Playfoots Cafe & Bar in Salford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The place was busy, which is always a good sign Three breakfasts - one with pancakes, one full English and one Veggie. All fantastic. Good coffee as well Pleasant service. Not rushed, although the table had a time limit. Can't wait to come back.

Lovely coffee and cake . Cups a little bit small Friendly staff

The food was incredible and the waiter was dead sound (Irish bloke). Food was so good and filling, can’t complain at all other than tall stools but they seem to be in every breakfast bar these days!

Came at 1pm on a Tuesday. We had the Jerk Mutton bagel and the KFC Bagel. Both were fresh, hot, juicy and incredibly tasty! 100% will be back

Possibly the best brunch I've ever had! Travelled up from London and was so impressed with the varied menu. My son had the KFC pancakes and I had the mackerel sourdough. Delicious both of them.

Excellent English breakfast at playfoots, Great staff very friendly, fantastic food highly recommended

Best place on Monton Road, great drinks, amazing food, staff are lovely and friendly. Cannot recommend highly enough! If there are sausage rolls, get one!

A beautiful place - Dan was so lovely and welcoming and made a lovely coffee too - the live music just made it even more beautiful - 11/10 recommend !

Amazing. No other word for it. The best English breakfast you'll ever find.

We really enjoyed our breakfast at Playfoots. Service was fast and welcoming, and the food was amazing. It has limited sitting space, so it gets busy fast, but it is worth the wait.

Came in after work to a delightful atmosphere and the bartender made me a cocktail that wasn’t even on the menu and it turned out peng as you can see, nice one Dan

Cant rate this place highly enough. Absolutely fantastic, the full breakfast is honestly the best I've ever had anywhere and for 13 quid it's well worth it. My daughter tried the avocado on sour dough bread. Whilst she really liked it. Was a tad bit much for her to handle. Will be back thanks guys.

Fantastic service - Jo was top tier. Great food, nice venue, will definitely be back when in Manchester.

I liked my food, atmosphere not as much. Staff is simply unhappy in this place, guy behind the counter, guy who cooked and brought out our food, girl who " welcomed us" It No hi, hello, thank you or goodbye. Not worth a come back.

The vegan breakfast was delish, a lot of flavours on the plate, 100% recommend going.

Hands down the BEST place for brunch in the whole of Manchester! The food is incredible and the staff are super friendly and helpful! Never bad a bad meal and always looking forward to our next visit. Leanne and Liam are especially amazing and always go out their way to make our visits extra special. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Really lovely place with great atmosphere and food. Only thing is the coffee wasn't the standard you expect in a speciality place as such. But really great place.

Cosy neighborhood cafe with good food

We have been coming here for years. It used to be nice but it isn't any more. The girl making hot drinks was rather rude and mocking. The young lady who served us was pleasant and helpful but unfortunately she was the only one. We now won't go back again.

I love this local cafe. Feel so at home. It's my favourite place in Monton. Well done guys.xx

Thursday night, lads night, Play Foot never fails to deliver. Always a great atmosphere and a good night

Visited playfoots cafe and bar for breakfast this morning. The breakfast was amazing. I had pancakes with bacon and my husband had a more traditional breakfast. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Playfoots itself was beautifully decorated and had a nice atmosphere. It was family friendly and had two sets of lower tables for people. As someone who's short I really appropriate been offered this table as the higher ones are impossible to get up on. Small but covered seating area outside. It's was easy to find. Toilets upstairs. Decent alcohol selection.

Beers: 7/10 - Estrella and craft beers - six taps Atmosphere: 10/10 - occasional DJ. Good vibes. Music: 9/10 - DJs choice on the night we were there. Other: On the expensive side £6 a pint. Can by pizza from next door and bring it round! Pizza is unreal. Their food at lunchtime is very tasty!

I'm amazed. Everything is perfect, breakfast, mocha, environment, service, etc. Great place.

Lovely breakfast. The service was amazing. I really enjoyed the matcha latte and queried which brand they used. Liam who was serving us offered to sell me one of their bags (at retail price) which made my day. Honestly no faults and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely amazing food!! Great vegan options and non vegan for my partner. The flavours were amazing on both of our dishes, we can't wait to come back! Staff were lovely and the place is so nice inside:)

Amazing service from Jo and food great as always

We visited Playfoots in the evening when it is a bar rather than a cafe. Its a nice small independent individual welcoming bar.

My friend had the vegan option and was so happy we could all have something to eat that was delcious

Despite being told there would be a 40 minute wait for food, we were actually served rather promptly. One can only assume they tell people this, because they are usually extremely busy, and our visit today showed no exception. The food is good and filling, but the one thing that let it down, for me, is the fact that they charged £0.50p for ketchup! Come on guys, what's that all about? If I'm paying for a full English breakfast, I'd expect basic condiments to be included. Please rethink this.

Atmosphere was nice, loved the look of the interior and the overnight oats I got was tasty. It seemed to take a really long time for the food to come out however, and it was just overnight oats and pancakes. I didn't time it but it was something that was really noticeable especially as it was about 1045/11 when we ordered and 1245 when we left yesterday (and we weren't dillydallying with eating or asking/waiting for the bill). The service staff were fine, so maybe a kitchen staffing issue?

Hands down best English breakfast I’ve had in my life

Came for a birthday breakfast on a Saturday morning. Really good service and great atmosphere. Breakfast is big but also good quality.

Food was really good, the only thing was they have to work on their pricing. As I got myself Avo n toast and it came with only 1 portion of bread which is not justifiable for the price and was not very well seasoned either. Coffee was alright ! And the pancakes were really fluffy and great!

Absolutely delicious food and fab service every time we have been!

The best brunch in the North! Delicious food, quirky decor and wonderful staff who couldn’t be more accommodating. The menu has something for everyone, if you haven’t been you need to try it now!

Best place for breakfast, it's small but well worth the visit

Absolutely stunning breakfast 😋 😍

Overall it's a nice place where I have been a few times. Breakfasts are very good but in my recent visit I chose something a little different - which would have been nice, I'm sure, if it hadn't been so spicy. I didn't eat very much because I can't handle spicy food - at no point during our meal did anyone ask how the meal was. After eating we were asked how it was and I said "it was a little spicy for me" and she looked at how much was left and said "do you want to take the rest away with you?", Which I thought was an odd question given the fact I clearly didn't enjoy it. Anyway, overall good but not great service - make sure you look up the food online before ordering because there is no warning on the menus of spicy food! I feel disappointed to have paid for a meal out that I didn't actually eat, but lesson learned about looking things up before ordering.

That Korean fried chicken is unreal ya know. Absolutely top draw.

My wife loves this place, especially for brunch and i cant disagree. Always good atmosphere and food.

Arrived today with my daughter & grandaughter asked for highchair didn't understand as pointed to 1 & said only got that 😳 then was told to move to other seating as they needed to get through ov we didn't feel welcome so had to walk out very rude would not recommend if with children

This is my absolute fave place for breakfast! Every single part of the veggie breakie is amazing, even the mushrooms & tomatoes are perfectly seasoned. Would highly recommend, can't fault this place.

Popped into Playfoots for the first time for breakfast today . Service, atmosphere and food were all amazing! Had to wait around 30 minutes for food, but boy was it worth the wait. I had the Smokey Bacon french toast and Trudi had the Tiramisu Pancakes. Huge portions of deliciousness on both plates. Cannot recommend Playfoots enough and we will 100 percent be returning to sample more of the amazing food served there. Just Brilliant 👏 👌 😀

Lovely local Brunch/Cafe spot with lovely staff who will always do their best to cater for everyone. Go to of mine is the turmeric latte and vegetarian breakfast which I’ve had a few times and is always made immaculately.

We love evenings in Playfoots, this Saturday was no exception. Phil and Dan are great hosts, always polite and professional. We'll be back soon! Anne & Nikki

Great, food was delicious, vibe lovely and our dogs made super welcome by smiling staff. Will be back! 🍻

Was turn away by the super busy Vintage Ambiance, only to walk over to this place which is really nice, has great service and fantastic food the orange hot chocolate was really tasty. Full english was also really nice. Spent around £30 for two people two dishes one drink.

We had a 1st birthday celebration upstairs in the lounge area on a Sunday. Whilst we didn't have the food as we catered ourselves due to numbers, I know it's super incredible in general and a must-try! Playfoots and their team were very accommodating with the celebration and helped with the litte things like cutlery, napkins and clearing up the waste afterwards. We were pre-warned that they wouldn't be able to do table service upstairs if they were busy. However their team were great on service downstairs for drinks and so friendly! 😁 Whilst the venue is small, it still manages to cater for a variety of situations; little celebrations, a few drinks, or for brunch for example. The atmosphere is great and if you're lucky, you may even spot a cute dog or two! Would 100% recommend and give them ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing little cafe with a varied but not too big menu. It's a very popular place, so can get very busy.

Top class staff very helpful food good and fresh prices reasonable.

Best place to relax and have a good meal, it's hard to know which dish is my favorite, they are all wonderful.

Best spot on Monton Road, the KFC bagel is the signature dish but don't sleep on the oxtail and shin birria eggs, sensational lunch.

Superb breakfast and my wife (who is from Mexico) said the birria eggs were incredible! Free sausage for the dog was a lovely touch as well, we'll be back!

I've had breakfast here before (full English) and it was probably the best I've had in Monton. I saw a review of someone raving about the Birria Eggs so decided to go try it. Can't fault the food, I wouldn't have chosen this dish if it hadn't been for the review but glad I did. Definitely more a lunch meal than breakfast but very tasty with just a nice level of spice. Also shared some Tirimisu pancakes with my wife, they were OK but wouldn't rush out to have those again. The only downside was the seating situation, it was very busy so we were asked to go upstairs. Now upstairs there are basically 4 seating areas - Round table for 4, rectangular table for 6, bar stool type seating for 2/3 and finally a lower down table with sofa/relaxed seating (not great for food). We were asked to sit at the stools, (which is probably the 2nd worst place to sit for food after the low down table), but I completely understand why as there were just 2 of us. However, before we got drinks another walk in couple were brought up and given the 4 seater table, then after them (we had drinks now) another couple came and were given the 6 seater table. I just think it would have been nice if we would have been asked first if we would like to have been moved to the proper tables if they were going to be occupied by the same number of customers, as we were there first and the stools weren't ideal for a sit down meal. Other than this, the staff were attentive and quick, just a shame this spoilt out enjoyment.

Had a delicious vegan meal here. The decor is very trendy and they also have a few vegan cakes (salted caramel crunch, Oreo flavored cookie etc.). I paid £17 for a cookie and pumpkin and mushrooms on sourdough. Love the originality of the menu. It’s dog friendly place too.

Dog friendly, portions are huge for the price! 🌼✨

Korean chicken bagel is the best chicken burger you’ll ever have, unbelievable every time. Unfortunately the waiting staff aren’t always the friendliest they seem to have a knack for employing people with surly attitudes, Lonnie excluded he’s always sound. The food quality keeps us coming back though.

Great food and great service! We popped in wed. Busy little spot. Dog friendly with free sausages for the dogs. Super friendly staff.

Small cafe that does great food and coffees

I saw Manchester’s finest review and honestly this place did not disappoint, the coffee was actually amazing and the food was really good and great portion sizes for the price, we had the kfc pancakes and the veggie breakfast and both were spot on! Will definitely be back here for a weekend brunch or just a coffee. The service was also spot on and quite quick. I’d say this place lives top 3 on Monton Road for me.

Vegan breakfast perfection Menu looked amazing too to bottom

Can't fault it! Great menu and food always on point!

Dog friendly, Yorkshire tea, veggie breakfast was amazing inc halloumi, avocado and veggie black pudding. I usually hate tomato’s in my fry ups but the one here was very nice with flavour!

We were travelling to Manchester from Poland, read about this nice place, and decided to visit. Breakfast was delicious, the place is very busy, but this is totally understandable. We wanted to try more dishes from the menu and visited again this morning. Again, everything was lovely 🥰 Definitely recommend.

This place is 10/10 perfection, Birria eggs are the best thing I've ever tasted it doesn't get better than this portions are massive and the Korean fried Chicken pancakes are just as good fluffy pancakes, the fried chicken pisses on any you'll get anywhere in Manchester! Top staff, great service and value for money is class! Be back few times a week! Thankyou!

Good breakfast as usual, but please bring back Salford Roasters coffee. You can taste the difference. The new stuff is nowhere near as good for the same price.

Great atmosphere amazing food well worth a visit definitely going again

The food was delicious, amazing service and ambience. Definitely returning to try more items. Had the birria and KFC chicken bagel. Birria was such tender meat and the KFC chicken was Korean perfection!

New favourite in Monton without a doubt! Went for breakfast today at Playfoots Wow the food 10/10 I got the mushroom on toast which was so flavourful. The portion size was huge and the sourdough bread was to die for! Coffee was amazing. The other dishes were the full breakfast and veggie breakfast which was also delicious. Definitely a new favourite in monton.

Thursday quiz night would be great idea if quiz guy wasn't soooooo LOUD, also very political. And F*** this and that! When challenged on answer said alternatives we also right.🤔 Won't come back on a Thur unless they get another quiz guy.

Outstanding Small personal space Great menu We had chicken bagel, bacon maple syrup and pecan French toast and rosemary and garlic chips. Flavour combinations we amazing Highly recommend

Having a fantastic breakfast here . Highly recommend it. Lovely fresh produce . Very good friendly staff. Thank you guys 👌

An absolute must if you’re in the area! Friendly service in a cute inviting space. We had a chai and a chai with reishi, both were delicious! The Birria eggs were AMAZING and the maple bacon French toast was yummy. Very happy we stopped here on our visit to Manchester.

As a regular here, the food is excellent, always brilliant quality with a really varied menu to suit whatever you fancy at the time. Our only slight feedback is that the time taken to serve the food can be quite long if you go early in the morning, but with an amazing coffee it is well worth the wait. Would highly recommend.

Second time visiting this little gem Great food, great coffee, great service - even better that it’s an independent business! We had the halloumi bagel and French toast and they were divine! Fresh tasty food, quick service, priced well and the whole ambience is just a great vibe Jo & Bella looked after us - both a credit to the place! We will be back for sure, and we won’t over order next time Thanks so much guys! We are excited for the new menu!!!

Playfoots monton yes please billant beer will be returning and good music hidden Jem

Best breakfast in Monton. Friendly staff, gorgeous food, honest pricing and always a queue to get in which I think is the biggest testament to how good this place it.

Have been a couple of times for brunch. Great food, very filling. Good selection of coffee. Would recommend.

Wonderful spot, great music and great staff

Playfoots is such a fantastic Cafe/Bar. It is my favourite spot for a bit of lunch. I booked out the upstairs space for a post wedding brunch and it was absolutely perfect. The service was great and was ran so smoothly by all of the staff. The food was excellent as it always it, couldn't have asked for a better wedding hangover day. Thank you so so much. Can't wait for our next trip her for a bite to eat and a tipple.

Full English was fantastic,the staff were very attentive, would certainly visit again

The food was very tasty when it eventually arrived. They got the order wrong three times and brought the food out at different times so some of our group got their food while others were still waiting for theirs after 20 mins! I don't know how they get away with it but the room is not accessible for people in wheelchairs/or with mobility issues. Sitting on a hard wooden bench may be ok for some but not for me. Would not go there again nor recommend.

Chicken Chipotle Briliant, lika always perfect food in perfect plays. Thank You

Visited today for brunch while staying with family. Food was incredible. 2 of us had Barms both packed full and delicious. 1 full English and a rum French toast equally good. Coffee is good and a plus point for me is when you ask for black they fill it to the top unlike many places where you just get 3/4 cup. Our orders were taken within a couple of minutes of being seated and we were warned in advance that food would be 20-30 minutes. It was served in about 20 minutes which is not unreasonable for fresh cooked food. Service was good and the staff were all friendly and helpful. We will be back

Having tried the Korean Chicken Bagel about a month ago, it was worth a big detour on a trip from the Isle of Man today so that my wife could try it too! Absolutely delicious!!!

Great brunch! Good price and massive portion! Come here every 1 or 2 weeks!

Great food, not been for a while but still fantastic little place. Nice and busy so must mean still good. Opted for the full English and the Korean fried chicken bagel, both very good. Service is hit and miss but well worth a visit for the food. Reasonably priced, outdoor seating available, pay and display car park 300 metres down road. Enjoy

Gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere friendly staff.

Didn't have any food but a few drinks during the live music. Well done for putting this on.

Great music venue, dog friendly and lovely staff!

Great spot for brunch. Dog friendly, a changing selection of beers, great food, and fantastic staff. You cannot book, which more places should take note of, as it's disappointing to show up at other places with loads of empty tables only to be told that are all reserved

Remember walk-ins only. However, they are always accommodating. Food is top notch! Nice buzz to the place. Has to be the best full English in Greater Manchester for sure! Staff are lovely too!

After reading positive reviews on Google and knowing that it's a dog-friendly establishment, we decided to give this place a try. Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised when they immediately offered a sausage to our furry companion. We opted for breakfast and ordered a variety of dishes, including pecan and bacon waffles, meringue and passion fruit waffles, and French toast. The overall quality and taste of the food were exceptional, surpassing our expectations. Additionally, the staff members were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit. If there was one slight drawback, it would be the generous portion sizes. While it's certainly a great value for those with hearty appetites, the portions were larger than anticipated and proved to be quite challenging to finish. This could be a consideration for individuals with a smaller appetite or those looking to avoid excessive food waste.

Great spot for a drink, especially if you can bag a seat outside on a sunny day. If the weather is fowl, head upstairs to the cosy sitting room.

Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff

Really nice but different meal and reasonably priced. Staff was nice too. Would return for brunch again

By fluke we happened upon a particularly busy day. We had a half hour wait for food but it was totally worth it. Great coffee. The buttermilk pancakes were amazing - generous portion with meringue and pineapple. The staff were lovely, polite and surprisingly chilled despite how busy they were. We didn’t feel hurried at all. My only regret is that we don’t live closer as we were on holiday. But next time we’re in Salford, I’d make a special effort to visit again.

Heading home after a long weekend in sunny Salford we wanted to grab a quick bite. So we ended up at Playfoots. This cafe is pretty tiny inside, but has some pavement space. There was a "45 minute" wait for food but it wasn't that long and was well worth it. I had a smashed avocado on sour-dough and my better half had pancakes (of course!). Both were delicious. The smashedvocado had seasoned pumpkin seeds and pea shoots on it, and a grilled lime (wasn't sure about that). Coffee was excellent - smooth, creamy, everything you want in a latte.

Proper tasty food, quality portions and friendly people. Definitely worth a visit.
