Montagues Cafe in Rochdale

Visited here on a Friday lunch time. It is situated above a food hall near Rochdales outdoor market. There is a lift into “cafe” if you struggle with stairs. Parking is free in Rochdale centre on the town hall for a few hours and is a short walk. The menu is not extensive. There were specials on but most of which were sold out. The cakes, I believe , are home made and did look delicious. We both had a steak Canadian, a mocha and a coke. Mocha didn’t really taste of anything. Steak Canadians were basic with a small salad. Cost around £20. The place is beautiful, spacious, very clean and modern inside and very light which I liked a lot as I hate eating in dark places. Some interesting things on menu, and staff were ok. Toilets are down lots of steps. I hope they do well as a new small business in an up and coming town centre.

Took my Mum for her birthday from phoning to book and arriving felt so welcomed. Staff were lovely. The afternoon was amazing, you could tell everything was homemade. A lovely little cafe in the heart of Rochdale with views of the river and town hall. Highly recommend. Best afternoon tea in Rochdale

I have been to Montague's on a number of occasions and quite randomly myself, my grandma, sister, niece and nephew went in for food after looking at Rochdale's artisan market (a new hot spot for locals). We were seated promptly and had an amazing view looking over the market and were able to listen to live music. There is a play area for children and the menu/specials board is fantastic. Even better Prosecco is sold! Our afternoon was amazing and the girls who work there are so accommodating. It is just what we needed in our little but big town.
