San Carlo in Manchester

Went for breakfast before our flight , the food was excellent value for money. The service was incredible especially from our waiter typhoon ( sorry if spelt wrong ) he was so lovely. Definitely recommend here and will be back soon .

Toda la comida del aeropuerto es cara, pero aquí la calidad era genial y bastante buena relación calidad-precio. También hice un gran café americano. . . . .

Super 👍 Lovely service with a smile from Jade

Full English breakfast was excellent

San Carlo at Manchester Airport......the best avocado toast with poached eggs, I have ever had!!! The food is top quality. Such a change for an Airport! I will be back!

Quick service and very good food, lots of GF options. Super impressed.

Served by Kaloyan quick and friendly 👍🏻

What a shame , I love San Carlo restaurants , and eat there regularly. The customer service at this specific restaurant was so poor, what was supposed to be a relaxing meal prior to a long international flight was totally the opposite. Apparently I arrived an hour before closing (this was on repeat) and because of this availability of seating was an issue . The lasagna didn’t let me down but oh no! the Tiramisu was still frozen. The staff were nice but badly let down by their manager who told them to start sweeping up around the customers! Not good and all. *badly led restaurant!

Our waiter was excellent - attentive and had a personality! Love it when people love their jobs and provide such a great experience. Excellent customer service!

Por lo tanto, soy un viajero frecuente, y la mayoría de las veces cuando estoy en T 2, visito SCs para unas cuantas bebidas y comida antes del vuelo si estoy con mi esposa, . En esta ocasión me atendieron 2 personas diferentes y me cobraron dos precios diferentes por exactamente la misma cerveza 🤔 La señora me cobró 4 libras. 00 x 3 (también le di una £ 1. 00 propina) para la mitad de Peroni y el tipo me cobró £ 3. 25 , que al revisar el menú de bebidas después, sugeriría que era el precio correcto. Por lo tanto, parece haber tomado de mí un extra de £ 3. 25 (inc my £ 1 propina) Mi mensaje... Si decides sentarte en el bar, definitivamente lo haré.

No el San Carlo que he experimentado antes. Fui a la 1. 30 y el restaurante estaba casi vacío. Dos empleados sentados en una mesa en un descanso, el gerente charlando con ellos. Una nueva persona vino por turnos y en lugar de venir a tomar mi orden, se acercó a la mesa del personal, todos hablando entre sí y bromeando, durante demasiado tiempo cuando hay alguien sentado sin una bebida, mirándolos. Pedí un trago y luego se sentó en la barra, otra vez durante demasiado tiempo. Estaba a punto de ir a buscarlo yo mismo. Pedí las albóndigas. Asqueroso. Tuve que escupir grisle y luego encontré que estaban fríos en el medio (a pesar de estar en una olla de metal). Tuve que saludar a la camarera que por alguna razón me trajo mi cuenta. Cambié por los arancini, que eran buenos, pero yo estaba pospuesto para entonces. Cuando estaba listo para irme me llevaron la cuenta de nuevo -pensé para mí, apuesto a que las albóndigas siguen en ello- sí. Todo en una experiencia realmente frustrante y decepcionante, algo de personal snooty, y no una gran cantidad de sonrisas (con la excepción de una camarera). No volveré y creo que es un error que hayan abierto un restaurante del aeropuerto.

Great food and good service. I don't expect much from airport food outlets but I'd be more than happy with this meal in a High Street restaurant.

Great place to start before you travel food and drinks bit expensive but ha ho when you’re travelling prices not matter

Restaurant experience calm & relaxing. The first stop before continuing our journey

We went for breakfast here to start off our holiday and our server kaloyan was fantastic and very attentive and looked after us. I would highly recommend visiting here for breakfast the food was fantastic

Szilvia was lovely, great food and quick service thanks!

Food is served quickly, as directed. Unfortunately, we were ignored at the entrance and therefore had to wait a long time to be allocated a table, even though it was not busy and many tables were available. Arrogant service!

Saulene was very patient, attentive and efficient. Thank you

Really good customer service from our waiter Kaloyen 🙂

Lovely relaxing start to our holiday. Many thanks.

Mustafa was great! He was super attentive and even was checking the gates board for us to check we weren’t late. Food and drink lovely and an overall good vibe! We went here instead of the lounge(which was £80) and paid £65 for 2 breakfasts, 2pints and 2 cocktails. Defo Worth it instead of escape!

Excellent food ,service and atmosphere Brilliant 👍

Nice bite, lovely sight and eye candy for a server. What more could you want. Thanks Boris

Great service and really nice food

Very professional team doing a great job as always. Dalman was a credit to the operation.

Excellent gf and vegetarian options. Lovely food. Quick service. Would definitely recommend it and come back.

Brilliant little restaurant. Food was amazing. The wife's mushroom on sourdough were out of this world. Service was with a smile and was prompt and very efficient Would highly recommend

I had the scrambled eggs but was very dry bread, I was hoping to have a nice breakfast. (but for what I paid, of course, I had to eat it because it was quite expensive) But for what I have paid was not worth it. I recommend you guys talk to the waiter before you order it. Make sure they bring something decent to eat. Manchester Airport San Carlo

Food was nice, but quite a small portion of Frittata. Good service, OK atmosphere - it is in an airport.

Great coffee and food. Nice to visit a well run cafe with well trained friendly staff.

Best airport restaurant I have used. Very impressed Thanks

my big breakfast was looke warm the plate was hot but the scrambled egg was cold

Terrible service. Felt ignored. Waiting 10 minutes to be seated and then 20 minutes to have food order taken. There were more tables available than being used so it wasn’t like they were busy

Food very good but service poor. Disorganised front of house and had to ask 3 times for something.

Fabulous, great food, Callum our server was awesome so friendly and efficient

Lovely restaurant and food, friendly and attentive staff.

Really nice breakfast, great service! Our waiter was very friendly and funny! Just what you need at 5am! Great start to the holiday!

Good quality food, price reflex’s the quality at the airport and the staff were very helpful and approachable thank you - keep up the good work

Food was great. Waiter Callum was really helpful and friendly especially for 4.30 in the morning

I got breakfast at the airport and the pancakes were a little bit off a disappointment to say the least. Dry and crunchy on the outside and barely any fruit. For a small banana at best cut up and one strawberry . Asked to use the toilet and was asked if I’m coming back as if I was going to run out on the bill. Not up to the standard I’m used to when I go to san Carlos regularly

Poached eggs overdone, ricotta cheese smothered over toast making it to wet. Avocado taste absent.

It was very slow and we had to ask for the waiter several times throughout the meal, we found the staff rude, and the food was really expensive for what we got.

Came last year was fabulous. Appears to have lost its quality edge. Flat coke, dirty cup, lukewarm stewed tea, toast arrived without scrambled eggs which appeared to have been sitting on the pass. Not the best. To be fair porridge was good and berries fresh. We won’t we rushing back.

Food was great but service was severely lacking. Only time we spoke to staff was when ordering. Staff were blatantly ignoring and avoiding tables that were finished. Took our cash and said have a good day as if they expected the nearly £10 tip from the change.

Kaidi was very professional, attentive, efficient and a pleasure to be served by. The food was absolutely tasty, fresh and well cook!

Great service from Callum who was cheerful and attentive. Eggs Florentine was made perfectly. Tables and chairs could be cleaned a little better but generally all very good.

Nice affordable breakfast before flight. Staff was attentive and friendly.

Breakfast was great, Szyvia (Sylvia)was brilliant who served us …. She is a real credit to the team .. very well done

It’s never open, been twice at 4.30 and they let you stand there for ages before they tell you it’s shut!

Difficult to rate an airport restaurant at 5am, but a friendly Estonian waitress and a decent cooked breakfast helps earn a well deserved 5 star. Cappuccino coffee a life saver...

Great service. Clean and pleasant environment and quality food. I’d definitely eat here again when in T2 Manchester Airport. I definitely recommend.

Our server was excellent. Warm and friendly, professional and smart. Thank you

Lovely food, friendly and cheerful staff

Absolutely above and beyond service, we came here for breakfast ahead of a early morning flight from Manchester, couldn’t fault the staff and experience one bit , did everything they could to make us happy,

The blandest food possible with the given ingredients but nice place to sit with efficient and friendly service.

Absolutely amazing! Great food and service! Very kind workers! 5 star meal

Staff are great at accommodating us to feel looked after

Staff very friendly and helpful

Fight was cancelled received a voucher for food which stated san carlo included. Rude waiter came to the line and refused everyone saying we have to pay. Shame as we had breakfast the day before and we use the one in the city centre a lot and even the one in London every time we go. We will not be using them again and I will have to cancel our works do at the one in the city centre.

Excellent. Perfect tonic during a 7 hour flight delay. Special thanks to lovely Ukrainian waitress Yuri or Julie. A star. Thank you

Really good food, nice healthy options too. Our waiter Mustafa was so happy, cheery and super efficient! Such a better experience than past airport breakfasts. Well done 👍😘

Food came cold and not very tasty. £7.50 for a bacon sandwich, crusty cold toast. Nice waiters, not great food. Sat waiting almost 20 minutes before food, when they boast 8 minutes from ordering. Bill was £31 but I’ll be going to pret for a sandwich still. :(

As sense of calm in the chaos of snow delayed flights!!! Great service and food/drinks and decent value

Tayfun was an absolute superstar.

Service lovely all good lovely apart from scrambled eggs that are usually lovely very over cooked.

Lovely pre holiday experience with friendly staff and great service. Nice chilled ambience.

Really impressed with San Carlo at Manchester airport. Best airport breakfast ever. And much better than the airport lounges.

Nice flat white. Really nice attentive service. Eggs benediction OK but I think the prosciutto should be cooked or warm at least. Could add asparagus or spinach to the benedict too. Nice experience though

Never got served for about 15 minutes, then drinks took another 10 minutes absolutely terrible service some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Didn’t even have time to have food as it took so long to be served and get our drinks that we had to not order food. In disbelief at how bad this service actually was this was unbelievable!!! Prices also absolutely scandalous! Blonde member of staff called Lucy was also miserable and the opposite to helpful

Amazing! We were there for a couple of hours. Great service and delicious food.

Didn’t have much on their menu. And the food was very slow.

Very good and reasonable food for an airport. The smashed avocado came with a delicious ricotta topping. Service was OK, a bit slow at times.

Fab start to our holiday to Fuertaventura. Seated promptly considering how busy the restaurant was. Great food (breakfast) and service from Callum. Thank you ☺️

good food, horrible service. I had to call at least 5 times for somebody to order for me, and when I have a word not understanding on the menu the waiter give me an interesting arrogant look, when English is neither his first language.

Scrambled eggs, toast & bacon; satisfying. Plate cleared. The extra touch was Firat going to get me mayonnaise from a neighbour restaurant to make sure i had everything i wanted for my airport breakfast.

hard to order and hard to pay. No one care. Horrible services.

Thank you for looking after us!Service was outstanding and the food was amazing.

Service was great as always. Unfortunately the food was cold. Always eat here but left disappointed this time

Please do not put Eggs Benedict on stale, un-chewable, indigestible sourdough bread, it’s just plain wrong and spoils the plate of food. Traditional soft muffins please.

The breakfast and scrambled eggs were lovely!

We always start our holidays in San Carlo just the perfect way to start your holiday. Can you please recognise Ornelas Ascensao this young lady welcomed us with a huge smile and made us feel really welcome. What fantastic asset to your team. Ornelas is the reason we will be back next year.

First was a lovely friendly host

Really professional and pleasant service, atmosphere is calm and clean. Food was lovely and plentiful, really lovely experience.

Firat was very friendly and a good host

Had to ask three times to order, the waitress was not very sociable. Eggs florentine was not very nice and the mother in laws bread was really tough

The chicken and salmon salads were delicious - perfectly cooked and beautifully presented . Thankyou

Beautiful Restaurant, Friendly Waiters good food everything is fine

Best thing about Manchester Airport. Smart, comfortable, relaxing, great food and service!

Szilvia was very friendly and attentive

Good quality food and drinks. Friendly staff.ucj better than the usual airport restaurants and bars.

Nice and quiet today. Was seated by the window for a nice view of UK weather.

Sausage sandwich underwhelming bread too thick, no butter to speak of on bread. Not great for £8

Food cold when it arrives, more fat on the bacon than bacon, toast not toast just warmed bread, wilted salad, very cold in eating area.

The vegan breakfast was below average. I appreciate that it’s served cold because the veggies are marinated in advance but people don’t want to eat cold breakfast it just seems like a bad choice of meal. Kaloyan at the MAN airport however was amazing!! Super efficient, professional, nothing was too much trouble but at the same time not in my face. You can tell that this man has been in the industry for quite a while. Kudos!!

One of the best experiences at Carlo Restaurant Manchester airport this afternoon. Delicious food, high quality hygiene standards and good service. A bunch of thanks to all staff.

Sylvia, the waitress was exceptional. Polite, efficient, knowledgable and have excellent service throughout. However, she was badly let down by the bar manager & staff who worked slowly and inefficiently when the restaurant was at its busiest Thursday lunchtime 28.11.24.

Great service from Callum, he’s a credit to ur team!

Stopped in to grab some food before boarding our flight. Restaurant was very busy yet we were seated immediately. Server was with us within minutes. Very prompt food. We ordered the Eggs Royale, fresh croissant and two teas. The poached eggs were beautifully cooked. The ambiance was delectable with a gorgeous dogwood tree in the center. We highly recommend visiting for a quick bite or for a longer relaxing layover. Finn was our server and was fantastic. Thankyou for a great experience!

Lovely food and for the airport I think pretty reasonable price

Great food and friendly service from Tayfun? thank you very much!
