menu is impressive, offering numerous vegan and gluten-free options. Service is quick, and the prices are reasonable for the quality. I found my hamburger delicious, and my friends were equally satisfied with their choices. 🇺🇸Expo Lounge is a lively restaurant located on Didsbury High Street.

Lovely evening sitting outside. Not a long wait for food which was fresh and tasty. Staff very polite even when asking us to leave a closing time 😁 Definitely will return

Nice place to have lunch and meet with friends.

We had a lovely lunch here, sat outside in the beautiful English summer sun. The service was excellent, the prices were very reasonable, we ordered and paid using a barcode on the table for the first time! It all worked very well. 😀

All good! Nice relaxed atmosphere good food. Good service. :)))

Vinimos a almorzar con la familia después de la graduación de nuestras hijas. El personal era encantador y le dio a mi hija un vaso de burbujas para felicitarla, que fue muy amable de su parte. La comida era absolutamente delicioso, buen tamaño de porción. Sin duda volvería de nuevo y lo recomendaría a cualquiera.

Good range of dishes. Friendly staff.

I had been waiting for the lounge to open for at least 20 minutes outside the door, specifically because I enjoy the coffee here. Once in, at 9:00, I ordered a latte and a hot chocolate, eventually spending more than £7. When I sat and started enjoying my coffee and the environment, I decided to have some bakery items I bought from another shop. The two ladies at the till started talking sneakily, and then the older one rudely shouted, 'You cannot bring your own food!' We decided to finish our drinks and leave the lounge. Such a frustrating and bad experience. The ladies showed such poor communication skills and bad customer care. Never ever again in this place!

Absolutely glorious. Really good selection of foods for vegetarians

Lovely place with a good variety on the menu

Great food, drinks and service. Highly recommended

Grabbed a quick lunch, the Lounge Bacon Burger and the Smash Burger, both excellent flavour, great craftsmanship. Came out fast, fresh, and perfect size sides of chips and slaw. Beer was plenty cold. 5/5 would highly recommend!

Good food and service at reasonable prices. The waitress with the red hair is absolute knock out! (top drawer).

Great place with great food. We had gluten free fish and chips which were excellent.

The breakfast was very nice and tasty and being dog friendly was entertaining

Great little bistro type coffee shop. Good choice of food well presented great service and reasonably priced

Absolutely loved this place the food is amazing tasty and the staff are lovely and welcoming ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great as always. Kids and dog friendly, plus a really versatile menu ticks all the boxes

Great decor, ambience and food is always good. Always come for an easy meal.

Poached eggs one was without yolk. Rest was fine. Nice place in Didsbury for brunch.

Lovely place. Staffs are friendly. Ordered nasi goreng and chilli beef - delicious!!!

As a 1st time customer, I can honestly say my breakfast was faultless..... it actually defeated me lol. I'm a fussy guy with a healthy appetite which makes this a well earned compliment. So, great food in a great atmosphere under gentle lighting what more could you ask... So it's a big thumbs up from me & a special thanks to Sam in the kitchen for making it a great memorable experience & we will definitely be returning in the near future.

Food was spot on! Couldn't fault it.

Great place if you can get in. Good selection of food, herby chicken flatbread & tapas are excellent and reasonably priced for Didsbury.

Dog friendly. Lovely place and very extensive gluten free menu, which I was happy about. Ordered the sweetcorn fritters, they were to die for! Arancini was also great and the sweet potato fries were good. Burger was average, I would have been a bit disappointed, if I’d only ordered that. Service was great and friendly I would come back! My only critique was it was a little cold inside as the door is constantly opening/closing, so if you’re sensitive to that maybe ask to sit closer to the kitchen out of the way. Great place!

We came on the off chance for lunch mid week - and it was busy, we had to wait for a table, which we read as a good sign! Staff members were polite, if not a little rushed off their feet, we were put at an unclean table and she gave it a half hearted wipe! My son ordered from the children’s menu and I, the lunch. The food was great, tasty and very good value for money. We will be back with the rest of the family! A few pointers, the bathroom could be cleaner in fact the whole place does feel a little grubby but I think that’s part of the charm! Will be back for sure!

What a lovely find. Never been to Didsbury never mind eat here. Will definitely be visiting again. Food was amazing. Lovely ladies serving and wow what a busy place. Constant flow of people of all ages and even the odd well behaved doggie. A must visit. 👌

I always go here if I can when I'm in Manchester! I love the food, the friendly staff and quick service. It's dog friendly, which is nice. I'd defo recommend as the menu is wide ranging so likely something for everyone and good quality too 😊👍🏾

Wandered in for a drink the ambience and food was so amazing we stayed all night. Service was extra mile and it’s dog friendly too. Lovely chilled place.

Love this place, everything about it, foods great well priced clean dog friendly

Old or young, perfect for a treat, was busy but no delay in getting a table for two and served in a timely manner. Be prepared to order using your phone... luckily my daughter sorted that part.

Just a great place for an informal meal. I particularly like the fact you order and pay, thus avoiding that annoying waving for the bill at the end, then being slightly annoyed at the level of ‘optional’ service charge, for bringing a plate of food. Recommended.

The food was tasty, but portion sizes were smaller than expected.

The best place around. An amazing atmosphere and all around vibe. Drinks and food are Brillant and supreme quality for money. Best tunes around by far.

I love it in here it’s cosy and comfortable and the staff are lovely and doggy friendly

I love this place, I go with the girls from recovery and it's a really nice atmosphere with a good selection if soft drinks so we feel like we're actually on night out (theres loads of alcoholic drinks too we just cant have them). Loads of us are gluten free or vegan and there's a massive selection of stuff we can have that tastes great, I'd highly recommend the GF tapas. I took my vegan friend here and he loved it too. Staff are really nice and friendly and the place has loads of weird cool paintings to look at if the conversation gets boring. Toilets are clean and each loo has a proper room rather than a cubicle (this matters to me). There's a car park that's pretty cheap (just make sure you get a ticket after 10 mins there), my friends park on the road for free but I'm a bit nervous so the car parks great for me. The place is child and dog friendly and all flat with plenty of space between chairs for buggies, wheelchairs, walkers etc.

Always enjoyed this expo but last weeks experience was very disappointing. The food wasn't up to its usual standards as it was understaffed

Great menu and delicious food. Shame about the portion sizing of my dessert though - £3.95 for a very small slice of chocolate and raspberry torte was a disappointing end to the meal!

Go here regularly for breakfast or lunch, and never had a bad experience. Friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere and good food. Recommend

Good for a chat with beer after evening church service at 6:15pm Emmanuel church

Stayed in Airbnb locally and dropped in for lunch. Delicious food and good service. Would recommend 👍

Quirky, popular, expansive menu and delicious food. My Mezza salad with little falafel bits was perfect!

Popped in to collect an emergency order of churros at 2pm on a Saturday cuz my fiancé was craving it and hangry. Place was packed with a great atmosphere. Decent service with polite staff. Didnt try the rest of the menu but the food looked great. Everything on ground floor so suitable for disabled. There's a pay n display carpark at the back. You can order food for collection on the website. I'll deffo come back when I'm next in the village.

Lovely place to have a meal and drinks. :) a bit pricey what you get to be honest.

great atmosphere here, the most chilled place in Didsbury. food is ok and the staff are awesome. If you want to chill, be yourself and recharge expo is the place.

Horrible experience. And they ask for a tip before providing a service

Good food but nothing earthshattering. Shakshuka was tasty, some of the chickpeas needed more cooking though.

Only had a coffee but the two young ladies were lovely. Very friendly and helped with the area logistics too. Brilliant.

Relaxed place to meet up with friends. Food good.

I love this place, it's so quirky and the food is perfect every time!

First visit and will be back. Had a very good brunch in pleasant surroundings.

Food quite expensive, good range of drinks, but so so busy, got a table by the skin of our teeth.

Lovely atmosphere, great food and great staff.

I would like to shared my experience during brunch at expo lounge, we order nasi goreng however the taste was horrible and we order tapas again taste was not that great chicken was dry so disappointed with the food here however the services not that bad

Really relaxing place. Food is great. Great atmosphere with good beers.

Second visit to this restaurant/ bar, food excellent and great staff who are very friendly.

Lovely brunch. There is a great range of choices on the menu and also plenty of options for the kids too. Food was prompt, and portions sizes are fab (especially the kids' full breakfast). I would definitely recommend.

food cold sent it back came back warm never again

Nice food. Service was a little brisk.

Lovely food and atmosphere! They are also very dog friendly, with treats and water bowls, which is always a plus.
